A Sun Lit Path

Chapter 23 "Clogged by Lemonade"

      The day was winding down. The sun is setting on this crazy day. Me, Ryan, and Terri all sat down on the couch watching TV while Simon is on the floor. Joey walks over to me and taps me on my shoulder signaling me to come to him. I get up from my spot on the couch and saw Simon leaped from his spot on the floor to the open spot I left on the couch. I walked over to the kitchen where Joey is, he whispers and says to me, 

"I don't know if you know this but...you died." 

"I what now?" I said confusingly while raising an eyebrow. 

"Look just here me out," Joey says in a loud whisper, "Back in Simon's Capri Sun vault when you were charging at Margret and tipped over a box of Capri Suns Margret shot you in the head." 

"But that's insane! I didn't felt the bullet go into my head. All I remember is that Margret said "So long bitch boy. This is where your justice ends." and my vision goes white. I was in a white room with Jess and she...she..." 

"But here's the thing," Joey says as he continues talking, "Margret shot you in the head and aimed her gun at me. I thought I was a goner until I saw Jess crawled over to your dead body. Which was weird since I thought she was in a coma but anyways, when Jess put her hand on to your head where the bullet was, a glowing light filled the entire area! And then Margret aimed the gun back your head but then you grabbed her and pinned her down! Then the Special Forces came yada yada." 

"I remember one thing, when Margret aimed her gun at me I said in my head, "I wish I can live!" and that's when I saw Jess in the white room and she gave me a white glowing marble thing."

      Me and Joey both look at each other trying to figure out this weird phenomenon. We both look each other again until I said, 

"You think Jess has some sort of special powers?" 

Joey goes silent for a moment, still thinking. "Maybe...I won't throw that theory out." 

"It's too late to think about this. I'm going to bed." I said while walking away from Joey.

"But Alex it's 8:30?" Joey says to me while I still walk away to go into my room. 

"Don't care. Goodnight." I said while closing my door. 

I took my shower, brushed my teeth, took my anxiety medication and went to bed. Can not wait for a normal day of school tomorrow. 

      When the sun creaked through my curtains I got out of bed. The morning announcements that wakes everyone up at 7am goes off to tell everyone that sports will be canceled today due to the snow or something like that. I go into my bathroom and splash my face with some water, however this water is different. I somehow get the aroma of lemonade. I deiced to use my cup that I have next to my sink and poured some bathroom faucet water into it and took a big swig of the water. I drank it and to my surprise it taste like lemonade! This is weird, although it looks like actual water and not the classic lemonade yellow color it still taste like lemonade. I brushed it off, put on some day clothes and walk out of my room to the lobby. There I see Ryan comically spit out his drink. 

"Did you taste the water from the faucet?" I asked Ryan. 

"Um yeah? Why?" Ryan asks me. 

"Because I tasted it before. It taste like lemonade doesn't it?" 

"Yeah it does! Are we apart of a prank? Where's the hidden cameras?" Ryan says has he frantically looks around the entire house. 

"You're not apart of a prank, Ryan." Simon says smugly as he walk to us in the kitchen. "I did this."
