Chapter 2: Close Encounters
[Mo's POV]
Like any other day, I wake up today and do pushups, 15 reps then take a shower. I throw on a white tank top and dark green boxers. I walk out the bathroom and see Glitch still in his PJ's sitting on the couch watching T.V. and eating a bowl of cereal. He still reeked of yesterday by the smell of him. "Hey Mo." He says to me.
"'Sup" I respond. I smell another presence here. I recognize the feline scent. It was Kayla. I had forgotten she spent the night. "Hey Kayla."
Her little head pops up. "Hi Momo!" She responds. She jumps from off the couch then runs up and hugs me. She jumps into my arms and squeezes my neck as tight as she can. She also smelled like yesterday as well. "yall gonna dance today?"
"Yep"
"Can I come?" her bright eyes were beaming with joy.
"Oh no you don't" says Glitch "you gotta go to Yaya's"
"You're no fun!" she says. She pokes her bottom lip out. It's really cute.
"Oh hey Mo, I can't stay long, Kayla and I are goin to hang out with another friend. I hope you don't mind."
Kayla looks at me "Nah."
"Yaay!" shouts Kayla. She hugs me again. "You can meet Yaya!"
"Yaya?" I ask.
"Our friend that we'll be visiting later." Glitch chimes in. She nods.
I smile at Kayla "Can't to meet her."
Glitch and I are walking to the arcade when a girl bumps into me "Sorry" she says. I stop in my tracks. I could have sworn I have noticed something about the girl that bumped into me. I turn back to look but she is nowhere to be seen.
"Hey Mo, you ok man?" Glitch
"Yeah" I respond. Before we head to the train station, Glitch and I head to the Arcade. He challenges me to a duel of Kung Fu Invaders. I accept. He pulls out a quarter and inserts it into the slot. We pick our favorite characters. His is Master Kang, I pick Lord Raiden. We stand there, with one hand hold the joystick while our fingers on the buttons. We looked like were about to run a marathon.
"Round one, FIGHT!" Says the game announcer voice. We begin mashing buttons like crazy. "You're going down!" says Glitch.
"That's what you think, Pee wee!" I boast back. He wins the first round. It's not over, I win the second round.
"Final round, FIGHT!" This time I was going make him eat is words. We start off with him getting the upper hand but, I see he was starting to loose steam. "You win!" Says the game announcer voice. On the screen, my character Lord Raiden did his victory stance onscreen. I win the final round of the game. Glitch just looks at me and glares.
"What?" I ask
"You cheated!" he responds.
I roll my eyes "come on, I won fair and square."
"Whatever" that was the last thing he said to me. He didn't speak to me for the rest of the day. He didn't even open his mouth until he got in the house. He said nothing other than "I'm out." and that was it.
Later that night, I am walking down past Amp Rev Dorms when a girl brushes past me running into the back alley behind them. I recognized her scent. I follow her. I walk a fair distance away not to seem obvious. I look for her, but she is no where to be seen. I look around. Nothing. Guess she ran off. I turn to walk away until I hear shuffling. I walk back to there and I kneel down to I see a black cat darts out from under one of the dumpsters. Something this cat is different than others. It had a distinctive scent that seemed familiar the girl that bumped into me in the mall and to Glitch's friend. I begin to run after it following the trailing scent. It leads me to an abandoned building, but it disappears before I could find it again.
{Anaya's POV}
I wake up when I hear my cell phone rings "Hello?" I answer.
"Hey girl!" says Taye
"Hey!" I answer back.
"Whatchu doin today?"
"Nothin' much"
"you wanna go to the mall with me and T today?"
"Well, I have nothing else to do," I really didn't so it was a good idea and I really needed to get out of the house anyway. "Why not?"
"Alright then"
"I'll meet y'all at the golf course" I say to her. I jump out of bed and stretch. I then jump in the shower then get dressed in a yellow crop top with a purple tube top underneath and black Capri pants. I head out the door. I walk to the golf course and I see Lil' T there with Taye along with Q-bee. They wave to me.
"Hey" I say to them.
"You ready?"
I head to the mall with Taye, Lil' T, and Q-bee. Not looking at where I was going, I bump into a tall guy in an orange jacket "Sorry," I say to him. I felt a strange aura from him. It stops me in my tracks and sends chills down my spine. I think I feel that he is standing right behind me. I turn around and he's gone. I must be hallucinating.
"Yaya are you ok girl?" Taye asks. I hadn't realized I had fallen behind.
"Yeah I'm fine" I say to her.
"You look like you just saw a ghost." says Lil' T
"Felt like I just touched one too" I respond.
"Girl, you crazy," says Q-bee. She grabs my wrist "come on." she says dragging me along. I smile and shake my head.
Later that evening the house smelled like sulfur. Emilia's trigger-happy friend Bonnie hood came over. It's not that I didn't like her, I just hated that whenever she came over, she made the apartment smell like a shooting range.
I hear a knock on the door. I open it to find Glitch and Kayla standing there "Hey guys"
"Hi Yaya!" Kayla shouts back. Glitch comes in while, she runs into the house and jumps on the couch.
"So what are you guys up to?" I ask.
"Not much." Says Glitch "I want to drop off Kayla and say hi."
"Ah cool." I say to him. "Oh sorry for the house smelling like a shooting range, Emilia's friend Bonnie is in here.
"It's cool," he says, "anyways I was wondering if you were busy sometime next week?"
"No, why?" I ask.
"You can meet our big brother!" blurts Kayla.
"Big brother huh?"
"Well, he's not really our big brother," says Glitch "but he's like a big brother to us."
"He's a breakdancer just like Glitch!" says Kayla.
"I look forward to meeting him." I chuckle.
Later that night after Glitch and Kayla leave, I get hungry. I look into the refrigerator and there is nothing to eat in only thing in there was milk. As usual, Emilia forgot to buy food for the house for this round of buying groceries.
"Yo, Mimi!" I shout.
"What!" Emilia shouts back.
"There no food in the house! It's your turn to buy groceries."
"I'll get it tomorrow!" she says.
"Sure you will." I mumble. I know she'll never get around to it anyway, I really didn't want to fuss I was too hungry to do so, and with that I walk out the house and run down the alleys near the back of the dorms and take my black cat form hunting for mice. I hear footsteps. I look in the direction of where I hear them and I see a dark shadow coming toward me. Male by scent of him. I hide under the dumpster. I see a pair of Blue and white Jordans walking into view. They stay there for a while. He turns to walk away. Something brushes up against my tail causing me to jump and hit a can next to me. Dammit! The feet stop and he walks He begins to kneel down and I run out from under the dumpster. I quickly run away. Yet I still felt like that he was still following me. I hear his feet chasing me. I run into an abandoned shack and hide there until the feet stop. They do and I hear snarling. Whatever it or he is, sounds like an angry lion. I shift back into my "human" form and head back to my room. That was a close one. I wonder who, or what that guy was?
I come back in to find Bonnie rummaging through the refrigerator. She turns to look at me "Did you know there's no food in the fridge?"
I just look at her unenthused "Really?" I ask sternly.
