PROLOUGE
My Name Is Hikaru and I was in trouble. Right about to be forced headfirst into the sludgy hell of the yeerk pool. I looked down to see the gray snails without a shell swimming back and forth in the vile liquid. Where were the others, I thought to myself. By now your thinking wtf? Who is this girl and whats she going on about. Right? Well all that will be revealed soon. But before I tell you any of that I have to tell you everything from the beginning every secret and every lie ,every friend and every enemy everything that happened. To start from the beginning...
CHAPTER 1
It
was a day at school like any other. Starting with computer class. I was
sitting in my seat listening to the teacher drone on like a broken
record. Man, she didnt know a thing about computers. It was some stupid
lesson about how to make videos. Borring! If only I could teach the
class. I sighed and layed my head on my desk. Oh well I needed the
sleep after being up for 3 nights straight. So what better time to do
it then the most easiest class in school? After sighing again I starded
to let my mind wander freely dozing off. Only to be woken back up by my
best friend poking me with the pencil. Man could she be such a pain in
the neck sometimes and such a teachers pet. Always answering this
question and sucking up to the teacher anytime she could. But she was
really good at class and homework and could help out alot. One of the
only reasons I let her hang around me. Its not like we had any real
friendship going on. She was just another bother. Oh well it was 5
minutes to the bell, guess I wouldnt be getting any sleep this class.
"briiiiiiing,briiiiiing,briiiiiiing"
Went the bell. Well class was over, I quickly picked up my stuff and
was eager to head out the door before anyone spotted me. "Hikaru Wait"
Mrs.K said from her seat. To late, I sighed again and walked over to
her. "Yes Mrs.K?" I asked knowing what was coming next. "Sleeping in
class again Hikaru, Another "F" This year you know? I know its boring
but try to pay attention" She said staring me down. Teachers always
tried to use this trick stare you down into following their orders. To
bad it never worked on me , oh well time to sweet talk the teacher.
"Its not that its boring mrs.k , Its just...that you uh...need better
film" Oh great now id done it...I could almost since what was coming
next. "Better Film, well that works but we have no where to get it.
Wait I have the perfect idea" Oh god here it comes I thought "Im
assigning you a homework assignment to film one thing exciting tonight
at home or out of the house. I expect it on my desk by the morning."
She Said. Bingo, damn I knew she'd assign homework. "But Mrs.K, I dont
have a videocamera." I saying a downright lie hoping my face didnt show
it. "Thats quite alright come by my office at the end of the day and
ill let your borrow one" Well there was no way getting out of this
assignment. "Ok fine I gotta go now ,next class before im late.Ill come
by later." I said running out the door to freedom. I had to make it
quick before I was late yet again.
A few hours later I was
completely brain dead and heading to the next class. Finally one more
class left then home and computer freedom. Unfortunatly It was a class
even worse then computers and math put together. 'PE' eck! I hated PE
more then anything in the world..Who wants to play sports when theres
the whole inside to explore? But the worst was that we were just
starting track. Running? Who wants to run in this heat of the day? At
least it was only for 45 minutes. I could last that long couldnt I?
Sighing for the millionth time today While walking up to the PE field
and hating myself at the same time. I saw a group of people. The first
four I reconized Jake,Rachel,Marco, and Cassie. But they were with 3
others I didnt reconize. Wait was that Tobias? I hadnt seen him around
school in ages. Guess he was back for a visit. But who were the other 2
guys and why where were they heading. They were walking off campus that
was obviouse but where? Quickly thinking I decided to follow them,
anything was better then track at PE with Mr.Simms. But who better to
ruin that thought then yet again my teachers pet of a best friend
coming up behind me. "Hikaru" She called "Where you going? Ive been
searching for you all day , were you evading me again?" She asked at
the verge of tears. Wow she got upset over the most stupidest things
"shhh" I said "Im ditching the last period of school cover for me
please?" I asked knowing that she wouldnt tell a sould on fear of being
ignored. "DITCHING SCHOOL?" she shouted "Shutup!" I said quickly
looking around making sure no one could hear us "Yes ditching school
keep it down , tell the teacher I went to the nurse or something just
cover for me please?" I asked pleading "But Hikaru? Ditching school
disrupts learning but if you have to ill make sure the teacher doesnt
find out" she said. Perfect I knew shed cover for me I had to hurry
before I couldnt see them anymore "Thanks Ill be sure to pay you back
later" I said walking away quickly. Just beyond that clearing of trees
I saw them heading. I quickly went off campus and went over there
hiding behind the bushes, but to my dismay no one was in sight. Wait
how could this be, they were just here? I thought. Looking around I
noticed a tree branch slightly off 3 inches like something was weighing
it down. Thats weird I thought...wonder whats wrong. I walked over to
the tree. This would be an easy climb. I put one hand on the tree and
felt vibrating. Huh? The trees vibrating? I really had to see what was
going on now. So carefully I put both hands on the tree and climbed up
to the brach and inched out on it. "Yeerks...meeting...alot of people"
I could actually hear people talking, but no one was in sight unless...
Not thinking I reached out and touched where the branch was off course
and saw my hand dissapear into the air. What the heck? Its some kind of
hologram. Heh. I wonder. I put my head in the hologram and could see
the whole group. There was Jake,Marco,Rachel, Cassie Tobias and another
kid. Then there was this some kind of metal robot looking dog thing
standing on two feet. Was this the other kid? He didnt seem to be
around anymore so who else could it be? I decided to listen picking
some of what they were saying "Prince Jake" the unknown kid said "I
dont like being in my human morph what if something happens?" he said
looking disgruntled. "Ok Ax your right better demorph then" the one
called jake said. "Thank you prince jake" said the boy. Then before my
eyes his body started melting his skin turning blue. "WOAH" this was to
much not noticing I had yelled out. "snaaaaaaaaaap" I heard the branch
I was on start breaking. "Uh-Oh, AHHHHHH!" I yelled falling right in
the middle of them. "A...A...ALIEN! BLUE ALIEN! I jumped up and started
yelling. "THERES A BLUE ALIEN OVER HERE" the other kids in the group
looking alarmed. I jumped up and ran , ran down the street scared to
death all the way home up the stairs and into my room locking the
door."Alien...what was an alien doing there..." I asked myself calming
down now that I was in the safeness of my house. "And what the heck are
yeerks..who was that robot..WHAT THE HELL IS GOIND ON!" I yelled
thankfully my grandma wasnt home at the moment. "I wonder if the
teachers know theres an alien at there school...I gotta tell the
teacher tomorrow..but no then theyll know I skipped school. Who do I
tell..THE PRINCIPAL he'll understand they gotta lock that thing up or
kill it."Who knows what else goes on at that school and yeerk what the
heck is a yeerk?" I asked myself. Only one way to find out. I went over
to my computer and went on google then typed up yeerk. Nothing not one
result. Was it a made up word was it all a dream a joke some guy in a
costume? But how could you fake your skin melting and turning into an
alien and the kids they didnt look to happy that I was there. Ok I
thought its all in your head you did not just see a blue alien you did
not juse see a kid turn into a blue alien. God I needed sleep now my
eyes were playing tricks on me. I would get sleep tonight and see that
everything in the morning was fine. Just get sleep I said to myself
dozing off. Just a good night sleep. I repeated one last time falling
fast asleep.
