To say that this wasnt like any other day of school would be incorrect. My first period was math. Now dont get me wrong, Im pretty good at math and I tend to enjoy it. But today I was just not feeling it. Our teacher lectured for a bit. And let us work on a few problems for the remainder of the class. I put my headphones in (normally one of the first things I ask my teachers if its okay) and got to work. I finished a little early and sat tight till class officially ended and I was good to go to my next class
.History.. I hate History. More than any other subject. Never really saw the point in it. Im often told knowing more about the past can prepare you for the future. But I never really saw the reasoning behind this. Nobody can predict the future. Why even try? Thoughts like these helped fill my boredom during the teachers lecture. Not to mention trying very hard to stay awake after not getting much sleep last night. Just when I thought class would never end I was saved by the bell. Quite literally. And I was good to go to lunch
I sat at my normal table with my normal friends. Two of which I deemed closer than any other friends I had. Jackson and Koby. Jackson was pretty much how youd expect any dude named Jackson to be. He stood tall (about 64, maybe 63) he was very well known at our school as he was on the football team. Take a guess at what position he plays
..Yup he just so happens to be the QB on the football team. And as a result he pretty much gets his pick out of any girl in school (at least at my school thats the case) so of course his current girlfriend would be the most sought after girl in school. Ashley McKinley. I liked her for a time. But when Jackson made his move. I backed off, and quickly suppressed those feelings. I wasnt too bummed as I have a few other girls Im currently interested in. But havent decided which one to actually get serious with yet.
On my other side was Koby. Kobys definitely the closer friend of the two. He and I do almost everything together. Jackson and I used to hang out a lot. But when he and Ashley got together, Jackson had much less time while Kobys availability never changed. Kobys got a great sense of humor similar to mine. When were together were both always cracking jokes. Many times dirty jokes. We are teenage guys after all. Koby stands about my height, 510. He loves the gym. And Ill go with him from time to time, and hell show me some stuff . But as I said before, Im not really a big fan of the gym. Koby isnt an only child like me and Jackson, he has one 16 year old sister. I interact with his sister as much as any guy interacts with is friends siblings. Needless to say I dont know where Id be without these two guys. We used up the entire lunch period messing around, and chatting until lunch was over. Towards the end of lunch after we had all three split up Kobys sister approaches me and asks me if I can meet her after school, near Kobys car, to ask me about something. What if I dont know where Kobys car is parked? Thats right! Im so dumb. She responds. Just meet at the front entrance to the school and Ill ask you there I asked a question that seemed reasonable Why not ask me whatever it is now? To which she responds Dont be silly! Lunch is over! Weve gotta get to class!! Plus youve still got a few classes to finish up! See you after school!! after saying this she quickly and very enthusiastically walks off to her next class. I was confused what she meant by having classes to finish up. How is it relevant? I didnt have much time to contemplate as I had to get to my next class.
Chemistry! Spent in the chem lab. Our teacher Mr. Avery had us pull our lab books out, explained a little about our experiment and left us to work instructing us to let him know if we had any questions. Mr. Avery just so happened to be Kobys dad. Mr. Avery works at Mercury labs. The lab known for inventing the fully electric motorcycle, backpack refrigerator and many other revolutionary items. Kobys dad actually brought him home a backpack refrigerator. Which I gave him so much crap over probably much more crap than deserved but its great when were camping!! Whether Koby being my lab partner was a good or bad thing. I dont think anybody can say. But we did the job pretty well in the experiments, and we could chat while working so that was a plus. Hey Koby. I said your sister came up to me after lunch saying she wanted to ask me about something after school was over. Any idea what she was talking about? Koby responds huh. Yesterday was bring your daughter to work day at Mercury labs. She kept saying she snagged something from the lab. She justified it by saying they had a ton of them. Its impossible to notice one missing. Lets hope shes right. She refuses to tell me what it is. I wonder if shell tell or show you. Guess Ill find out either way I said. We continued to work on the experiment making a joke here and there, and chatting while working. We finished just as class was ending. I never understood how Mr. Avery was so good at that.
I wont give much attention to my next few classes. Pretty much all electives. I met with Kobys sister after school just like she had asked. Cameron!! She shouts holding a drink in her hand, Yeah, thats my name I said with a bit of sarcasm. Want a sprite? she asked offering the cup. Thanks! I said but...why? She swiftly responds with a little sass thrown in. Does it matter? I got it for you. Dont waste my money! But if youre not gonna drink it, I will. No, no.Ill drink it I said taking a few sips. I loved Sprite. Probably more than any other soda Great!! Now check this out!! She said pulling something out of her pocket. I felt light headed. And fell to the ground still conscious I asked Whatd you do? to which she responds I put a sedative in your drink. Youll be fine! I think it works about four hours on an 18 year old male. It wont hurt at all. Youll just fall asleep and Ive got something for when you wake up! This is a shrink ray! I got it from my dads lab. I wanted someone to test it out on and you seemed to be the easiest one. All I have to do is tell your parents youre spending a few nights at Kobys and shrink you down, and then we can have some fun! As she said this my eyes shut and I lost consciousness.
After I was out she shrunk me down, picked me up along with the drink cup I had dropped. Put me in her purse as she went to the trash can to throw my cup away.
