NOT THE ONLY ONES

2. GROSS

Things were pretty normal at school today. Normal in a boring way. Things were too slow, everyone lacked the energy and enthusiasm.

Nobody said a word about yesterday's incident. I guess everyone was scared out of their wits.

But more than everyone else it was scary for me.. I felt sick, I needed to throw up twice. I fell unconscious. Something was wrong.

Whatever.

I log into my Facebook account, just to get my mind over all these things, I've been thinking too much. Hope Facebook will provide as a good distraction.

I see random posts from people, but one post from a photography interested friend from school catches my attention.

It's the photo of sky. But no normal sky, yesterday's greenish sky below which Aryan lay unconscious.

Oh God!

I scroll below quickly and what I see is more annoying. People from different parts of world have shared photos of unusual sky colours.

Angrily I shut my laptop and push it away.

The entire reason why I logged into my Facebook account was to forget about yesterday's weird incidents.

And what I see green skys, yellow skys!

Damn it!

I turn on the Television and the news channel shows randomly.

"People have been seeing strange things, the skys have been spotted with weird colours" Says the thin haired reporter.

"Enough of this now!"

I switch off the television and come back to my room.

I hear notifications on my phone so I pick it up.

I have 250 mails in my inbox.

Phew! Finally I can do something, I'll just delete all the spams from my account.

I open my mail and to my surprise, there are no spam mails.

Almost all the mails are from two people- Some George McCullum and another one Robert Hale.

Who are these people?

They don't seem like common spammers.

I should search for them before seeing their mails.

I simply Google for them and the results appear immediately. George McCullum is a scientist from NASA!

"What?!?!"

Robert Hale is part of military.

"What?!?!"

Other information about this person is confidential- the search says.

Why are these people mailing me?

What do they want?

I come back to my inbox and decide to go through their mails.

Dear Miss Mallika,

I know you must be really confused right now, I understand but it's crucial for you to know that only you can help us, help humanity.
There's going to be an invasion on Earth pretty soon. We really need your help. Time is very important.
