I woke up the next morning, and got out of bed. My alarm hasn't went off yet cause its still 5:00am in the morning. "One more hour" I thought to myself. I made myself some hot cocoa and went to the top of the apartment building to watch the sunrise. I drank my cocoa there and watched in amazement on how the sun looked so beautiful. Then I remembered something. The letter. I have to follow on what the letter said in order to find out answers on why and how my eyes adjust to mist. I went back to my room and the alarm rang. I turned it off and took a nice and warm shower. I changed to outside clothes and my mom made some soup. Although I said I can just eat a sandwich, she insisted on eating the soup. So I felt extra warm today. It was 7:00am when I arrived at school. For the first time, I was NOT greeted by Birkwood and/or Clarisse. I was rather greeted by a friend. An arm wrapped around my shoulder and I looked to see Jade beside me. "Morning Mattheo!" she greeted happily. "Morning to you too Jade!" I replied. "What's our first period for today?" she asked. "Um...Science I think?" I answered. "Ok. Oh." "What?" I asked. "I kinda forgot where our Science classroom is" she answered. I laughed. I've never had a real friend before and it actually felt great. I never knew that someone like me would actually make friends. "I'll walk us there then." I offered. She smiled, her grey eyes shined like crystals again. "Lead the way Theo!" I blushed at the nickname. "Really? Theo huh? That's cute." "(laughs) Then can I call you Theo from now on?" she asked. "Yes" I replied. After 4 hours of classes lunch time finally came. I sat down at an available table and reserved a seat for Jade. I brought my own lunch with me while she lined up to buy her own. The line was kinda long but I waited for her patiently. I just opened the cover of my lunch and then a hand took my lunch box and threw the food to my face. Laughs and snickers were heard then I looked up and saw Clarisse. "Your 'girlfriend' is no longer here to save you Poor Socks!" she said with a sarcastic tone. "Ok for the record around here she's not my girlfriend." I answered back. "I don't care Poor Socks. Because of that dick, my baby Bryce is in hospital right now!!" she argued. "Oh My God! He ended up in the hospital!? I guess I might take lessons from Jade!" I thought to myself. "Serves him right! And don't call Jade a dick! She's much better than you and your plastic taste of makeup!" I argued back. Her expression became even more angrier. I thought she leaned back, but Jade showed up. She actually pulled Clarisse's hair back and she screamed in pain. "Bother Theo one more time you'll be joining your baby in the hospital." she warned and let go of Clarisse's hair. She and her gang went back to their seats with an annoyed look in their faces and Jade sat beside me. She bought me a sandwich, a slice of pizza and a box of orange juice. "Thanks" I said. "You're welcome" she replied. We just continued talking to each other while eating our food. She even asked me if Clarisse and Bryce are dating. I said no. Its just that Clarisse drools over Bryce and literally is one of his stupid fangirls. After lunch we continued with our classes and eventually went our separate ways after school. I stayed behind. I took out the letter in my backpack and followed what is said. "3rd sink mirror" I went to the boy's bathroom and went to the 3rd sink. I climbed in and entered my head in the mirror followed by my body. I found myself in a dark, creepy place filled with book shelves with books that has the same size, shape and color. Its the exact place I was in yesterday. Except its dark. Where are the torches in the room yesterday? Then a voice suddenly broke the silence.
"You did come after all." That dark, hollow voice. Michael O'laire. I turned my back and found him standing in front of me. His cousin, Dice O'laire then appeared out of nowhere. Michael snapped his fingers and the torches lit their fire on their own. I stepped back a little bit stumbled on a chair. I sat down. I just noticed today that even Michael and Dice our cousins, they don't look alike that much. Michael has golden locks and green eyes. As I said he looked like he's in his 20's but I still doubt it. Dice on the other hand has brown, straight hair and has brown eyes as well. He looks more of my age and a bit shorter than Michael. I kinda wondered why I didn't noticed this before. Probably I was to dizzy after getting hit by a baseball bat. "How old are you Michael?" I asked. He laughed. " Wow first question for me is how old am I. I'm 24 years old. Dice is 4 years younger than me. Surprised by the age and looks Duncan?" He replied and asked. "Don't flatter yourself Chael." Dice replied. "Chael? Nickname?" I asked again. "Smartass one aren't ya? Hehe I bet someone calls you Theo too am I right?" "You are but I'm not gonna tell you who calls me Theo. Anyway, you said you would explain to me how we are different from other people here." I replied. "We are but not here. Somewhere more....private." Dice said. He snapped his fingers just like Michael did and we went to another place.
