Extraterrestrials

Extraterrestrials

CLAAAAAANK! The rusted locker sounded as it was thrusted shut for the last time of the year.
"What the hell, Boggle. Why do you always slam your damn locker every time!" Troggle said.
"Chill out, bro," said Oggle.
"It’s the last time I will ever even be in this school, and I'll do what I like…" Boggle said.
"I can't take this school anymore, these last four years at Moonrock High have been terrible," Troggle said in a dreadful tone. "Being with you two alien brats hasn't made it any easier either."
"You think you are really great because you are two minutes older huh" Boggle said.
"Just drop it already, it's your fault we all ended up in detention anyway, now I have to spend the first thirty minutes of my summer with Dr. Oog."
The aliens floated down the hall, due to zero gravity, and into their final detention as high schoolers. The moment they stepped in, the oldest, ugliest, and meanest teacher in their school, Dr. Oog, greeted them. "You're all late," he said not bothering to lift his head up from his Moonrock Times newspaper. The boys didn’t respond, and took their usual seats in the far right corner of the room. The class was filled with students who couldn't resist staying out of trouble before the final bell of the year rang. They reached under their desks and gathered the three straws they had taped underneath, which they had always used to spit zero gravity spitballs at their most hated teachers.
"Oggle do you have the stuff?" Boggle asked.
"Are you kidding bro? I have an even better idea" said Oggle. "This is the last time we have a chance to get revenge over this jerk."
Oggle opened his bag, and took out a huge wad of his old assignments, homework assignments, and reports. He picked up the wad and stuffed the hundreds of papers into his huge alien mouth. He crunched them down into the shape of a ball with his tongue. The finished result was a spitball the size of a basketball, dripping with alien saliva, like a soggy tennis ball that had just come out of a golden retriever's mouth. "Now this is a spitball," he said, feeling satisfied.
The aliens waited patiently for the final minutes of their detention to come to a close so they could hurl their oversized spitball and dash out of the classroom. "Okay Boggle, you have the best arm, I think you should hurl this thing."
"You guys are so dumb. You are either going to completely miss him or have us get arrested by the Men In Black" said Troggle.
"Will you stop being such a downer?! This guy made me redo my paper three times, and gave me a failing grade for my quarter. This is revenge," cried Boggle.
"The key to hitting him is to aim at his feet because the zero gravity will pull the ball up and it will hit him straight in the head," whispered Oggle.
"I know," Boggle said in disgust,."I have been doing this all of my life." The boys waited for the final moments of their detention period to come to a close. As the clock struck 3:59:55, they started the countdown.
"5…4…3…2…1"…DING, DING, DING!!! As the old bell sounded, the boys shot up out of their seats. Boggle hurled the spitball with all of his alien strength towards the nasty professor. The moment Dr. Oog lifted his head from the politics column in the local newspaper, he was met by a soggy wad of saliva soaked paper. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of pages went floating everywhere, covering the classroom in a white, snowy wonderland. The papers provided great foliage for the triplets as they dashed out of the room as fast as their two-legged bodies would let them.
"Lets go! We gotta hurry," yelled Troggle. "The shuttle takes off at 4:05!" The boys rushed to the shuttle, barely making it, and rode the shuttle into their town. They arrived at their house at half past four, sat down on the couch, and watched the news on their plasma screen TV.
"Breaking news," the alien reporter said as the TV turned on. "Starting tomorrow, a summer exchange program sending aliens from the moon to Earth will be commencing. Any graduating students who wish to live amongst humans this summer will have the opportunity to do so. If any students would like to go on this trip, they should report to the Neil A. Armstrong shuttle center by 5:00 am tomorrow morning. Each student will receive a 'skin', or a full body suit made out of human flesh that will be used to cover up their tail, scales, and alien body. This will allow them to blend in with the humans when they are visiting earth. Isn't that right, Loog.?"
"Yes, it is, Joog. Alien graduates wishing to receive these "skins" will receive them free of charge, thanks to our government. It's quite humorous, actually. We have been sending thousands of aliens each year to live amongst the humans yet they still haven't figured out that we exist."
"Yeah, that’s right, Loog. You would think the humans would be smart enough to figure out why their population has been rising drastically over the years, but I guess we can't all be intergalactic geniuses. I mean, this is a culture that is still amused by kicking a ball into a net…"
"That’s it," Boggle said. "We are going to that exchange program", he said as he turned off the TV.
"I'm down," said Oggle, "Its just Trog we have to convince. He would be the only one who wouldn't want to go."
"I'll come," Troggle said as the other two looked surprised. "It would actually sound interesting to live amongst a different race, and study a new culture."
"You are such a nerd, but I'm happy you want to come, we should get some rest. We have a big day ahead of us."
The next day, the three brothers woke up, and made their way to the shuttle center. They browsed the possible "skin" choices and decided on the skins of three Japanese 15 year olds. After hours of custom fitting, they were finally fitted in their skins. After it was done they looked completely human. Their tails were hidden, their scales were covered, and they looked like normal Japanese boys. At 7:00 a.m. they were put onto a space shuttle and sent off to Hawaii. On the way to the islands, they were briefed on everything they would need to know to live on the islands including Hawaiian history, island culture, and Japanese language. At 9:00 a.m., the shuttle, which looked like a normal airplane, touched down at Honolulu International Airport.
The aliens spent their summer venturing around the islands, making friends, and becoming accustomed to living in human society. They had gotten so familiar with the islands it was like they had lived there for their entire lives. When the time came for the boys to go back to the moon, they unanimously made a decision to stay and live on Oahu like so many of their fellow aliens had. They bought a house in town, and since they looked only 15, they enrolled in Punahou School.
CLAAAAAANK! The locker sounded as Boggle slammed his Pauahi locker shut for the first time of the year. "Are you serious? First day of the year and you are already slamming your locker…" said Troggle
"Chill out brah, it's the first day you don't have to be so uptight." Oggle remarked. "Yeah really, just relax. Nobody is going to figure out who we are, we blend in perfectly, just act like everyone else."
And so they were off. They went off to their classes, made a few friends, found their own niche in the school society, and continued to spitball their teachers. Hundreds of people passed them by each day, completely unaware of who they were, and what their story was. They were completely disregarded by many, and few bothered to take the time to get to know them. They were aliens living amongst humans. A thought that many humans wouldn't come close to considering. Who can we trust?

I wanted to write this story to show the possibility of having aliens on Earth. I have read many books, and seen many movies and TV shows, about aliens on Earth so I decided to write my own story about them. I feel that it is very possible that aliens will live among us in the near future if they haven't already.
