Uzi Pov
Today was the day she was going to do it. Today was the day that she Uzi doorman was going to prove that the supernatural does exist after all. Ever since she was a kid Uzi was in the words of her Father obsessed with the supernatural. He always seemed to blame it not on her but more on her mom Nori for allowing this to happen and not being into something normal like doors. But after an incident when she was in kindergarten with him forgetting to pick her up from school because of work she had a disdain for those dumb doors.
So now today was October 3rd. The day where she exposes the supernatural For being real. She has been suspecting that the empty house across the street is home to some activity as the lights seem to always turn on during The night. So tonight she was going to go over to that house and see what she was truly dealing with.
But First she had to get through another boring school day. So Uzi got dressed in her typical outfit of her black jacket and boots and purple shirt underneath it. Then she began to head downstairs and off to her living room to see her father there reading the newspaper until noticing her coming down the stairs.
“Hey. There’s my second favorite woman in the house.” Khan happily says to Uzi.
“Morning Dad.” She tells him while completing heading down the stairs to the living room.
“So what are you going to be doing today in School, daughter of mine.” Khan asks her with interest.
“Today is the day I’m going to prove the supernatural exists .” She tells him in a determined voice.
“Oh. That old phase you used to have.” Khan then said to her.
“It’s not a phase Dad. It’s my goal in life to prove that the supernatural does exist somewhere. This town is not normal.”
“Sweetie. I have been in this town for over 40 years and nothing strange has happened here.” Khan reminds her.
“Mom believes in this thought process that this town is not right.” Uzi says while putting on her traditional jacket from the hanger.
“I blame her sister for believing all that nonsense.” Khan then said in annoyance.
Khan and Nori’s sister Yeva never seemed to get along as many times Nori tried to do it over the years. He thinks that she is almost as much of a believer in the supernatural as Her and Nori are much to his dismay sometimes.
“Uzi? Are you sure you can’t just have a normal hobby like other teenagers?” Khan then asks her with slight concern.
“Being normal is being lame. I don't want to be lame dad.” Uzi explains to him.
“Well. I can’t stop you. What I have learned from your mother is that you and her are stubborn when it comes to a mission” He says to her while returning to look at his newspaper.
“Now in case this whole mission falls apart you can always join me in the hardware store and work on doors.”
“I'd rather work in the grocery store with Thad before that happens.” She tells him while getting her backpack on.
“Come on? One time for your old man?” He says to her.
“I will think about it. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.” She tells him.
”I’m still counting that as a Yes.” Khan says to her.
“We will see about that. Bye dad. Tell mom I love her as well.” She says to him while leaving the house.
“See ya my little butterfly.” He then said to her in a loving manner.
“Don’t call me that.” Uzi muttered while heading out the door.
And so Uzi began her traditional walk to school that she always did due to Mom always working early in the office and Dad working in his hardware store always. So it was just her,the autumn wind and the barely open sun like always. Of course she always enjoyed the walk as it was nice and cool to have. The only time that her morning walks were ever boring was when…
“Well look who it is.”
Of course. Lizzy Sparker. Copperville's Number One Prep Girl,Number One skeptic to the Supernatural. No matter how much evidence is presented to her she still doesn't believe it. The only thing she cares about is fashion,being popular and her status.
It was too early for her to deal with her preppy attitude so she decided to just keep walking and ignore her which was hopefully easier said than done as she was in her car. But that plan went out of the window quickly though as Lizzy rolled down her window and looked at her from the driver's seat. Well. Might as well get it over with.
“All right. What do you want, Sparker?” Uzi asks her bitterly.
“Just wondering if you were going to embarrass yourself today with your whole supernatural stick.” Lizzy said to her while continuing to drive slowly.
“Why? Do I bore you?” Uzi snarks back while continuing to walk.
“Yeah. And I don’t want you ruining my future with your whole “Vampires are real” Thing.” Lizzy tells her in a mocking tone.
“Why does myself matter to you?” Uzi then asks Lizzy.
“Because in my future if I have an important interview and they ask me about my past I’m not going to ask them about my school life because that means acknowledging you.” Lizzy informs her.
“Oh no. I’m a threat to your career. I’m such a jerk compared to you.” Uzi said in a sarcastic tone.
“Why am I bothering to still talk to you?” Lizzy then asks her while beginning to roll up her Car’s window so she can begin to leave.
But before she could complete that task another voice then came up from behind and up to Uzi.
“What’s Shaking Z.”
It was Thad. Her best and basically only friend. He has known her for the longest and while doesn’t completely understand everything she’s talking about does believe her in the supernatural. She just wishes that he would sometimes stop trying to be a girl magnet in School.
“Hey Thad. It's going well.” Uzi told him telling him Things are Good.
“Ugh. It's The Jock who thinks he's a hot shot.” Lizzy groans in annoyance at Thad's presence.
“Hey Liz.” Thad says to her while pointing at her in a cool manner.
“Yeah. Not interested. I'm out of here.”
So Lizzy then finally decided to drive off in her car leaving Uzi and Thad there on the sidewalk until they returned to continue walking to School.
“She's not going to be into you.. or any girl in School.” Uzi honesty tells him.
“I don't get it. I tried everything but nothing seems to get the ladies. I even put on deodorant.” Thad says in annoyance.
“Ew. Did not need to know that.” Uzi said in Disgust.
“Sorry. But what am I supposed to do?” Thad apologizes and wonders what he is supposed to do.
“I'm sure you will find someone who is interested in you just like how I will prove the supernatural exists.” She reassures him.
“Will you remember me when you're famous after discovering the supernatural?” Thad asks her.
“Of Course. You're my best friend. Unless I'm Turned into a complete monster and I have basic understanding of speech.” Uzi tells him while then adding in a Creepy fact.
“Can that really happen?” Thad asks her in slight surprise.
“If I'm not careful. Which won't happen. Tonight I'm going over to the first location where I suspect there is supernatural activity across the street in that old house.” Uzi lets him know her plan for tonight.
“You mean the house that no one has lived in for decades?” Thad says wanting clarification that they are talking about the same one.
“Yep. That one. Tonight I'm going over there and see what's going on.”
“Is it legal to go over to an abandoned house without a warrant?”
“It's not for sale.” Uzi remarks to him.
“Fair point.”
“After tonight Thad this school is going to see me under a new light. Not as the Weirdo Goth but as a discoverer of the Unknown.” She proudly declares to him.
But then her whole idea and proposition was taken over by The School Bell outside ringing to her annoyance.
“After I go through School.” She then said to Thad in a bored manner.
