Chapter Four: Gear Up

January 20th, 2015: Yesterday was insane, super insane. I couldn't sleep at all, I was worried I'd have another nightmare or something. I sigh and get out of bed, finding some clothes and taking a quick shower.

After the shower I'd walk to school, the usual. Again, it took about fifteen minutes to get there. Nothing really too interesting happened, then I realized I never got to finish hanging up the posters yesterday. Right, I needed to do that. The bell rang and I went to my first class of the day.

Yet again, fast forward to lunch and I'm in the hallway again, except this time I noticed something, some idiots had ripped the posters off. Jerks. I spent about the whole lunch period putting up those posters. I got about seven up before I was caught by the faculty.

Mrs. Rose: "Hey, I find it sweet that you care about her so much, but could you please get some lunch? Here, I'll put them back up for you."

Mrs. Rose was honestly one of the kindest teachers ever, note that I may have had a little crush on her. How could I not? She was really pretty, and really nice to everyone. She was honestly just amazing. She had a husband though, and was too old for me anyways. Aside from that, when I nodded at her I just suddenly knew that Megan was there.

Me: "Right, thank you Mrs. Ro-"

Megan: "Come on loverboy, let's go. I need to talk to you."

My facial expression suddenly went from calm to embarrassed. She really had a big mouth didn't she? I nodded towards Megan and walked past Mrs. Rose, embarrassed of myself. The teacher didn't even know where to begin, she didn't say a word. Thanks, Megan.

Me: "Right, so what do you want to talk about Megan?"

She could see that I was still blushing from what had happened from before not too long ago. She simply just laughed it off and patted me on the back.

Megan: "Aw, did I embarrass you? Come on, she'll get over it!"

Me: "I guess so, but if you ever do that again I'll be sure to spill anything I know about you."

Megan: "Chill, she probably thinks I'm joking, everyone knows I like to joke a lot."

Me: "Hopefully so, so what is it you want to talk about?"

Megan: "So later today, we need to gear up."

Me: "What exactly do you mean by "gear up?"

She wouldn't have time to tell me, the bell had rung already. We needed to get to our classes.

Megan: "Alright, I'll see you later, partner."

Me: "Yeah, see you later Megan."


As I was walking to my fifth class, I was shoved by someone I didn't really recognize, but when I looked up I knew who it was instantly. Of course it was the "toughest" guy at the school, Tye Andrews. Standing at six feet five with a slim, fit figure, green eyes, white hair and pale skin. He had seen me with Megan, which I assume he thought was my girlfriend.

Tye: "Listen, you dating one of the smartest girls in school makes no sense. Back off, she's mine, buddy.

I wasn't really intimidated at all,...
