This choice: Adam and Tyler, friends with a god • Go Back...Chapter #4Adam and Tyler, friends with a god by: citywalker   Adam woke up to the sound of his alarm clock blaring. He groaned, pulling his covers over his head, wishing he could stay in bed all day. But he knew he couldn't. Today was the first day of middle school, and he was nervous.
He got up and got dressed, staring at his reflection in the mirror. He looked different than he did in elementary school. His hair was longer, and he was taller. He wasn't a little kid anymore.
As he walked to the bus stop, Adam's heart was pounding in his chest. He saw other kids from his neighborhood waiting for the bus, some with their parents, others with friends. He didn't have anyone to talk to, and the feeling of isolation made him feel even more nervous.
The bus finally arrived, and Adam found an empty seat towards the back. He stared out the window, watching the houses and trees fly by. He tried to calm his nerves, but his mind kept racing with thoughts of what middle school would be like.
As he walked into the crowded school hallway, Adam felt a sense of overwhelming anxiety. The hallways were filled with kids he didn't know, all rushing to their lockers and classes. He felt lost in the crowd.
Just then, he heard a voice call out his name. "Hey, Adam!"
He turned around and saw a boy he vaguely recognized from elementary school. His name was Tyler, and they had been in a few classes together over the years, but they had never really talked.
Tyler smiled at him. "Nervous about middle school?"
Adam nodded, relieved to have someone to talk to. "Yeah, I don't know anyone here."
Tyler patted him on the back. "Don't worry, man. We'll get through this together."
And that was the beginning of a friendship that would change Adam's life. Tyler showed him around the school, introduced him to some of his friends, and made him feel less alone.
As they walked to their first class, Adam realized that maybe middle school wouldn't be so bad after all. He had a friend who had his back, and that made all the difference.
Adam and Tyler walked into their first period class, still chatting and getting to know each other better. As they took their seats, they continued their conversation, finding out that they had a lot in common.
"So, what do you like to do for fun?" Tyler asked.
Adam shrugged. "I like playing video games and reading books. What about you?"
Tyler's face lit up. "No way, me too! What kind of games do you play?"
Adam felt a sense of excitement. Finally, he had found someone who shared his interests. "I really like RPGs and adventure games. Right now, I'm playing this new game called 'Dragon Quest'."
Tyler's eyes widened. "I love that game! Have you played 'Final Fantasy'?"
Adam shook his head. "No, but I've heard of it. Is it good?"
Tyler nodded eagerly. "It's amazing. We should play it together sometime."
As their teacher began the class, Adam couldn't help but feel grateful for the newfound friendship. It was nice to have someone to talk to and share his interests with.
During the class, they worked together on a group project, and Adam found that Tyler was not only fun to talk to, but also a hard worker. They bounced ideas off each other, and their project turned out better than Adam could have imagined.
By the end of the class, Adam felt like he had known Tyler for years, not just a few hours. They exchanged phone numbers and made plans to hang out outside of school.
At lunchtime, Adam and Tyler sat together at a table in the crowded cafeteria. They were still talking about video games when Tyler did something that left Adam bewildered.
Tyler pointed his finger at Adam's last chicken nugget and muttered something under his breath. The nugget suddenly lifted off the tray, started to float in the air and spin around before vanishing completely. Adam was stunned, looking at Tyler with wide eyes.
"How did you do that?" Adam asked, amazed.
Tyler just grinned. "Trade secret, my friend. I'll show you later."
Adam couldn't stop thinking about what he had just witnessed, but before he could ask Tyler more, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. They parted ways and headed to their next class.
As Adam walked to his last period of the day, he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and accidentally bumped into a tall boy with a scowl on his face. It was Jared, a notorious bully in the school.
"Watch where you're going, loser," Jared sneered.
Adam apologized and tried to walk away, but Jared grabbed him by the shoulder, causing Adam to drop his backpack.
"What do we have here?" Jared sneered, picking up one of Adam's textbooks. "Are you a nerd or something?"
Adam's heart was racing as he watched Jared leaf through his book. He was scared and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, Tyler appeared from nowhere and stood beside Adam, placing his hand on Jared's shoulder.
"Hey man, why don't you leave him alone?" Tyler said, his voice calm but firm.
Jared turned to Tyler, scowling. "And who are you?"
"Just a friend," Tyler replied, his eyes locked on Jared's.
Jared sneered and threw the book back at Adam before walking away, muttering under his breath.
Adam felt a sense of relief wash over him as he watched Jared disappear into the crowd. He turned to Tyler, grateful.
"Thanks," Adam said. "I don't know what I would have done without you."
Tyler just smiled. "Hey, that's what friends are for, right?"
As they walked to their final class of the day, Adam couldn't help but feel grateful for Tyler's friendship. He had made a new friend who had his back, and that was something he never thought would happen on his first day of middle school.
After the final bell rang, Adam met up with Tyler outside the school. Tyler invited him to his house, and Adam accepted, curious to see where his new friend lived.
As they walked, Adam asked Tyler more about the chicken nugget trick he had done at lunch. Tyler just smiled and said that he would explain everything once they got to his house.
When they arrived, Adam was surprised to find that Tyler's house was empty. There were no signs of his parents or anyone else living there.
"Where are your parents?" Adam asked.
Tyler looked at him with a serious expression. "I don't have any parents."
Adam's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
Tyler took a deep breath. "I'm a young god. I'm still developing my powers, which is why I was able to do that trick with the chicken nugget."
Adam's mind was blown. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You're a god?"
Tyler nodded. "Yes. It's a long story, but I'll explain everything."
Tyler took Adam to his room and closed the door. He sat on his bed, looking at Adam with a serious expression.
"I'm a god of trickery and deception," Tyler began. "My powers are still developing, but I can already do things like make objects disappear and reappear."
Adam was still trying to process everything. "So, you're like a superhero?"
Tyler shook his head. "Not exactly. I have limitations to my powers, and I'm still learning how to control them. But I do have a purpose. My job is to keep the balance between order and chaos in the world. I have to make sure that everything runs smoothly, and sometimes that means doing things that might seem like tricks."
Adam was amazed. He couldn't believe that his new friend was a god. He had so many questions, but before he could ask, Tyler spoke up again.
"Listen, I know this is a lot to take in," Tyler said. "But I trust you, and I need your help. I'm still learning how to control my powers, and I need someone to practice with. Will you help me?"
Adam nodded eagerly. "Of course! This is amazing. I can't believe it."
Tyler smiled. "Good. Now, let me show you a few things."
For the rest of the afternoon, Tyler taught Adam about his powers and showed him some of the tricks he could do. Adam was amazed by what he saw, and he felt honored to be a part of Tyler's secret world.
As the sun began to set, Adam realized that he had spent the entire afternoon with Tyler, and he had completely forgotten about his nervousness and fears about starting middle school.
He smiled at Tyler. "Thanks for showing me all of this. I'm glad we're friends."
Tyler smiled back. "Me too, Adam. Me too."
As Adam walked back home, his mind was still buzzing with everything he had learned about Tyler. He couldn't wait to see him again and continue exploring his secret world.
When he arrived home, his parents asked him where he had been. Adam didn't want to lie, but he also didn't want to reveal too much about Tyler's secret.
"I was just with a new friend," Adam replied, keeping it vague.
His parents nodded, not pressing for more information. Adam went up to his room, still thinking about Tyler.
He couldn't shake off the feeling that something incredible had happened to him today. He felt like he had stumbled upon a secret world that most people never even knew existed.
As he lay in bed, Adam's thoughts drifted back to Tyler. He couldn't stop thinking about him, his powers, and their new friendship. He drifted off to sleep, and in his dreams, he was back in Tyler's room, exploring the limits of his powers and learning more about the secret world of gods.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
