Unknown Hybrid

A confusing day in school and the beginning of my Journey

I'm walking through the halls of my high school. We still have 20 minutes till class starts, but I get anxious when I'm late so I hurry over to my advanced geometry class early. I've never been a big fan of math, in fact I hate it. But my friends think it's funny how I hate math. Last year I was so ahead of the class the teacher recommended I join advanced, I said no of course but I was eventually peer pressured into doing it so here I am. I'm finally at my class the door isn't open yet so I just drop my backpack on the floor and sit by the door. I can't get what happened this morning out of my head. The more I think about it the more worried I become. Suddenly all the lights flicker. I take a deep breath and try to focus on something else, when I'm suddenly tackle hugged from the side I look over to see the familiar face of my best friend, Nevaeh, her head full of curly red hair tickling my face as she hugs me giggling. "Mornin, Alice!" She says happily. "Good morning, Nev now please get off your tickling me." I say trying hard not to laugh. I look around and everyone is lining up outside the classroom which means class is about to- just then the door open and students start to walk in. I grab my stuff carful not get stepped on and walk in sitting in my assigned seat bending down to grab my journal and pencil when the note falls out of my pocket and onto the floor. I reach for it when Dustin, the class clown, gets to it before me. "Give it back!!" I say getting up to get it from him. He then holds it above his head reading it, "ooooh spooky whose it for?" He says still holding it above his head knowing very well that I can't reach it. Darn my short legs!!! "No one, it's non of your business!!" I say as I jump for it still unable to reach it. Just then the teacher calls us out "hey stop that and get to your seats" I feel heat rise in my cheeks I'm so embarrassed the reach one final time for the note. He still holds it above his head and laughs a little "maybe if you give me a little kiss I'll give it to you" he says. "I would rather die then ever kiss you!" I hiss. The teacher walks up to us now and takes the note from him and told us to sit down with a stern expression. I glare at him then sit back in my chair.

After class I walked up to the teacher's desk and asked him if I could have the note back. He just gave me this concerned face. "What note are you talking about?" "The one you took from me earlier," I say becoming a little tense. "I have no idea what your talking about, but you better head to your next class before your late, ms. Spence." I sigh and head to my next class 'this is going to be a long day' I think to myself.

It's finally the end of the day and I'm really confused usually by now all of Toms friends have finished school and would have walked over from the elementary school next do asking if I'd seen him yet, but no one was here. So I walked over to the school seeing children playing on the playground behind the school I quickly spot one of Toms friends and walk over to him, "hey Ron, have you seen Tom anywhere?" I ask nervously. "Whose Tom? And who are you?" Said Ron backing away from me slowly. "Toms your friend..you don't remember him you don't remember me?" I say awkwardly. "No" he says before running away. 'That's it I'm finding out exactly what's going on.' I say in my head.

After asking anyone and everyone I knew and even speaking to the police, their was no evidence that Tom ever existed. I was confused and angry about this. I finally get home to find my parents sitting at the table having finished grace dinner already made. I hadn't realized how late it had gotten till now. I walked up to the table noticing only three plates were set out. "Where have you been?" My mother asked she looked a little mad and worried. "I was out looking for Tom" I simply say. "We said this over the phone earlier there's nobody around here named Tom so stop looking for him!" My father said. And that when I just couldn't do it anymore I abruptly stood up and hit my hands down on the table gaining both their attention, "TOM IS YOUR SON MY LITTLE BROTHER HE'S 6 YEARS OLD!!" I scream at them. "AND WHO DO YOU THINK YOUR TALKING TOO!!" My mother yelled at me standing up. "YOU-" I get cut off by my father slapping me across the face. "Don't you ever talk to your mother like that." He growled. "You aren't even my real parents" I mutter as I leave the table and start to head upstairs to my room. As I walk up the stairs I hear my father say, "I don't know why we even adopted her." Tears begin to fall from my eyes as I get to my room it hurt to hear them say that 'no stop crying you have someone to find' I think wiping away my tears and emptying my backpack. That night I didn't leave my room once I packed an extra set of clothes, a journal, some pencils along with a pencil sharpener, my phone with a portable charger, 50 dollars from my wallet that I had been saving for a new guitar with, I was about to see if they had gone to bed yet when I heard a knock on my door I sprint over to my bed sliding my bag under it and jumping onto it as my mother comes in holding two cups of hot chocolate...my favorite..."hi" she said to me. "Hi" say back. She puts one of the cups on the nightstand next to my bed sitting next to me. "I know your probably mad at me but look at me" she says in a calming tone. I don't want to but then she adds, "please" and I can't help it I look her in the eye and say, "what." "I'm sorry we don't know everybody in your life...although sometimes with think we'd like to." "You really don't remember?" I ask sadly. "That Tom person?....no I don't think I've ever met him. But he seems important to you..so sorry for freaking out on you we're just worried." "Ok" my mom put her hand on my leg and hugs me I refuse to hug back she pulls away after a minute looking a bit sad then walks to the door stopping as she gets to putting her hand on the frame saying, "goodnight sweetheart" and leaves. I climbed off my bed grab my bag from under the bed and sit back down. I look at the mug then sigh and take a sip of it...made with milk with whipped cream and small marshmallows on top just the way I like it 'I'm going to miss this' I think to my self standing back up again and heading down to the kitchen quietly trying now to wake my parents. I grab a few snacks and a few bottles of water and a refillable water bottle. Then silently left my home locking the front door behind my.

'I will find you brother'
