A NORMAL DAY IN MY LIFE.
It was a day like any other day in Shelladine City, the sun shined softly and a cozy breeze ran through the city, making this winter day one of the nicest this week.
It's a relief the day's nice, I have phys ed. and exercising when it's cold outside isn't my favorite hobby; plus our substitute teacher doesn't even care about the class, he simply throws the soccer ball and yells "play ball", meanwhile he sits down, takes a sip from his coffee and chats with our female classmates. So that basically takes off the fun and learning parts in that class.
But let's leave that aside, while hurrying all morning I almost forgot to put my sneakers in the backpack. My friend Eddie and myself were invited to some soccer games after school against another class, since they were our rivals from 2B it was going to be exciting. And speaking of school, I have to get going or I'll be late.
Axl-: Mom! My lunch is on the kitchen table right?
Mm-: Yes honey, I packed some extra for you friends!
Axl-: Thanks mom! they love your cooking, by the way where's Cecile?
Mm-: Daisy's mother came to pick your sister up a little earlier today, since she offered to take the girls to school, that's very kind of her.
Axl-: Oh come on, at least she could have woken me up, that way I wouldn't overslept. She better not ask me to help her with homework when I get home. I'm out of here!
I ran to my mom, she was at the dining table with little Maryann who was digging in to a Gerber. I hugged and kissed both of them on their foreheads, grabbed my lunch and ran out of home as fast as lightning. School was 15-20 minutes within walking distance, so if I ran at my top speed I should be able to make it in 10 min, "gotta go fast" I said to myself.
I can't believe Cecile couldn't even wake me up, how hard was it to give me a little punch or pull my sheets to the floor; she must have turned off the alarm and started with her routine. Meanwhile I slept 20 extra minutes, I have to admit it felt so good, but I'd be better if I wasn't paying them back right now.
Fortunately I was able to make it just in time, I had to dodge a few slow folks, an occasional jogger and a dog, and catch a breath from time to time, but I guess in the end, it was worth it. Prefect Yoany was at the gate when I arrived, she was just closing it. Being friends with here has it's advantages, she always knows stuff about the events and celebrations that will be done at our school, like the "day of the dead'', Halloween or the Christmas party, also she knows pretty well the days that the school takes off, and has one or two rumors about the teachers and students that can be useful. Besides that she's young and up to date with series and movies so talking to her it's nice and fun, it's not just about getting information or asking for favors, she really is a nice and fun person to "hangout" with. And it never hurts to have a prefect or teacher to back you up sometimes, especially for me since recently I have been getting in trouble with a guy named Lois, he's the type of person that always wants to be the center of attention and his best idea is to cause problems and getting in trouble. Yoani has helped me to get off the hook with just a few little warnings and without having to call my parents.
And it's inevitable to get pissed off by that Lois guy, these past weeks he's been pulling pranks and bullying my friend Serch, who's a timid person and does nothing against Lois, and that makes my blood boil with rage. I try to protect him, Lois strikes back, one thing goes to another and we end up fighting more than usual, worst part is that he's in our classroom and we have to stand him all day, everyday... Let's see if today we can get some peace and quiet for a change.
Luckily the morning went smoothly thanks to our class schedule, who knew two algebra classes were enough to keep some teenagers calm; but in between the class, there had to be a random bad joke, some whispering and discreet paper ball throwing courtesy of Lois and his "gang".
It was during recess that we had a little issue… Ed, Roman, Serch and me were finishing our lunch, when Lois and his friends walked up to us, they wanted to share our lunch (they just did that to piss off, I saw them buying food at the cafeteria earlier, someone had to set him straight).
Axl-: Man you like to piss off people, don´t you? Think I wouldn't notice that you already ate?.
Ls-: If we want your lunch, you give it to us, that's how this works.
Axl-:is that so smart-guy? How do you plan to take our lunch?.
Lois grabbed my shirt and barely lifted me up from the ground, then with a mocking smile on his face, he said:
Ls-: How about I take it this way?
I couldn't help showing a soft smile, all this troubles for food we already ate..,
Axl-: Wow, it's a very effective way indeed, but it´be better if we still had lunch left, right guys?
Ed, roman and Serch lifted up their lunchboxes and surprise! They were empty… Lois with his face red like a tomato shifted his gaze to me and gave a pissed off smile (i think i saw a vein popped up in his forehead). He likes to mock people but when the tables are turned around he can't handle it, that's what pisses me off.
Before he did, I pushed away Lois to avoid getting hit, almost instantly he returned the favor and i endep up on the ground. Moments later both groups were pushing each other and exchanging an occasional punch. The high pitched sound from the bell marked the end of recess, the shadow of a teacher at the end of the hallway caused everyone to scatter, so the “issue” didn´t get out of hand.
PT1: THE SOCCER GAME.
The rest of the day went by in the blink of an eye, there weren't many setbacks (except on phys ed. Where Louis made too many fouls to count). Anyway, after surviving long and life sucking classes, the school day came to an end. Everybody picked up their things and we agreed to meet outside of school in 10 minutes, in case anyone had something to do.
Once everyone was ready from both classrooms, we headed out to the soccer field. It was a 30 minute walk, Roman and Serch talked about a new rock song they saw in a recent action movie. Roman was a serious person, I think that's why he gets along so well with Serch, although despite being a reserved person, he was very brave too, many times he helped me defend myself against bullies, especially during the first year, a time when being new means you're at the bottom of the food chain adapting and moving forward is crucial. Being smaller didn't hold him back when it came to fighting, I saw him go head-to-head once with a seven foot tall senior who picked on him for being small and a little chubby, Roman's punches literally flew upward trying to reach the other guy's face, and yet somehow thanks to his agility, he managed to bring the other guy down, I don't know why he prefers to keep that same agility hidden from everyone else, guess it's better sometimes people not knowing how agile you are.
Serch on the other hand, wasn't the most brave person I knew, I mean he was the coward but his patience was really really gigantic, he didn't give a damn about the things and pranks Lois and his friends pulled on him, he seemed to apply the philosophy "if I don't give them importance then they'll eventually stop", but come on do you think that strategy is going to work on hollow minded teenagers?. Frankly I don't know if he would be able to defend himself, he seems robust and that he could stand a few punches, but that is precisely what plays against him... he's kind of slow and not the best of showing off physical habilities, plus Serch doesn't really like the idea of fighting, sometimes I think off him like a friendly giant (when we get on the buss, he has to crouch just a little in order to get through the door).
Anyhow while Roman and Serch talked about their stuff, Ed and I talked about dumb student worries… next week would be evaluation week, so projects, essays and tests would rain from the sky everyday. we were very much alike, both of us hated dealing with homework and essays but we got good grades even though we were lazy, we shared musical tastes Rock and pop,the occasional rap stuff, we were really good video game players and comic lovers (especially the superhero kind) and sometimes one or two television novels… I've known him since I was little he's my neighbor and like a brother to me, we have always been there for each other so you can guess who's in the dynamic duo in the soccer team we are the mid laners (mid fields however you want to call it) he's like a better version of me stronger, faster, smarter, and according to girls more handsome but I got better game the "jogo bonito" so I'll catch up to him eventually.
After I walk under the bright sun which asked midday made winter seemed like summer we arrived at the field. Both A and B groups started to form the star teams, those who weren't going to play, headed out to either to some wooden benches under the hugging shadow of some leafy trees, or sat on the fresh grass that covered the field. Ed and me were on the team, so we said our goodbyes to Serch and Roman, while they wished us luck.
Time went by, and the outcome wasn't promising for us…
Srch-:We are on the fourth game right?- asked Serch
Rmn-: Yes- answered Roman as a tired sigh came out- we're losing 2 on 1; and the team hasn't been able to tie this final game, they're two goals ahead.
Srch-: Everyone is almost out, four games in a row under this heat, we're even getting sunburns and there's a tree covering us, I can't imagine how Ed and Axel are doing. But since time is running out and the game is almost over, listen to me Roman, I need you to do something, he have to bring out the big guns and pull of one last struggle, you with me?
Rmn-: Your not saying?.. I'll go get Diane so she starts causing ruckus on group B, meanwhile you get our classmates ready, this is going to be exciting…
After some intense minutes, we managed to score a goal, by being in the center field, Ed and me were able to create scoring opportunities thanks to our synergy, however the other team had a very solid defense… Time was almost out, seven minutes? Maybe less to tie the game, I have to regain my breath more often, and my body is telling me "hey it's time to stop" but this feeling... sunk into the air, we as a team knew what was coming, it was now or never! Forward to the win!
Another goal was marked by our "star" player Lois, a.k.a "weasel", he just told near the goal waiting for an opportunity to seize. This time around he nailed a corner kick from Ed, with a shot so fierce, the goalie didn't even see it coming. After that little taste of hope, every minute closer to a tie, the team craved for a slice of victory on our plates.
Suddenly when Jony the enemy goalie kicked the ball to the center field, a voice rised upon the others, with a flaming spirit someone shouted:
???:-Winner takes all!!! Next team to score wins!!!-
It was Diane, her friends followed the commotion; our classmates took advantage of the situation and fired up the spirit: "Yeah! Winner takes all! No place for ties! Or what, you scared B class?!".
The challenge could be refused no more, so in light of the events, the rest of the B class gave in to the emotion and joined the fuss, they were led by Rocío; it was just for a brief moment, but a saw her… she looked so pretty with that cherry red ribbon on her night colored hair, and the little freckles on her cheeks had a soft red color hugging them, due to the sun exposure, I couldn't help to let out a gentle smile, the same that's shows up every time I see her.
And there I was, admiring her beauty in the middle of the game, when she caught my gaze and smiling she waved at me. Maybe it was my imagination but I think I heard her say "you can do it!" "Go for it!", That little detail of her made me forget about the fatigue my body has, and I kept on going.
Rocío and me started chatting before the winter vacation period arrived, thanks to a new social media website that was gaining popularity. I added her and we began to talk, everyday messages, the occasional phone call, picks of the things and events we did on Christmas and so on… stuff like that drove to us hanging out more when we returned to school, on recess I went to her classroom and we'd go to a bench to talk and eat our lunch together, sometimes at the end of the school day I stayed with her until her mom arrived, and when I had the chance I'd buy her a little something from the cafeteria. Each day I felt more inclined to asking her out on a date.
Seeing her supporting the team and me, made want to win the game more than ever. I wrapped up the fatigue from the previous games and with a fired up team hungry for victory, I marched forward.
PT2: SOCCER AND THE GIRL I LIKE.
Minutes drove away slow filled with tension, score opportunities we're everywhere made by two teams defense pointed your deadly fangs in order to protect the goal, turning the chances into mistakes… the strikers polished more their attacks to break the impenetrable wall planted by the defense, and the mid-laners ran more than any other player, creating opportunities to strike the goal.
One last chance came out from our goalie, the ball came flying towards to me and I barely managed to receive it right on the chest, then I ran forward as fast as I could, passing through the enemy team's mid-laners. Rushing through the pitch's right side and leaving behind two guys who were locked down on my position I managed to pull out a pass to the star striker, however i had so much inertia from running and turning my body to make the shot, I ended up on the ground
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
But it didn't matter, with Lois's "fire power" he would surely score for the team, however it seemed Mike, the only defense left in front of the goalkeeper had the same thought, so instead of trying to get the ball, he slid right to Lois's legs causing him to fall down… after pulling himself up our star attacker was doing what he did best: causing trouble, he pushed back and forth Mike arguing he slid into his legs on purpose, not aiming to get the ball just wanting to bring him down, a few punches were thrown and before we know it the two teams were mocking fighting each other; Ed and me didn't have a particular reason to fight, and we didn't like Lois very much but what Mike did was wrong and since we're part of the team... we joined Ruckus throughout some good old fashioned punches. Even the guys who were sitting down under the trees ran into the field and started knocking some sense into the other group. The so-called fight went down after 10 minutes... punches and kicks were thrown, people got bruised, insults flew from every direction. In the end we gave up because of the tiredness stocked after four consecutive games, and everyone started to go chat with their friends before leaving, others left right away.
Serch, Roman, Ed and me talked about the games, both teams were equally matched. Plus the all saw me fall down and laughed a little, myself included. Then the fight came into the conversation and we were surprised to realize it had been like bar fights from the movies. We laughed about how we lost, the foul Lois got (deep down I felt like he deserved it) and the bruises we got as reminders that the eternal rivalry between class A and B has far from ending.
As we were walking out of the field to try and see Rocío, even if I wasn't able to talk to her just seeing her smile before going home was good enough for me. My friends caught up on that and before I could do anything, Ed gave me a little push as Roman called out:- Rocío, someone's looking for you!
I wanted to be invisible, many teenagers looked around for who called out to Rocío, my face reddened up like a tomate as my dear friends patted my back and said:- this weekend some good movies are coming out, ask her out and tell us how it went… go get her tiger;)
I didn't have a chance to back down, she was already looking at us, so I took a deep breath, hoped the blush had gone away and walked to her. She gave her friends goodbyes and we strolled to a nearby bench covered in shade. The talk started out normally, Rocío was waiting for his mother to pick her up, they were going to have dinner at her aunt's house. She also told me about what they did on grouch #1 from Shelladine High, miss Belen, apparently they did homemade lipgloss out of crayons… I didn't know that was possible. Then we talked about the game, she liked the way I played, running back and forth, not getting tired (boy if she knew I was exhausted) and the fact that I was always trying to create opportunities for the team. She also worried when the fight started, took my arm and pointed a bruise there, while she scolded me (in a sweet way) about not getting into unnecessary trouble. I felt really happy knowing she cared about me and both of the teams, talking to her was so nice, I tried to make her laugh whenever I could … it felt as if my problems had been flushed away, during the entire chat I couldn't help to admire how beautiful she was, seeing her smile with those strawberry red lips, and fidget her hair from time to time.
The sound of a car engine getting closer indicated the talk had come to an end. Rocío got up and started walking to the car, while she and her mother waved goodbye at me. It was then that I realized… I didn't ask her out, I pictured my friends faces while making fun of me for chickening out, "¿You got scared little grasshopper? You still have much to learn… what is that? I think I hear a… bwak bwak bwak, a chicken hahaha… well guess baby tiger wasn't as fierce as I thought".
With that image in my head, I tightened my fists, took another deep breath and stood up and simply popped up the question.
Axl:- Rocío wait, umm… do you have any plans for the weekend?
She turned around, I felt a little pressure in my heart.
Rco:- Sunday I'm bussy, our family gathers every weekend to make dinner together… how about Saturday? What do you have in mind.
Axl:- I umm… there are good movies coming out this weekend maybe you'd like to see one, or the fair hasn't left, we could go on a ride there.
Rocío:- Sounds great, I really like going on the ferris wheel so let's try that. Meet you at the fair say at six?
Axl:- why yes! That sounds great! See you Saturday.
Rocío: I'm looking forward to it, text you later byeee.
With a gentle smile on her face, she got into her mom's car and left, and after a short while I left too.
HAPPINESS DRIVING AWAY AND THE MYSTERIOUS BOY
The fatigue was coming back to me, but that didn't stop me from walking happily through the streets, not everyday the girl you like accepts to go out with you. Good thing is I had a some money saved from my last job, I used to help my uncle with his carpenter workshop during summer vacations, I just hope it's enough to pull it off.
A small vibration in my right pocket derailed my train of thought, think it's a message, from who? I took my phone out and was surprised, it was from Diane…
✓ hey I know it's sudden but, could we hangout on Saturday? You know just like old times… popcorn, soda, some hotdogs? We could watch a movie, or an episode of that superhero series you like. Maybe even sing or play UNO at my house…✓
I just kept walking without replying, last time I went to her home it didn't end well (at least for me)
I have known Diane since we were in kindergarten but have lots of memories and photos together, but you know how growing up… people change, feelings start to appear and well long story short, I started to have feelings for her even though she was my best friend at that time. My friends and classmates started telling me ask her out, you got nothing to lose man she's totally into you, their arguments seemed quite convincing back then:
-" Dude she always stops by to see you, during her free time, before she goes to the cafeteria with her friends. She sits WITH you, on YOUR desk, in YOUR knees, oh my God how are you not seeing it Axel? She takes your hand sometimes and huggs you a lot, like seriously every time she sees you.
Remember that time we were playing soccer on Phys. Ed, your "girlfriend Diane" stepped into the field, slipped through our classmates and just when Roman passed the ball to you, we both know it, it was a perfect scissor kick that would've been a goal, but She stopped right in front of you, just to say hi and give you a hug… you succeeded in balancing back to avoid hitting her and fell down. You where an inch close to kicking her but did everything so she wasn't injured… now Axel, look us in the eyes and tell us, you think she doesn't have feelings for you? Do you feel something for her?
Anyhow, to avoid reopening the wound some more, I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend last time I went to her house, and well I got shot down and put into the friendzone. I tried to get some space, let time do it's work, but she didn't let me, she acted as charming and loving as always, and deep down I guessed that pissed me off, so I slowly pushed her away. My guess is that seeing me play today, reminded her about the times when she was my number one fan.
I wrote my reply:
✓ can't see you on Saturday, got a date with someone, maybe some other time✓
Diane… You and I… what could we have been?
A hustle down the street caught my attention, people were gathering around a departament building, smoke was coming out of it, sirens and lights covered the place.As i walk towards there to see if i could be of assistance, with all the ruckus i didn't notice someone hurrying towards me, unfortunately it was too late.
???:- MOVE!!! OUTTA THE WAY!!!-
A tall kid (maybe foreign by his accent) crashed in to me, as we fell down, i managed to get a glimpse of where this guy came out, it was a nearby ally, filled with trash cans and clothes hung up between departament buildings, it seemed like a normal ally, nothing to be scared of, however this kid had the crap scared out of him. Once on the ground, he was pushing me down to get up, punching, kicking and pulling me in a very clumsy way… so i had to put some sense into him, i slapped him on the face and said:
Axl:- Calm down! At this rate neither of us is going to stand up, so relax a little and get up nice and slowly.
???:- No, no, no, no, no, no ,no… it’s coming-
As i locked my eyes into his, and patted his shoulder to reassure him, i noticed how terrible the situation was, something scared this kid to death, i felt my heart sink into a pit. In order to understand the situation more, I needed to ask.
Axl:- Hey what happened? Should we go get some help? Go to a police office?
As i finished that sentence, the boy screamed… nobody seemed to heard it, i turned to look what was happening, something wrapped around his leg was pulling him back to the alley… he looked at me so desperate that tears fell down his cheeks, then he spoke quite angry:
???- This its your fault! help me! Shit!-
That something that had his leg, pulled him deeper, this kid grabbed my arm and I felt like it would break… his really was hurting me it was inhumanely strong, I tried pulling him out but whatever it was that had his leg was stronger than both of us, so our struggle was futile and we were pulled into an unknown place with some kind of imminent danger… I could only pray for help.
Once in the hallway I noticed that what dragged us were dark icy chains, still wrapped up in the odd boy's leg and right arm, who passed out from fear. Also something curious was happening, the sirens and all the ruckus from the street couldn't be heard inside here. So that's why nobody came to help us, it really is a problem, even if we cry out for help it likely that we won't be heard, I'm not sure if sound can escape from here.
The chains began to move, tingling and swinging from side to side, meaning something was coming, whatever was that brought him here... I was about to find out.
AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER
An ominous figure crawled from the end of the hallway, only the silhouette could be seen and a pair of glowing white eyes, he looked like a man.
The moment that Shadow appeared, the atmosphere changed; breathing became more difficult, cold sweat dripped from my forehead, and a chill ran down from my spine to deep within my body
That mist man started walking, with every step of his, my heart sank deeper into a pit… his steps were so heavy the alley echoed with sounds of a blacksmith forging something. Naturally that scared the cats and dogs that were in there, they started crying in a painful way, like someone was hurting them. The cats had their hair straight up and dogs here howling themselves to death, all of them were slowly retreating to the start of the hallway as the shadow approached us.
It was clear, we had to get out of there… My body trembled in fear and tried to get up, tumbling to the side after a few attempts, I stayed crouched,
Axl:- -----------------
I tried to tell the animals get behind me and let's go, but my speech was gone, not a single word came out, I touched my throat and tried to scream, anxiety and nervs were invading me, it felt like those horrible nightmares were someone is chasing you and you cry for help but nothing comes out. My breath became more agitated, and the sight was getting blurry… were those tears?
I wiped the tears off, and shifted my gaze to the shadow, his eyes locked on mine, it felt like I was staring at a void, they felt cold and were definitely hiding things. The feeling of staring at him felt uncomfortable so I turned to see if the boy who layed down on the ground had woken up.
The moment my gaze turned away from the shadow, it did something, he gave off a strange aura that settled down in the place… the animals screamed and trembled in fear as they ran away, a gust of wind hit my body and I tumbled to the ground,I felt an abnormal pressure over my body, as if I a wrecking ball pinned me down. After that thought I was having a heart attack, I couldn't pull in a single pinch of air, my heartbeat stopped for a moment, with more tears dripping from my eyes, a thought sank into my brain "I'm going to die!"
My body wasn't responding, I was in shock… what was it that man radiating? Some supernatural power or bloodlust? There wasn't time to find out, I sunk my nails into my leg to regain control over my body. The adrenaline pumping through every muscle helped me stand up; I looked to the guy who was still passed out on the ground, and then the light start of the hallway connecting to the street. "I can't let him hear on his own...maybe he'll die"... with that in mind I grabbed his arm started pulling him towards the entrance, we didn't get very far, not even 10 feet when the grip of the chains tightened, a soft chuckle echoed through the allyway as we were reeled back in, even deeper than before.
"No! no! no! at this rate we're not going to make it out of here!!! shit!!! Quick I need to… need to…
The idea was cut dry, as I saw nothing but darkness before me I understood that what's in front of me I said shifted my eyes up, I saw the black mist surrounding that figure...body went numb, every muscle lost it's strength...I thought I was going to piss myself. Talking to him was pointless, no sound came out of my throat plus it felt dry as a desert, making it hard to even swallow. As he scanned me with those snow white eyes, I imagine myself as a bug about to be stepped on.
"Mom… dad, I'm sorry...I ... I"
Surprisingly for me, the mist surrounding that mysterious person slowly faded away. A woman came out of it, I rubbed my eyes, how was this possible? Such a pretty lady coming out of a tough guy shadow… She had straight honey-brown hair, with a pair of charming aqua eyes and lightly tanned skin. Guess the mist guy was just a disguise (a very convincing one), she pulled out a hand radio from her trench black coat and spoke
‽‽‽:- hey Cook... Gen here, the target is secured, however we have a little issue… over.-
Ck:- what kind of issue?
Gn:- he's not alone.
Ck:- is he a threat?
Gn:- No he's just a kid, younger than the target. What do I do?
Ck:- how much did he see?
Gn:- I guess since I pulled our package into the alley, basically all of it, he saw me without the disguise. (Her voice sounded a little nervous on that last part)
Ck:- you dispelled the mist without thinking, didn't you?
Gen didn't respond the question. (Who was this woman? He scared the crap out of me moments ago, and here she was acting like nothing happened)
Ck:- well since it's your screwup, do whatever you want .
Gn:- it wasn't completely my fault, he didn't faint when I unraveled my bloodlust.
Ck:- now that's something you don't see everyday. Bring him with you, he could be useful on manual labors. But since it's you problem, you're gonna take him in.
Gn:- Great!- sighed Gen- I'll take care of it… ~think I found a new toy~... Over and out.
When I heard the part of being a toy, chills ran down my spine… what have I gotten into?
The women regain his look at me, this time a full smile showed in her face, and her eyes had an odd light in them.
Gn:- well hello there, what's your name kid?
I hesitated a little if telling my real name, but figured out if she checked my backpack then it wouldn't matter lying, so no point in hiding it. So I signaled Gen to tell her I couldn't speak.
She laughed softly and spoke
Gn:- how rude of me, let me fix it.
She clapped once and everything returned to normal, no pressure, feeling of dying, trouble breathing, they were all gone.
Axl:- ahhh? Ah! Hahahahaha, I can speak again!!! Yess!
It was then I noticed Gen's face was really close to mine, I felt nervous… this woman could kill me in the blink of an eye , but being so close to her, she looks real pretty.
Gn:- well, are you going to tell me your name? Or did the cat get your tongue?- said Gen between soft chuckles.
She was a totally different person just minutes ago, this was crazy… with a sour and nervous smile I answered the question.
Axl:- My name is Axel, what's your name Miss?
Looks like Gen liked the part where I called her Miss, I noticed a delicate smile on her face, it was clear as water she was older than me, but the question was how much? She looked quite young (maybe in her 20s or so)
Gn:- So your Axel, that's a nice name- answered Gen- your quite a case, not everyday is able to stand my bloodlust, my point proven is that Kid over there lying on the ground, you must have a strong spirit to not end up like that.
Axl:- not too strong- I answered nervously- truth be told, I thought I was going to die Miss Gen- a nervous laughter follow my answer.
Gn:- if you passed out, I'd probably killed you, but since you managed to keep it together, and since I like surprises… you got off the hook Axel.
After such notice, my body tensed up a bit… guess I'm lucky to be alive huh?, Well guess I'd better try to sneak out while I still can. So I slowly started to get up, then Gen suddenly said.
Gn:- oh yes! It's time to go Axel-
One of her chains released the Boy's leg and in an instant was wrapped around my torso. Gen moved his hand just above my head and said:
Gn: It's time to sleep Axel, tomorrow's gonna be a new day.
MEANWHILE AT HOME.
Mm:- Cecile, has your brother called?
Cc:- No mom… Why do you ask?
Mm:- it's already past 5 ó clock, it's getting late.
Cc:- today I hear that A class and B, were having some soccer games in a field near school, so he should be with Roman and the others, you know they stay chatting and lose track of time, Axel is probably on his way home.
Mm:- You're probably right, he must have lost track of time, and will arrive soon. Dinner will be ready in half an our, and your dad is on his way here, so we will be able to eat together as a family-
Cecile sent a text message
✓hurry up Axel, dinner is almost ready and mom is getting a little worries, I can hear it in her voice, so don't keep her waiting✓
