《Abnormal》Chapter 13 The real world

"MILLIE ! "
I gasped and sat up, finding myself not on the chair but on the floor.
"Ehhhh... Yeah? " I said, checking my body for injuries.
"You were screaming on the floor girl." Sean said, standing beside me.
"Oh, ok, cool." I said, touching my face.
"Oh my...did you pour water on me? " I said, glaring at Sean.
He shook his head and helped me up, "You were saying something about Julie, who is that anyways? "
I frowned, "She's nobody, I dreamt of a girl called Julie chasing after me with a knife ok?"
I said, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
"O..kay..." Sean replied in disbelief.
"But you were saying something about people in white ...and needles too."
I finched at the sound of needles.
"It was nothing, but hey, what time is it? " I asked.
"2: 46 a.m. why? " Sean answered.
"Did my screaming wake you up?" I asked.
Sean nodded.
"Whoops, you continue your sleep, imma take a shower, I smell like a week old gym clothes." I said, glancing at my arms and legs.
"Mm...ok, night." Sean said, he pulled the blanket over him and fell asleep.
I grabbed my P.Js and made it to the shower.
"Stupid dream, stupid Julie, stupid glass box, stupid whitie, stupid needles, stupid me, everything is stupid! Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid........" I muttered to myself as I shower, stomping on the water, splashing water everywhere.
After showering, I walked out of the room in my pajamas, and walked in my room, but then, something bothered me.
Where am I gonna sleep?
***********
Sean slammed open the door and fell on the floor face first, he quickly got up and ran towards the living room.
"MILLIE! MILLIE! MILLLLLIIIII-----"
A pillow charged towards him and slapped his face, he fell on his back with a big OOF.

"JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!!!" I yelled through the living room.
The guest room's bedsheet was being washed so I had to sleep on the couch.
Sean grabbed the pillow and stood up.
"WE ARE LATE FOR SCO---"
Another pillow slammed his face and he fell backwards again.
"SINCE WHEN DO YOU CARE?! "
Sean grabbed the second pillow and removed it from his face.
"Don't you care? " he said.
"It's Saturday you fudging idiot." I groaned.
Sean's mouth turned to an O shape and he made a Oooooh sound.
He threw my pillows back to me and caught it with my eyes closed.
I faced the ceiling for a second before slamming my face on the pillow.
"UUURRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!" I yelled, rubbing my face against it and continuously slamming my face against it.
Sean looked like he wanted to call an ambulance.
I stood up and threw the pillow on the sofa.
"I'll make breakfast." I said, there were eye bags under my eyes, I can feel it.
Sean wanted to say something, but then he shut his mouth after I glared at him.
I bended my back backwards, it made cracking sounds, the sofa isn't a great place to sleep.
***********
"Hey! Let's go to the mall later! " Sean suggested as he nibbled on his toast.
I nodded as I take big bites out of my toast..
"Yeah, wait , let me take my wallet." I stood up from my chair and walked to my room.
Sean took out his phone and called someone.
"Hey Rod! Can you send my car here for me? Not too fancy, no...no...no, of course not that one. Yeah ok... K see you there." He hanged up, took his jacket and waited outside.
I walked out the door and locked it, "So, you called someone to pick us up? "
"No, I called someone to send my car here." Sean said.

I nodded and waited, Sean checked his phone and walked closer to the streets.
A red car stopped in front of us and Someone came out of it , " Here it is."
Sean nodded , "Thanks Rod."
The guy named Rod walked away with his hand in his pocket.
I looked back at the car and held my breathe.
It was a Ferrari, a Ferrari, wow, a Ferrari.
I stared at Sean with my mouth open.
"Wow...just wow, not too fancy." I nodded but shaked my head.(Make sense? -w-)
"Just get in the car." Sean grinned.
I walked towards the car and hopped in.
"Which mall? " I asked, making myself comfortable.
Sean flipped through his phone , " Erm, I don't know, where do you like to shop? "
"In the supermarket, and on my phone." I said truthfully.
"Because it's basically the only place I buy stuff in." I laughed.
Sean nodded , " Ok..ok, how about Leon ?"
"I'm fine with anything." I muttered, fidgeting with my fingers.
The car zoomed across the roads, I sinked into the chair, not use to being in a car.
I held my breathe, Sean turned to look for a second, "I can tell that you don't use cars often."
"oh ho ho , you got that right, I rarely use cars." I wheezed out.
Sean's eyes widened and we halted to a stop.
"Red light...sorry." Sean muttered.
I coughed at fright and knocked on the window, Sean immediately scrolled the window down.
I gasped for fresh air, "You...are...such...a...bad...driver."
Sean laughed, "But hey, wanna go faster? "
I shaked my head fast, "No no no no no no no no no no, NO! "
Sean rolled his eyes, "I finally found your fear."
I gasped, "Oh yeah? Give me the car, wait no, switch seats."
Sean raised a brow, "Why?"
"Because I'm only used to it when I'm the driver." I broke into an evil smile.
Sean's lips tighened, "But this is a Ferrari Millie."
"I have license." I said.
"Wait but you're not 18 yet." Sean replied.
"I have my ways."
Sean gulped.
***********
Sean had a paper bag in front of him, his face slightly green.
I was at the driver's seat, one hand on the driving wheel, the other one on the brakes.
The car speed limiter was going from 160 - 180.
Sean looked like he wanted to dig a hole, jump in it, and never show up again.
I looked at the GPS, Leon was on my right, I turned the driving wheel to the right, fast.
We were zooming through the parking lot, I was looking from my left to my right, once I found a slot, instead of stopping, backing up and parking the car, the moment I reached the slot, I pulled the brakes, switched the car to backing up, and twirled the driving wheel to my left.
The car was parked, perfectly.
"We're here! " I said.
Sean was hugging his own knee, his face was pale, but a little greenish.
"You alright buddy? " I asked, a little worried.
He shaked his head slowly.
"Do you need help getting out of the car? " I asked again.
He could puke any second now.
Sean slowly unbuckled his seat belt and reached for the door.
He climbed out of the car with one hand on his mouth.
"I..I'm fine..." He said.
I gently patted his back, "Next time, let's use my car."
He nodded, but when he realised what I really meant, his face went greener.
Because for me, the faster the better.

The Saga of Geir Røshjert
"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this." This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place. He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people. But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me. Røshjert (My Submission for Royal Road's Writing Competition in June 2022)
