“KIYA” MY MOTHER SCREAMED, She screamed so loud it made me jump out of my bed. As soon as I got up, I understood the assignment and got ready for hell. It’s normally known as a school but I like to call it with words that actually describe it. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror for about 5 minutes straight. And my mother yelled again “KIYA IF YOU’RE LOOKING IN THAT STUPID MIRROR AGAIN I WOULD COME UP AND DRAG YOU TO SCHOOL MYSELF” She actually knows me pretty well.I Started my daily routine, Like writing curses and roasting every single Kid that bullied Seyon in my notebook. Seyon is my only friend and I’m pretty sure I’m his only friend too. I slowly got dressed in my oversize shirt that was white and had a thunder blade logo, my finger less gloves, and my new shorts I got yesterday. Adding my favorite black headband that Seyon got me, i live near a bus-station it takes about 10-15 minutes to get to that school of mine.
I wore my shoes and grabbed my backpack, and took off to school. I Thought i’d rather walk to school, “ but if I don’t take the bus, kids would probably bully Seyon again” I thought to myself. “Still even if I take the bus they would still talk trash” I thought again.
Well as i was deciding whether to take bus or walk, I saw Seyon jaywalking the road. He was coming towards me, smiling and waving his hand. He loved black, he was wearing baggy trip pants, with a turtleneck short sleeved shirt.
Well he wasn’t ugly or something, but you know, it’s just that only dudes would bully him, Jealousy? or did they envy him?.Well the teachers weren’t less, they didn’t scold seyon or anything,
they’ll just be giving cold stares or Scoffing and rolling their eyes. Which would give Seyon goosebumps, I mean if he wears black doesn’t mean he’s not human,
if you ask others why they’re being judge mental they would always say “it looks like he’s at a funeral” or even worse “he wants attention” Anyways me and Seyon were walking the roads,
and me at the time was talking about, how much “i want there to be a fire at our school, or i wish that the Spanish king had sued Mrs.Carlos and deported her out of Spain”
“pfft- Alright but she didn’t do anything bad it’s actually your fault you’re the one who doesn’t like math” Seyon giggled.“BULL’S EYE! It’s not like I wanna be a mathematician” I replied.
As we reached, Everything seemed strange, Police cars and Ambulances were parked around the road, Those mental-case kids were whispering and some were even crying their eyes out.
A cop came over and asked “ Hello- Are you both students at this school?” he asked “ if you are please come with us, we need to evacuate all the students” “no my apologies, it might have seemed we’re students here.
but we actually are from another school due to some circumstances” said Seyon ‘‘This Dude’s a total crackerjack-’’ I thought to myself, but then I started giggling.The cop left, suspiciously staring at me.
Seyon dragged me away, yelling how dumb I was to giggle when he almost had the matter in his hands.
Suddenly a notification chimed in, it was from mum, written in big words: “HURRY BACK, QUICKLY, THE BACKDOOR IS OPEN”I texted back: “ Ma, what do you mean? I can’t, i’m with Seyon and he’s hurt” (i lied to her, because i wanted to hang out with seyon)
Her text appeared again: “ SON, ARE YOU BITTEN BY ANY CHANCE..?” As soon as I saw the text I hurried and texted her again.
“MA, WHAT’S GOING ON?! I’M ON MY WAY.” Meanwhile Seyon stayed Patient and wondered what was going on. Then all of a sudden some sort of Imbeciles started running.
behind them was another load of maniacs chasing after them.I quickly realized what was going on, IT’S WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK WASN’T IT?.
But Shouldn’t there be soldiers, the army.? I didn’t have time to think about it, so i grabbed Seyon and ran as fast as I could, I was Running towards the bus-station, basically dragging him by his thumb finger.
when we got there we both we’re huffing, barely catching some air, “what was that- tell me-” Seyon asked practically breathless, “I’ll explain it to you later” i replied, still huffing. As i replied to him.
Strange noises were coming behind us, it sounded as if these sounds were coming only down street street 27, I quickly grabbed Seyon again and kept dragging him till we reached home, i ran towards our garden.
quickly opened the backdoor and pushed Seyon inside, then jumped in too, i was on the floor pushing the door with my legs. My mother rushed downstairs with a knife, defending herself.
“Oh KIYA oh, i was so scared-” she claimed.As she stepped forward and squeezed me.“Ma..ma can you explain what’s happening out there?” I questioned.“Oh…baby- i’ll show you the news” my mother Answered.“Seyon dear..are you alright?” -mom asked.
Seyon had a frightened look on his face “ What are those things out there-” completely ignoring mom’s question. “Oh dear…i’ll get you some water” Mom went to the kitchen-
and I was standing there watching my one and only friend in the living room, he was shivering.
I guess he saw them. Now I knew what was wrong, so I went up to him and cracked up a joke. “ do you know if you get stabbed by a robber, there’s a way you won’t die, ask why?” I asked.
“I ... .uh..don’t know” he replied. “You won’t die if you’re in the -living room-” i answered He isn’t the funny type i guess- because he gave me one of his *i’m fine (but not really) face*I mean I tried my best-...-I went up to my room, and tried looking for any blanket Seyon could use.
Meanwhile my mother gave Seyon loads of snacks to kill his hunger. My father, why isn't he here? where was he? My mom and dad live separately not because they’re divorced or anything.
it’s because my father works far-away, his lab is in the city but it’s a 3 hour drive and my father loves his job, he’s a scientist, pretty cool huh?.
I went down and asked my mother where he was. She replied “he went out to get you but when you both came back, he texted me “ I think kiya has been evacuated by the police.
don’t text me back, i’m working and i will check with the police” I guess they both were calm- in the middle of an apocalypse, i don’t understand adults.
when i was eating some of the snacks mom gave to Seyon, the lights blacked out, mom quickly reacted “lock the door and windows, also close the window in the storage room, i’m going to the basement” she ordered As she went down.
I quickly locked all the doors and windows” I could see the weird creatures who’d lure outside through the peephole on our entrance door. Seyon was clutching my hand as I was peeping out the hole. I guess that was his way of saying * hurry up, what about the storage room widow-?* So I ended the peeping and went to the storage room.
I sensed a tension between the room, i gulped and calmly held Seyon behind me, i’m pretty sure he was worried too, the expression on his face was killing me, i strolled slowly and took a barbecue fork, as i suspected.
it was one of the creatures, As it growled i poked the barbecue fork in its eyes, and threw him down, as i was destroying its face, Seyon took the chance and shut the windows tight, then rolled down the Venetian blinds.
Oh crap, the smell of blood lurked in the storage room, The lights flashed back, I rushed back to mom and Seyon followed. “MOM” I yelled and showed her the corpse that was lying dead. My mom disposed of it and made food for us.
but dad still hadn’t come back. Mom started to worry, while I was calling his number, we heard a sudden knock on the door. I panicked my way there, quickly peeking to see if it’s dad, “A POLICEMAN?” I Screamed, Mum rushed there and shoved me to the side.
“What’s going on” I asked.“Shh…be quiet” Seyon claimed.“What are you?, a genius.?” I chuckled. It was supposed to be a compliment!, but he gave me a stare, as we stood behind mom, mum opened the door and the policeman ordered
“ Hurry up to the car, we’re evacuating survivors’ ′ as he held a grip on my arm, I looked back to my mom who was securing Seyon’s side.
As we got inside the car, I rushed to mom’s side and cuddled her as tight as I could.
