Seven Months Earlier…
It was a typical Thursday afternoon and I had just gotten home from school.I was a high school freshman at that was a great of the best school years of my life.I was stressed out from finding out I had failed another algebra test , and all I was looking forward to was getting home and chilling out Pete. He was one of the only real friends I had. Let alone one of the only very bright was down to earth and other friends were how you say….rather eccentric?And if the name 'Pete' sounds familer to you,then you probably heard about my brother,Pete who is also a former OSSN ,skinny,rather pale and had curly brown almost looked like twins,except I was shorter and I had a light tan. And that he was a year older than was sixteen and I just turned would tell be how he was so pumped to becoming a full member the next summer,and I had plans about becoming one as parents were in the kitchen talking,and I went downstairs to see if Pete was there. He was probably out tutoring Tim David,a classmate of mine who was barely passing geometery.I went down the stairs to the basement and threw my backpack in the corner and kicked my sneakers off.
~*~What I've Done~*~
"Pete,you here?"I called out
"Yeah,I'm in my room."the voice replied.
I grabbed a can of Monster from the fridge and went for Pete's room was green and has anime posters on the walls and had shelves stocked with video games,movies and from science fiction to mangas. He was sitting at his oak desk,and was reading one of his mangas,and drinking a Coke.
"Hey sis,how'd you do on your test?"asked Pete
"Not that great."I said
"That's alright."he replied"As long as you did your best is all I care about."
"Well,how's helping Tim going?"I asked,sitting beside him.
"Great,actually."said Pete"He shot up two letter grades."
"That's good."I said
"Are you excited for the OSSN meet coming up?"asked Pete
"Yeah,"I said"But I'm concered that my grades won't get me in."
"We can fix that."said Pete"And I think they can make an exception."
"Did you meet anyone at the OSSN yet?"I asked
"I met a few."said Pete"They seem like nice people. Especially these two girls,Page and Rita."
"Someone has a little crush!"I teased
Pete just rolled his eyes and was just so great.I don't know where I'd be without him. He's just an inspiration to was an amazing friend,brother and tutor. Although it takes a while to drill things into my schooling,me and Pete did a lot 'besides that. We'd play basketball all the time in the park,make funny videos and just be to mention how protective he was over me. But in the good. He'd always look out for me. It was like he was my angel. Well,the month had gone by really fast and it was time for our induction ceremony was here and grades had improved just in time. Pete went with Page,and I went with a younger student. Dominic was one of the newest recruited members,and was the younger cousin of Brent,who's originally from California. You probably know Brent, most likely the same way you learned about the site. The day had came and my parents dropped me and Pete off in front of the OSSN building and at the front desk was Brent and Dominic,who looked almost exactly alike. Dom was listening to his mp3 player and kept to himself.
~*~What I've Done~*~
"Hey Brent."said Pete
"Pete and Hayley!"he smiled"It's so great to finally meet you in person."
"Ditto."said Pete
"Dom,don't be rude."Brent said"Introduce yourself."
Dom took his earplugs out and waved.
"Hi."he said
I let Pete and Brent talk and I guess they let me and Dom talk for the time being.
"Hi,I'm Hayley."I said
"Dominic."he introduced."Or just Dom for short."
The conversation got really awkward.I cursed myself for my shyness and awkwardness.I take it the same was for Dom. So I waited until one of us said something.
"You're gonna like the OSSN."Dom started
"I hope so."I laughed."Pete got me into wanted to be a member."
"Brent did the same thing."said Dom,with a laugh."But it's all good."
"I know I sound paranoid,"I started"But is there anything…I should know about?"
"Nothing really."said Dom."Why?"
"I guess it's just my paranoia."I said."Sorry."
"Don't worry."said Dom,putting his hand on mine."It's fine.I'll be with you for the ceremony,okay?"
"Thanks."I smiled
He smiled back,and I could see him blush a bit.
"Hey Hayley."I heard Pete say.
I turned over to him and to see what was up."It's about time."he said
"I'll meet you there."said Dominic.
I smiled and me and Pete went to get were both because of the ceremony,but because of the coming were going with some really cool people,and everyone else seemed really nice and down to earth.I was starting to think that Dominic had a crush on maybe I had the crush on that would have to wait for this ceremony was anything BUT normal…
