The One and Only?!

"Connor, connnnnooooorrrrrrrr? Earth to Connor?" I heard in the background, my best friend Andy was calling me, but right now was not the time, there was a scent in this Macdonalds, a scent I've never smelled before, something different than everyone. Something like me..

-1 week earlier-

Monday

"Connor think fast!" Without even looking I caught the Gatorade that was being tossed at my head. "Nah, you gotta be a ninja or something" Rashawn said as I felt his gaze on me, I finally looked up from my phone and at Andy who threw the Gatorade at me, giving him the old double eyebrow raise. Then at Rashawn who still looked a little stunned. "Don't test me dumbass, and yes, I was trained by Mr. Chan himself" I said cheekily as I opened the bottle and started to drink from it. We were sitting at the park taking a break from playing soccer. Yep today was soccer day, we as a group of friends, like to play many sports and today was soccer. I took a couple of whiffs of the air, "It's gonna rain soon" I said to them, "let's get out of here and get something to eat". "The weather is supposed to be sunny all day, it's not gonna rain today" Collin said making his way over from the bathroom. "Nah bro trust me, I smell it" I said to him, I was met with a bunch of laughing voices and jokes, typical. I laughed with them while getting up and saying you'll see. Surely enough as we walked to my favorite Chinese place on 53rd and 8th (that's actually where it is) the clouds started coming, and I turned and looked at them then pointing up and at that moment it actually started to rain. "What can I say boys, I'm the goat" I said to them. But actually, I'm another animal. "Alright you got lucky like you always do" Andy said to me. "What can I do? I'm just a lucky man" I said cheekily, walking up to the counter so I can order my General Tso's chicken.
