The Book Of Vincent. Chapter One.

While other kids where playing outside, the dark and mysterious Vincent was at the union desk, logging onto the computer. When he got on, he typed into the search engine: ultracroom.com. When he found the link, he clicked on it to find that his log in was, as always, was not save. He thought that he was the only one that used this website. So after typing in his user name: Daikaiju, he checked his e-mail box to see if anyone left a message. There was only one. And that came from his internet friend: xqueenxofxallxgothsx. When he opened the message, he quickly scanned it.


Xqueenxofxallxgothsx
HEY!!! E-mail me when you wake up!!!!

He checked the time, and chuckled under his breath. On his clock the time was 12:01 p.m. The e-mail was sent at 11:01 a.m. ‘I am becoming popular.’ he said under his breath as he found her page and began talking away.

DIAKAIJU
Do not worry, I am not dead. Yet… Anyway, there was something you wanted to tell me?

A few minutes later…

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Okay, I just set my webpage for a private talk screen. Go there, then we will talk. Here is the link: http://ultracroom.com/user=xqueenxofxallxgothsx/private.

After copying and pasting the link into the search engine, he clicked enter to access the webpage. When he got there, XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX had already left a message to start the conversation.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Hope you got here okay. And yes there was something I wanted to talk about. Have you yet seen that movie I sent you?

DIAKAIJU
Yeah, I saw it. It was, okay. Not great. But okay. The second one was the best of all three. I don’t know why. I just like it better. Maybe because of the science overtones and also because it is the only monster film that had actually made me jump. What about you?

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
I say the third. Because of the fact that there is more of a human connection with the monsters than in the second film. Anyway, school is starting next week. How do you think it is going to go?

DIAKAIJU
I am moving.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
I hope you are moving to Colorado.

DIAKAIJU
I am moving into the Denver district.

XQUEENXOFXTHEXGOTHSX
Are you going to Denver High?

DIAKAIJU
Ninth grade?

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Don’t tell me anymore! I just found out that one of my internet friends are going to be in my grade at my school! So, when are you moving?

DIAKAIJU
Today! I am about to get out of here. Stay on the internet and I will start texting your computer from my car.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Wait! Then, how have you been able to talk to me if your house is already packed up?

DIAKAIJU
I use the apartment’s neighborhood computer. Now, I am about to log off. See you in a couple of minutes.

He quickly hit the log off button and shut off the computer. He ran from the building and jumped into his mother's car. After a few minutes down the road, he pulled out his cell phone. Logged onto the internet and put in all of his information and started texting.

DIAKAIJU
Me again. Hey I was wondering, what is Denver like?

XQUEENSXOFXALLXGOTHSX
It is heaven on earth. I mean, you just can not imagine the beauty in this place. It is one thing seeing it on t.v. but, it is a hole another experience live. First, you got the forests, then the rivers and ponds, then, the magnums opus of it all: the mountains and sky at dawn.

DIAKIAJU
Sounds perfect.

XQUENNXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Honey, you don’t know what you are saying.

Then, sadly, Vincent’s mother had to interrupt him for some stupid comment.

“Vincent, I want you to look around here to see if you can see a car that you might like.” Vincent’s mother has always been obsessed about Vincent getting a car.

“Mom,” Vincent said, pissed that his conversation had been interrupted. “I told you this already. I will think about it. So, please. STOP bugging me.” the conversation ended. He pulled out his cell phone and started typing again.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Car again?

DIAKAIJU
Yeah. I am just getting sick and tired of this. I mean, why can’t she just learn that I will pick a car when I want to.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
I guess she is just like most moms that have boys.

DIAKAIJU
Honey, you are not kidding.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Honey?

DIAKAIJU
Yes, honey. Why? Because you and me have talked over this website for so freaking long that you and me know a lot about each other.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Yeah, you are right about that… pumpkin.

DIAKAIJU
Enough acting like we are a married couple. Anything else about Denver I should know?

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Well, maybe my friends.

DIAKAIJU
Yeah, describe your friends. As in how many you have, what are they like, and things like that.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Yeah, I have five friends. They are mostly either my advisers or body guards.

DIAKAIJU
Body guards?

XQUEENXOFXALLXEMOSX
Yeah, body guards. You see, in this school district there are all of these gangs. The main ones are: ghettos, blondes, and nobodies. The ghettos are, now I am not trying to be racist, are mostly inner city kids that have taken a likening to hip-hop and gangster subculture. Kids that listen to rap, guys sag there pants so low that is just disgusting and girls were tight cloths that make me sick. And speak street language that is just repulsive. The blondes are, well, what they are described to be: dumb blondes. People other wise known as preps. They listen to pop music (like Justin Bieber). Extraordinary stupid. Then the nobodies, which are, well, nobodies.

DIAKAIJU
Sounds like Memphis and New York.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
You should know.

DIAKAIJU
Are there any other good people in Denver High?

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Well, one other group. You would fit nicely in with them. They are a group of boys that are lead by, what a lot of girls in this area consider ‘the hottest guy in Denver’: Job. I have a neutral friendship with him, so I kind of get to know what goes on.

DIAKAIJU
Sounds like a mob film. Just replace the adults with teenagers.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Well, I did write a fake story based on these people.

DIAKAIJU
You know? I did something very similar to that at my old school. I ended up getting suspended for ten days straight.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Sounds like someone at your old school was on some fine crack. Ask that person where he or she gets some.

DIAKAIJU
Sorry to burst your bubble, but after finding her guilty, they fired her.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Why did she accused you anyway?

DIAKAIJU
If you have been watching the news, then you would have seen that most schools are getting rid of nurses and counselors.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Why?

DIAKAIJU
Because of the economy, most schools are getting huge budget cuts. So the only way to save money is to fire people whom the school views as a waste of money. People like nurses and counselors. So most of these professions are trying to do everything to keep there jobs. The counselors who called the police on me looked at me like a usual innocent victim because of my heavy obsession with vampires. Do you even watch the news?

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
No.

DIAKAIJU
Why? Watching the news is where I get most of my inspirations for my stories.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
I do not watch the news for two reasons. First, because it is depressing. Like when Michael Jackson died. And second, it is just plain boring.

DIAKAIJU
IT IS NOT BORING!!!!!! It is just like watching a movie. Just, more real and people don’t have to recite lines from a script or have to act.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
They have something like a script. It is called a teleprompter. Any way. Where are you know?

‘Holy crap,’ Vincent thought as he realized he has spent a couple hours on his phone, texting his friend. Looking around, he said:

“Mom, where are we?” looking at a map, his mother told him that they were in Alabama.

DIAKAIJU
Alabama

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHS
It is going to take you guys a couple of days to get here, won't it?

DIAKAIJU
We estimated it will take three days to arrive. Our first stop will take use to Memphis, Tennessee. Then we will got to Kansas. Then finally, we will hit Colorado.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Okay, just promise me that when you go to Kansas, you will NOT be hit with a tornado.

DIAKAIJU
Okay, we won’t get hit. And even thought we are not in The Wizard of Oz.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
I AM NOT JOKING!!!! There are numerous tornadoes in Kansas.

DIAKAIJU
Okay, I promise. I thought you did not watch the news?

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHS
You here a lot of news around here. So in a way, I do watch the news.

DIAKAIJU
Listen, my eyes are getting tired from reading the screen. So, text you later.

XQUEENXOFXALLXGOTHSX
Alright, see ya!

Turning off his cell phone, leaning back, and getting a cold Tab from the cooler, Vincent started wondering what else would happen in Denver Colorado. Would he become a popular kid? Would others respect him? Or would he be treated like crap through a goose, like what had happened at his old school? Then, tired, leaned his head back and started remembering all of the details of his past.
