I opened my eyes a second before my alarm went off. Aw man... I thought with a sigh.
After dragging myself to school, I went to the nearest bathroom like I did the day before. The bathrooms were never that crowded in the mornings, but there was always a group of girls hiding on their phone, gossiping about what not. It was never clear to me why. I always guessed it became a trend for groups to sit and wait on their phones for the 10 minute period we have before the warning bell.
I did my thing, washed my hands, and adjusted my hair to make it go over my eye. I used some water as gel to keep it in place. After a long sigh, I turned around to be face to face with my old friend Kim. I never see her anymore. Or talk to her for that matter.
She has curly black hair, olive skin, wired glasses, and dark brown eyes. She always wore her thick yellow headband to keep her curls out of her face. Today, she was wearing a navy blue capris, a pink top, and a Jean jacket over her top. She had white Adidas as well. Kim glared at me and I stepped back an inch.
"Hey old friend..." I muttered, refusing to look her in the eye. Kim didn't reply. She just huffed and went to the sink next to me.
With that, I rolled my eyes and left the bathroom.
The bathroom was always the worst place for me to bump into someone like Kim. Unlike Dove who's been hating on me since I moved here, Kim was the only person who understood me. Then, something happened and she hated me as well. I haven't talked to her in about a year but all's well that ends well.
Now, I don't really have any friends. I know a few people, but they never really talk to me besides a wave and a hi every once in a while. School has never really been the best thing for me. That's why I always desire to go home. That's the joy of being me. You might be thinking, 'oh! You can be homeschooled!' But I don't want to bother my parents. I don't like school anyways.
So here I am now, walking through school, half blind because my hair is in my face. I should do something about how long it is. It would make me feel a lot better.
A little later now. I'm walking home. Jessie is a little far behind me on his phone. Now to business. I started thinking about some questions I can ask Matthew if he comes tonight. Like; why me when there are millions of people in the world? Why does getting knocked out help you learn what powers were passed down? How did you even learn this stuff!?
I sighed and looked around. I was getting close to the apartment. Jessie was catching up, still on the phone.
"Love you, bye." I heard him say. Jessie hung out and put his phone in his pocket. "What?" He asked, noticing I was staring at him.
"Since when did you have a girlfriend?" I asked with a giggle.
"Why? You don't have a boy yet? You jealous?"
"What!? No!" I rejected, tilting my head up in fiery. I hated when Jessie called me jealous. Especially when he thought I was jealous of him.
"Yeah you are!" Jessie teased.
"Son of a Banshee." I muttered under my breath. "Do you mind?"
"What? I don't speak lame." Jessie stuck his tongue out in my face.
"Stop it you jerk!" I said, walking faster.
"Huh?" He made an effort to stay right behind me.
"Ahh! Stop it Jess! You such a frickin jerk!" I turned around and pushed him as hard as I could. Jessie stumbled backwards and fell onto the concrete.
"Ow! Lilian! Since when did you push so hard."
"What? You mean you can't push me that hard?" I asked sarcastically. "You jealous?" I put my hands on my hips.
"You brat! Wait til mom finds out."
"Yeah right. You wouldn't dare tell her!" I yelled back.
Half an hour later I was in my room, in trouble.
"Ahhh!" I yelled as loud as I could. Mom came straight through the door as I did.
"Watch it young lady! You don't want to be in more trouble do you!?"
"No..." I muttered.
"Then you better be quiet. You pushed your brother so hard that he fractured his wrist when he fell on it." I was silent. "That's right. Now you better stay in here, or else."
"Where are you going?" I managed to ask.
"To CVS. Going to get a brace for your brother. Be good."
"Ok..." I said, putting my head down. Mom half shut the door before opening it again.
"Oh yeah, no dessert tonight."
I sighed and nodded. Mom shut the door with a clank from the knob. I rolled my eyes, took out my computer, and went to my desk. The keyboard clicked as I typed in the password. As the engine of mom's car started, there was a knock at the door.
I sighed. "What do you need Jessie?"
"Can you help me make some food?"
"When's dad going to be home? Can't he help you?" I rolled my eyes.
"Mom said he's not going to be here for another two and a half hours."
"Still at work?"
"Yeah." Jessie said is annoyance.
"Fine." I got up and opened the door to see Jessie holding his hurt arm to his lower chest area. I tan color bandage was wrapped around it tightly. "How's it feeling?" I led him downstairs. The sound of mom's car became loud, then got softer as she drove away.
"Alright. Hurts when I move it though."
"It's only natural."
Inside the kitchen, I got some left over orange chicken and rice from the fridge. I put some on a plate and heated it up in the microwave for a minute. A buzz came from it when I clicked start.
"Can you get yourself a drink?" I asked, wanting to go back to my computer.
"Yeah. I'm not a baby you know." my brother replied.
"Really? Because I just made some food for you." I paused as I started up the stairs. "And I didn't even get a thank you."
There was a mumble of frustration from Jessie. I rolled my eyes and shut the door to my room when I was inside.
An hour later, I had my purple headphones on, my computer showing me a slime youtube video made by one of my favorite youtubers; Gillian Bower. She was making a pastel smile pallet. An ad came up a minute later.
"Darn you-" I mumbled, but got interrupted by the sound of vehicles at the front. Is dad home early? I asked myself, pausing the video, and taking off my headphones. I got up from my seat and was about to look through my bedroom window, when I heard a knock, and the front door creaking open. There was silence for a moment.
"L-lily!" Jessie called. I noticed the nervousness of his voice.
"Jess?" I called, coming out of my room. I paused in the halway, waiting for a reply. "Jessie!?" I didn't get one. I skipped down the stairs by two and went to the living room. I was shocked when I saw 3 large men with matching white lab coats and grey pants. The largest of the men had Jessie, limp against his large arms. A needle was stabbed right into my brother's neck.
"What did you do?" I asked, a little frightened. The largest man nodded his head to me and the other two started walking towards me. "Leave me alone!" I yelled when the grabbed my forearms. The biggest man dropped Jessie to the ground and pulled the needle from his neck. Jessie fell to the ground with a thump.
"Jessie!" I called.
"Quiet, girl. You're coming with us." The man pointed the needle at me.
"No I'm not!" I yelled trying to shake myself free. The other two tightened their grip on me. "Leave me alone!" Tears gribbed against my skin, streaming down my cheeks and hanging on, down my neck. I pulled even harder, the man with the needle coming closer, ready to stab me like he did to Jessie. All I could do was close my eyes and wait.
