I was sitting on a pale leatherette sofa in my family's living room watching TV on mute and listening to the radio. When some thing hit me. What ever it was it felt like I just ran straight in to a wall. The lights and colors around me began to blur and swirl. I felt I was dropping and at the same time being crushed underneath a huge weight. With the blood pounding in my ears I herd strange mutterings. I could not make out the words but they seemed to get more urgent as lay there on the floor. I must have fallen off the couch. Then slowly the pounding in my ears and the mutterings faded and the colors returned to were they were should be.
Wondering what just hit me I sat up and rubbed my head there was a major headache building behind my eyes. I got up and walked over to the kitchen. Then I opened a tightly shut box and took out two Tylenol. Swallowing them whole I turned to the stove top clock. The clock read five o'clock. My mother would not be home at least another couple hours. She had to work several jobs to provide for us since dad die in a car wreck. My little sister was at a friend's house for a sleep over. So I was the only one home for a while.
I was in my laying on my bed ready to go to sleep if only my dag blame head ache would go away or get a little worse. I had trained my self to go to sleep to escape pain. I had made my self a peanut butter and honey sandwich [can't stand jam, jelly, of fruit preserves]. The I felt it again. The same shock wave that hit me before only stronger. I felt sure that if I was sitting up I would have been knock over but since I was already laying down I just let it wash over me. This one was different some how from the last one yet they were the same. As wave after wave of this shock wave washed over me it felt like a broken shower hot the cold. Then it ended. Just like that it was over and I was lying on my bed again and then with a throb my head ache reminded me that it was there and it pulsed. After about a minute I could feel my self slipping. I could have stayed awake but why would I have wanted to when I was awake I was in pain but here I was in a happy bliss.
When I woke up the next morning I leaped out of bed and started getting ready for the day witch was strange since I was not a morning person it normally took me a couple hours to get this wide awake. Not only was I wide awake but I was practically buzzing with energy. Not like I was having a sugar rush but like adrenaline with every thing in sharp focus. After showering and getting dressed I had a bowl of cereal and noticed a dozen small chips in my bowl that I had never seen before. After finishing I wash my bowl and set it to dry since we didn't have a dish washer. Then I remembered I still had some homework I needed to turn in. I sat down and pulled out my assignments. I was okay in school I just had a hard time focusing long enough to do what ever I was asked to do. But today I zipped threw my assignments in less then a fifth of the time it would have normally taken me. Looking at the stove top clock I saw it was time to start walking to school it was a good ten minutes away. I grabbed my back pack and started walking.
I stopped in front of my school. It was still the start of the school year and I just moved here and I was a freshman so I knew a total five people in school who are not teachers. I waited for a group of other students to walk in. then I saw two people walking towards me. A girl with shiny black hair and a guy who looked to be a senior with short dark hair the two standing side beside each other made the differences between them stand out. The girl looked like trouble with torn blue jeans and a purple shirt with a black decal that looked vaguely familiar. The guy looked like nerd but at the same time he looked like he could beat me up but would be afraid of the loss of his nice guy reputation. They were getting closer I ducked my head and pretended to be waiting for some one. They were now close enough to hear what they were talking about. "It was so funny. You just kept eating after I added salt to your cereal." The girl said almost laughing. "Sure Alex you really got me. To bad I did not notice it." The boy replied. I wondered how he could not have tasted the salt in his cereal. Now they were at the door. I started to follow them in. I was glad that they were there to distract the every one else in the hall as I rushed to my first class.
It was lunch. I was in line in the cafeteria. After I got my food I moved out of the way. And looked around the room most of the tables were empty but one looked less full then the others so I headed that way. When I got there I kept my eyes down as I sat next to a girl with red hair and a dress made out of cheese slices. I stared for a moment then I looked down and started eating. "Hey I saw you earlier." Alex said. I looked up to see who was talking to me. It saw the same dark haired girl from earlier. I wanted to hide so badly I would have given almost any thing to turn invisible. "Yes I saw you to." I said in as small a voice as I could then I way hit by another shock wave and all the colors he saw swirled and his head started to pound. A small voice in his ear started muttering gibberish. My arms and legs started to burn and seize then I noticed that Alex's color was not pulled a way. Her face stood out like an island in a sea of swirling colors and instability. I managed to look around threw the pain in my head and saw there were two other faces that stood out. The boy I saw earlier and another boy a lost look on his face and light brown hair. Then I saw some thing else and the world went dark.
