The past's door reopened part 4
The week went by along without a hitch. Aaron called Matt to chew him out about school and other stuff. Mary hung on Matt's shoulder like a tight T-shirt-shirt. Jen was like that with Aaron also. Aaron served his detention and got another one in art for pouring paint on a teacher. Matt got a couple detentions also, one for throwing a book at Aaron while he was sleeping and one for calling his teacher a shit head. That didn't go well with the girls so they watched them with looks in their eyes that would kill if the boys got into trouble again. they didn't get into trouble again until the Monday.
"Matt are you O.K.?" Mary said over the phone and into his ear.
"Yea, I'll be fine. I just have a stomach bug. I should be on my feet in a couple of days. He replied back his throat hold back his voice.
"I made a new friend" Mary said.
" Really who?" Matt replied as he sat up on his Chair and looked for his remote. He picked it up and turned on the Television. he dropped the phone while Mary was talking.
" Pardon the interruption, but I'm Mike Wilbon. Bad news, Tony - NASA has scrubbed the Pluto mission. I'm Tony Kornheiser. When are the going to scrub Uranus?"
Instead of getting into trouble, he acted like he was on the phone the whole time.
"And also if you and Aaron stopped wrestling in the puddles you wouldn't be sick in the first place." Mary stopped with her talking of her new friend to lecture him.
That was his cue to move the phone away from his ear and waited. He wanted to change the subject and so he asked if she was hot.
"I'm not talking high school hot, I talking model hot, you know the one you never get." Matt said with a chuckle. He knew that would piss her off.
"EWWWW. I dunno you dirty sad man." She said with annoyance in her voice."Besides you have me. So if I hear that again, your dead. I got go somewhere with my parents. I'll talk to you later."
"Alright I'll see ya when I get better." Matt replied as he hung up the phone. He put his head on his pillow and looked up to the ceiling.
" I wonder who This person is? She better have a cool boyfriend or I will be mighty upset." Matt thought to him self as he continued to look at the ceiling." I hope she not one of the prissy kind of kids either, we hang out with them too much. Too high maintenance, too much make up, dumb shit like that. If she has a boyfriend I hope that he cool and likes football also. I need no lacrosse fags to chill with either." He closed his and drifted off to sleep, thinking about all the stuff he thought about before.
-------------------------
He opened his eyes to see that he was in the room again with the book and walls. He got kinda used to it and walked to the middle of the room and saw the book. However it was already opened.
"Face your past" the book with its slogan said. Matt touched the book. Nothing happened, no flames,explosions, nothing. There were words towards the bottom of the book.
"Turn the page, Its time." the writing said. Matt, reluctant at first complied and turned the page. he looked at the page to see a paragraph on the next page.
"You will face your past. The time is now. your courage and sanity will be tested. It is your choice to run however but if you do you may hurt people you never knew you could. Its a gamble let fate take control or let yourself take control. Let your choice be true." Then the book closed and Matt was thrown against the gate. He turned and pulled at it as it opened to its command the book made a popping noise. He turned to see the book in flames and he took that as a time he should run. Matt opened his eyes to see that he was on the floor. He lifted himself up and got back into the bed and closed his eyes.
The next few days he was out of school cause of his stomach bug that Mary insisted to lecture him on. Most of the time he wouldn't answer the phone if it was anybody he didn't want to talk to. The rest of the time he was with the toilet. That Friday he was feeling good enough to go to school.
"Matt your back." Aaron said as he walked up to him before the first bell. He looked at him with a look and the bell rang meaning its time for class. They shuffled in for class and took their seats. Matt took his seat and looked out the window. His head started to feel light and he put it down on his desk. He started to close his eyes until the teacher spoke to him.
"How you feeling Matt?" The Teacher asked with concern. Matt raised his head a little and gave a thumbs up, then his head slammed the desk.
"Is there any chance you could keep your head up to say hi to the new student. Matt complied by nodding his head and leaving it down.
"O.K... would you like to introduce yourself to Matt since he was not here."
" I don't need to I already know him." The female voice said
"you do? Who are....." Matt stopped as he lifted his head to see her.
"How have you been Matt? Its been a long time" The female said
"Janice?" Matt mumbled as he looked in fear.
