The Humanoid

"Move, move out of the way."

"Haha, look at her, she's a total joke!".

Woah. It happened again. I'm at school walking in the middle of the halls. No one is laughing at me. I've been having these visions as if I'm looking through some other girl's eyes. I need to find her.

I slam my locker and head to 3rd period. I'm walking through the halls. I look to see if anyone is laughing at some girl. Nothing. It's weird and it happens all of the sudden. There is no pattern to these "visions". They come and go. I told Mom, but she thinks it's a joke. I told my friend, and she seems to believe me. She made me tell her everything that happens in these "visions".

"Listen, Maddie, we have to find that girl," my friend Nicole told me a few weeks ago.

The visions started just a couple of weeks ago, on my first day of 7th grade. It's so weird, and each "vision" I see is where that girl gets bullied.

I open the door to my Spanish class, my third-period class. It's my favorite class. I like knowing Spanish, and it's the class where we have the least homework.

After third period I go out to the outdoor benches for my break time. I see Nicole looking for me, so I wave her over.

"Hey Nicole, how was your third period?" I ask.

"Pretty good. Hey Maddie I might have found the girl that everyone is laughing at. Ya know, the girl in your visions. Her. I asked one of the popular kids in my class, and they told me her name. Turns out she is in my 4th-period class. I'll tell her then, okay?" Nicole says all in one breathe, and excitedly.

"Woah. Okay". It's not that I don't trust Nicole, but all the info shocked me. I trust Nicole because she has a way with words and people.

"Thanks so much, Colie," I say using her nickname that only me and her parents call her.

"No problem. I'm so excited to talk to her. I really want to find out what's happening to you. I'll give her your number so you can get more info for yourself, sounds good?" Nicole asks.

"Ya perfect sounds good. Thanks so much, Nicole. I really want to see what's up," I tell her, super grateful that Nicole is my best friend.

The whole time during fourth period, I was thinking about the girl and Nicole. I was really scared. What if it was really bad. What if it would send me to jail. 4th-period finishes and I get a text.

"This is all weird, I know. I was worked on by scientists years ago. I'm an android, more humanoid though. Someone put a chip in your head for you to have the ability to see through my eyes. You might be asking, why me? Well, the scientist's found out that your blood, or at least some of it, would work to power their project, me. Yes, I have some of your blood. It might sound very fictional, but it's all real. Call me after school, or whenever you can. Hope you understand more. Also, the name is Jenna. And no need to tell your parents about this".

It all sounds so fake, so fictional. And she basically told me not to tell my parents. The rest of the day goes by in a blur.

After I get off the bus, I run into my door. I pull out my keys and unlock the door. Mom and Dad are not here, and Mom is not coming for another 2 hours. I grab a big pack of Cheeze-its and head upstairs to my bedroom.

I get my phone out of my backpack, and FaceTime Jenna, the humanoid. Sounds so wrong to say.

"Oh hey," I say when she picks up.

"Hey. I know this is super awk, but let's get started. So basically what I told you in the text is everything. One thing is that when your Mom gave birth to you the doc's were testing every baby's DNA to see if it was strong enough for the scientist's project, me. When they tested you they found a lot of blood, but it was good blood. Your mother wasn't aware of the situation at all. That's why you can't tell her. Once they got the blood from you they sent it to the scientist's lab. The scientists were funding the hospital millions and millions of dollars every year for helping them. They were going to use me to show off to the world and start making more humanoids to make society modern, I guess. I know it might sound fake and dreamy, but it'slet not. I managed to escape, because the first moment I saw them, I saw that they had some weird "evil" plan. Oh and also after taking the blood, the Doc's put the chip in your head".

"Wow. Now if feel so used. What about Dad, I mean my Dad that is. And where do you live now, with who?" I ask with a burst of anger.

"Okay, your Dad knows about this. The Doc's told him he would get big bucks if he was quiet about it. They told him everything, and he has kept it a secret for years. He thought it would be easier to just work at that specific hospital. So that's how your Dad became a Doc. And as for me, I got adopted. I faked everything. It took a while but here I am. I live two blocks away from the school". Things are starting to piece up. Jenna explains a bit more when I hear the door creak. Then I hear someone scramble away. I don't bother with the door. I eat my Cheeze-its and let Jenna clear herself up, and let her tell me about myself.

"So why am I just having the visions now?".

"Well, the chip was programmed to make you have them at this specific time."

Suddenly the door shakes open.

"MADDIE, IS THAT JENNA, OH YOU BETTER GET OFF THE PHONE RIGHT NOW".
