The Hood

Intro

"Get up."

I open my eyes to see Tara staring at me.

"Tell me where they are."

I laughed, and sat up, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand. "Sorry, I was tired." She shook my shoulders. "ARE YOU UP NOW? THE SITUATION IS DIRE. HUMANITY WILL DIE IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE."

I got up, and walked into the kitchen, checking behind me to see if Tara was following me. "They're right here!" I said, holding up the package of Oreos above my head. She squealed, grabbing the package and taking off into the living room.

I looked at the mirror above the sink. I put my light brown hair up in a ponytail. I followed a loose strand of hair down my face, until I realized my grey eyes were just staring at me. Wow, I manage to make myself feel awkward.

I sat down on the couch as Tara held the remote, her eager eyes waiting. "Come on!! We'll miss it because of you!!" She hit play as her favorite show came on, Judged and Judgeder. Finally, after an hour of crying, laughing and gasping, Tara went home. After I closed the door, I stretched, and went up to the room.

I called it the room because the house only had one. This is where my sister slept, and where I had my clothes. I snatched a blanket off the bed and laid down on the couch, barely fitting my 16 year old 5'6" self on it. I pulled the blanket over, then softly drifted to sleep.

-Next day-

I looked at the time from the couch. 5:30. I groaned, then rolled off of the couch and walked into the kitchen. I pulled out a piece of bread and stuck it in the toaster, then I had the most terrifying minute in my life. I sat there eagerly waiting for the toast to come- AH CRAP! The toaster got me again. I quickly ate the toast, then quietly snuck into the room.

I pulled out a red t-shirt, a black hoodie and a pair of jeans. I got dressed, then headed back into the living room. Picking up my navy blue backpack, I headed out the door, and took a right.

The bus stop was only at the end of the road, and it was only 6:04. The bus doesn't come until 6:30. Then, I see a black bun come up from the hill, and Tara appear. "You look a little tan." She said spitting out laughter. "No, I'm the palest tan person you know." We kept talking until the bus came then OFF TO SCHOOL!

-After school-

I stand outside of the school, and look to find Tara. She's talking to her friends again. I start walking to a little town center shopping thingy, it's like a downtown but not.

I walk up to Annie's Little Dance, and open the door. The receptionist looks at me, then looks back down and says, "You're to old to be here." I rocked from my heel to my toes, and almost spoke when my sister came out. "Your here. Took you long enough. Here." She went back into the studio and I looked down at my hand.

A shopping list.

Great.

I left the studio and walked across the street to the grocery store. After obtaining the groceries, I took the public bus back to the housing area, and walked home from there.

Arriving home, the door was my greatest obstacle. First, I tried using the force, then my foot. Ultimately I just had to put the groceries down then open the door, but that wasn't as much fun.

After putting the groceries away I left the house, pulling my hood up and walked back to the bus stop. I sat down, and then the strangest thing happened. A man sat down next to me, but he had on a suit and tie, with nice dress shoes. We both boarded the bus, and he sat next to me.

I looked out the window, but kept an eye on his reflection, in case he moved. When we reached the city, no real name just the city as I called it, I stood up, and he let me out. I waited a bit after getting off, but the bus drove away with the strange man on it.

I was walking down the sidewalk when I felt an arm grab mine, and it pulled me into the alley. Suddenly, a multitude of people were around me, like a ton of different people from different places, and their fists were drawn.

Oh for Christ sakes.
