One: Leo
Hey, I'm Leo. I guess I have to introduce myself before we can move on... such a drag. Look, I like pizza, I like video games and I like sleeping. That's all you need to know. I have no motivations in life nor do I plan on having any. Okay, now that you know me, let's head on out with the story.
I was just chilling here in my room playing Tekken until someone walked in. It was my mom and she did the unthinkable. She pulled the plug as I was playing. Great, looks like all that time I spent playing was for nothing. I look at her from my bean bag chair before she says, "Leo, come on. You're stuck in this room every day, get outside and see what the outside world feels like."
"No thanks." I told mom. Honestly, why should I go outside? It's not like I have any friends. The arcade's on the other side of town and that's too far. Perfect. Maybe I can sneak out and play again.
"Don't even think of trying to sneak back in." Mom told my before I groaned. My life has an order to it. If I die outside, I blame her.
I got up and put on my sweater. This is gonna be a long day.
I walked out the house and wandered aimlessly for ten minutes. Honestly, why the hell should I be doing this? I kept walking until I came across an antique store. Hopefully something in there could interest me.
I walked in and heard that bell ring as the door opened. That's nice. Maybe I can browse around. Something here has to interest me. Right? Anyway, here I am minding my business until I see someone. A bane to my existence. The most lively girl in my class if not the school...
Charlotte.
I silently groaned as I noticed she was in here. I chose not to pay any attention because I got no energy for a show off like that.
I know I'm not supposed to judge since I don't know her that well, but you have to admit, all the stunts she likes to pull and her being all brave and shit, it's overrated, hence I call her show off.
I kept browsing until I found yet another pain in my ass. Well, a pain in everyone's asses. Fucking Lara. Why does she have to be here of all places? This makes things worse for me. Not only do I have to avoid the show off, I also have to avoid the girl with a traffic light shoved up her ass.
Fucking perfect. I'd seriously take getting mugged over this crap, I blame you mom.
Okay, please tell me there's something here. I looked around and I saw Charlotte. She was looking at me. God dammit. I kept moving my head to make her think I didn't notice her. As long as I don't acknowledge her presence, she won't acknowledge mine. Simple as that.
She looked away before I sighed with relief. The lady who I assume is running this place asked Lara to look after it for her while she left to go on a lunch break.
My guess is that there's too much people in here to close up shop. Good.
I noticed that Charlotte was being a brave, or should I say stupid, show off and snuck into the back. I chose to follow her. No I'm not interested. I just figured that there could be something that would make my trip to the outside worth while... I should've gone to McDonald's. Now I'm here in some creepy antique store sneaking into the back because my mom refused to let me play video games.
I looked around and noticed that Charlotte was frustrated. Wait, did I say what I think I just said. She's frustrated. This is new. I wonder why she's all pissy today.
"Fuck." She cursed. I don't know why but her frustration seems to be amusing me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked getting her attention. As soon as the first word was said she turned around to see me. Now she looks puzzled.
"I came in here looking for a jewellery box and it seems I wasted my time." She told me. "Cool. I'm in here wondering why we're still here." I said as my only response.
"What are you two hooligans doing in here? The rules of the store clearly state that nobody except the owner is allowed at the back." And there's other one I wanted to avoid. Fucking perfect. I looked at her and said, "Yet you're here."
"Yeah, besides we aren't at school so take that stick out of your ass." Charlotte added. I can't believe I'm saying this but, go Charlotte.
"You two think you're in a position to be giving orders? I swear, I dread my time with you at school and anywhere else. This is why I told mother to put me in a boarding school."
Okay she started rambling. I saw Charlotte back away. Probably best to do the same here. Hold on, there's something covered by a large cloth. I hope there's something cool under it.
I followed Charlotte but then Lara came here to try and scold us again. Can someone tape her mouth please? While she's chewing Charlotte out, I grabbed the cloth and pulled it. A mirror was seen to be hidden and now I feel disappointed. Hold on.
"Hey guys, are reflections supposed to look different?" I asked asked getting their attention. We looked forward see our reflections and we're wearing different clothes. Black clothes, skinny jeans and a sweater was what Charlotte was wearing. I saw my reflection and I was wearing bright clothes and I see Lara isn't wearing anything that makes her look uptight and her hair is another colour too.
"I'm gonna touch it." Show off says as she approached the mirror. "Are you insane? We're in enough trouble as it is. We're not allowed to touch anything unless we're paying for it." Another nag from Lara.
"Sheesh, if we can't touch anything, how will we know that the things we're buying aren't defective?" She asked pencil skirt hoping to buy some time since she loves to think.
I'm not impressed with how I look. At all. Defies what I am.
Charlotte reached out to touch the mirror. She went slowly but she still moved her hand, placing it on the mirror before we were met with a blinding flash.
I don't know what was happening but this felt funny. My body felt all tingly. I opened my eyes to find myself and along with show off and rule book with me in another room. Charlotte walked out and I followed suit.
What we found was weird. The antique shop... it's all weird. It's like everything is in a reverse order. What creeped me out even more was this... the sky outside. The sky was blue instead of orange and the clouds were white instead of black.
Wherever we are, were far away from home. Also, for the record... I blame Charlotte for this.
