Chapter 4: Tangent

On his way to school Evan was deaf to those around him due to the thoughts that overwhelmed his mind “What am I going to say? I wonder who Mr. Adrian really is? Could he really be god?” So as the mechanical like thoughts of the people around him worked away, Evans was in a floating vacuum of space with open eyes to the defiance that that rules of existence seemed to portray in contrast to how the universe was “supposed” to work.

The bus pulled up to Evans school and the snow slowly melted outside the window, with the sun glistening over the white powder Evan was left with only a single thought “Will this ever be the same?”, not referring to any particular moment in time nor any object in mind.

Finally Evan was walking towards philosophy through the crowds of people pushing him back. It was all moving in slow motion for Evan as the people of his school rushed around trying to get to class, with the teachers pushing past the kids to get to class.

Looking around Even saw the categories everyone had been placed in and how crazy it was they accepted it as who they were, THEIR life dictated by others. all the clicks of “band kids”, “nerds”, “jocks”, “stoners”, “foreign exchange students”, “techies”, “geeks”, and everyone else all just living by the society's standards. Evan saw himself as none of these people, he associated himself with the quiet kids who you would never had know existed if they weren't forced to go to school.

Evan realizing he had sidetracked himself refocused his attention to getting to class as fast as possible. Suddenly his friend drake appeared out of nowhere and stood quietly staring at Evan. Confused and eager to get to class Evan asked what his friend wanted and got in reply “This world will never be the same for you if you choose to truly learn the truth. It never truly fully reveals itself you know? The truth I mean, it never really ends. Always a truth to be discovered and a lie to be uncovered.” And with that he walked away.

Evan was as confused as he had been for the past break and it frustrated him not knowing what it was he knew existed. Evan was now more motivated then ever to find whatever it was that was affecting the entire world around him.

Finally nearing the door into the classroom Evan was forced to pause, “Last chance man! It's now or never, am I really ready for whatever madness awaits for me if I choose to find out what's going on?” but as before Evan was engulfed in the mystery of whatever it was that surrounded him. The door was opened and it was time to learn what it was Evan had been living through for the past few weeks. He saw Adrian standing across the room talking to a student and a shudder went through Evan, The memory of the last time he had seen Adrian was too real but yet in a fantasy with only the words “I’m god” being prominent.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Turning around Adrian's eyes stared directly at Evan, speaking as they had before without any sound being made. Adrian walked up to Evan and stated “I'm glad to see you again, you might have some questions. I can tell you everyth… No, not everything, but definitely something. Just stay in class after the bell rings and maybe I can answer at least some of your questions.” And again with the smile and just walking away as before.

Evan sat through class not hearing a sound around him but only focusing on the teacher and trying to figure out who he truly was. Finally the bell rang and everyone got up except Evan, he was more then ready for a long awaited explanation.

After everyone stored out the class only Evan and Adrian were left to look at each other. Finally Evan got up and walked over to Adrian and asked “All right, obviously you know something about everything weird that's been happening to me lately. So I want to know what's going on and I want to know why my friend came to warn me of something I doubt he even knew about.” Adrian just stood there looking at Evan with a look of curiosity and eventually he said “To answer your second question I sent your friend to warn you. As for your first question, that might be a little bit more difficult to explain.”

“Before I tell you anything I have to warn you you can't just forget something as big as what I might tell you. You may want to forget but let me tell you, you can't.” And with that Evan was outraged “YOU CAN'T GO TELL SOMEONE YOU'R GOD AND LET THEM SEE ITEMS FLOAT AND FREAKING MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GOING CRAZY AND THEN TELL THEM NOT TO WANT AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON!” Taking a breath Evan regained his usual self  “Can you please just tell me why the world's going crazy, and if you can't do that then at least tell me i'm the crazy one here.”

Adrian didn't look stunned at all and replied in his usual monotone voice with “All right, let's learn why your not the crazy one.”
