The Numbness I Felt

Chapter 2

With Graphic design we where told to do a 3D model of anything we wanted that was school appropriate. I set up on the project and started with my work.

================================
Song above is great btw
================================

When the hour was over I headed to my next period which was advance Algebra II because I doubled up. I then went to my last class English. My English class when smoothly, but we have to do a two page essay on what we got and I got the topic 'Fear'. I wrote my rough draft throughout class and then the bell rand I was free. My brother had Volleyball after school (ik Volleyball season isn't at the beginning of school for most places) so I was walking home today. As I slowly walk down the street I hear Carter.

"HEEEEY," Carter yelled at me. After he caught up to me he said, "So you walk home too?"

"Not always my brother has Volleyball." I say to Carter.

"I though the season isn't till January though." He said slightly confused.

"He plays for a scholarship so he gets permission from the couch to stay after school and practice." I mentioned to Carter.

"I guess that makes sense oh and I was wondering-" he starts then stops turning red.

"What is it that you where wondering?" i question him.

"Nothing important." he seemed nervous.

I see a spirit floating around him humming the kissing in tree tune. He points at Carter making kissing sounds. Why of all people I deal with this. Carter seems to twitch a bit but doesn't seem to notice.

"Val you ok." Carter says waving his hand in my face.

"Yeah just was thinking." I say blushing.

Carter looked like he could see through my lie but he left me be.

"Oh my house is next," I say walking towards it. I walk up to the door with Carter and noticed no one was home and then said to Carter, "Your cute."

I close the door feeling stupid for what I did right then. I go up to my room and cry. I ruined my chances of being at least friends with him. I felt numb again, but something inside me wanted pain. I ignore it I don't want to go back to my old habits. I start to cry more and my body cry's for pain and then I got up and grabbed a bag from my desk. I heard a light scream it probably is me thinking to hard as i get ready to open the bag.

Carter's POV

I stand on Val's porch in shock he just said he thought I was cute. I walk home bright red and then I think to myself. I hope he is ok he seemed like he regrets something. I walk up my driveway and onto my porch and then search for my keys. After a bit I found them and unlocked the door and head upstairs. I realized that I never asked his number. I take out my phone seeing a google classroom notification (does anyone else's teachers use that or just mine?).

I pull out my idea journal and write a idea about a song and book. My starts rings.

(Bonus points if you know the song)

I answer my phone.

"Hello?" I say quietly.

"Hey hun." My Mom said.

"Yes Mom?" I say worried.

"I wanted to know if we need more Milk." She said.

"Actually yes Mom." I say relieved.

"Thanks honey love you bye." She says hanging up.

I turned on some music 'Bohemian Rhapsody' plays. I hum to the song while working on my rough draft I decided to go with the topic Love. I was writing down the first body when a loud sickening scream breaks through my ears. I look outside and around, but see nothing not even on my phone. I was confused until it repeated again and then paused the again in a cycle. It scared me I start to feel colder like some of the happiness was sucked away then I twitch. I gulp this hasn't happened in years my twitching gets worse then I hear a whisper.

"Help me." The Voice whispers over and over as I twitch more.

"Hello? What is wrong?" I say worried.

"Help me." It keeps whispering.

I started to shake now as it got colder. I knew this feeling to well Electromagnetic Energy it sets of my twitches the worst. My body senses electric current and energy it has always done that static electricity is part of me. It gets warmer slowly and my twitching fit gets better slowly. I curl up on my bed worried it has been two years since the last incident. No one understands my twitching, so I just call them ticks to hide the true fact that the electric currents effect me more than others. I slowly walk to the mirror in my bathroom and see my pupils are dilated and you can see the inner yellow ring of my dark grey blue eyes. I walk to my room and lay on my bed and feel pain as my sheets give off static electricity when I move. I just curl into a ball and fall asleep slowly.

How is everyone Ik I left Val's part on a cliffhanger but trust me it is important to dedicate a less tired version of me to it. I have so plans for things in the future let's The next chapter might crazy. Hope a rawrderful day.
