I wake up and it's the early morning, an early Monday morning to be more precise. I remember all which happened over the weekend and yet it still makes me ill over the fact Heather is officially dead. She gone for good! Well not good for her friends and family but still, my point here is very valid.
Memories of me and Michael proceed to race over my head and I just smile to myself as my heavy eyes struggle to open I reach for my phone and check the time, it's 6:30AM so I get myself up out of bed and proceed to get ready for school, I wanted an early start.
I throw on some simple clothes, it was forecast to be a sunny day so I wanted to look decent yet not overheat. I stretch and yawn and head over to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Surprisingly the bathroom door was locked so I gently tap on it incase Evan was in there.
"One minute" Connor mumbles through the door. I can't remember if he said he was sleeping last night. At last, Connor finally opens the door and he is just stood there in his boxers and a baggy shirt with ruffled hair.
"Brush your hair, Connor, you don't wanna go around looking like a bush" I say to him and I walk past him.
"I mean at least I don't look like a 'school shooter' anymore" He tells me and I just look at him while I lift one eyebrow up but he just shakes his head "never mind".
I head towards the sink (faucet) to brush my teeth. I finish brushing my teeth and I throw some water on my face and look up at myself in the mirror, I really need to brush my own hair never mind Connor's.
I unlock the door and walk out to see Evan walking out of his room. I give him a smile greeted with a 'good morning' and he says it back.
I don't eat cereal this morning so I just grab a breakfast bar and head over to our shitty school. I put my earphones in and listen to (Favourite singer/band) while I walk to school.
I get around halfway to school as I see Rich across the road . I begin to stare and I slow my ice down hoping he doesn't see me in the corner of his eye. I really couldn't be bothered for him this early in the morning. Most importantly, why was he awake so early?
All of a sudden, while my eyes were still on Rich I watch him collapse. I race over the road for his safety, I couldn't tell if he hit his head on not from across the road.
"Rich? Rich can you hear me?!" I crouch down to him and lift up his back. I slap his face with little force hoping to stun him somehow and I mumbles a few words.
"Y/N..?" he weakly says make to me with a slight different tone in his voice which sounded like a light lisp.
"Rich, are you okay? You just sort of collapsed" He pounces up and brings me up with him as he slaps himself in the face with a decent amount of force.
"I'm fine but it has nothing to do with you about what happened, okay?" I just nod my head in agreement at what he tells me. "You tell anyone you saw me like this in the streets and you're dead! Mark my words" He places his hand on his forehead as if he was lightheaded and I put my hand on his back to help keep his balance up right and he shoves me off while walking onwards, speeding up in the process.
I just carry on walking and I still ask myself why Richard Goranski was walking to school so early and alone. Life was being confusing as fuck and I couldn't be bothered to understand the way it was funtioning in the time. Although Rich wasn't my greatest friend I didn't exactly want him walking to school alone again.
I arrive at school at the time I wanted and I head towards the cafeteria just to chill out alone and to go on my phone. Suddenly, I see Jeremy walk into the cafeteria and sit down at the other end of the room so I stand up and walk towards him.
"Hey Jeremy" I say to him softly, he probably doesn't want to talk to me. He looks up at me and rolls his eyes.
"I don't remember asking you to talk to me but you know. What do you want?" He sharply spits at me and I just brush it off and ignore him.
"You're friends with Rich, right?" I ask him whilst folding my arms to show a defensive posture.
"What's it to do with you?" He proceeds to snap at me.
"I'm just worried about him, and you." I tell him, I truly was worried about him I mean he used to be my good friend. I pause before talking again
"I saw Rich almost faint on the way to school so I was wondering if he could just get some reassurance on the way to and from school. Anyways, Michael told me something about a Squip which really concerned me for you. The Squip are dangerous as fuck Jeremy, I'm legit worried for you". He lets out a chuckle and rolls his eyes.
"Y/N, you don't need to worry about me anymore, you're not my problem and I'm not yours. Stop bothering me" he carries on to laugh and I lose my temper.
"this guy Michael plays Warcraft with told him
his brother went from a straight-D student to a freshman at Harvard. You know where he is now?" I sharply say back at him.
"Really happy and successful?"
"He's in a mental hospital. Totally lost it!"
"Y/N, the thing is you're jealous of me, you and Michael! Just admit it. I think you're pissed I have one and you don't!" Jeremy bites back at me with his venomous words, he doesn't give up without a fight.
"You're so far up your ass that you won't even listen to me!" I wanted to slap him at this point.
"if you're telling me his Squip made
him crazy-" He calms down for a split second.
"His Squip didn't make him crazy, Jeremy. Will you just please listen to me, for a second! I really want to help you get rid of it"
"Well there you go, then. The Squip didn't change a thing about his mental state, infact I would say it helped him!"
"You're not listening again! He went crazy trying to get it out!" I shove him to kick some common sense into him yet it definitely doesn't work, it makes him more mad.
"Y/N, don't even talk to me again. I don't want to see Michael's face or your face again. He probably set you up to this didn't he?!" He grabs the top of my t-shirt and pulls me closer to him and once more I push him.
"Michael had nothing to do with this so leave him the fuck out of this, asshole" I spin around and head to my locker, I wish I hadn't came to school as early as I did.
