I decided I want to try writing another EEnE story. However this one will play out a bit differently as you, the reader of this story, can make choices that will affect how the story will play out. But for now, enjoy the first chapter of this new story.

The sun was just beginning to rise on the cul-de-sac. It was the dawn of a bright, sunny Spring day. The sunlight began to shine through the window of a house and on to the face of a teenager that was wearing a nightcap and blue pajamas.

The boy began to stir and he sat up in his bed, rubbing his eyes. He got up and then began rushing to get dressed and brush his teeth. He stopped in his tracks and went back to pick up his high school ID.

The boy's name was Eddward, according to his ID. He had just finished getting ready and was about to go down to eat his breakfast but he stopped again. He couldn't seem to shake off the feeling that something didn't seem quite right. He went down to go get breakfast and was shocked to see his parents! Usually they would leave for work while their son was still asleep.

"Mother? Father? What are you doing here? I thought you would have already left for work." Edward asked.

"Oh, Eddward! You're up early! That's good to know, I assume you're ready for school. Anyway, to answer your question, your mother and I have been called by our boss, he has informed us that our office is closed today." Eddward's father answered. His mother had just finished making her son breakfast. The boy wasted no time in eating, though he was in no rush, he still had another half hour before school and the bus was due to arrive in about twenty minutes.

As Eddward ate, the other neighborhood teens and kids of the cul-de-sac began to also wake up. Particularly, a boy with auburn hair and a rather pronounced chin was groggily waking up. He got dressed and was brushing his teeth when he seemed to remember something.

'Oh crap! Today's the Algebra Final for Mrs. McMahon!' He remembered. He rushed downstairs to eat breakfast, studying from his algebra textbook as he ate.

"Woah! What's the big rush Kevin?" The boy's father asked.

"Sorry dad, I got this big exam today and I really can't afford to fail!" Kevin answered.

"Well stuffin' Your face like that while you study ain't gonna help. Just take it easy and take your time with the cramming alright. If you miss the buss your mom can give you a ride." Kevin's dad assured him. This seemed to calm Kevin down as he began to slow down a bit. His mom was watching the news while his dad left home for work. Kevin's attention was suddenly shifted to a breaking news bulletin.

"We interrupt this broadcast with some breaking news!" The anchorman announced. "A chemical plant off the coast of California has begun to melt down, causing several hazardous chemicals to pour into the sea. This has caused many species of fish and birds to become more ravenous with humans and attack them and any other living creature on sight. Humans and pets that have come into contact with these animals seem to be showing similar traits. The cities near the vicinity of the accident have been evacuated and quarantined from any surrounding cities. What you are about to see is live footage provide by reporter Jillian Hall on scene."

The footage cut to the city closest to the chemical plant, many birds, dogs, cats, and other people seemed to be attacking each other for no real reason.

"Oh my god it looks like the riots of '92 down there." Kevin's mom commented.

Kevin immediately had a strange feeling in his stomach, much like the one Eddward had. Something made him feel like he should stay at home today. He looked out the front window and saw some of his friends and classmates waiting to be picked up by the bus.

Two boys ran up to Eddward's house and started knocking on his door.

Back in Eddward's house, Eddward and his family heard the knocking.

"Oh, that must be Ed and Eddy. It appears that it's time for me to head to school." Eddward said.

"Best of luck to you on your exams dear, I know you will do exceptional on them!" Eddward's mom said, giving her son a farewell kiss on the cheek.

"Perform to the best of your ability Eddward!" His dad added. They were watching the same news report as Kevin's mom. They seem to recognize the chemicals that had been dumped into the ocean.

"Oh my, those chemicals appear to be extremely volatile!" Eddward's mom said in worry.

"They also cause an insurmountable effect on a person's physical attributes while causing their body to decompose much quicker. But with it being mixed with the other chemicals and sea water, there is no telling what the effects of it may be!" Edd's dad added.

As they discussed the situation, Eddward met up with his companions.

"Hey Double D." One of his friends said, greeting Eddward by his nickname. The boy was short, his hair was black and he wore a yellow shirt with a red stripe, blue jeans with a chain coming from one of his pockets and red sneakers. The boy sounded annoyed.

"Good morning Eddy! I assume your sour attitude is due to your lack of sleep and the fact that we have Mrs. McMahon's final exam today?" Double D guessed.

"Yeah well, how am I supposed to take that test when she doesn't even know how to teach! Even Lumpy is passing her class! At least she's hot..." Eddy growled.

"Well perhaps you would have learned in her class if you paid a bit more attention Eddy." Double D replied.

"Oh! I studied! I stayed up all night studying with Sarah, but she might need to study more, her only answer was 'Go to sleep you idiot'." Ed stated, Double D gave his dim-witted friend a smile while Eddy rolled his eyes. The three headed to the bus stop where the others, except for Kevin were waiting. Some of them were nervous about their exams while others took the time to study a bit more.

The tallest boy, who wore a yellow shirt with a red stripe similar to Eddy's, though it was horizontal instead of vertical like Eddy's, blue jeans and red/grey sneakers that were rather large, looked more depressed than anything. Eddy approached the boy and spoke to him.

"So Rolfy-boy, you ready for this final?" Eddy asked.

"Oh, good morrow Ed-boy. Rolf is just melancholic about our daily return to the educational system. Although, Rolf sees a glimmer of hope knowing that this time is almost completed and we shall once again partake in the merriment of the three months of the summer season!" Rolf replied, sounding more proud in his last statement.

"Whatever you say Stretch." Eddy replied. While the other kids were conversing with each other and studying, Kevin was still at home. He couldn't shake off the strange feeling he was having.

He looked to his mom and thought to himself.

'Should I do it? Should I ask her if I can stay home today? I'm not worried about the test but... today just doesn't feel right...'

It was at this moment that Kevin was left with a choice...

What should Kevin do?

Option A: Should Kevin fake being sick in order to stay home?

Option B: Should Kevin just go to school anyway?

The choice is yours to make...

Thanks for reading the first chapter and I hope you'll choose one of the options. If there's anything I can include in the next chapter feel free to let me know. You can include your choice within the reviews, whichever option has the most votes will be the chosen option and the choice that is made has the chance of drastically altering the story.

Until then, I hope you liked this chapter and the adventure that is to come...
