Differences

Ollie Green

"You guys are probably wondering who I am. A boy? A girl? Well, I'm neither. I'm a person. Thats all you need to know I guess. Well anyway we have to get on with the story so you guys don't click out of this," They say as they look at you once more, "What? I may be unimportant in this world but I can break the fourth wall too!" They joke, looking up from their white laptop to make sure no one else is there. They're in a bedroom; the walls are dark grey and the carpet is a navy blue. They're sitting on a black sheeted bed with white pillows. They went on typing again once they were clear. "Well, I'll be known as... the narrator for now on! Anyway, lets get to it!" They say, snapping their fingers.

All of a sudden the setting around the two of you changes into a park. The narrator grew a disgusted look on their face.

"Ew, nature," They say as they look around. They saw a girl. She was mid-sized in both height and a bit more in bust and weight. A blue shirt that slid off one of her shoulders cover her torso as her blue jean shorts compliment her necklace. Her necklace is a black string with a golden ring on it and on the ring is an amethyst. The narrator glows with happiness. "That's her! She will be the person you help first! Also, don't read her story if you're sensitive to rape or sexual harassment. Because! Well, you've been warned." The narrator smiles as they shoot up with a thought. "Oh! And for this story you'll be Ollie Green's best friend. Ollie is that girl over there by the way if you haven't caught on yet. So basically, you'll help her through this story and then we can move to the next person! I'll give you a heads up when the narration changes!" They explain,
"Now all we need is you!" They say, "Your name will be...." They pause, thinking for a second, "Corbin Reed!" They snap their fingers, "You'll be Corbin Reed from now on and you are a boy. Be sure to help her out. The problems that'll happen haven't happened yet. You'll have to prevent them. Their future rests in your hands so if you do anything wrong then you'll have to fix it!" The narrator smiles as they fall back into a portal that leads to who knows where. Your eyes widen, mentally groaning at their words. Why does this have to rest on MY hands and not anyone else's?! What is this world and why do I have to fix everything?! You kept shouting in your head.

"Goddamnit," You sigh, walking over where the narrator disappeared. Walking over, you glance over at her. She looks up from the dark colored journal in her hands. You sit down by her. Apparently you've startled her small figure.

"Whatcha writing?" You ask, slightly nervous. She smiles brightly at me.

"You want to see what I'm writing? Very well, darling!" She giggles with a slight accent, giving her notebook to you.  She already seems so trustworthy.

Greetings and salutations dear friend; Today was nice and I was able to get work done. Remember to get some eggs, Polaroid film and more Mountain Dew for Maytris!

You blink, looking at her. She laughs quite nervously.

"It's not that much. Just some random thoughts but hey! It's only the beginning of the day! Anyway, dear, what's your name?" She cheers, tapping the backpack that you didn't even notice was beside you.

"Ah, well my name is Corbin. Corbin Reed! What's yours?" You reply, nudging her.

"My name is Ollie! Ollie Green!" She smiles at me. She then glances over at a boy. He has brown hair and dark brown eyes. His skin is tan and he has a toned figure. He's tall. Taller than you and he looks fairly handsome. He looks, then waves, walking to us.

"Hey, babe!" He greets, picking Ollie up all cutesy like.

"Hi, Dylan!" She replies, kissing his lips before pulling away. He sets her down then pecks her cheek.

"Oh, who's this?" He says, slightly annoyed by your presence. You roll your eyes, already seeing the problem. He's a toxic person.

"This is Corbin, my new friend!" Ollie replies like a child.

"We're gonna be late, babe. Let's get to class," Dylan says, looking straight into my eyes. I smile politely at him. He then ignores my existence and slides his hand around Ollie's side.

"Well, anyway I'll be heading off. Here's my number, new friend! Maybe we can hang out later!" She giggles, taking her notebook out of your hands and scribbling something on it. She then rips it out of her notebook and hands it to you with a polite smile, "See you around!" She waves you off before walking away with her boyfriend. Suddenly, the narrator pops out of the tree, startling you. They actually looked like a human!

"Hey! That's mean!" They say, running their hand through their short brown hair. They had on a blue hoodie and dark jeans with red high tops. They put their arm over your shoulder, towering over you.

"So, what're you gonna do now?" The narrator asks. You look at them with a hint of fear.

"You want me to do something, do you?" You ask.

"That is correct-ah-moon-doh!" They smile innocently. They snap their fingers and you both land in front of a coffee shop.

"What're we-?" You we're cut off.

"Doing here?" They finish your sentence.

"Yeah. How'd you know-?" You were cut off again.

"What you were gonna say? I'll give you the answers once we get coffee.

Both you and the narrator are sitting down on a lounge couch in the café with coffee in your hands. You of course got your favorite drink and the narrator got a creamy sweet light coffee.

"So, Corbin," They smile innocently, stressing "your" name, "Ask away,"
