Part 1

Chapter 1

Alexis montgomery, a 17 year old highschooler was at the edge of his seat. His one earphone dangling from his right ear, unseen by the teacher. He was listening to an audio book. It by stephen king. He was clawing at his table in suspense.

The clown just bit someone when the ell rang making him cry out. "Alexis! I realise you're enthusiastic about the end of the day, but do refrain from aging my 10 years." The teacher said holding her hand over her heart.

"Sorry." He said looking down and pausing his book. He started packing his things. As the kids walked passed him ge heard several words that used to bother him but no longer even caused an eyelash to shiver.

He was the last to leave. He switched from the audiobook to a song that had a fast playing violin and a female rock vocalist singing.

Several people bumped into him on his way out the gate, their lips moved but he didn't hear what they were calling him. His world was now enveloped in music, untill his mother's car pulled up. A shiny red Renautl Clio IV. He smiled as he saw he eager face grinning at him through the slightly tinted windscreen.

He opened the door and got in. "Hey mom!" He greeted her enthusiastically. "Hey my boy! How was school?" She asked. "Oh it was alright, nothing new happened. What's go you smiling so radiantly?" He put his bag in the backseat.

"Oh you know... Just the fact that I got promoted today!" She said in a high pitched voice. "Oh my gosh mom! This is like totally fantastic!" He said hapilly. "Just think of ho better our lives will be now!"

"Yes! We'll have slightly more money than what we had last month!" She smiled enthusiastically.

They had decided on getting pizza's on their way home as a celebratory treat. Their house was in another town, 40 miles away.

He started listening to the audio book again. His mother was humming happily to herself.

When they got home alexis followed the routine that he had followed the past few weeks. Get home, get dressed, wash dishes, practice. He has gotten a very fine looking violin for his birthday and he was using every spare moment to practice.

Their house was only 4 rooms large. He smiled as his mother started making food. He finished playing twinkle twinkle little star. "Oh honey you're getting really good at that, its sounding less and less like a rat playing scratching a blackboard and more like a mouse scratching a blackboard." His mother commented smiling over her shoulder.

"Oh, ha ha, very funny mom, I'd like to see you try to play the violin." He started packing up.

"Oh no, I realise how difficult it is playing that thing, all I'm saying is that I think you're not putting all of yourself into it." She said cracking eggs on the pan.

"I put plenty of myself into it!" He defended himself.

She put a lid on the frying pan and turned to look at him. She has a mischevous glint in her eye.

"Tell you what, if you can play twinkle twinkle little star and mary had a little lamb by friday, ill buy you a new xbox game and we'll go see a movie." She turned to check on the food.

"Seriously?" Alexis asked enthusiastically.

She nodded, "but when I say you must be able to play it you have to be able to play it flawlessly and beautifully." He nodded vigorously.

He started unpacking again and immediatly set to work. His playing sounded much better.

"That's my boy." Esmee montgomery muttered to herself.

Later that night, after they had full tummies and dinner dishes had been washed, they were sipping coffee infront of their TV.

"And the government is saying that Active equality rights are turing violent in washington, residents are cautioned to stay away from..." The news lady had started naming a bunch of different streets.

"First gay marriage, now Active equality, this contry is not going to be in the good books of god..." An anti-Active protestant was saying to a reporter on the screen.

"Ass." Esmee muttered. Alexis giggled slightly. "All people are the same and I belive they should be treated equally." Another guy was saying.

"Oh look at the time. 11 pm. Time for bed." She announced. Something very small but still very stingy ran up her arm, traveling to her shoulder, then her neck and finally disspearing into her head.

"Hmm." She said inspecting her arm. "Any new species of viruses previously undiscovered by scientists?" Alexis asked eying his mother, a hint of concern in his voice.

"No, just an itch I guess." She said.

"Night my boy, love you." He replied with an identical sentence.
