Chapter 1
The First of 3 Days
7:00, the usual time to always get my lazy ass out of bed. Although it does still feel too early to get up, I can't argue with that noise after the alarm from my clock. "Ron, get up now! You'll be late for school, and don't forget your cell phone!" yelled my mother. "Okay mother." That was my usual reply. Yep, that's the annoying sound; the usual wake up call from my mother, Nancy. Her and my 11 year old sister, Julia, both feel that 7:00 is too late to be getting up since school doesn't start till like 8:10 and its only like a 30 min walk. But, might as well get the day started.
My name is Ron Xterm, I'm only 17 and am extremely bored everyday; mainly because I go through the same thing every single day. I've lived in the outskirts of Boston for 17 years. Living with my mother and sister; life takes a turn for the worst, having to hear them bicker to me about everything. Come to think of it though, this town really doesn't produce that much noise and is actually quite quiet; not that bad for a small area in a large place. However, that old library up the street kind of scares the crap out of me a bit. Its' been there since my mother was a kid, and its' also the creepiest at night. It's almost like the magnet for darkness at the night time. I would be terrified to be there at night though. Like the fact that it would be so dark that if somebody was coming, or something; you would never be able to see it until it was right in front of your nose.
"! All right you lazy asses; get moving and give me 5 miles! Then 100 push ups and sit ups right afterwards!" exclaimed my gym coach. "Yes coach." Our normal reply in a depressing sound. Out of all my classes, as well as their teachers, gym has to be the worst. My gym coach, Mr. Curtis, is always working us to our limit. I get so tired; I'm actually sleeping in my next class and I'm on the verge of failing it. Well, at least it all his workouts will make us stronger. Kind of like he's turning us into warriors, it's a funny thought though. Oh well, at least it's the second to last period of the day. Although, I don't want to be pestered by my mom as soon as I walk in the door; I think I might go hang out with one of my friends after school.
"Ron! Where were you? Julia and I were both terrified! Do you have any idea what time it is? Your school lets out at 3:00 and its now almost 6! Where the hell were you?" screamed my mother. "Calm down mom. Jeez. I wanted to hang out with one of my friends." I replied calmly. "Well you could have at least called us! Anyways, dinner's ready. Go sit down and eat." My mom could never really stay that mad too long. But it's the same old story every day, and let me say; it gets so damn annoying. I just wish something exciting would happen, something new; or at least something random that would at least liven up my life.I don't care when, but I hope soon. I don't care what; just let it break this cycle."
