Chapter 1
All I can see is fire and black figures
They aren’t saying anything because I cannot hear them.
No matter how hard I try to help and reach them..
I can’t
It’s always the same dream once every month and never on the same day
Atleast that’s what I thought
It always end the same though
I run
I run away.. without thinking twice about it either and all I see are these beautiful trees with glowing dewy leaves with almost a light about them.
But once I reach them I always wake up.
But this time I wake up with a smack to the face
I growl in annoyance
" wake up freaky princess ” the voice says in a sing song tone
The voice sounds familiar and then I remember
" clove, if you don’t give me two minutes to even process what is even life, you’re walking to school ”
*gasp*
" as if you would ever leave me behind, plus it’s almost 8:30 ” she says shrugging her shoulders in a I told you so voice
My eyes and body shoot up up and open to find my phone
Clove walks to my closet without me noticing
" fuck, shit no matter how many alarms I put it never works ” I say annoyed with how Apple can make so many new phones but cannot find ways to wake my lazy butt up in time
As I run to the bathroom to brush my teeth, comb my disgusting knotty hair and put on mascara
I run out to now stress about what am I going to wear
And I know what you’re thinking how can I possibly not know what I’m going to wear
Well that’s the thing I don’t even know it’s not like I don’t have a lot of clothes because best believe ya girl does a lot of shopping
But I never can dress myself to my liking
" oh god , what am I going to wear ” I say breathless and frustrated
Cloves walks over with a smile on her face and places and outfit onto my bed
" see now aren’t you glad your best friend is here ”
I sigh and chuckled
" says the girl who just walks in my house ever since the sandbox ”
She then throws her hands up in defense
" hey, technically I didn’t barge in. You left the door open and your mom let me in, but forget that shit girl get dressed before we miss math ” she protested sarcastically as she throwed herself onto my bed
We run out my house as fast as we can to my beat up old truck
*five boring minutes later*
" ahhh, the glorious prison ” clove screams as she gets out
" cmon, this school isn’t that bad ” I replied
Clove scoffs in my direction as she walked infront of me
" says the girl who got into an argument first day of freshman year ”
I rolled my eyes because it’s sad she can remember that situation but girl can never remember her homework
" in my description it was a debate ” I replied in a I don’t know what your talking about tone
Clove scoffs at me once again
I swear this girl has a lot of spice despite her small frame
" sure a debate always ends up making a teacher quit their first day ”
We walk to first period in the long boring halls
" well I felt that very much that I was correct ” I shrugged my shoulder
Clove looks at me dead in the eyes
" it was a living environment class and all the man was saying was that dogs and wolves don’t share that much in common ” she stated with and confused look on her face
We walked into our math class with sad long faces knowing this year will be a drag
We sat by our usual seats by the windows
" and I happily said he was a flying idiot ” continuing our discussion as I get out my notebook and take out my orange juice
We both stopped and stared at each other and laughed extremely loud
People around us looked at us as if we were insane
This is what I missed
This is what I missed all summer
My friend
My one and only friend
No nightmares, no creepy family visits
Now don’t get me wrong I adore my family but my great grandparents good bless their souls
They always tell odd fantasy stories.
They always tell these stories to the children aka my little cousins
The stories were wonderful to hear when they were once told to me as a child about creatures who transform and secret communities in the woods on the far side of town
" miss Wright and miss Zraa, please focus so I can introduce the new student to the class”
The door busts open
It’s as if this all happened in slow motion
The room gets warmer I start to sweat
And my throat gets dry
And it all goes silent everyone and I mean everyone gets quiet
And then he walks in and we all just stare in either awe.
Or in jealousy.
" class this is mr. Frindlay ” the teacher was then interrupted by the most smoothest voice
He clears his throat
" actually.. I prefer to be called by my first name Kane ” he looks up to show ya his beautiful features
I look at him and within all honesty he was gorgeous..
But I have to much pride to say anything
But with my freaking luck I start to cough like a cat whose coughing up a hair ball
Then all eyes are on me and I mean all even Kane’s
" Kane please take a seat where ever you like ” Mr. Newton gestures to empty seats
I hung my head low in shame that was so embarrassing
Mr. Newton than continues on with today’s lesson
But the seat next to me moves and makes a noise
I quickly snap my head in the direction of the sound and find him staring at me with a mischievous smirk
" what’s wrong sugar ? Cat got your tongue ” Kane chuckles than look towards the board
That chuckle, his hair, his eyes
His presence
It felt like a beginning to the end..
