A normal life Fire
Shane let out a long sigh as soon as the meeting with the teachers was over. "God this things are a lot more tiring than I recalled them to be, thank fuck it's over" he looked around, searching for his 'Sisters'. He soon found them on the in the park in front of the school, enjoying themselves "Look at those little fucks, having fun while I do all the work" he shook his head, but there was no malice in his voice. "Come on you two, time to head home!" he called, waving his hand as he walked closer. "Fire" Shane turned around sharply, heart speeding up, eyes searching for the source of the voice he just heard. But found none surprisingly. He carefully scanned his surroundings, but there was no one close enough to speak to him. Then where did that voice come from? He was sure to have heard someone speak. 'Maybe I just imagined it?' he shrugged, dismissing the matter. "Ready to go?" she hummed with a slight smile, happy that he could finally go home and sleep. Although the two girl
A normal life Silent scream
Shane's parents were not happy to receive a call that informed them about what happened at Angela's school. Even less so when they learned that Shane went on the Parent's children encounter on their steed. "What in the world were you thinking?! You could have gotten yourself killed!" his mother scolded as they all sat in the living room. Well, all of them minus Angela, who has been grounded in her room for the time being. 'That's so unfair, she didn't do anything, all of this was my idea, not hers' he thought as he stared at the carpet in front of him, preferring that to his parent's angry gaze. Not that he was scared of them of course, but he was 99% sure that if they were to meet eyes he would end up beating the shit out of them out of anger. As their rambling went on, Shane's mind wondered elsewhere, asking questions that only now that everything was over, started forming in his mind. 'Now that I think about it, how did that fire even start? And how did it become so big in such
A normal life Teddy bear
Shane got startled awake by the ringtone of his phone. He groaned, recognizing it as not the one he had set as an alarm. He begrudgingly reached out and answered without looking who it was. 'There's only one fucker who would call me this early in the morning' "Hey Shane! Guess what?" 'Point made' "Alex is-" he gave his watch a glance "4:50 in the morning, what do you want?" after what happened yesterday he was not in the mood for anymore bullshit, especially his bullshit. "I found you a job!" he said excitedly "That's great see ya bye" and he hung up, falling back asleep. Although he didn't manage to catch many Z's, since his phone started ringing again a minute or two later. He angrily answered it "Alex I will punt you into the sun if you call me again, let me sleep" "But I-" "I. Don't. Care. For all I care you could have found the proof that aliens are real and I still would hung up on you. Let. Me. Sleep" he growled, making Alex sigh "Ok fine, I'll call you back later the-
A normal life Never trust an idiot to look for a job
While Shane and Bianca were messing around in detention, Shane's phone began to ring again. Bianca didn't mind at first, but when she noticed he was ignoring it too, she voiced her annoyance. "Your phone" she still kept her eyes on the random doodles she was sketching on her notebook "Yeah I know, I'm ignoring it" "Reason?" "It might be my parents" "And?" "If it's really then I might end up throwing the phone out of the window when I hear their voices" he seethed "Fair enough" she reached out to grab it, giving a quick glance at the caller "It's not your parents" "Who is it then?" "Dunno, you saved them as 'Crazy-ass conspirator' with an alien emoji next to it" Shane groaned "That's Alex then" "Isn't he the friend you kept mentioning when we first met? I think your sister said he's your only friend" she teased, making him flinch "That's not... ok fine he's actually my only friend, but still!" he snatched the phone back, scoffing as he answered. "What?" he asked annoyed "Well
A normal life Just a dream
"Shane?" Angela called, tugging his sleeve as they walked to school "Yes?" "Are you ok?" he raised an eyebrow "I am... why are you asking?" "You seemed a bit... out if it today" "What do you mean?" "Well, first of, you put salt instead of sugar in dad's coffee this morning" Shane will never tell her that it wasn't an accident... because he 100% did that intentionally. A little personal revenge for what him and his mom said the other day if you wanted to say. "Second, you forgot to grab your backpack" He flinched, reflexively reaching out for it and noticing that he did in fact, forgot to bring his backpack "Oh fu-" Angela poked him, making him notice that she had it in her hands, having grabbed it for him. She handed it out with a sarcastic look "And third, you have to be beyond blind to not notice I had your stuff all along" Shane felt really embarrassed as he took his own backpack from his little sister, awkwardly swinging it on his back. It's not like it was heavy for her a
A normal life Just a dream... or is it?
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
A normal life Second chances
Walking back home, Shane's mind was filled with an endless flow of question. What was that weird dream about? Why did it feel so real? What was that strange black fog? What about that monster that chased him and... who is Sebastian? "Sebastian..." he mumbled, his attention focused on following the cracks on the sidewalk, their wriggly and uneven course helping him keep his mind busy, even though it was just a little bit. He felt like he knew that kid but... for some reason he couldn't remember... why couldn't he remember? "Maybe I was too young? But no matter how young I was I reckon I would remember a beast like that, it was traumatizing just to watch it!" What happened to that kid? What happened to him? Where were they? He couldn't recognize the surroundings in his dreams at all, why couldn't he? Even though Shane sucked at learning school stuff, he had a flawless memory when it came to direction and memorizing places. That's why he almost never got lost, it was enough for him
A normal life Panic attack
"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
