Normal Is An Illusion,
What Is Normal
For The Spider
Is Chaos For The Fly,
Usually high school is high school, and when your a junior you become nervous cause soon you'll be going to college after another year of high school. However, you are already accepted to college here, So maybe the fear that withholds here, is leaving and growing up and finding a job. After all you've been here for so many years not to mention the medical department students.
Today I must figure out what I'll be doing for high school so that my senior is full of classes that prepare me for my college courses after senior year. I specialize in art. I've always loved painting or snapping pictures so I guess I'd major in the arts and photography career. I scroll on the tablet in-front of me filling out the application online. Whilst Logan comes into my room with a look on his face.
I close the tablet and look up at him. He has a look on his face.
"Somethings wrong" he says so serious and afraid that it scares me.
"..." I stay silent stepping away from him.
"There has been a murder" he says nervously.
"Did you guys find out who it was?" I flinch as he turns to me.
"Malcolm's girlfriend's best-friend is dead and on the wall it had a symbol drawn with blood...we found a deathnote with a bunch of students names and Malcolm's girlfriend is next.." He explains.
"So luxurious huh? Can I please get out of here your scaring me" I say nervously stepping back to a wall.
"alright, we could walk around town, I'm getting freaked out too" Logan admits. I look at my black long-sleeve shirt and grey jeans and black vans. I didn't have to change. I got off my bed and followed Logan out of my room. We hear screaming.
"Stay here.." Logan whisper's.
I gulp. I slowly follow him. I look at my arms to see myself behind me.
*it's about time you've used your powers* a voice plays in my head.
*I'm your mind, people like you need me to guide you on how to use your powers, when your scared you could turn invisible. Keep following Logan and use your mind and listen to what I say in order to help him out* I nod nervously listening to the voice.
I continue following Logan and see the scene of a black shadow trying to attack a couple. I grow very scared. Logan runs up to it and starts fighting with it. They exchange punches,kicks fists and brutal attacks. I slide through grabbing the dagger that the black shadow had behind his back. The shadow turned around and saw it was missing. I use the dagger and smash it on the shadow's head. As it died it gave off a chemical, allowing my hands to become visible.
The couple stared at my hands. Logan sucked up the shadow that was now dead in a machine wiping the blood off of him. I start to run back to myself. I go into my body.
*Good work, now you have to shut me off so Logan won't notice You have used your powers, you have to be off-guard when he finds out*
I close my eyes and feel the power voice fade away and the blood in my hands disappear. The dagger appears in my hand as I hear Logan coming back. I blend it over and over with my hands and stars appear before it and it turns into a necklace. I place it over my neck and pant tiredly.
"It was nothing" Logan laughs.
I scoff. I shouldn't trust him so easily. I nod and follow him in the hallway. He wore a red shirt and black pants with grey sneakers. As we exited the building him and I walk for about 15 minutes in silence.
A sign appears before us.
Welcome To MiddleCourt Square
"Logan, do you believe in, inhuman beings- ?" I blurt out.
"I believe that many people have different versions of realities , maybe that's the same thing?" He responds.
We walk close and as we turned toward a diner, our fingers brush. We both move our hands awkwardly away as we step inside the diner. We are seated at a table near an elderly gathering and a bunch of junior high students talking about high-school plans.
"What would you suggest would be something good to eat?" I ask.
"I'm not sure, I've never been here before," He says picking up the menu. He looks up.
I look up to and our eyes meet. I look toward his green eyes. I see a star appear. Why were his and Malcolm's eyes so interesting. Why were mine so interesting? As if they were inhuman his eyes seemed to say hello and goodbye at the same moment. Like he had his doors open but then there were walls to protect those open doors.
I looked back at the menu. After 2 minutes I looked up to see Logan no longer there.
I shrugged my shoulders as the waitress came toward me.
"Country fried steak, over-easy eggs and seasoned fries and could I get an orange juice?" I say.
The waitress takes out a pad and starts writing.
"Yes" she nods as she leaves. I grow confused. He left? ehh oh well. I looked down at the decorated table when I hear the sliding of someone sitting next to me.
"Chance? It's me Matt" I look up to see a bloody guy with blond hair staring at me.
I double blink to just see Logan. He had 2 $20's on the table.
"You forgot your wallet since I see that it's not on you so I pulled out some money" Logan explains.
"I-I? oh well I didn't know we were gonna eat I mean uh .." I trail off still terrified.
"Excuse me" I run to the bathroom and take a breathe.
I then get out the bathroom and go back to sit with Logan.
"Food is served" The waitress said handing out the food.
I look at the sizzling food on our plates and sniff the air pleasantly. Logan takes a sip of his drink and then begins to eat.
After the diner. We walk around each shop looking at souvenirs, magic stores, clothing stores and galleries. We stop in-front of a haunted house maze.
"You have got to be kidding" I say nervously.
"Find me if you can ready set go" Logan is gone in an instant and I am terrified. I head in quietly into the haunted house. There's a mirror maze, then a clown starts following me so I start running then it stops and starts following someone else. I scream at creepy people and photos and sounds.
"Logan?" I whisper and someone pops out at me and I fall backward on the ground from being so scared. The figure falls toward me. I open my eyes to see Logan laughing. He's on top of me.
"Too much?" he asks in a serious tone.
I roll my eyes.
I go to get up abruptly and his lips brush against mine as we both get up.
We stop moving and stare at each-other realizing what just happened.
"sorry.." he says helping me up.
"no.. it's fine can we just get out of here" I say.
We both get out of the maze and continue walking until his phone flashes.
"Malcolm? yeah, yes I do. Why does it matter? Yes. you need to stop Malcolm. This time it won't happen again" Logan shuts off the phone.
".." he tenses up then relaxes.
"It's almost your curfew lets start heading back before Malcolm becomes a pain in my ass"
Logan says. I laugh then, he looks at me surprised and a smile spreads on his face as we both start laughing.
"he reads a poem about love to me out of nowhere , then invites me to his lounge and then his girlfriend comes talking about the lounge like why be up your ass if he has a gf unless he has a thing for dudes" I say cracking up, Logan does too as we start heading back on the road toward back to the college-high-school. I kept forgetting the name of the school and I didn't want to ask Logan.
I grew very tired as Logan and I ran up the stairs to my room. We walked for about 30 minutes because of course my room wasn't the closet room. As I got to my room I see Malcolm there. I grow confused.
"ever since you got here there have been more murders then usual" Malcolm says with a fed next to him.
"Are you accusing me of a crime of a person I don't know? I haven't even started classes yet for you to be accusing me of writing such things. I mean if anything maybe you did it, you know every single person here and look my hand writing does not even match. Funny how you could turn on me when there's a murder that is linked to your girlfriend. You only have that one fact of me being new here and having more murders but good-luck trying to find any-other facts because I was applying an application just around the same time. Go check my tablet time of application. I may be new but I know a false accusation when I see one and I'm way smarter then you think I am so do me a favor and tell your boss that I don't needa guide when Logan can be both an authority and a guide you bastard" I snap storming to the bathroom and slamming the door leaving Malcolm speechless.
I couldn't believe he'd blame me.
"You heard her Malcolm" Logan said aggravated.
I hear two pairs of feet walk out my room. Logan closes the door.
"Should I leave?" he asks.
I open the door and run toward him with tears streaming in my eyes from frustration.
"Might as well go to prison since so many people hate me and want me gone" I splatter. Logan pulls me a holding my shoulders with his green eyes staring into mine.
"I don't want you gone" He says. I look at him in a misunderstanding way.
"I'm here for you" Logan side smiles. I nod as I cuddle him hugging him tight like a pillow. He smiles I can feel it.
"Thank you Logan, so far your my only friend" I whisper.
"I could say the same" he says.
I swore I could stay forever standing there with him and I hugging. He was definitely a great friend.
I pull away and plop myself on my bed tiredly. I lay down and feel Logan lay on the other bed. We stood staring at each other for the longest. Just looking. In a way we were the same.
we were both, misunderstood.
