Hermes' mission of messages
Chapter 1- A normal day
Jake
The bell rang at WernerVille High School, Springfield, Illinois. Louise and George stepped out of their classroom. Lucy and Jake walked out of their class, which was opposite Louise's and George's. Louise started a conversation between them.
"Hey guys! Morning! Another typical Monday morning!" she said, sounding a bit like she was complaining.
"What date is it today?" Jake asked. He never felt very energetic on Mondays.
"Um… Jake… you have to know!" Lucy snapped. "Uh, today is May 7th. Were you half asleep, SleepyHead?" She knocked on his head, as if she literally wanted to say "YO! JACOB! WAKE UP! OR ELSE I'M GONNA TAKE YOU TO THE HEADTEACHER. YOU KNOW I HAVE THE GUTS TO DO THAT!"
"What?" Jake moaned sleepily "Not my fault if my brain just wanna stay closed on Monday!"
Lucy wanted to reply back but George finally said, "Guys! Stop! We have Math in the next few minutes and didn't even bothered to open our lockers!" He left the group, heading towards his locker. The others followed him.
Jake, George and Louise headed to a line of lockers on the left. Lucy walked over to the right. George opened his locker. It looked neat. Actually surprisingly neat. Usually if anyone promises that they would keep their locker clean, after a few weeks or even a few days, it would end up looking like a dumpster. But George kept it clean, maybe because he is kind of like an Obsessive Compulsive. He always clean it, no matter how much time there is left before his first class starts.
Jake is the complete opposite of George. His locker definitely looked like a dumster. Books thrown everywhere, landing in different directions. His books were kept in a very bad quality. Most of his books were torn and scribbled on. Pencils were snapped into half . And it even smelled like a dumpster. Jake just throws his gym clothes in his locker, and perhaps never bothered to take it out for a wash. Louise and George always had to hold their noses, trying not to breath in the odour.
Jake glanced over Louise. He thinks of Louise as a friend, or course, but a small part of him still has a secret crush on Louise. Jake never like the 'Girlie' girl type. He like girls who were a little on the 'Boyish' side, someone who he can play sports with and talk about boy stuff. Louise was that type of girl. He almost told her that he liked her when he was 7, but he thought it would sound very awkward, especially as he was still 7. Now he's 15, he still thinks he would embarrass himself.
Louise's locker is plain normal, a typical girl's locker. She has pictures of One Direction, her favourite band. She also has a box of extra school supplies. Her books were neatly organized by subject. Her gym clothes were hanging on the side of her locker. She even sneaked in her headphones and IPod in her locker, though she almost got it suspended by the Headteacher a week ago.
Lucy's locker is very similar to Louise's locker too but it is a little more girlified. It smells like her favourite flowery perfume and also has her own miniature jewelry box in her locker, along with a mirror. Lucy checked her face before taking out her math books. Jake could hear her muttering to herself "You look great today, Lucy! Now a little dash of lip gloss" she applies a coat of lip gloss on her lips "And off we go to Math class." She slammed her locker.
As four of them walked along the corridor, they passed by the janitor's closet. The four of them never usually mind that room, but they could see some kind of a flashing light glaring through the door. They all exchanged anxious and confused looks and went closer to the door. Jake's hands were sweating. He asked "What do you think might be at the back of this door?"
"I don't know but I wanna know" George said.
"C'mon! let's open this door together! " Louise ordered. "Let's put our hands on the knob" They all positioned their hands on the door knob. "Let's open it on the count of three. 1,2,3…"
