My alarm starts beeping at 5:00 in the morning, and I reach over to turn it off. What did the text mean? Who was it from? The thoughts run through my brain, as I tore the covers off, and stumbled into the bathroom. A few hours later, I the topic was completely tucked into a deep corner of my mind, and I was focused on operating and fixing a man who was injured on the job.
(memory)
"my name is Oliver Queen" the boy introduces himself to me. It's the first day of high school, and I was a new student.
"my name is Tommy" the other boy introduces himself to
"I'm Sarah, and she's Laurel" a girl adds. I nod, as I started to fill out the new student sheet
"where are you from?" I hear Tommy ask,
"I'm from Central City" I reply, the teacher looks in our direction and our conversation stops.
"you should eat lunch with us" Laurel says, I nod, and we all settle into our seats.
"please pick up a book from the front" the teacher says, "these books are new, so please don't draw inappropriate things in them" the teacher adds eyeing Tommy and Oliver.
"no promises" was all Tommy said, before he was rewarded with a glare.
"you know you can have vacations" one of the doctors told me when we were having lunch,
"I know" I respond, "but the few years of overseas was a good enough vacation" I said,
"but you were treating people in war zones, and people who were fighting" Dr. Lei said, we both specialized in trauma, but she was more of a ER person, while I was the operating person.
"it's kinda hard to have fun vacations when the majority of your best friends are dead" I said kinda annoyed. Everyone quiets down, and they all look down. Yes, to the outside world Sarah is dead, 2 other of my friends died during the attack by super soldiers, and the rest of them are somewhere on the other side of the world. My cellphone beeps, and I get up "later guys" I huffed as I walk away.
(a while back)
"Alythe?" I look up and found myself face to face with a blond boy,
"what" I snapped at him, I was half way through a great sentence for my argument about whether or not nuclear option was a good idea in my AP Environmental Science class.
"woah, I'm sorry, I just needed help" he responded
"again?" I sighed "Oliver, you need to pay attention in class, and not do everything at the last minute"
"this is not last minute!" he exclaimed, "this project is due the day after tomorrow, and I'm starting early" he smiled
"what do you have to do?" I ask suspiciously,
"write a 5 page essay" he said with a sly smile,
"Oliver, honestly, you need to get yourself together" I mutter "Start writing that paper tonight, and I'll look it for you" he smiled, "I'm not writing it for you!" I screamed as he walked away.
After my 3rd surgery, there was nothing to do, so I took a nap on the couch in our "common room," it seemed like no sooner had I closed my eyes, I was shaken away by one of the nurses.
"huh?" I said, she held a phone to my ear, "hello" I add quickly, taking the phone, and thanking the nurse
"hey, Aly, I had to fake an emergency to talk to you" I hear Thea on the otherside
"oh, you could've told the Nurse Alison that you were my friend" I rubbed my eyes, and checked the time, I had been asleep for an hour
"yeah, well I wasn't thinking clearly" she said, I could hear the hint of hysteria in her voice
"hey, hey, calm down- what's wrong?" I said, partially knowing what was going on
"It's Olie!" Thea nearly says "he hasn't responded in so long"
"he's probably taking a trip, and just didn't tell you" I said, "he did that once" I add, I hear Thea sigh
"alright, but if you hear from him, tell him to call me! I need to yell at him properly" she said and hung up. I open my phone to check the news, and an article pops up- The Flash- a Hero, I scroll past it and searched for anything to do with the Vigilante. Once again, like yesterday- zero updates. I huff, and got up, my scrubs were wrinkled, and there was an indent on my arm from my badge.
"if this get's any worse, we'll have a big problem" I say to no one in particular, as the tv screen- once again has the headline Trouble in the Glades.
As I drive down the stuffed road- it was evening rush hour, everyone wants to get home to their family, or they just wanted to get away. As I sit at the super long red light, I listen to the news.
"-currently we have no updates about whether or not the vigilante is still here, but sightings of a red man, and a blonde woman in black in the glades are common-" the light turns green, and I zoom forward. When I get home, I sit down on my couch and I dial a number.
"This is Felicity" I hear a soft voice say,
"Hey Felicity, it's Alythe" I say, and Felicity gasps,
"Aly! I haven't heard from you in forever!" she says,
"I've been overseas, and in war zones. So no time to call" I said, "I heard you guys have been busy"
"yeah, but" she stopped talking
"yeah" I responded, "hey, do you need me to come down?" I asked,
"oh you don't have too" she said, but it sounded like she needed a friend,
"I'm on my way" I said walking out of my house again.
These stories are short, but I'm working on a bigger story with will connect this story and my other one. Hope you enjoy this one :) ~Helena
