《The Villain(DISCONTINUED)》 What will today bring? I wake up to the sound of an alarm ringing. I check the time and it''s 7:55. ¡°Dammit, I¡¯m going to be late¡±, I say to myself. I check my phone and see about a thousand messages from my best friend: Are you up? I¡¯m waiting¡­ Are you seriously still asleep? Drystan you better be awake!!! I groan in exhaustion while getting out of bed. I get dressed and walk into the hallway. The director is staring right into my eyes. He says I better make it to school before I get into trouble. I walk out of the orphanage and start heading to school. Oh that¡¯s right¡­ I never introduced myself. My name is Drystan, and as you can tell I¡¯m late for school. I¡¯m 16 and I live in an orphanage because my parents died in an accident when I was little and since no one in my family wanted to take care of me. I haven¡¯t had any contact with them since my parents'' funeral but my best friend Theo always stayed by my side. Theo is the person who texted me earlier and we¡¯re like two peas in a pod. ¡­¡­¡­ That was an awkward way of phrasing that. What I mean is that we never leave each other behind. He isn¡¯t an orphan like me but we¡¯re still the best of friends. I basically grew up with him. Oh, there he is . Theo is a dirty blonde and is insanely attractive. When he sees me he starts running to me. Once he reaches me he yells, ¡°Don¡¯t you know what time it is?!¡± I look at my phone and respond, ¡°It¡¯s 8:26¡­¡± I say it so nonchalantly that Theo looks at me in disbelief. ¡°Bro, our teachers are going to kill us!!¡± As I listen to what he just said, I realize that he could¡¯ve been in school right now at this moment. ¡°Hey, why aren¡¯t you in school? Why did you wait for me? ¡° He looks at me like I¡¯m stupid. ¡°I would never leave you behind.¡± He says while looking mockingly emotional. I bet he just didn¡¯t want to go to school. He suddenly grabs me and starts running to school. When we finally reached the gate of the school, the security guard was about to lock it. Theo hollers, ¡°Wait!! We¡¯re right here!!!¡± The security sees us and lets us in. He warns us that the next time we¡¯re late, he won¡¯t let us in. How lucky.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Theo runs to his class while I walk to mine. As I walk into my classroom, the teacher scolds me for being late. My classmates start whispering and laughing. Do they think I¡¯m deaf? They¡¯re always making fun of me because I have no parents and only one friend. When I walk to my seat, I feel everyone¡¯s judgmental stares on me. After the lesson, the teacher leaves for break and everyone goes into their little groups and starts talking to themselves. I don¡¯t have a group of my own so I just stay at my desk and try to get the most sleep I can. Suddenly the door to the class bursts open, and I raise my head and see Theo. Whenever people see Theo, they look like they¡¯ve seen a celebrity. He¡¯s the angel face of the school, while I¡¯m the leftover scraps. Theo has big sentimental eyes, while I have eyes that look like I haven''t slept for days. He has a clean complexion and I have dirty freckles. I mean I¡¯m not even that bad looking but when people see me next to Theo, it¡¯s a whole other conversation to them. People always compare us when we¡¯re together, even though Theo is my best friend and all, I just don¡¯t like being compared to him. It might sound harsh but it¡¯s true. I mean would you like to be constantly compared to your best friend just because of your looks? While Theo is walking up to my desk, my classmates are looking at me like I¡¯m the most hideous person in the world. How annoying. When Theo sits on my desk and starts going on about how the teacher would call him Theodore instead of Theo, I look out the window of the classroom and see two girls laughing. How nice it must be to be happy. I hate it. Suddenly one of the girls looked up at me. She has dark brown eyes and she¡¯s wearing glasses. She smiles at me and my eyes suddenly widen and I put my head down to avoid eye contact. When I look out the window after a few seconds, I see her walking away while laughing. Her... I was looking out the window for quite a while until Theo hit the back of head. ¡°What the heck?! Why''d you do that?¡± ¡°Did you even hear what I was saying?¡± Theo said with a sour look. ¡°Sorry I was zoning out¡­¡± I said while trying not to look out the window. The bell then rang and Theo had to go back to class. He looked annoyed when he left. How weird¡­. When it was time for lunch I kept wondering about the girl. Who was she? Why did she smile at me? As I was lost in my thoughts, Theo came up behind me and pit his arm around me, ¡°What¡¯re you doing? Come on, let''s go.¡± Then in the corner of my eye I see the same girl smiling at me. I turn my head but I don''t see her. Either I¡¯m going crazy or she¡¯s messing with me. If she¡¯s messing with me then this will be troublesome¡­. ¡°Hey Theo?¡± I say. ¡°Yea what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Have you seen a girl around here with dark brown eyes and black hair?¡±The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°Dude, that''s like more than half of the girls here.¡± ¡°Oh, nevermind then..¡± As we walk around the school, people are starting to crowd Theo more and more. People are starting to push me aside and give me weird looks. I swear to god, it¡¯s almost like Theo is glitter and everyone else''s blue jays. Their intense stares make me feel like they''re drilling holes in me. I decide to head to one of the vending machines while Theo is occupied. Then I see her¡­ She¡¯s staring right at me, but she seems different. She¡¯s not smiling at me.. Just intensely staring. I get weird chills and suddenly everything around me disappears. I look around me and all I see is darkness, and it''s just her. Just her. She slowly walks up to me, and she still has no smile. I backed up, scared of what she was going to do. She starts walking faster, I start to back up more quickly. I¡¯m terrified so I start running. Then I can''t move. She catches up to me and gets really close to my face and smiles. Then she backs up a little and starts laughing. What the heck??? After like 10 seconds I can move again. She then says, ¡°You sure are fun to mess around with.¡± Then she disappears before I can say anything. I still don''t know where I am. I get my phone but it isn''t turning on. What the actual hell??? Where am I? Who is she? What is this? As these questions are circling my head, I¡¯m back in front of the vending machine. I¡¯m on the floor sweating. Everyone¡¯s looking at me.. I turn bright red and head to Theo. That was so embarrassing. That girl¡­ she''s so annoying. How did she do that? When I get to Theo, he¡¯s laughing at me. ¡°What?¡± I said to him, ¡°I heard you were on the floor sweating, what exactly happened?¡± he says with a smirk. I feel my ears turning red, I hit him in the back of the head and I head to class. I hate that girl... Nightmare As I was heading back to class, I could see everyone snickering and laughing at me. To be honest, being compared to Theo was much better than this. I don¡¯t even know what they saw besides me on the floor sweating. Did they see me fall? Did they see that everything disappeared? Did they see her? These thoughts were showering my head until the end of class and it was starting to get on my nerves. The teacher had called me multiple times while I was thinking and I didnt even notice. It was super embarrassing when everyone started laughing at me. Luckily after this class, school is over. The last period of today is P.E and this is my only class with Theo. We may be best friends but I¡¯m kind of glad that I only have one class with Theo. Sometimes its nice to just stray away from him and his craziness. I head to the gym and I see Theo talking with a bunch of girls. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a blessing or a curse to always be surrounded by a bunch of girls almost all of the time. It¡¯s a curse¡­.

I thought I was just exhausted from what happened at lunch so I decided to shrug it off. I met up with Theo after I finished changing into the PE uniform. As before, Theo was still surrounded by girls, so I decided to help him and call him over. Don¡¯t do that.. I wasn''t able to call out to Theo after I heard that. I felt frozen. I could move fine but when I tried to call out to Theo, I couldn¡¯t do anything. I decided to wash my face in the restroom to clear my head. What was that? Who was that? Why couldn''t I move? While I was thinking Theo suddenly came running in the restroom and closed the door. ¡°Why are the girls acting so crazy today? Usually they leave me alone after a couple of minutes but now they''re not even letting me breathe¡± ¡°Maybe it''s because you''re too beautiful to resist.¡± I say mockingly. ¡°Haha, very funny.¡± Suddenly we hear the girls start crowding the bathroom and they start shouting, ¡°Stop avoiding us, you¡¯re too beautiful to resist!!¡± ¡°That¡¯s just a coincidence right?¡± He says slightly afraid. ¡°Yeah, at least I think so.¡± We hear someone knock at the door and suddenly I hear it again. I told you to not help him. Suddenly the door swings open and girls start to crowd us (more specifically Theo) and I feel my eyes closing. Then I jerk my eyes open and I¡¯m in my bed. Was it just a dream? But it felt so real.. What¡¯s going on? How did you like the dream? UPDATE I''m really sorry for not uploading the 4th chapter. Even though it may not be the best book, i still worked hard on it. I started wrting this story during a 3-day weekend so I thought it''d be easy to keep updating every 2 days. Since I am graduating my school soon, school is out of control. I need to pick up one of my grades and I cant focus on my story. I''m going to take a break even though I may not deserve it but when i come back, I''ll come back with 5 new chapters. I don''t know when I''ll be back but I promise it wont be over two months. Sorry I wasnt able to stay focused on this story but once againUnauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. ILL BE BACK.... Im back Hello to my readers. I know I''ve been gone longer than I said I would be gone for. To be honest I was going to drop this novel all together. I felt that this novel was too immature and that the plot was completely random. It was like if I kept writing the way I was I would never reach my goal. I thought that I was a horrible writer because I could see my friend writing their own story and being proud of themself. I was envious and felt like I didn''t deserve to be a writer. Thanks to my friend I will pick up a new story. I will not continue this one. I was going to improve this one but I feel a strong connection to the new one I''m going to write. Sorry if I disappointed anyone.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Thank you for the people who read my first 3 chapters, I will most definitley try and create a new novel to your taste.
