Beep beep, beep beep! “Ughh.” I groan. I shut off my alarm and begrudgingly get out of bed and trudge into the kitchen. I quickly make myself some chocolate chip pancakes before I head to work. Mmmm! They look so good, smell good too! I dig in and wait for the chocolate taste to hit my taste buds. Wait a second? I can barely taste it! Oh no, am I coming down with the flu?! Ugh, just my luck! Sick before an important work meeting! Ugh! I finish getting ready and head to work.
*Lunch time*
I order in some food from my favorite Chinese place and start to eat. Oh great, now I can’t taste anything! This sucks! I finish eating without tasting a single thing and get back to work.
*Dinner*
Hours later and I still can’t taste! You know what? I’m going to go get this checked out at the doctors office.
Once I get into the doctors, he runs a bunch of tests. And now we wait…
Ok, apparently I have a condition that makes me lose my taste… great. I guess I’ll just have to try and make the best of it.
Alright, time to go to my archery lesson. I hope it goes well… Hi! My name is Isabelle, I’ve never done archery but I’ve always wanted to try it, I just finally worked up the courage to learn.
*At the lesson*
The guy at the counter greets me and tells me to head to the back where my instructor is waiting. I go in to the room and am instantly awed by the impressive arrangement of bows. “Go ahead and choose a bow.” My instructor tells me. I look back over at the racks. They all look so beautiful! It’s a tough decision but I finally spotted the one. It’s a medium sized bow with a pretty floral design etched into the wood. I pick it up and my instructor starts the lesson. After a while, I start to get the hang of it and am shooting bullseyes left and right! At the end of the lesson I go home feeling satisfied. This has been the most fun I’ve had in a long time and I’m glad I took a chance and stepped out of my comfort zone!
I turn to see Zeke lying limp on the ground, blood oozing from where the knife went in. No, no, no! This can’t happen, he can’t die! I can’t lose him, I need him! Please be alive, you’re the only person I have left! His attacker, I refuse to call him his killer, he just can’t be dead, pulls the knife out of Zeke’s side and grins a psychotic grin as Zeke writhes in pain, screaming, on the floor.
“How could you?!?” I scream. “How could you do this? You used to be so nice you weren’t even able to kill a fly! Let alone a human being! We used to be best friends! What happened to you?!”
“I was never your friend! I never liked you! I had to sit and watch you have everything I’ve ever wanted and pretend I was happy for you! I never got the chance at having a happy life! So I decided to take everything from you instead, so you could see how it feels to have nothing, just like me! ”Matthew screamed.
“How dare you try to kill my boyfriend because you’re jealous of me! You traitor!”
Matthew delivers the fatal blow and smirks.
”Oh I didn’t TRY to kill him, I DID kill him and you see, I’m not a traitor, I was never on your side.”
