you are all going to kill me, yes i know this may be over used but i did it anyway.
disclaimer: i still do not own FMA or any of the characters from there, and most of the OC's are actually real people i know i have changed the names of all but myself and in some cases the actions are exaggerated but they are not mine really either, i do own myself though and the idea was my own.
"So then he like, and then she was all like, and …."
"If you don't shut up I swear I will shove that cell phone down your throat!" I growled finally reaching the point where trying to keep my temper in is like trying to stop a nuclear fallout with a tissue.
"Rude much…" the girl huffed then glared at me with all the ferocity of a feather, I in turn gave her a look that could have inspired all the blood and guts horror films ever. That effectively shut her and most of the bus up.
"That's a bit much don't ya think Alex?" my friend Matt said after I turned around to face forward again.
"Cell phones and teens, god I hate my life!" I groaned to him
"Alex you are a teen" Matt sighed
"Not a normal one, I hate the phone and I hate cheerleaders, and I hate…"
"Yeah, yeah you hate everything, I know" Matt groaned as I went off on what he calls the Alex-hates-just-about-everything-and-everyone speech.
"Not everything, most things" I corrected as he rolled his eyes "I only wish that this wasn't the most exciting thin to happen since the toaster oven in the art room caught fire five months ago." I groaned "why is life so god damn boring!" I wailed
"The only kind of life you'd find fun would be like a cartoon" Matt smirked as I thought about it.
"Hmmmm… that would be fun, if only I wasn't stuck in this hell hole of a reality!" I mused out loud
"Your crazy" Matt said but I over looked it for two reasons one; I probably was, and two; I had to get off the bus.
I got home and threw my bag off then got online, and then I had dinner and showered after that. Then to top off my exciting day I had to stay up till midnight just to finish all the homework I had.
As I finished repacking my bag I glanced out the window and saw a shooting star 'this is stupid, it's just a superstition' I thought as I found myself wishing on the star. After it was out of sight I yawned flopping into bed asleep before the springs stopped squeaking.
"Brother, are you feeling all right?" Al asked his spaced out brother.
"Hum?" Ed said coming out of his trance "yeah Al I'm fine"
"Well it's just not like you to space out so much" Al said
"Yeah, well I just can't seem to concentrate right now" Ed replied "I'm probably just tired"
"Is there something on your mind?" Al asked knowing there was something Ed wasn't saying and hoping his brother would tell him.
"No, not really" Ed replied offhandedly "like I said, it's probably just that I'm sleepy."
Al didn't ask any more questions knowing that Ed would tell him if and when he was ready. Ed for his part always got like this around this time of year, though this year it was worse that the others.
When they got to the dorm Ed kicked off his shoes but otherwise sill fully clothed flopped on his bed face down in the pillow. He tried to get to sleep but the thoughts that had been plaguing him all day came again 'what if' was the question his mind seemed stuck on. Thinking about all the 'what ifs' that could have dramatically altered his life.
The other big thought was that he found himself desperately wishing for a normal teen life, not being a state alchemist or anything like that, with normal limbs too. Sometime around midnight he rolled over and happened to see a streak of light shoot across the sky.
"They say that if you wish on a shooting star that wish will come true" the echo of his mother's voice reawakened by memory filled his mind as he found himself making the wish on the star. Shortly after he snorted softly to himself at the childishness of the action but his eyelids slowly closed and he was asleep"
You all can guess what will happen next. any way i actually have CH 2 planed out but i want to know if anyone will actually read it. also i know vaguely how i want it to go but any ideas will be appreciated and if i use them i will give proper credit, and any constructive criticisms to help me make this better. see you next chapter i hope!
