March 17th, 2015, is the day my life changed. My name is Jason Stone, and as I said before, I can pinpoint the last regular day of my life exactly. I awoke early that day before even the world itself had stirred. I lay there just thinking about my life, wondering if I was doing everything right or if I had been doing things wrong.
Before I knew it, my mother was calling me down for breakfast. I grunted in displeasure and got up to get ready for school. I pulled a random shirt from my drawer and put on some old jeans. As I was leaving my room, I grabbed my jacket, looked in the mirror, and thought to myself today was going to be different, it was going to the day I changed things. It turns out someone else was going to change it for me.
As I walked downstairs, my pops told me to go out and feed the pigs. I looked at him and said, ok. He looked back at me said, “Jason, I wish it had been you.” I looked back at him and told him, “me too.” After that, I walked downstairs, grabbed the sandwich mom made me and left. My pops hated me; he blamed me for my sister’s death, and… so did I.
Before going to school, I gave the pigs their food, hopped into my truck, and drove to school. My school life was great; I was popular, and everyone liked me. I could have any girl I wanted a fact that many other male students envied. But none of that mattered to me, no, I wanted something more something better. I wanted to be somebody who that person is I don’t know, but I know it’s not who I am now, and I know that this town isn’t the place it’s going to happen.     Â
So, I tried hard. I got straight A’s and was the star player on the football team even though I didn’t care about football at all. It was all just a distraction from the fact that I killed my sister.
Anything that made me forget about that was worthwhile. That’s where my best friend Ivan comes in, he’s hilarious and helps me forget about the crap in my life. Honestly, he’s the best part about this town without him I honestly don’t know where I would be.
If there’s anything I miss about my old life, it’s him. Anyway, let’s move on because this next part is important. It was the start of everything the beginning of my real life. It’s when I met “her” for the first time Aubrey Lancaster, the most beautiful girl in all existence. It was homeroom and our teacher Mr. Herber told us we had a new student, that’s when she walked in, she was beautiful; it was almost like she wasn’t real, but she was, and she was looking at me.
She had just moved to town and was the new girl in school, which was weird because there were only two months of school left. I didn’t care about all of that honestly; I could barely think at all she was mesmerizing. She was wearing a leather jacket with a blue flannel shirt and a black skirt with military boots. She had stark black hair and eyes the color of a vengeful storm.
Before I knew it, she was sitting next to me, and she was starring… at me. I didn’t know what to say, so I just didn’t say anything. The class went by so fast, and I never said a word to her, after class, she got up and left without a word even though she had been staring at me. I couldn’t make sense of it throughout the school day. I tried to talk to her, but every time I got close, it was like time slowed down, and I could never get close enough.
School ended, and I hadn’t gotten a single chance to talk with Aubrey I felt defeated, but I thought to myself there’s always tomorrow.
I decided not to think about it and just head to the arcade with my friends. Ivan was roasting me about how I was such a chicken, not being able to talk to her. I grabbed him and wrestled him to the ground we were laughing and yelling and having a great time.
Time went by quickly, and it was nine o’clock. I said later to the boys and left the arcade as I was walking to my care I felt like I was being watched, but I didn’t see anyone, so I shrugged it off and attributed it to the many energy drinks I had drunk.
Once I got into my care out the corner of my, I saw a figure move it was slender, but from what I had seen, it looked deformed the only thing I could make out was the color of its eyes the same as Aubrey’s eyes. The feeling of being watched intensified drastically, and I shook off the thought that it was Aubrey; it had to be just a trick of my imagination because that thing could never be Aubrey.
After all my big talk, I still hadn’t spoken to Aubrey, and it had been three days. Although I’ve never talked to her, she still stares at me throughout homeroom, but every time I try to speak to her, she never talks back. Even outside of class, every time I try to get close to her, that feeling of time slowing down starts, and I can’t even get close. At this point, I felt like I was going insane. I mean…is she... is she even real? No, she has to be real. I’ve seen other people talk to her and even my friends make fun of me about her.
I can’t take it anymore. I’m determined to talk to her… no matter what. The next day I’m committed to not let her out of my sight. During homeroom, I stare right back at her, and as soon as class ends, I follow her, and this time it’s working. She leads me down a hallway I had never been down before, which was impossible. I knew this school like the back of my hand.
Nevertheless, I had never been to this part of the school; she finally stopped walking once she had taken me to a classroom at the end of the mysterious hallway. Once inside, she walked to the middle of the classroom, turned around, and motioned for me to come closer.
As I started to get closer to her, she started to change, her arms dislocated and grew long and gangly her mouth unhinged from its socket and grew so large it could easily swallow me whole what’s worse is the rows and rows of shark-like teeth sharp and piercing. Her legs grew as well, and she was easily 8 feet tall. I couldn’t move. I was petrified; she hunched down over me, put her face directly in front of mine, and gutterly whispered, do you still think I’m pretty?
My mind went blank and next thing I knew I was in my room with my parents shaking me awake as soon as I saw them, I hugged them and cried for a long while too afraid to let go.
I didn’t go to school for a few days; after that, every time I thought about it, I felt like puking. Friends from school kept on texting and calling, but I didn’t respond, I was too afraid, and even if I could answer, I had no idea what I would say... Finally, a couple of my friends came to check on me.
My mom let them go up to my room where I was, and Ivan opened the door and tackled me to the ground yelling at me, asking where I had been. I laughed for what seemed like forever; it was the first time in days that I had felt like myself. My mom brought snacks, and we talked and made fun; no one pressured me about what was wrong. They just messed around with me, making me feel so much better.
As I was talking and laughing, something started to feel off. It was like something that hadn’t been there before just appeared, and I was the only one who seemed to notice. It was Aubrey out of what seemed like thin air she appeared, but no, I searched my memory, and she had also been there since the first night she came to town. Always watching silently from the side the nights I spent awake at night wondering what she was doing or why she wouldn’t talk to me, she had been right there next to me. I didn’t know how I never noticed I started to scream all my friends tried to calm me down but they couldn’t I started to yell at everyone to leave as I frantically tried to put distance between myself and that monster.
My mother ran up the stairs and told everyone to go. She stayed with me until I calmed down and had fallen asleep.
Later that night I woke with cold sweats I couldn’t stop having that nightmare I sat up in the dark and looked around to my horror she was still there. Before I could even breathe, she was sitting next to me. I wanted to run I tried to scream but I couldn’t I was frozen by what seemed to be a supernatural force.
She started to whisper in my ear. I don’t remember what she said, but I do remember what happened next. She got up and kneeled next to me and kissed me and I kissed her back it was like nothing I had ever felt before as soon as she stopped, I wanted more. Aubrey got up and smiled at me and shook her finger no, then disappeared into thin air.
The next day I went to school and was no longer afraid, as soon as I saw Aubrey, I ran up to her and gave her the biggest kiss she smiled up at me and had me follow her inside. As she was walking inside the school, she started to change her arms dislocated and grew long and gangly her mouth unhinged from its socket and grew so large with rows and rows of shark-like teeth sharp and piercing, and she was absolutely the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
When I looked into the school trophy case, I noticed that I had changed to, I smiled and laughed and looked at Aubrey I was happier than I had ever been and oh so very hungry.
