The day started out normally, waking up feeling horrible, getting dressed, eating breakfast, saying goodbyes to my perants, and going to school. My friend, Tristen, matched my stride.
"Good morning, Gerret," He says, resting his arm on my head. Tristen was about a head taller than me, and constantly making fun of my height.
"Would you not," I tell him. He was also a lot stronger, so I couldn't do anything to him.
"Sorry," He said with a smirk. "Couldn't help it." Before I could say some smartass comment Abigale, another one of my friends, joined us.
"Wallis will join us at school," She tells us. "He had to leave early."
"Cool," Tristen said.
"Yeah, we could always talk in TTL," I say to them. "So Abby, what's up, I've heard you've been accepted to a college?"
"Yup," She said, smiling widely. "I actually got accepted Harverd."
"That's sweet," I say I'm return. "I think I'll stay a year here before I go. What about you, Travis?"
"Just got accepted into Yale, so I'll be going soon after graduation," He says back. We were all going to different places, only a few months before we will have to say goodbye. Me and Travis have been friends since second grade. Abigale and Wallis joined soon after. After all this time, we will have to leave.
"Don't worry, we'll still have contact," Abigale said, reading my mind.
"Yeah, and we'll see each other during breaks," Travis added. To opened my mouth to say something, but my phone interuped me. I was a text from Wallis.
Don't go to school, I've found something. It's not safe for any of you.
"What does it say?" Abigale asked.
"Wallis tells us not to go to school, is not safe aperantly," I tell them.
Come to my house immediately, don't go anywhere else!
"OK this may is strange, even for him," I read over the texts again. "He wants us to go to his house."
"Well any opertunity there is for skipping school, I'll take it," Abigale said.
"But then school with tell our perants," Travis checked his phone for the time.
"OK how about we just go and see if he's alright?" I compermised.
"Yes, you think we could miss math?" Abigale asked excited.
"We'll check on him, and we'll go to school, that's it," Travis crossed his arms. We started walking in the opposite way from school, towards Wallis' house. There was little conversation between us on the way there, so three trip seemed longer than usual, which made Travis agitated. You don't want to see Travis when he's in a bad mood. Finally, we got to Wallis' house. I go up to the door, knocking on it several times. Wallis opened the door, quickly pushing us inside.
"OK Wallis, what's all this shit all about," Travis said, his eyes wanted blood.
"Well, yesterday I went down into the forest for a bit, and I've found something," Wallis motioned us into his room. Wallis pulled a breefcase from under his bed. He slowly opened it. There was needles filled with different liquids.
"Needles?" Abigale asked.
"Yes, but their chemical make-ups don't match any medical injections," Wallis went to his PC. "There are somethings that are not even elements."
"Wallis, I don't have time for your conspiracy theories," Travis would have knocked Wallis's teeth out if I didn't grab his arm.
"It's not conspiracy anymore, it's real life, it's real," Wallis pointed to his computer. "What the fuck is Herillion? The only source of it I could find is a government website, and that was code blocked." We all looked at his computer, it showed a website explaining what this Herillion was. It was very basic, obviously not for anyone to see.
"What of it, anyone could make a website like that," Travis rolled his eyes.
"Actually no, no normal person could make a website with the .gov tag," I corrected him. ".gov stands for government." Travis opened his mouth to say something, probably sarcastic and proves I'm wrong, but there was harsh banging at Wallis's door.
"THIS IS THE FBI! COME OUT WITH THE BREEFCASE WITH YOUR HANDS UP BEFORE WE COME AND PULL YOU OUT!!" A voice shouted. We all froze, even Travis had to admit, Wallis was right.
(Hey guys I'm back, this is just a little idea I've come up with, I think I'm going to stick with it. So yeah I'm going to try and update this every Monday, let's see how that goes. But anyways, see ya next Monday!! ; ). )
