Although thanks to their late night talk, Shane was able to settle the argument he had had with Bianca, that didn't change that he basically didn't get any sleep at all, since they both had to rush back home and get ready to school. "How you are up now is beyond me" he grumbled as he nuzzled his head in the make-shift pillow that he was trying to make with his arms, not listening to a word the teacher was saying, like always. Bianca, on the other hand was wide awake and calmly sketching something on her notebook "I am used to not sleep much, so it doesn't affect me too a lot anyway" Shane smirked at the yawn that occasionally escaped her mouth, proving that she was just try to act tough. "Want to ditch school and go back to bed?" "I wish! My dad put up cameras around the house, he'll notice if I come back early" she mumbled obviously annoyed. "You are the old one here" he hummed, getting interrupted by a yawn, which was soon followed by a punch "Ouch!" "Mind saying that again l

"Dude, you look like you've seen an alien, what happened?" Alex asked as he watched Shane stir his coffee for the past four minutes or so. He hadn't even added anything in it yet. "I just... have a lot on my mind at the moment" "About the aliens? Did they brainwash you?" Shane gave him a sarcastic look, letting out a sigh "I don't know who or what to believe anymore Alex. Mom and dad said they wanted to get rid of Angela in the past, but now dad comes up saying that he was faking it all along to protect us and didn't fight back because he's a coward. Then I start having these weird nightmares and Bianca thinks is my subconscious trying to warm me about something but I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT-" Alex shoved a muffin in his friend's mouth in an attempt to make him shut up "Eat, you're not yourself when you're hungry" he half meant that and half wanted to make fun of him. Shane shot him a glare in response, taking a bite and starting to munch on it, stopping as soon as he registered the t

'Another fire?' Onerios thought as he smelled smoke in the air 'We need to leave before it catches up' he climbed down from the cliff he had been standing, walking towards a small bush and using the light on his head to communicate with his siblings, telling them to stick close and follow him. They calmly popped out from the bush and stuck to his fur. He then walked the opposite direction from where he smelled the fire, crossing a few streams just to be safe. Mother taught him that the wind could change suddenly, ending up trapping him in a circle of fire, so he always made sure to put as much distance between him and that danger as possible. Onerios thought of travelling to a new part of the forest, or a new forest altogether, seeing how this one was burning down. 'It's not fire season yet though... a human probably lost control of their camp fire again' he sighed, heading north as his siblings made themselves comfortable in his fur, taking a nap. 'Look at these lazy little lights

"Y-you've gotta be kidding me..." Shane breathed out, dropping his coffee mug, causing it to shatter upon hitting the floor in his room. Shane was staring in awe at the screen of his computer, specifically, at the email that had just popped up in his inbox. An email from the people of the shady-ass offer from a while ago. He had sent them the finished product they requested, aka the virus, after a few days. Spending an excruciating long time bashing his head on the keyboard, fixing every little problem and making sure there was nothing wrong with it, he didn't want it to end up malfunctioning when they booted it up. Especially since, in case that did happen, he could very much end up having a bounty placed on him or a hitman that would come hunt him down. He wouldn't really feel safe walking his little sister to school if he knew that he basically had a target on his back. In fact, he reckoned he wouldn't feel safe setting foot out of his room at all. So, in order to avoid this dange

"And then I was like, bro, you do realize that I can find the same exact outfit you're selling like, down the road for 5 bucks less right? And you know what that fucker did? He banned me from the store! Like wft dude! I was just trying to teach you how business works!" she scoffed "Guess some people don't even have enough gray matter to put 2 and 2 together" 'How did I end up in this situation again?' Shane wondered as he picked up another wooden board, nailing to the wall with a hammer. "Anyway? How did it go? Did you and that alien obsessed freak reconcile?" She asked sarcastically. Bianca invited Shane to skip classes again to hang out in her tree-house, of course it was all an elaborate plan to trick him into fixing the shack while she stood by eating some crunchy chips and complaining about her daily life. The wood he was using wasn't even good one to begin with, it was just some random wood they found laying around, all drenched up and moldy. It was better than nothing to be
