Chapter 3



   School was canceled for the rest of the day do to the crash. Nobody broke anything or died, just scratches were inflicted. And basically the only thing people wanted to talk about was the crash. I heard many rumors, some sounded realistic enough while others were, 'creative' to say the least.

 'Hey man! I  heard from this other guy that someone got pissed so much that they just shot our school with a bazooka!'

  'No way dude, this was totally the work of those robots on TV.'

  'Which ones? There are many bots here in Detroit.'

  'Ya know, the tall ones? The ones that came from, uh, Cycletron?'

  'Cyletron? You mean like a recycling bin or somthin? Man, you hafta clean your ears out.'

  'Whatever dude, it's somthin like that.'

  After hearing this discussion, I simply tuned then out. My buddies already left so I was by myself. I sat on the thick cemented walls (I don't really know what it's called) that sided the steps, that were in front of the front school doors. So without further adue, pull out my iPod, I started to blast out on some dubstep. Right now, I was listening to Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by Skrillex. Not even halfway through the song I was shoved sideways face planting into the leafy ground.

  'Ugh.' I lifted my head up to hear the sounds of laughing. I don't think the people noticed that I was there. Freakin retards. Oh well. I got up and wiped off the cling on leaves. A few feet in front lay my backpack. Walking over, I picked it up and the scattered papers. As I packed away the last piece, I heard a familiar honking by the curb. Sitting inside the car was a grinning Tatum.

  As soon as I was in the car I buckled up and we headed off. I remembered the deal she made about playing any game I wanted and a large grin slipped onto me face.

  “So Lucy, first day of school go well?” Tatum asked. I'm guessing she didn't hear about the crash at our school.

  “Uhm, would 'something destroyed the school walls during lunch' go under the totally awesome category?”

  She swerved to the side of the road and slammed her foot on the brake. Because of the suddenness of this, the car behind us had to quickly move to the left narrowly missing us. When the driver was in front, they honked the horn and promptly flipped us the finger.

  “What happened at school today?!”

  “Well school got canceled until further notice 'cause the walls in the lunchroom got destroyed. You know what really sucks? I got algebra homework, and it's the first day of school! So what about you, did you have a good day so far?”

  Tatum leaned back and put her hand on her forehead.

  A whistle came

  “Wow... That sounds...interesting. Well apparently college was suppose to start next week...”

  I nodded, “Dude, that's awesome! Now let's go home, I wanna coke.”

  Starting up the car she turned onto the road and headed off.

  “You and your freakin coke-cola addiction. At least I know what to give you for Christmas.” She mumbled under her breath.


~Time Skip to Lucy's house~

  “Alright Tate, prepare to lose for I am the master of this game!”

  “Hell no, the only one here going to win is me. I suggest that you give up now or face the wrath of my awesomeness.”

  “Okay, first of all, only I say awesomeness. Second, you should prepare yourself with some tissues because I'm gonna beat your ass so much that you'd have to go to the hospital.”

  “Language.”

  “You didn't watch yours.”

  “That's because I'm older. I'm aloud to cuss. I'm also awesome that way.”

  “Hey!”

  “Just play the game...”

  I went up to stand in the middle of the room while Tatum went to sit at the couch. I decided that we should play Just Dance 4. We wrote down all of the songs and put them in a hat so it would be a random song to dance to, we would each take turns. As soon as we were both done with our turns, we would compare points. Winner gets the last coke-cola can and bragging rights.

  So first up, my turn. Tatum held the hat out and reached in. I unfolded it. Looking at the screen, I started to flip though the songs.

  Tate's curiosity finally peaked 'cause she then asked, “So what you dancing to?”

  I smirked. “You'll see.”

  Finally finding the song I clicked on it.

  Tatum laughed.

  “Never Gonna Give You Up? Good luck.” Sarcasm lit her voice.

  She promptly brought out a video camera and started to film.

  I turned and flashed her a toothy grin.

  “Make sure you get my best angle Tate, I want to look good my best for this video.”
 
  She smirked, “Ya okay,” She put the camera on the ground. I pouted. Kneeling down I quickly grabbed the camera and put it on the TV facing me. I hopped back quickly just as the dancing began. During the whole dance, Tate took her time in commenting how the guy looked too retarded to be a superhero. She also made fun of the way I danced, I just laughed and agreed with her, I bet it was funny to look at me dancing like this. Sometime during the song, my adoptive dad (Jeremy) came home from work just in time to see the dinosaurs popping up in the background of the game. But when he saw me, he laughed out loud with Tatum. As soon as the song was over I earned my 5,669 points and did the pose, then fell over at the same time he did. When Tatum got off the couch I immediately flopped on. Heh, who knew dancing could be so tiring.

  “All right Tate, your turn.” I thrust the hat out to her and smirked.

  She reached in and read it. A smile stretched out on her face. 'Crap, this must be an easy dance.' Turning around, she searched the song. I would've asked, but I was too lazy to do so, even if it's just speaking.

  A familiar tune came from the stereo part of the flat screen TV. Call Me Maybe.

  “Oh come on! This is too easy! I vote you rechoose your pick of song!”

  Tatum laughed out loud. “Sorry Lu-lu, I'm taking this one.”

  I sniffed while wiping away a fake tear.

  “But sister dearest...”

  “No way.”

  I sighed knowing that it will do no good. She did pretty good during the dance, lots of perfects. I think I might cry...

  As the song finished, she also did the ending pose for a couple seconds. Okay, now I was pretty sad. Tatum got a total of 8,467 points. That's like, 2,798 points more than mine.

  “Yes! I won! Take that bitch!” She immediately ran to the fridge to claim her prize. I smirked. '1...2...3...-”

  “Where the hell is the coke?!”

  Sitting upright, I reached under the couch and pulled out...yep, that's right. Tatum's newly won soda. Flipping the tab with a satisfying 'pop!' I started to chug the fizzy drink. That's when Tate decided to hop in and join me. I paused and she paused, mouth agape. I was like a deer caught in a car's headlights.

  “Nooooo! My Prize!” She lunged at me.

  'Ooph!' The drink was then snatched out of my hand and into her's. It was finished with a satisfying sigh, but that was gone as her gaze bore into mine.

  “I regret nothing.”

After so many weeks I finally got the next chapter out! I made it a long chapter so I hope this makes up for the empty weeks. It's just I couldn't think of anything to write about. You can partly thank youtube for getting me ideas with the 'Just Dance 4' part of the story.

(Lucy's song) Never Gonna Give You Up- Rick Astley

(Tatum's song) Call Me Maybe- Carly Rae Jepsen
