Different

Chapter 3

Baekhyun's POV

"Hey Baekkie. Please tell me if i look good in pink...Oh wait. you don't see color. What a dull life you have" Britney said and her minions laughed along with her.

I had just got to school and was hoping i would have a peaceful day for once.

"Do you know the advantage of seeing things in black and white? I can never miss those huge dark zits on your face. Do they look that bad even in color?" i asked turning her smile into a frown.

"You asshole" she screamed before running to the ladies room. Girls were always so easy to get rid of.

"Hey freak. How is it seeing things like your watching from an old fashioned tv" and now i had to deal with the mindless jocks.

Apparently old televisions were in black and white before technology advanced. As usual it all looks the same to me weather the tv is old or new. I had tried. There is literally no difference to me other than the fact that silent movies had the best type of comedy. Charlie Chaplin still cracks me up.

Anyway enough about the classics. Lets get back to the present.

"Oh wow. Someone has been studying. I'm surprised that tiny little brain of yours was able to hold that information considering that its already filled with irrelevant thoughts of football, boobs and food. Your parents must be proud" I said and he literally had no comeback and i enjoyed his comfused expressions.

No one could touch me due to the fact that i held a black belt and after one encounter no one ever dared try to fight me. Now all they could do was attack me with words but that wasnt going so well for them.

"Freak" he said in anger.

"You said that already but dont worry. I got you" i said as i opened my backpack and passed him a small thick book.

"It's called a dictionary. Use it this summer so that you can at least make me feel bad for once with more than one word" I said before i pat him on the shoulder and before he could blow up the bell rang.

Saved by the bell. Not that i needed help.

"Need to rush to class. Enjoy your summer" i said with a wink before rushing to class.

I took my usual seat at the back of the class. The rest of the day was filled with teachers giving us summer homework and wishing us a great holiday. Basically it was an uneventful day.

Even my so called bullies didnt bother me at all. I was crazy bored and was so relieved when the final bell rang.

FINALLY FREEDOM.

I packed up my backpack and left the building.

First I went to my favourite cafe that was near the school. They had the best strawberry milkshake and muffins.

I didn't know what pink looked like but because it was the color of my favourite milkshake I like it.

It just looked light grey to me but I still like it. I sat down and enjoyed my treat.

I suddenly felt like I was being watched. I looked around the cafe and only saw the usual customers and a few new faces but no one had their attention on me.

I then looked out the window and everything seemed normal but my focus was on the bushes.

I couldn't see anything but I felt like something was there.

'I feel it too. Let's get out of here' Fred said making an appearance.

'What happened to the adventurous and daring Fred I know. Shouldn't we go see if there is something out there?'

'I told you I had a strange feeling about today. Something is not right. Let's go home'

Fred was serious and so I decided to just do what he said without argument.

As soon as I was done with my milkshake I got up and left.

I started walking at a normal pace but got the strange feeling again.

I looked back and saw nothing. I increased my speed and next thing I heard footsteps which also seemed to increase with speed to match mine.

I stopped and then turned around so fast I got a little dizzy but still I saw no one.

Strange. I was sure I heard footsteps.

So I did what any sane human being would do in such a situation.

I ran home like a maniac.

As soon as I got home I quickly closed the door and locked it.

"Mom...I'm home" I said as soon as I caught my breath.

"Mom" I called out but only silence followed.

That was strange. Mom is always home especially at this time.

I checked all rooms and I was about to call her when the basement door slammed open revealing a sight that totally freaked me out and I screamed like a little girl.

I was too afraid to feel embarrassed.

"What?" Mom called out and next thing I saw that she was the one wearing the gas mask as she took it off.

"What the hell. Mom you scared me half to death. Why are you dressed like a serial killer from a low budget horror movie?" I asked my hand still on my chest from the shock.

"I was cleaning the basement and didn't want to get my white dress dirty" she said as if that was a normal thing to say.

"So instead of going to change into something else you put on a black raincoat and gas mask like you're black widow's long lost sister who has been locked up in a basement all her life and just got her first seconds of freedom" I said and she smiled and nodded.

I have the weird mom.

I was on my way to the kitchen when mom screamed.

"GET DOWN" I turned to face her in shock but she tackled me to the ground before we heard gun shots hit the wall above us.

"What's going on?" I asked in shock.

"If you havent noticed we are under attack" she said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I see that but who and why are we being attached?" I asked.

"I have no idea but for now we have to handle the threat" she said as she crawled into the kitchen and I followed.

The gunshots were still going on none stop. These guys had a lot of ammunition.

Mom pressed a button and all of a sudden a whole cabinet filled with all sorts of guns and weapons popped up.

I always thought I learnt to fight and use weapons for just self defense but now I had a feeling my parents were not normal people.

"You have a lot of explaining to do" I said.

"Yes but nows not the time. Let's talk after we survive this" she said as she passed me a loaded gun.

I guess it was time to put all my training into action.

Fred was right. Something very bad is happening.

Baekhyun always knew he was weird but now things just got weirder.
