I remember...
The beeping of my video-gaming console had me consumed in its virtual world.
It was the first day of school...
And suddenly the screen went black, and the voices slowed and faded into silence.
The day my life changed forever...
And what broke that silence was something much worse than a simple video-game demon.
The day I met your mother.
"BUTTON MASH!" The tall creature yelled, standing near the black screen of the T.V. I shrunk back little and managed to nod my head. "Did you get any sleep last night?" She said firmly, almost tipping over into anger. I felt a lump in my throat... Probably one filled of regret. I knew I shouldn't have let my self continue onto the next level, then onto the next and so on! UGH! I was doing a mental face-palm.
"It depends what your definition of, uh, sleep is..." I said, pointing my finger towards the ceiling. I looked into my mother’s eyes and I saw the fire in them... What have I done! I had unleashed the devil upon myself.
I had managed to get to school in one piece. I couldn’t really say much about the walk here; I was playing my video game console.
I stood staring up at the menacing school, I watched as groups of friends slipped through the glass doors and into the school. I searched for the singulars, the rejects, and the outcasts. And saw there was none.
I started walking towards the school and when I entered, I saw organized chaos. I saw a bundle of teenagers, all strewn together. I saw kids, my age, run through the crowd with smiles stretched on their faces.
I couldn’t help but feel awkward, as if they all were staring at me. I shuffled my way around them and to my designated locker. I got it on orientation day yesterday. I opened it and emptied my buldging bag into the bland locker. I stuck up a picture I drew of my family, and a poster of Minecraft.
I was about to close my locker when the bell rang, I quickly grabed my books for English and off I went. I kept my head down, avoiding everything.
When I arrived, Ms. Cheerilee pulled me aside, saying something about introducing myself to the class. I stood in the front and stared at the ground. “Hi, I’m Button Mash and I’m 8 years old, and I love Video Games.” I looked up and everyone was smiling exept two girls, small for their age, but they looked so much older.
Ms. Cheerlee sent me to sit next to a small girl named Sweetie Belle. Her hair, which was a light pink and purple, like sweet candy, was tangled up, but it looked like she was made for it. She had eyes of a glimmering emerald. I looked over at her to see her staring at me, eyes wide.
I looked down at my book blushing slightly and tried to focus.
When I had sat down at my desk, I only had seconds to bear. I fixed my hair so it didn’t look like I just got out of bed. I forgot to brush my hair so it looked like a big poof of tangles. Ms. Cheerilee was introducing someone to the class but I wasn’t paying attention.
I stared out the window, that is, until a brown-haired boy sat down next to me, interrupting my view.
I saw his eyes glimmer for a split second as they met with mine. And I fell, not in love, I fell into a completely different world were everything was blue, with stars twickling around us.
I stared at him wide-eyed and he blushed a bit as he looked down at his book. I followed suit and tried to focus.
