Disclaimer:
Me: *runs into a Chevrolet dealer towards the Camaros* OMG look at all these beautiful Camaros! I love them! *sees a dealer* Excuse me sir, can I test drive one of these?
Random dealer: *looks at me for a minute* Aren't you a little young? I bet you don't even have your licence.
Me: *edges towards a black and yellow Camaro* hehe... um.. no... *jumps in Camaro* Haha! Drive, Bee, drive!
Random dealer: Hey! Get out of there! You're coming with me. *pulls me out of car*
Me: No! Bumblebee, save me!
Random dealer: Its a car, it wont save you. And why do you keep calling it that?
Me: *serious face* That, sir, is classified information under S7 protocol.
Random dealer: What?
Me: Never mind. I don't own Transformers, only my OCs. :)
I take a bite of my bagel. It is 6:30am and honestly, I can't think straight. Five years ago something happened to me in Mission City and I don't remember any of it. When I ask my friends what happened they always say the same things; four meteors landing in the Mission City area and the U.S military going to the city due to a terrorist attack. But being unable to remember those few days of my life leaves me feeling empty.
I sigh and scroll down on my profile on Facebook. I should be using the laptop instead of my phone, but I was too lazy to turn the computer on. Glancing up at the clock, I quickly finish off my breakfast, throw on my backpack, and pull my brown hair out from under my backpack's straps. 7:01am. Bolting out of the house I run down the driveway towards my awaiting bus, feeling the damp spring air across my face.
I jump onto the bus, say hello to the driver, and sit in my usual seat. The bus starts down the road while I put in my headphones and look out the window. The sun is just above the tree line, giving off a bright orange light which lights up the sky. Listening to 'ready aim fire' by Imagine Dragons, I fall asleep.
School Cafeteria
I plop down at a picnic table with my poutine. Through out the whole cafeteria, this is the only table left. Kids fill all of the others. Some tables are over crowded, while others only have two or three students sitting at them. Some are chatting, eating, doing homework, or just watching videos on their laptops. The table I'm at is empty, other than me. A good thing too because my friends and I sit here all the time and its weird when we sit someplace else.
Over the crowd of students I hear "Why are you running? Stop running! You know I don't 'do' running!" I can't help but smile as my three best friends come into view. Yes, I have three. I can't decide who is my very best friend because they are all too awesome.
First Kristy comes to the table. She has her curly red hair up in a pony tail and is wearing her usual jeans and green sweater, Aeropostal of course. She sits down in front of me. Then Tasha, wearing her long dirty blond hair down, nearly touching her butt. She is wearing skinny jeans and a lose white sweater. She jumps down beside me. And finally, Alex, the one who doesn't 'do' running. She has her short black hair with blond streaks down at her shoulders, and is wearing baggy jeans and a baggy black sweater, lazily shuffling herself over to the table, she plops down beside Kristy and across from Tasha.
I can't help but laugh at Alex. "What did they do this time?' I ask.
She looks at me, "Oh, Tasha decided to freak out because the Woman In Black is 'chasing her'. So she started running down the hall! And just to bug me, Kristy started running too!"
Tasha and Kristy start laughing, "I seen a shadow in the bathroom!" Tasha says defensively, but is unable to stop laughing. "It was scary! I was alone and there were noises-"
"But that doesn't mean you had to run down the hall like a crazy woman!"
""Ok time to change the subject..." I yell, "Guys!" My two friends quit bickering and look at me.
"Yes, my lord?" Alex says, quoting from Black Butler, an anime that only her and I watch. We could talk about it for hours a time if Tasha and Kristy didn't always make side comments. It is still quite amusing.
I look at my three friends, " So nothing more happened in Mission City other than a meteor shower and a terrorist attack?"
Kristy then speaks up, "Carmen, if we knew more about our trip then we would tell you, but we don't. Besides, it was five years ago, we were only 10 years old. I barely remember our trip now."
I sigh. "Yeah. I guess you're right, but I just need to know what happened in those three days. We were there for a week for a school trip and I know that something... something important happened and I don't remember what! I woke up three weeks after our trip in a hospital back here in Canada..." tears start to sting my eye out of frustration. "and all that happened was a terrorist attack!? I know that something more happened in Mission City and I need to find out."
My friends look at one another while I wipe my eyes. There is no need for me to be crying, but that's just what I do when I get frustrated. My friends then turn to me, "We'll help you." Kristy says. "We don't know what it's like to lose our memory and we know its hard on you." She smiles causing me to smile. "We will help you get your memory back." Tasha and Alex quickly agree.
Tears sting my eyes again, but this time they are tears of joy. "Thanks guys!" I say. I have never felt so happy. My friends want to help me find that missing piece of my life, even if it is only three days that I'm missing. Just now do I remember my poutine. Looking down at the empty dish that was supposed to be my lunch, I notice that Tasha has a little smirk on her face. "Hey! You ate my poutine!"
Tasha can't hold in her laugh, "It wasn't me!"
"You have gravy on your shirt..."
She looks at her white sweater, "I... what!? No! Alex flung a fry at me!" Alex then throws another fry at Tasha. "See!?" Tasha grabs the fry out of her hair and throws it back. I laugh, my friends never fail to amuse me, even if it the littlest things.
Back at home
I lay sprawled out on the living room couch with my rabbit, Coal, who is currently enjoying himself. He runs back and forth along the couch like a little black ninja! One moment he is sitting on my head and the next he is at my feet washing his face. He hops up onto my stomach. I pet his head which causes fur to float from his body into the air. "Why do you have to shed so much?" I laugh. Coal jumps onto the back of the couch and lays down.
Still smiling, I get up and step out onto the front porch to brush off the black fur that sticks to my cloths. It drifts in the slight breeze out to the road. It is about 4:30pm. My parents are at work, so is my brother. My sister should be arriving home from school soon. The sound of an engine catches my attention. A giant yellow school bus pulls into view and stops at the end of my driveway. Its doors open and a 12 year old girl jumps out and jogs up the driveway, her long dirty blond hair flying into her face. She smiles as she runs towards me. "CARMEN!" she yells.
I smile and yell back, "WHAAAT!?"
Brittney jumps onto the deck and shoves three red ribbons in my face. "Look what I got in track today!" My little sister pulls the three 1st place ribbons away from my face so I can actually see them. She starts to excitedly explain each one, " This one is for long jump," she holds up the second ribbon, "this one is for 400m," and holding up the last ribbon, "and this one is for 200m!"
"That's great Britt!" I am so proud of my little sister. I can't run long distances, I am only good at 100m, and long jump. I used to be able to do high jump but after not competing in it for a while I forgot what not to do. Last time I tried it I landed right on the pole. My back was bruised for a whole week...
Brittney runs into the house and tosses her backpack onto the couch. I follow only to find her face-to-face with the black lop-eared on the couch. A staring contest. "Brittney," I say, "you're not gonna-"
"Shh!" she cuts me off, clearly determined to win the stare-down. Too bad she is the only one actually competing. Coal then lets out a big yawn, showing off his two large rabbit teeth, only a few centimetres away from Britt's nose. My sister jumps back and falls off of the couch.
"That's right, he is a fierce little bunny!" Smiling, I cross the room and pick up Coal, sit down on the couch, and place him on my lap. I start to pet him like how Dr. Evil pets his cat. "I see I have trained this bunny well." I say with a smirk on my face. I then remove Coal from my lap and carry him to his cage which is only a few feet away. Its big and pink and contains his food dish, water, his litter box, and a small cardboard box for him to hide in. I kneel down and Coal jumps out of my arms into his cadge, leaving some of his fur floating in the air.
Getting up, I feel the urge to turn around. I do, but only to come face-to-face with a big green pillow. Before it reaches my face, I shoot my hand up, catch the pillow, spin a full 360 degrees, and throw the pillow back at my attacker. Brittney falls back into the couch with the pillow held at her chest. Before she can recover I run off into the kitchen to hide.
My room
My parents are downstairs watching T.V while my brother, James, is in the basement playing Grand Theft Auto. Brittney is in her room playing on her ipod and I am upstairs in my room watching Iron Man. It is one of my favorite movies.
When the movie is almost over I check the time. 10:30pm. It is getting late, or for me anyway. I like my sleep. I shut off my T.V and slip into my purple and black fuzzy . Walking over to the big window in my room, I take off my socks. Once at the window I remove the screen and lift up the glass. I then step out onto the roof. Slowly walking along the steep slope, I am soon standing on top of the garage. I lay back onto the cool shingles and stare up at the night sky. Not a single cloud covers the sky revealing the bright moon and millions of twinkling stars.
Ever since I had astronomy in science last year I have been interested in space. The stars are beautiful and I love looking for consolations. The thought of us being so small compared to our galaxy amazes me. But even our galaxy is small compared to all of space! And with there being so much unexplored space, I know for a fact that there is more life out there. I know that we can't be alone. We are here, so why can't another species?
Well that's chapter 1! I didn't really know how to end this chapter... sorry if it is so short. more interesting stuff is going to happen in the next chapter though. So please review! I would love to hear if you guys like this story so far and if I should keep going. :) Like I said before, this is my first fan fiction. I may be slow at updating due to school work so don't expect to get a new chapter every week, but I will try my best!
