Invertation

Chapter 3- The Girl

     When I woke up, I was in a strange place. Thinking it was the hospital, but it wasn't. I was in my own dream. In my dream, I have these Dream Islands that I made up with my imagination. Every time I enter my Dream world, I always spawn where I was before waking up the previous night. There are many islands I have created. City, Futuristic, Modern, Steampunk, Fantasy, and so on. I think of what ever I want in my Dream Islands which are connected to each other with a light beam. Like I can imagine a tall building and I can move it, modify it, and add what ever I want to it. It's like the game Sim City, but better.
   Curious as to where I'm standing. I looked around and I discovered it as my school. I looked around seeing everything in place as if I was really in school, but I knew it wasn't because the time on the clock was six o'clock which school doesn't go on for that long or start that early. As I turned the corner, I slid down the railing and I kept walking until I saw someone all the way at the other side of the school hallway. Curious to who it was. So I yelled, "HELLO!!!" There was no response. I yelled again, "HELLOOO!!!"
   Still no response. I kept walking towards the person. It was a girl with black hair, a snapback on backwards, yellow sweatshirt and shorts. She turned around and waved at me. I waved back. She started walking towards me. Feeling anxious and scared, I didn't know what to do, but at that point. She was about six feet away from me and she looked cute, beautiful, and amazing. "The hi's!" She said as that would be something I would say. "The hi's!" I said back. We giggled a bit. "What's your name?" I asked. "Danielle." She said. "That's kinda like my name!" I said surprised. I told her my name but oddly enough, she knew it. I asked how she knew and she replied saying, "I'm you, but the opposite gender." "Woah.. that.. that's... strange, but really cool!" I said. She says, "Well, when that spider bit you, the spider was actually accurate of where to bite you to give you the Invertation Virus." "Wait.. the whAT?" I asked worried. "The Invertation Virus. From my knowledge, only one person has it and it's you." "B-b.. But.. wha?" I stopped to see Danielle trying to not laugh. "What's so funny?" I asked. "You said Butt." She said as she laughs and I giggle as that's something I would say too. "But seriously, what will happen to me?" I asked. "I'm not sure, but it's possible that things about you will be the opposite, like me!"
   I started breathing heavily thinking I was gonna die. "Am.. am I gonna die?" I asked quickly. "No!... Well, hopefully you don't." "Sh.. Should I tell someone about this?" I asked as we were walking down the hallway. "If you want, your choice." We sat down at a lunch table and started talking to each other. I had a very strong relationship forming with her as we share the same trait, personality, and we both loved Steven Universe!
   We are the same, the opposite of different, we are not two people, but one. I've always have wanted an identical Friend. Someone who thinks like me, hyper like me, keep up with me, nice like me. Danielle is the person who I've always wanted wanted, but sadly, she's just a dream entity.
   I woke up the next day and I ran to the mirror. All I saw was me, myself and I. Nothing changed as I still had myself. The red left eye too. Nothing really changed physically or mentally. I was thinking about that girl all day. My Mom drove me to school and I basically kept my head down without suspicion drawing towards me. I was Imagining as if I was a ninja, I could not be spotted by the enemies so I hid, blended in, and even avoided the leader! I then get to my destination and I had to crack the code, I turned the dials. I open and I put my backpack in it as it carries items I cannot lose, I pick up the needed items and I close the locker and carry the items.
   I left my Imagination and I was walking to my class with my school items. I ran into my Best Friend Sarah who asked me what's wrong as I could tell by her voice without looking up that she was worried for me. I replied while looking down, "Nothing. Just... eh.. tired." She responded, "Well... are you gonna look up at my beautiful face?" "That's true though, but.. I'm like.. super tired..." I said. She was eager to know so I said to go to her locker. We sat down in front of her locker and I begin to look up slowly. She gasps with surprise, shocked with lightning, and feared inside of her. I made sure no one else saw me. She saw my red eye. My creepy blood red eye.
   She couldn't say a single word about it. She was frozen as if she was stuck in a big ice block. "What.. oh my.. gosh.. wha... what happened?" She asked. "It.. it's.. Something that happened over.. Christmas break... Just.. Don't worry about it." I said. When I was in zero period, I just looked down at the history book not caring about what is around. I care, but the fact I have a red eye just makes me uncomfortable to let anyone know about it. It was uncomfortable when Sarah found out, but that's ok for her. Someone asked me what that thing was on my arm. I told them it's an armband and lied saying I wear it for fashion when I actually wear it for protection. it was a repetitive loop each class.
   Each class trying to excuse my self to looking down. After 3rd Period. The principal spotted me. "Don't worry Dan. It'll be ok, you will make it." He whispered to me and he quickly hugged me. In our home room, I was lucky enough to have homework so I don't have to look up, but as always, there were my good friends who would say hi to me and fist-bump me. People asked me what was on my arm, I told them to not worry about. I was quite popular in my own way at school. There were people who knew me before I knew them. I never wanted fame and attention from school, but my personality and being my self has ended up on this path. I followed the yellow brick road to unwanted fame.
   When someone said hi to me, I tried not to be rude. I covered my eye with my hand as if I was stressed and tired as I said hi to her. "Are you ok Dan?" She asked me. "Yeah... just.. eh... Tired from school so far." I said. "But we just got back in school from Christmas break." She giggles. "Yeah.. Just... tired.. that's all." I said. As I was working on my work, the socializing kid as that's what I think of him since he likes to socialize and talk to other people asked, "How you doing Dan?" I didn't know how to respond the fact I could respond to the other person. "I'm doing fine, I just got a lot of work." I said to him even though, I had 2 assignments which I guess you could consider as a lot depending on how many questions there are.
   At Lunch, I used to sit with this other little group until I felt like I didn't belong after my Girlfriend broke up with me. So I sit by my self hoping for someone to sit with me, but today, I didn't want anyone. But to what I wished for, but on the wrong day, two friends I knew came over and sat across from me.
   I didn't want to be rude, so I pretended I was drawing so most of my time was spent looking down. I looked up at them with my left hand covering it as if I was tired as always. They forgot about me for a few minutes which was good until one of them asked me a question and when I looked up, I forgot to cover my eye.
