I walked into the cafeteria and saw the table that MJ normally sat at. I got my lunch and walked over.
I sat down without hesitation.
MJ, and Harry walked over to me. They set their trays down and sat down.
"I heard you were stuck in a bus that caught fire, are you all right?" ask Harry as he started to eat.
"I'm fine. Thanks for asking." I started eating my lunch quietly.
When I was half way through my lunch, Peter walked to the table with his lunch and sat down across from Harry.
"Sorry I'm late." he started eating.
I was finished before MJ, so I thought about what I was going to say as I put my dirty tray away.
I decided that I didn't need any more attention, and I figure out exactly what I was going to say.
MJ finished her lunch and put her tray away.
She got out a notepad, tape recorder and camera. She place the tape recorder in the space between us and pressed the record button. She looked up to me and asked.
What exactly happen in the fire
"I was in so much shock when the fire started that I couldn't move. Than this guy broke open a fire hydrant outside of the bus that put out the fire. Than a guy wearing a red and blue suit came in and carried Grant out because he was unconscious and badly hurt, I followed."
I looked at MJ's face, I felt bad for having to lie to my first and only friend at the school. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Peter looking confused. MJ asked another question.
"Do you have any injuries from this incident?"
"None, unless you mean burns."
Before you all get mad at me please realize there was no "me hitting my head" in my abridge verse of the story.
"All right last question, What do you have to say to the person that saved you?"
Since the person that saved me was myself I said.
"Thank you for being there and carrying Grant out." At least THAT is not lying.
MJ stopped recording and put everything but her camera away. She lifted it slightly and asked.
"Can I get a picture?"
I tried to look tired and said "I'd rather not.".
Believe me when I say this, I don't need my Face in the school paper, and you should at least know this if you have read this thus far.
She put the camera away, than Peter asked.
"Is that really how you got out?" Without looking up I nodded.
I looked up at MJ and asked "Do you know where the emergence hospital is around here?"
She thought about it then said after swallowing a bit of her sandwich. " Sure, I could write down the directions for you."
I thanked her and started eating.
When lunch was over I went to my locker. The boy that doesn't know how to use hair gel, remember him? Turns out his locker was right next to mine. Which, let me inform you I am not happy about!
I switched out my books, and went back to class. I could feel someone watching me, I causal turned my head as if I didn't notice and looked around. Just a bunch of students, I turned back and started walking to class telling myself it was just my imagination, that's it. The feeling continued, but ignored it.
I walked into class and took my seat. I still could feel someone watching me, which made it hard to pay attention to class
The bell finally rang, telling us the school day was over.
I picked up my stuff and got ready to leave. Edward, The boy with too much hair gel, was talking to a girl in my class. Seemed like they were taking about gross stuff, like kissing and stuff that I will not mention. The girl he was taking to bent down to pick up something, in that brief moment he looked up, locked eyes with me and winked.
I turned around quickly and a shivered went down my spine as I left. As I went to pick up my books from my locker I thought to myself, What the heck is wrong with him? His "girlfriend" was right there, how disgusting...
But I will admit, I did "fall" for him for a brief moment, but luckily I regain my sanity before a second pass.
The buses were about to leave, but I ignored them, I wanted to visit Grant, the kid I "saved" from the bus fire, in the hospital before going back home. I pulled out the directions MJ gave me and made my way to the hospital.
Ok, maybe I'm going crazy but I could defiantly feel someone watching me, I cautiously looked around as I walked, but no one was there. Geez, why i'm i so paranoid?
I carefully made my way to the hospital. Dark clouds started to form, it was going to rain soon.
Right when I walked through the hospital doors it started to pour.
I ask the receptionist where I might find Grant's room. She asked a nurse to lead me there.
The nurse walked briskly in front of me, then stopped at a door. She pushed it open, and I walked in.
A boy with dark brown hair and a bandage covering one eye, sat up on the bed.
"I know you, you're that girl I was talking to before the fire." he said.
I smiled awkwardly. "Yep, I'm that girl." I walked over to his side, I put my hand out to shake his.
"I'm Erica."
He shook my hand "I'm Grant, nice to meet you." he nodded.
I sat at one of the chairs around the room.
"So, how has the hospital been treating you? Ice cream 24/7?" I asked jokingly.
He made a fake laugh, then looked out the window at the other side of the room.
It was raining harder now, lightning flashed through the sky.
I don't know how long we stared out the window.
"You know when you'll be released from the hospital?" I said breaking the silence.
He looked back at me. "Next week at the latest."
His face brighten up suddenly, "Did you hear about the meteor shower coming up next month?"
I frowned. "No, what's that?"
One thing led to the next, we went from him explaining the meteor shower, and the theory about the meteors being from Asgard, which he kept bringing up, to taking about Thor, the storm we were having, and school, which was not a topic for very long.
Time really flew by, I saw the clock and told him I had to go.
"Will you come back tomorrow?" he asked causally.
I turned back to him, pulling my jacket on. "Of Course I am." I smiled. "Someone has to give you the school work you miss."
He made a face at me right before I closed the door.
It was still pouring, I pulled my baseball cap over my eyes and started walking back home.
I kept stepping in puddles and by the time I walked through the doors of my house my Shoes were wet to the core.
I taped my feet on the ground to dry them off enough to go upstairs.
I ran up to my room and change out of my groggy wet clothes into my warm pajamas, I changed my bandage carefully and went down stairs and made myself a bowl of cereal, I turned on the tv and sat on the couch.
Mom finally started her job and wasn't going to be back home till 7pm.
I went through channels, barely giving the tv time to catch a signal.
I stopped clicking, the channel that I stopped on was News Live, there was a reporter standing in the rain holding an umbrella over his head. I turned up the volume.
"Raining, hailing and possible flooding in the lower parts of the city, we suggest staying indoors until the storm has fully passed."
I gave up on tv at that point and reviewed my school work.
And that was the ending to my day...
