99 DAYS I lay in my bed waiting for my alarm to go off before I did anything knowing it would just annoy my parents and brother, I was thinking I would turn it off as soon as it went off. Eventually it did and i flicked it off and headed for the bathroom to shower waking up before my alarm had always been a thing that happened to me. After showering I got dressed and headed out before anyone else in the house was awake. I couldn't be bothered with the bike so I walked. Around halfway there I noticed someone I hadden't seen before must be a new arrival. When I got to Phoenix high I saw the new kid standing talking to Stapels the vice principal or deputy head as she said. I decided to walk oast hoping she wouldn't notice and ask me to give this guy a "tour" of the school but as soon as I passed I heard "oh, Brandon come here a moment please."
trying to be casual I replied "sure, what is it miss?" At this point I'd already heard the exact words in my head, "This is Luke Hunter will you mind showing him around?" already having my reply set out I said, "Sure miss no problem." she replied with a simple, "thank you" I then gestured at Luke to follow, I then saw Peter Weir Sprinting across the quad instintivly I yelled, "HEY WEIR! SHOW THIS GUY AROUND!"
"why should I?" already planning what to say I said,"Staples told me to bring him to you so you could show Luke here around the place." Luke had a puzzled look on his face then realised what I was doing and walked up to Peter, he looked like the kind of talkitive type but was completely silent. But as soon as he got to Peter a conversation started probably talking about where they were going to go. I headed to the lockers and grabbed my books.
When I arrived I took a seat and Luke and Peter were around 2 minutes behind me. I decided to take out some unfinished homework and get started on finishing it, just as I thought almost exactly 2 minutes later Luke and Peter came in," So, how was the tour?" I said purposly sounding like an asshole I have no clue why I did it but I guess it's just a habit I picked up Luke sat beside Peter, at this point I'm almost positive he was obsessed with being near Jordan.
I mean it almost every time he get the chance he'll be sitting infront or behind of Jordan. I heard Peter say "she's kinda in love with me, kinda embarrassing really." I had to fight my self not to laugh at how moronic Peter was when it came to Jordan because so far what I'd gathered was Jordan has literaly no interest in his existance. Suddenly I saw Jordan pick up an eraser and take chuck it at the back of Peters head, "OW!" Peter whined holding the back of his head.
"Are you really THAT much of a wimp Peter?"
"No it's just that actually hurt."
"I donno why but I highly doubt that" Peter just scowled and turned around. I'd been here since early March which gave me plenty of time to get to know Peters personality pretty well. Just as I was about to get back to my homework Mr. Larson walked in carrying a box, he set it on his desk and started handing out its contents, a book called "the shape of things to come". Didn't sound like my kind of book Mr Larson continued explaining that this was our new class novel.
eventually he in reply to Tank (the school's very own idiotic wall of muscle) complaining about the time we had to read the whole book said,"but that's about as likely as Peter getting that haircut he so desperatly needs, I'll give you a start by showing you part of the movie adaption." The class cheered but soon realising that it was black and white and probably had $20 for a budget I mean sure it's an old movie but it was the worst old movie I'd seen.
I decided to ignore that peace of shite movie and sat daydreaming for the rest of class. The rest of the day played out just as it normally does nothing to really mention there but when I went home as usual nobody was home well my little brother would be home but he was over at his friends. I walked up the stairs and opened the door to my room and seen a yellow envelope on my pillow and my bed was made I thought nothing of it and went over picking up the envelope.
I noticed a little lump in the envelope, when I opened the envelope a small memory pen fell out I flipped it over in my hands and saw somebody's initials L.H Luke Hunter was the first name to pop into my mind, I walked over to my laptop leaving the laptop i was given when I first got here I wasn't just going to leave a laptop worth 2k in an abandoned home so i brought it with me to Phoenix it was a bloody good idea to cause the the Phoenix laptop was a piece of shite.
So I sat in my desk chair and plugged the memory pen into the USB slot in the side of the laptop. A second later a file popped up "intSC1002B_ " weird the only file on this thing was a document on my name on the front. I opened the file and saw a bunch of seemingly random letters but it looked a bit like codeing, I'm really gonna need to look into this.
98 DAYS I woke up to the sound of my alarm I got up and went to go have a shower and get dressed. When I went back into my room to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything then notcied I didn't take out the memory pen, so I went over and yanked it out of my laptop taking a couple of seconds to think I decided to bring my real laptop with me instead of the hunk of junk I was given on my first day.
What's the harm anyway i have all the files and documents I'd made in school on it. It was only 7am but I thought I might as well get out early might catch Luke before he even gets to school. So I looked him up on the town directory and found he lived on 43 Acacia Way so I headed there and waited at the end of the road waiting for his parents to leave or for him to leave, I noticed that there were only 2 bikes his parents must have gotten divorced so I waited and about an hour later I saw who must've been his mom leave, time to go.
I waited till his mom was clear and went to his front gate and sat resting my back against the picket fence. A few minutes later I heard his door open I stuck my hand in my pocket and pulled out the memory pen then stood and said," Well hi there buddy any idea of what this is and threw the memory pen at he. He fumbled to catch and looked at me,"Well come on Luke let's walk and talk" I said "umm OK"
"right so do you know anything about the memory pen?"
"no sorry, but I did get a one like it but Peter thinks the files currupt"
"can't blame him it does seem currupt but it looks a bit like codeing and I have a slight hunch the SC either stands for sound clip or Shackelton Cooperative, the guys who built this place"
"maybe, it's Brandon right?" I nodded "OK Brandon why didn't you wait till I was at school to talk about this?"
"We could speak about this a bit more this way and hey does your one have initials on it?"
"yeah J.B Peter thinks its Jordan Burke from school"
"Well then let's start there c'mon here place is this way."
"how do you know that and why are we to her house?"
"I walk past her house everyday and seen her come out of it when she's heading to school, and if we go to her house we can get more time to talk."
"Good idea but you do realise we will probably look like stalkers waiting out the front of her house." "we wait at the bottom of her lane then."
"OK"
so we went to her lane and waited there for 5 minutes. We just sat talking about Phoenix, the memory pens and how weird it was that the shackleton cooperative thought it would be a good idea to build a corporate town literaly in the middle of nowhere. When Jordan left her house we moved back a bit so she couldn't see us waiting there when she reached the end of her lane I whistled and she turned to look behind her when she did I said, "hi."
unexpectidly she turned and grabbed my shirt and stared right into my eyes," do you mind letting go? we'd like to talk to you about this little memory pen incedent."
"OH YOU MEAN THE ONE YOU CARVED YOUR INITIALS INTO, SNUCK INTO MY HOUSE AND LEFT ON MY BED"
"well shit... guess we haven't found the cuplret."
"I'm sorry what?"
then Luke decided now would be a good time to pitch in,"So all three of us got a memory pen that are probably either currupted or coded." Jordan then released me and I pulled the pen out of my pocket ,"TADA" she took a minute to look at the memory pen then handed it back to me looking more confused than ever ,"sorry about that." she said then Luke pulled out his and handed it to her ,"what the hell?" she mumbled to her self.
we made our way to school talking about all of the weird things that had already happened personally I thought this was a bit more than a really weird stalker I had a feeling things were only gonna get worse from here.
SOOOOO? do you guys like the idea of adding a new character to the Phoenix files? OH and by the way this will go through EVERY SINGLE PHOENIX FILES BOOK and continue to a kind of afterstory thing where it shows what happened after all of this but trust me it's not going to get dull as i am currently brainstorming ideas for what will happen anyway heres a solid description of Brandon Caldwell (The new Character) he's of normal height slightly taller than Jordan and Luke but not as tall as Peter. He has blue eyes, brown hair with small barley noticable traces of a dark ginger, around average build, very agile, computer geek, will get violent if he needs to, has anger issues, hard to predict what he is going to say, heavy hitter although not mucular his fallout power is teleportation it first shows at the end of the second book.
kinda short hair likes to wear:loose jeans t-shirts as well as zip up hoodies and he tends to wear red and white sneakers which are kinda like trainers but with the classic sneaker pattern. In short, a very unpredictable,odd yet trustworthy character. One final thing he kind of gets into a relationship with Jordan (sorry for you guys who love Luke and Jordan as a couple i'll try to make brandon and jordan be just as good together as Luke and Jordan) OH OH OH theres a bit that you may like that comes along in fallout and don't worry I'm making sure this keeps to the story as best i can while changing it at the same time.
this is going to be a VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY long fan-fiction so I would love some tips from my fellow phoenix file fan fiction writers the page for phoenix files fan fics has been a ghost town for way to long let's do this!(note this will take a good few months maybe even a year although i doubt it but I'll try and update as much as I can but each chapter is going to be very long about double the length of this one bye!)
