The Sun Better Come out Soon
The rest of the week felt incredibly long and saying Friday was the crappiest day for me would be an understatement. Well it wasn't the day itself that sucked instead it was the prospect of my family coming in for a visit. I really didn't like them one bit. My aunt and uncle were eccentric to say the least. They were very granola and tree hugging like. And on top of that they had a very strange parenting style and basically let my cousins just do whatever. Besides that they were pretty cool though, very chill and funny.
My cousins on the other hand were just flat out weird. They were also freshman but acted like they were younger than Sarah and she was in Elementary school! Alice was obsessed with unicorns and carried a backpack with them on it everywhere she went. Lilly was equally as strange but instead of mythical creatures with horns she was fanatical about vampires to the point that sometimes she walked around with plastic fangs. She was what some would call a twi-hard, well that's what Sarah said, but crazier. I swear she imagined that some handsome vampire would steal her away and make her a princess and Alice imagined that she would become a horse with a horn and wings.
Seriously it was so bad even Sarah thought they were bad and she was a little kid. But at least all she was obsessed with was well normal 9 year old stuff.
So basically all day I was just worried about them coming in later tonight and having to chauffer my cousins around for the weekend. My friends didn't seem to be any help either. All they did was laugh at me and wish me good luck. And as bad as it was that did make me lose a little bit of control, my ire was growing and I felt my willpower to be, human I guess slipping.
Ms. Tall had me come in during my last class on Friday for our first session though since I wasn't able to come after school. We spent the entire time working on me being able to control my eyes and manage some sense of normality in my actions. And even though we worked for less than an hour it did manage to help a little bit.
Walking out of school I couldn't be happier that I was out of that hell hole. The week I had was so horrible. Every movement I saw made me jump in fear and I just needed a break. And just as Sarah wanted all of my friends were coming to see her portray Annie tonight. Anna was coming out to dinner with us and then we were going to head to the play where everyone would be waiting.
Surprisingly they all agreed to come without any protest. Apparently they all think that my sister was the cutest thing they had ever seen and couldn't wait to see her dance and sing. Me, I didn't care too much but whatever she was my only sister and recently I've been getting a sense that I shouldn't take my family for granted. I think in my past life something traumatic happened that made me leave them or my sister had a hard life. Either way I got the sense that every minute I spent with them was precious and if that included seeing a bad production then so be it.
Anna's next to me with her hand in mine and we walk to the bus together. Ever since the attacks I can't stand to walk, it freaks me out so I've been taking the bus. I can't stand it though. I just can't wait until I get my license. Although now that I think about it I cannot remember ever driving a car, not that I remember too much but I feel as if I've never driven. Did I live that long ago?
We enter the house and we're the only ones here, thank god considering that I know my Mom's going to go insane since she's my girlfriend. Even though that doesn't make sense at all since I've known Anna since we could basically walk and we're on first name basis with each other's parents.
After we go and get a snack, cold pizza for the win, we walk down to the basement to play video games. I love that about Anna, she plays video games and stuff with me. We'll also play sports and stuff in the backyard and just whatever.
Once we get bored of video games Mom comes home with Sarah in tow and Dad comes soon after. I'm surprised that Mom tells me we're allowed in my room. She's so into doing this dating thing right yet she trusts us apparently. Not that we do anything besides kiss a little bit anyway and it wasn't anything too intense. I mean all of our clothes stayed on. We've known each other for so long that it's probably going to take a little while to get completely out of the friendzone.
At about six we leave the house and end up going to some random Italian place. I wasn't really in the mood for Italian but Sarah loved it so whatever. I just got some pasta that wasn't great but wasn't bad either. Anna and I weren't getting questioned too much at least. Really everything was just turning out like any other dinner when Anna would join us.
The only weird thing going on during dinner was that strange sense of being watched. And it was even worse than during school. The best I could explain it was that I felt more than one pair of eyes on me. Like I literally felt fingers prodding my skin and making me feel ice wash over me. All in all it was not a pleasant experience. Not only did it feel extremely weird but it also made me freak out that there were probably those creepers working for Mr. Tiny stalking me.
Even stranger was that I seem to recognize the people watching me even though I didn't know who was watching me. Kind of like there were different impressions the ice made and I could recognize the difference but I can't be sure.
We leave the restaurant and make our way to the high school. The elementary school didn't have a large enough area for the show so we were stuck back at the place I've been stuck at for too many hours a week. Plus I'd have to be here tomorrow too, just great!
My friends all made it at least and even though these things weren't human it was kind of like I had back up if something happened. Not that I planned on anything happening but if this feeling didn't go away then it seemed bound to happen. Well that and the fact that I could never get a break from this violence and the attacks anymore.
Intermission comes and I walk out to the hall to go and buy some candy. My taste buds seemed to have changed quite a bit in the last few weeks but I still have insane chocolate and sugar cravings. I make a face at the stand; they didn't have anything that I really liked so I settle for a bag of popcorn for Anna who doesn't like candy and a pack of Reese's for me. I guess we technically were on a date so it is the nice thing to do and I guess I'm kind of a gentleman. Well I open the door and pull her chair out and stuff if that counts.
She smiles at me and we walk to our seats where Dylan and Sam are arguing over if the theater coordinator of the school was attractive or not. Personally she wasn't my type of girl. Just out of college it was obvious that this was just a job until she could actually make a start of her own career. Her whole image seemed so 'I'm too good for what I'm doing' and I hated people who thought they were better than everyone else. Hell I was a prince, kind of, and the most popular guy in my grade, arguably, and I was still modest and didn't have an ego the size of Texas! Plus her hair was bleach blonde and her boobs were fake and I didn't like that type of thing.
The show resumes and after about five minutes I start to shiver and I feel my skin begin to crawl. I tap Dylan on the shoulder and gesture for the door. He frowns at me but follows me anyway. We slowly work our way out of the auditorium and make our way to the bathroom where they'll be some privacy.
"Why'd we leave? You're sister's actually pretty good."
"Something's coming," I tell him ominously.
He shudders, "What do you mean."
"I mean as in there's people watching us and I get the feeling they're going to attack any minute now."
"Then why drag me into it?"
"Because I might need backup and you're the only one who knows the truth," I yell at him. Seriously why does that matter? I need his help and that's all that matters right now saying that I may be killed.
"Who is it?"
"I have no clue," I admit sheepishly. "But I have a bad feeling."
Apparently I'm psychic now too or I just have really bad timing because at that moment the door slams into the wall and a very angry looking Bill walks in with a look of determination on his face.
"Leave me the hell alone," I growl and I fell my eyes change.
"And I thought my eyes were turning strange," he laughs and I notice his eyes have a more reddish tint than before.
"You're like me," I state.
He snorts, "We're so much better than you. My race is so superior to yours that how dare you even compare us."
I have no clue what he says but I don't really care at the moment. My heart's racing and I've pretty much passed the control threshold by now and am literally on the verge of destroying him. "I said to leave me the hell alone," I growl and water spurts out of the sink and the toilets, soaking Bill but not Dyl and I.
He starts to charge me and I manage to get out of the way and he runs into the wall. I urge Dylan to move and he does. We run back to the auditorium and sit back down out of breath to finish the rest of the play.
Sorry this chapter sucks and I hate it but I wanted a filler chapter. The next chapter will be really long and I'll be introducing about three more characters.
