I'm starting now! Yay!
-Bree's POV-
Tasha, Eliza and I get back to the mansion and go through the door. Adam and Leo are watching something on the TV and Chase is at the counter doing next month's homework.
"Hello! We're home!" I call out to them.
"Yeah that's nice Bree." Adam mumbled, absorbed in his TV show, Leo said nothing at all, neither did Chase. I sighed slightly and rolled my eyes.
Mr Davenport came downstairs. "Okay Bree, your capsule is in Eliza's room now. You should all probably get to sleep. You have school tomorrow."
"Ugh, why?!" Adam complained. "It's not like I'm awake in school anyway!"
"Just go to bed!" Mr Davenport yells. Adam and Leo groan. Chase finishes writing something and then goes to the elevator without a care. Adam followed close behind. Leo went to the elevator.
"What are you doing?" Davenport asked.
"Going to the lab." Leo shrugged. Mr Davenport pointed to the stairs. Leo sighed before running to them and going to his room. Me and Eliza went up afterward.
-Eliza's POV-
I walked up the spiral staircase and into my room. I lye down on my bed and try to go to sleep. I kept squirming around in bed, unable to get any sleep. That's when Bree walked up to me with a cup of water.
"Take this. It will help you sleep."
"What is it?" I ask curiously.
"Nothing. It's just a little liquid. It doesn't taste good but you'll sleep better afterward. Chase used to have to use it when he was worried Douglas would come back for revenge."
"Wh-whos D-douglas?" I ask nervously.
"Nothing you need to be worried about. He's with us now." Bree smiled.
"Okay." I smiled back before taking the liquid and drinking it. It tasted bad, but it did work. I was out like a light in a few minutes.
I wake up in my bed and get out. Bree's capsule is smashed and I see blood on the floor. I begin to sweat. I run down the stairs and see Bree collapsed on the floor, looking lifeless. I check her pulse. Nothing. I hear a gun load. I look up to see a man. He had dark brown hair and was dressed entirely in black. A few police officers break through the door but then the gun fires, aimed straight at my head. That's when I scream.
I jolt awake in my bed screaming and sweating all over. Bree gets out of her capsule and comes over to me.
"What's wrong?" She asks.
"N-n-nothing… j-just a b-bad dream…" I say.
"Okay." She says. "Do you want to go back to sleep."
I nod slowly.
"Okay. Close your eyes, it's gonna be fine."
I smile and fall into a dark, dreamless sleep.
I wake up to Bree shaking me.
"What?" I ask groggily.
"We need to go to school. C'mon!" She says.
I quickly get out of bed and run down the stairs. I have just enough time to eat a piece of toast before running out the door.
When I arrive at school, an adult walks up to me. They are a redhead and are wearing a striped shirt.
Bree shows me my locker a few minutes before the bell rings and I run off to class.
"AYHOH!" I hear someone tell. A tall boy walks up to me.
"Look boys! It's Dooley… ette? Dooleyella? It's girl Dooley!" He yells, stumbling on his words slightly. I assume he's not the smartest guy in school. One of his friends glances at the clock and taps the guy's shoulder.
"See ya later, nerdilocks!" He laughs before running off, high-fiving two people at once as he goes off.
Later I'm almost done with the day. I look at my schedule. Math is next anf PE after that. Leo walks up to me.
"Hey Eliza. What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. Just waiting for the bell."
Leo eyed my schedule. "Good luck!"
"Thanks!" I say cheerfully.
"You'll need it." He continues.
"W-what do you mean?" I ask, slightly nervous.
"Well, you have PE soon. Trent's the teacher."
"W-who's Trent?" I ask.
"He's the worst bully in school!"
I started to sweat.
"Eliza?"
"Uh.. Wha-... I…" I said before collapsing.
I wake up in the nurse's office and get up.
"Hey Eliza." The nurse said. "This class is almost over, next one is starting up."
"How long has it been?" I ask.
"Don't worry. You only missed one class."
Then I remember: now I have PE. I start to breath fast and sweat.
"Calm down." The nurse says. "Just lay here until this class is over, then go to your next one."
I decide to use this time to prepare for whatever Trent will do. After a few minutes, I go to gym class.
"Hey look! Nerdilocks is back!" Some guy, who I assume is Trent, yells. "This time, the bears won't be so nice." He smirks.
Some kids look at him strangely. He steps forward with one foot and everyone takes a step back.
"Okay. Nerds VS Jocks! Get in line, geeks! You too, my peeps!"
"Stop rhyming!" One guy yelled.
Trent glared at him and made some signals with his fingers. The guy tensed up. That's strange.
"Okay! Is everyone in line?!" Trent yelled. Everyone nodded. I was lined up with the so called nerds. He called me Nerdilocks, so I knew what group I was put into.
Trent got out the dodgeballs and threw them between the two groups. It was obvious that he was in favor of team jock. I saw a short kid with a cape on next to me.
"Hey. Who are you?" I ask.
"My name is Gordo and-" he never got to finish his sentence because a dodgeball nailed him in the forehead.
I looked over and immediately knew who threw it. They were just jumping in the air with victory. So cheesy. I grabbed the ball that hit Gordo and did an underhand toss toward the guy. It seemed to go in slow motion. The ball hurdled through the air toward the target. Then it fell down to the ground like a rock.
I see Trent run onto the court and grab two dodgeballs. He throws one at me and then the other behind it. They went so fast I didn't have time to dodge. When the first one hit I stumbled back, the second hit me to the ground. My head hit the ground hard and I blacked out.
Kaboom! My first chapter! Was it good or bad? And I know that wasn't as much of a cliffhanger as it was a cheap way to end the chapter. Anyway, thanks for reading! Review please!
