IB Go
From Create Your Own Story
It was close to midnight now, your parents probably let you stay so long because it's only a month till the school is over and pretty much no one cares now.
This movie is so great... and Lisa is here. It's always nice talking to her. It's a shame Bobby is here. He's so young and stupid! Gah! The movie is over. Shame...
"Good night Lisa, good night Bobby" you said and went straight to your bedroom.
Your siblings were right behind you. Of course Robert didn't want to let Lisa go and was holding her leg. She didn't mind, she was always laughing when he was doing it. You couldn't sleep, not many lessons tomorrow; your coach cancelled your training. Oh, how many things you will be able to do tomorrow! Finally you have fallen asleep.
You had a weird dream. You were in a hospital with a bandage on your right arm. It was soaking with blood. You called for help. No one answered, but you kept shouting and finally a nurse entered. She was an attractive, young woman, but something seemed odd about her. She looked at you, said everything is all right and put an oxygen mask on your face. Everything seemed to fade away, but just for a second. You removed that mask and touched your head. It was bandaged. You started screaming...
You woke up, with your clock showing that it was 3:00 AM. Your head felt like it was going to explode. You were scared. Very scared. Slowly, you touched your head... Nothing. It was just a bad dream. A nightmare. You crawled out of bed and went downstairs, to the kitchen, to get some painkillers. You swallowed two pills and got back to bed. Sleep came almost immediately.
The alarm clock woke you. The back of your head, where your skull was meeting the spine, was itchy. You went to the bathroom scratching the back of your head. Lisa was inside, brushing her teeth, she looked at you weirdly, but didn't say anything. You left the door open, waved to her, grabbed your toothbrush and started brushing your teeth. It was a bit weird that she didn't say a word, did you offend her yesterday?
She rinsed her mouth, closed the door and sat on the toilet. Now that was weird. Once she was done peeing she just left, leaving you shocked in the bathroom. You shook it off, finished your morning routine, got back to your room to get dressed and went downstairs to check if breakfast is ready.
Downstairs everyone was sitting at the table.
"Where is Brian?" Your mom asked.
"Probably overslept, Lisa go get him." Demanded your father.
You were speechless... you were standing right in front of them! Lisa went past you, without noticing, stopped at the stairs.
"BRIAN! WAKE UP!" She shouted and went back to the table.
"You know? If I knew you were about to scream your lungs out I would have call him myself." Said your dad.
"I'm here..." You said silently.
"Good, the breakfast is ready!" Your mom said. You left the kitchen and look in the mirror. You could clearly see yourself. Your head started itching again, so you scratched it. You were almost crying.
"What are you doing here Brian? Your meal is getting cold." Dorothy stuck her head out of the kitchen.
"Mommy, you can see me?"
"Of course I can, don't be silly. Now come on, or you'll be late."
Everything seemed to be normal now. After breakfast you went to the bus stop, where your friend, Scott, was standing. You didn't tell him about what happened this morning, but you asked him to wait, went behind a corner, scratched back of your head and approached Scott again. He didn't seem to notice you. You waived in front of his face a couple of times. No reaction. Yo went back behind the corner scratched you head and came back.
"Where were you?" he asked you.
"Nowhere."
"Yeah, right."
So, it looks like scratching back of the head makes you invisible or something. Oh, the opportunities...
