[ P - Pre-Teen ]
He awoke in a bath of his own sweat, breathing really hard he sat up to see the sun lighting his window. He breathed and rubbed the sweat off his head and looked at the clock.
"Quarter past six. I going to be late for school if I don't hurry." He thought to himself as he ran to the bathroom. He got out and looked for his shirt to his uniform. Ever since these "gang members" starting fighting in the halls his school had to wear uniforms so they didn't know if they were opposing gang members.
He go to his school being only five minutes late and took off to his first class. He gave the teachers his pass and took his seat. He looked at his friend across the room and nodded to him recognizing he was there. He looked out the window and saw a bird. He looked at it until there was a bang on his desk and he looked up at the culprit.
"Is there something amusing outside that distracts you from your studies Matt?" The teacher asked him. Matt quickly shook his head and looked at his book that was in front of his. He looked like that until the bell rang and he took off into the hallway. He stopped to see his girlfriend Mary rushing up to him. Her best friend was right behind her dragging her boyfriend along too. Except that he didn't like to be dragged everywhere he went.
"Hey Matt!" Mary yelled with excitement as she hugged him.he exchanged it back as the 5'6" male looked at his girl who stood tall at 5'4". His best friend caught up to them and breathed heavy.
"Hey you guys hear what happen?" Matt's friend said to him. He was looking with a seriousness and fear in his eyes.
"WHAT ARE YOU THAT COOL NOT TO SAY HI TO YOUR OWN GIRLFRIEND AARON?" yelled at the top of her lungs to get the whole hallway to look at the quartet. Then the business of the halls continued like downtown New York. Aaron looked down in disappointment and then looked at . Matt was taken aback at her yelling and Mary was laughing at the way that Aaron looked.
"Hi ." He said sarcastically "Any ways there was a shooting at a cafe up in a place called Glens Falls. There were two dead at the scene and 3 are hospitalized right now."
"So what its a shooting we live here in the city there is always a shooting." snapped back as he grabbed his arm. "Come on we got to get to class or we will be late for class...again. I don't need any more attention my parents got pissed just looking at my progress report I just need to explained why I was late because my boyfriend was talking about shootings." She waved quickly as she dragged him away in to the sea of kids. Matt just looked with confused look when he dropped to his knees.
"Matt are you OK?" Mary said as he looked at him. He looked up and nodded.
"Just a headache, more than likely from you little buddy screeching like a banshee." Matt said calmly as he got up and shook his head." I better get to class as he walked off leaving her by herself.
"What the hell was that? I know that wasn't from it just appeared out of nowhere. What is going on?" He thought as he walked down the hall way to his classes.
The rest of the day went without a problem for Matt and decided to hang out with his friends after school. It was towards the end of November but there has been no snow lately.
They got to Mary's house and took a seat in her living room while she went upstairs. The other took off their shoes and sat back down. Mary's parents were away on a business conference. Mary came back down with new on and they all sat down and started to talk about school and what is going on there. Mary looked and turned to Matt and started to speak.
"Matt we been together for about a month now right?" Mary asked as she turned and looked at him.
"Yeah that is right." What's up?" Matt replied. This got Aaron and to look at them. They looked at each other and then back to the conversation.
"Where are you from?" Mary said with interest in his voice. Matt just looked at her and didn't say anything he got up and walked to the kitchen and remembered the dream he had the night before, he remembered the book.
"Face your Past" the explosion the pain and the desk.
"I don't want to think about it. I'm sorry but its something I don't want to think about her. Especially since I finally met somebody." He said as he embraced her.
"Face your past" he remembered.
