Spud-Mclovin'
It was a cloudy morning that Tuesday, the sky was gray and there seemed to be no sun for it was hiding behind the clouds like a young child playing Hide-n-Seek. A casual wind blew, the leaves on the trees rustling. Birds chirped and children made their way to school, their parents on their way to work. It was a quiet morning that Tuesday.

The beeping of her alarm woke the sleeping girl up. She had the early shift at Cherry's Diner, seeing as she had no classes on Tuesdays. Her hand shot from under the covers and began to search for the button to make that God awful noise go away, and when she found it she sat up in her bed and stretched her arms. Her mid-shoulder length black hair was a mess, and her usually gleaming eyes were crusty. She had been kept up that night by an assignment. She had to write a song for her mid-semester final, and that particular night consisted of a very sharp pencil, a piece of paper, and the girl slamming her head against her desk for hours.
Getting out of bed she quickly changed into her uniform, a pair of black slacks and a checkered yellow and black shirt. She tamed her hair into a ponytail and added a bit of mascara before walking out of her small one-bedroom apartment. As she walked towards her car she tries to ignore the eerie feeling of the gray sky and the calm wind.

Gabriel hadn't slept that night, instead he had peered out of a window at the sky. He couldn't quite explain it, but he felt bad about this day. The clouds in the sky stared down at him, sending chills down his spine. "Gabe! Get up it's time for school." Calls an elderly voice from the other room, the voice belonged to Gabe's babysitter, whom he insisted he didn't need. . His parents were away on lawyer stuff, so Gabriel stayed with their neighbor. "Coming!" He replies, stepping away from the window to get dressed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
"I made you breakfast." The babysitter says, gesturing to a plate of pancakes. "I'm not hungry." Says Gabriel, not really meaning to be rude, but as he watched the old woman frown and hang her head he felt bad. "I'm sorry, just not feeling very good. This weather, I swear it."
