Chapter 2
“Mr. Potter, care to share your thoughts?”
Shit, I said that out loud.
“ Ya, that's just crazy how things from across the world and a century in the past can cause such a ripple effect that we see it in almost everything, even if we don't notice it”.
“Yes, that is … crazy, but please keep your outburst internal.” “Ok?”
“ Yes, Mrs. T, I will remember that”
I say as I salute to her. She just smiles and continues on with her lesson. Oh god, what a relief, I thought I was a goner, but did I really see that I mean a flying car is just crazy, right?
The bell finally ends, and I rush out of class to get to my job on time. As I walk to the bus stop, I can’t help but think back to what I saw, was that just a weird looking plane that was also really low to the ground. It’s not a big deal that no one else noticed. I'm just seeing things, that's fine, right?. As I get onto the bus, I do my best to forget and not to worry about it.
I rush into work, so I can clock in before I need to grab a manger to do it. As I make my way to the back, so I can get changed, I’m greeted by everyone I pass,
“hey Harry”,
“sup Harry”, and the likes.
I hit them back with a smile and wave. God, I don’t want to be here, but I need the money and if I wasn’t here I would still be working but unpaid, this is definitely the better of the two. I make my way to the dinning area to start the next eight hours of my life. As I work I see a car pull up, and it's the same car I thought I saw flying, it's the same make and colour, this is one hell of a coincidence. Three red heads come out of the car and I can't help but keep an eye on them. Then the host sits them in my section. I put on my customer service face and go over to take their order.
“Hello, what kinda drinks can I get started for you?” I say in the high-pitched voice.
“ Can I get a water.” two of them say in unison.
They looked like they were copied and pasted, so I'm summing they were twins.
“Ok, two water, and what can I get for you?” I say as I turn to look at the third.
He looks up from the menu and says, “I’ll have a water too.”
“Ok, three water coming right up.”
But before I can turn away, one of them comments on the scar on my forehead.
” that a cool scar.”
Taken aback, i just jokingly say, “ya don’t know where my parents dropped me to cause this.” I slightly giggle at the end and successfully make my escape.
They didn’t seem like people who drove flying cars, but then again, what do people who drive flying cars look like. As I bring out their waters, I see them pull out a stick and wave it about. Ok, what the actual fuck, but as I start to just think of them as weirdos, a man a couple booths down gets up but falls because his shoe laces are tied together. That's weird, but today's been a weird day. As I move closer, I see them wave the same stick, but then the ketchup bottle starts floating and squirts its contents on the none twin. I stop in my tracks and stare. Did I really just see that, sticks don’t usually make things fly? That's not normal, but as my brain is trying to come up with logical solutions to what I saw, the none twin take out his own stick and waves it and the mess is gone. I lose it, and by lose it I mean sensation in my body, I drop their drinks to the floor. All three look at me, and we stare at each other for what felt like forever until one of the twins gets up.
