I drove home in silence, billions of thoughts racing through my mind. The one that haunted me the most was the fact that someone hated my friends enough to kill them. My head started pounding from all the thoughts and ideas, and I had to pull over for some fresh air. I sat down on the dry grass, put my head in my hands and silently cried. Clear, salty tears ran down my face and landed with a plop onto the grass.
"You right miss/mr?" A man in a brown ute asked me as he drove past
"Yea, I'm fine." I replied, giving a weak smile. He waved as he disappeared into the distance. I climbed into Dad's car and continued driving home, the odd tear falling down my face.
After I parked the car and put the keys on the hook by the door, I clambered into my bed, emerging myself with the (F/C) duvet cover I fell into a dreamless sleep
Beep beep beep beep
I groaned as I rolled over. I slammed my hand onto the snooze button and glanced at the time. Shit! It's 8:30! I scrambled out of bed, quickly changing into my uniform, pulling my socks up as I ran down the stairs. I quickly wolfed down a piece of toast, brushed my teeth, grabbed my bag and lunch.
"Bye Dad!" I yelled, putting on my black shoes that sat by the door
"See you after school (N/N)!" He called back
I ran down the street to the bus stop, where Kairi and I met.
"You're late." Kairi huffed
"My alarm went off late!" I groaned
"Well never mind that now, we gotta get a move on!" She giggled
How can she go from being pissed off one minute to being a giggly school girl the next?
"Hey wait up!" I called, running up to catch up to her
"Well get a move on slowpoke!" She called back
"It's on!"
We arrived at school just as the bell rang!
"Looksie who lost... again." Kairi said smirking
"Well, you got a head start!"
"I gotta go to class. See ya!" She waved
I waved back, running off to my class. Unfortunately, I've got Miss. Lincoln first period for Art. She's a grumpy old hag, always telling us off for even the slightest things, and when you work it has to be dead silent. I swear her favourite pass time is giving students detention.
"You're late." She growled at me as I arrived to class
"Sorry Miss, my alarm didn't-"
"Don't give me an excuse! Detention after school!" She said furiously "Well don't dawdle in the hallway! Sit!"
I quietly sat down. The rest of the period was just painting a leaf. I concentrated really hard, and got all the lines and colours right, except it looked bland, so I added it to a stalk, several more leaves and a little boy sitting on a leaf.
"And what is this Miss (L/N)?!" Miss Lincoln yelled, staring at me through her thick, black glasses
"It's my art." I said, looking down. I really screwed up this time
"I asked you to draw a leaf! A simple leaf! Not Jack and the Beanstalk!" She yelled at me, and I could practically feel the anger radiating off her
"I'm sorry Miss." I could feel more detention coming
"Well sorry isn't going to cut it! Extra half hour of detention after school!"
I bit my tongue, not wanting to retaliate and earn more detention, Only an extra half hour? She must be feeling generous. Usually it's an extra hour. unless she knows I work now. I don't know. Whoopie! Saved by the bell!
We all rushed out the doors, finally free from Miss. Lincolns iron fist.
"Miss. (L/N), come here now!" Speak of the devil
I reluctantly walked over, getting sympathetic looks from my classmates.
"Miss (L/N), your painting was very... unique. I am astonished by your use of creativity."
I stood there, gobsmacked. This was Miss. Lincoln, or was it her nicer long-lost twin sister. Yea, probably not the long-lost twin sister one (Y/N).
"You... like it?" I asked, showing surprise in my voice "But you gave me detention for it."
"The extra half hour is for private art lessons... if you want them, that is?"
"Miss, I really would, but I have to get ready for work. I start work at 12 and finish at 6, so any extra sleeping time I can get, I take. I'm really sorry." I replied, bowing my head
"It's fine. I understand completly. Now get to class." She barked. Miss. Lincoln was definitely still herself.
~~~~Time Skip to Lunch~~~~
"She said what now?" Kairi asked in utter shock
"I know! The weirdest thing is that she said it without any snide remark or sarcasm." I exclaimed, taking a sip from my water
"That's sooooo weird!" Kairi giggled
"What happened to you?" I asked
"Hmmm, boys made eyes at me, yada yada yada, and that's about it." She said, rolling her blue eyes
I giggled "Well what boy wouldn't?"
"Mmhmm." She said, only half paying attention
~~~~Time Skip to 11:57 pm~~~~
Ugh, detention's the worst! My hand has got terrible cramps from writing the same line over and over and over. Dad was furious when I told him over the phone that I had detention and I was almost late for work. All I wanna do is sleep, but I gotta see the guys to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
Ding dong ding dong, ding dong ding dong, ding dong ding dong
Where is there even a grandfather clock? Screw logic I guess.
"You came back!" A feminine voice squealed
"Of course I did!" I exclaimed
I was tackled in a hug by Chica. I hugged back.
"I missed you." She mumbled into my hair
"I missed you too!" I giggled
"You gotta see Freddy! And Foxy! And Bonnie! And Goldie!" I laughed
"Alright, give me a second."
Chica dragged me out to the show stage. Bonnie and Freddy were in human form.
"You came back!" Bonnie said
He still acted younger that what he really was. I giggled
"Told you she would!" Chica said
"What's all the commotion?" A voice rang out, coming from Pirate's Cove.
"Just come here!" Freddy yelled back
"Argh, I be coming!" He hollered
"And come out human!" Bonnie added
I boy around Freddy's age walked out from behind the purple star curtains. He wasn't tan or pale, his eyes were bright yellow, and crimson hair fell into them. He wore a loose beige shirt, black shorts, a crimson sash tied around them and mid-thigh high brown boots. He looked human, except for his hands, one metallic silver, the other one was a hook.
"(Y/N)? Are ye three pulling me leg?" He tilted his head to one side
I cut him off by engulfing him in a hug
"Ye really are here lass."
"Of course I am!"
"Have ye seen Goldie?" He asked
"Not yet." I sighed. I'd never say it out loud, but he was who I wanted to see the most. He was my best friend, my first friend!
"Follow me you four." Freddy said
We followed after Freddy.
"Is he still the same?" I whispered to Bonnie
"Sorta." He whispered back
I nodded. We followed him to a room under the show stage.
"Goldie?" Freddy called out "There's someone here who wants to see you."
"Who?" Goldie asked
"The Night Watch." Freddy
"No."
"Goldie come here!" Freddy said sternly
Goldie grunted and walked over
"What?" He snapped
"Bonnie, Foxy, Chica and I are going to leave and leave you here with your guest." Freddy beckoned for the others to follow
I stood there awkwardly, shuffling my feet together
"Hi?" I said, more of a question than a statement
I was cut off my a warm hug. I could feel tears falling into my hair. I hugged him back, crying as well
"God we're pathetic, aren't we?" Goldie chuckled nervously
"Yeeeeea."
He let me go, his eyes all red and puffy. Now that I could see his face, he looked the same. Same gold hair, same pale skin, but his eyes were red, not the blue I was used to.
"I missed you." I said
"Me too."
Ding dong ding dong, ding dong
We the hell is that grandfather clock?!?!
"See you tomorrow?" He nervously scratched the back of his neck
"Of course! I work here!"
I drove home that night with a goofy smile on my face.
