Trapped
Chapter one - Brendan "Hey, homo! Get the hell over here!" Yea, that's me. No unfortunately, I am not exactly the one who has the colorful language. No, I am the fag. Well, I'm not really a fag, but.. Well, you get the point. Anyway, I turned around and saw one of the biggest idiots in all of Lakeview High, Ben White. Now, Ben may be stupid, but what this guy doesn't have in brains, he really makes up in size. I mean, this kid is huge, anyway, that's not really the point, the point is that I now have to try to find a way to keep my underwear from being stretched over the top of my head by a guy that looks like a scientific experiment gone wrong.
"The trash can was just telling me that you two have a date planned, you wouldn't want to be late, now would you"
"Now, what did I tell you about missing your medication, as stupid as you may be, inanimate objects are not supposed to be talking to you." Now, it probably isn't a very good idea to be insulting him, but like I said, he is really dumb, it will take about ten minutes to realize that I just insulted him, so in the mean time, I run. Ok, now that I have the chance, I can introduce myself. My name is Brendan Cambell. I guess I am a nerd. I mean, I am in the band, and I do hang out in the science wing any chance I get. As a matter of fact, that is where I am heading to right know. I strolled through the familiar hallways and into the room I have adopted as my lab. I could smell the sulfur from my latest experiment.
I walked over to the table. I set my backpack on the table and pulled out my calculator.
"Ahh shit. This is not what I need right now. Really, I don't." My calculator had found its way to the bottom of my bag and had the whole screen crushed in by the corner of my math book. I picked up the phone on the table and dialed. I jumped when it rang right behind me.
"Crap, I almost had you too!" I turned and faced my best friend, Chug, (Well, her real name is Victoria, I no one has called her that for years) stumbling over a stack of paint cans.
"Whatever, you never even sort of had me." Truth be told, she would have scared the hell out of me, but I would never tell her that. "How is it a again that your room got stuck with all of those stupid construction workers crap, I mean, look at this, scrap, paint, tools. You should write to the school board." I smiled; Chug has been my best friend since first grade. She lives right next door and we have shared everything together.
"So, mister winner of the science fair for the past five years, what is the project for today? Monkey brains? Chimp skull?" She asked.
"No, today, we find the twenty third dimension."
"The twenty third, huh?" she asked, "What happened to dimensions four through twenty two?"
"Couldn't get them to work. That's not the point."
"So, how do we find the twenty third dimension?" Chug asked with a smile.
"Well," I said, "we first need to sacrifice a virgin, but I cant use you, so,"
"What? You know, I'm a virgin," Chug said.
"Oh, then you are volunteering?"
"Very funny, what do we really have to do?"
"Well, I've already done all of the hard work and equations, all I need to do now is find something kind of large, a closed figure, that doesn't conduct electricity."
"Um, like a door frame?"
"Yea, that could work, if you could just pull one out of your ass, that would be great."
"I can do better then that, I can drag one over here from over there." I looked to where she was pointing, a stack of door frames were stacked against the wall, left over from the construction workers.
"Chug, did I ever tell you I loved you?"
"Every day when I save your ass." The two of us dragged the large door frame over to my table. I fit a stand to the bottom in order to hold it. Then, I proceeded to hook up a complex set of wires up between the frame and my laptop.
"Uhhh, that should be it," said with uncertainty.
"Let's hit it then," Chug said. I typed in the start sequence on my computer. The two of stepped back from the frame and stared at it.
"Damn, another failure," I said
"No, look!" I looked up and there, a small bead dropped from the center of the door frame. The small droplet hovered for a second, then, suddenly, small webs started sprouting from the sides of the bead. The webs started melting together until the whole inside of the door frame was filled with an odd, silver, translucent goo. For that small moment, I was actually happy that I created this portal. But that's when all hell broke lose. There was a small beeping on my computer.
"Shit, Ben alert!" I said
"Huh?" Chug looked at me with a confused look on her face.
"I planted a tracker on Ben last week, just in case, and he is now heading this way, and I don't think it is for help with is homework."
"All right, you have to hide."
"Where?" I asked.
"In there," said Chug, pointing to the door frame.
"No way, you can't just jump in there, you don't know what could be in there," I protested.
"Don't be a baby, lets go!" With that, Chug pushed me hard in the back, causing me to stumble over wires along the ground. I grabbed Chug by the arm, and we both fell forward, right into the portal.
