The noise

The teacher is talking, I think she is, her mouth is moving but no noise comes out, no noise I can hear. The only thing I hear are the noises of music, a violin, and a whistle. The melody of the instruments is getting stuck in my head, it's everywhere. In the shower, at the diner, even now in class, and that all day. I even learned to play the whistle and violin just so I can play it but every time I know it it's just gone until I hear it again, I can't forget it, learn, and forget it. Over and over, every day. 

"Angel!" The teacher said with an irritated tone in her voice. "Yes ma'am?" Please don't ask what she was explaining a couple of minutes ago, I didn't hear a thing of it, I really wanted to, but the noise blocked hers. "I want to speak to you after this lesson." That doesn't sound very well.. well I am not the best pupil, it's not that I'm dumb, cause I am not. But I just can't read any words, after reading one word, all the words turn into an ocean of words. The only thing I'm the best at is Latin, my grades are always good without learning, sometimes I even say things I never heard of. 

"You always are in the clouds with your mind aren't you?" My best friend Karisa said with a little giggle. Karisa is very sweet she's the only one I really trust and tell all my secrets to, her red hair that fits her perfectly, her blue eyes like the sky when there aren't any clouds,  her pale but not too pale skin and her big round glasses that make her eyes a little bigger. "What? Sorry, I'm not really here with my head. The noise I told you about keeps coming back." I said with a low tone in my voice so no one else would hear me. "About that, I did some research but couldn't find anything. Only stupid theories about Greek gods and demigods." That's the silliest thing that I have ever heard, Greek gods aren't even real they're just myths. I mean everything has a reason the weather isn't because Zeus needs to sh*t or sum. "Well in that case I"ll just learn to live with it. I mean Greek gods? That is literally so stupid, they don't even exist."

 As those words leave my mouth thunder goes down the sky, the lights shut down and some girls scream out of fear. "Maybe they do.." Karisa says. 

The principal came in after a couple of seconds."Calm down everyone, lightning hit the school. The power won't go on for a while, so all of you are dismissed for the rest of the day." Everyone leaves the classroom in a hurry.

"Angel wait!" Oh no, Mrs. Chelty still wants to talk to me, we walk outside, then sit down on the stair before the school. "So Angel, we need to talk about your behavior on school, the fights, stealing and not paying attention to lessons needs to stop! If you keep on going like this I will have no other choice then suspend you" I didn't even notice it was that bad.. I mean I know what I've done but it only happened a time or five. "Well I can't change myself, so just suspend me! I only stole something because the plants here are dying! People start fights with me, I just finish them! And if you want me to pay attention maybe you should teach something that's not boring cause your lessons are!" I don't know where that came in to me, I just snapped. "I- I am so sorry.." After that I ran away as fast as I could.

The tears are filling my eyes. I just keep running without seeing where I go. After 15 minutes of running I am exhausted, so I search for a place to rest. I end up in a forest, it is so beautiful and there is so much peace, you can hear the birds chirp without hearing the noise of a car or rebellion teens. Next to the river was a big tree, I don't know what it is.. the connection between me and it is weird, like it's talking to me. The tree gave me warmth and safeness, so I climbed in it, leaned back then pack my sketching book out of my bag. I start scratching, scrathing and scratching, my fingers start hurting so I stop, I look down and see what I made.. "Help me Evangeline." W- why.. what is this? Why did I make this? My thoughts get interrupted with a voice. 

"Hello? Is there someone here?" Someone yells. The footsteps come closer to the tree. "Evangeline, I know your here!" A terrifying voice said, it was like a voice of a demon... not a demon the devil.

"Evangeline, I can smell you! Your scent is the strongest I have ever smelled, it's a miracle your still alive." I climb higher up the tree and try to hold my breath. "Sweetie just come o-" "Leave her alone" Anothe voice said, the voice of a boy. Between the leaves of the tree I can see everything, the most ugly being I have ever seen, the skin was ripped off, it had big claws and two horns out of its head, it looked like one big piece meat. But on the other side there was a very handsome boy, with blue eyes and blonde hair, his hair was perfectly styled, like he was going on diner with his family.  

"Evangeline please throw your necklace down!" the boy with the blonde hair yells. I take the necklace I got from birth off and throw it down. When it lands in his hands it turn into a long sword. When the monster sees it he runs at him with his long big claws, the boy lifts the sword to the right and sweeps with the right corner the head of the monster off. The monster fals on his knees and dissapears in dust. 

"You can come down now, everything is safe.." Should I trust him on his word? He did save me, so maybe I should.

I climb down the tree the way I climbed up, on my last step the boy helps me. He takes my hand and helps me down. "What was that? Who are you? What the hell happened?!"  He puts his hand on my shoulder what gave me a warm feeling in my belly. "All you need to know for now is that you can't go anywhere alone!" That's literally no answer to the questions I asked. 

He gives back my necklace that turned back. "Goodbye Evangeline." He wants to walk away but turns back when I put my hand on his shoulder. "Wait, what is your name?" He smiles. "My name is Apollo. "
