Take my hand child, I'll make it all go away....
He shot up in bed with sweat dripping down his face.
"Man what a dream." He mumbled to himself as he threw his legs over the side of the bed, getting up. He walked out of his room and into the bathroom, turning the shower on and adjusting the temperature of the water.
As he let the warm water run down his face for what felt like seconds, he jumps as one of his siblings bangs on the door. He must have lost track of time.
He quickly finshed washing his hair then hopping out of the shower and drying himself, he gets dressed and brushes his teeth before rushing to pack his bag and waving a goodbye and an I love you to his brother, sisters and mum.
He had a feeling today was going to be a good day as he walked down the street thinking of how his friends would greet him.
Kayleb was stubborn as hell, so stubborn in fact not even death itself would make him budge. He would probably walk up and say something like "Hey horny slut, why are you so late?"
Kasey, who could predict the future if she tried, probably wouldn't really care if he was at school or not. Nevertheless Djarome smiled at the thought and there his smile remained for the rest of his walk.
As he reached the big black gates like something from a prison, his girlfriend Rosa runs up to him with open arms. Djarome held onto her tight, swinging her around, smiling and his chest filling with joy, a feeling that flowed through his whole body, giving him butterfly's in his stomach. He held her hand they walked up to the rest of their friends. She gave him a warm reassuring smile which he returned. Standing close by Kayleb and Kasey were talking to each other, one of them laughing at the other. Kayleb's gaze found itself on Djarome and Rosa. He wandered over and locked his arm around Djarome's neck and says exactly what Djarome though he would.
"Hey horny slut why are you so late? Haha, don't tell me I know you too well. You took too long in the shower as always?" Djarome struggles to break free from Kayleb's head lock but that only makes his hold tighter.
"You must be the reason some countries don't have clean drinking water! Cause of your stupid ass forgetting what time it is!" Kayleb laughed as he kept his hold.
"Ow, ow, ow, you trying to break my fucking my neck?" Says Djarome as he breaks free from Kayleb's grasp and rubbing his neck.
"Haha, sorry I guess I don't know my own strength said Kaybleb as he laughed more, it was all in good nature.
As the bell rang they started heading towards their first class.
"Come on hurry up, you're lucky you weren't any later or you'd be in detention!" Kasey giggled as she walked up the concrete path towards the big school building along with the rest of the school. Rosa came up beside him and slid her hand into his, walking off to class with Kayleb right behind them. "Do you want me to walk you to class?" Asked Djarome with a smirk on his face as he see's Rosa trying not to blush. "Yes please, I'd love that." says Rosa visibly shying away.
Taking a turn down the hallway with a seperate walkway above them they parted ways.
"Rosa! Wait!" Djarome calls her back and wrapped his arms around her giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"I love you, see you at recess." He whisperd in her ear before walking up the stairs and disappearing from sight.
But as he walked he couldn't shake the little voice in his head.
Stop believing it. It's only an act and you know it.
"Shut up!" He says through gritted teeth while giving his head a little smack before continuing to make his way to class.
As he walks into his class, he sits down next to his mutual friend Logan who looks meek because of his lack in size but is built up by courage.
"Sup?" says Logan as he swings his hand out to shakes Djaromes as he sits.
"Yeah, I'm alright,you?" Says Djarome expecting an answer but was only met with the chatter of the classroom. Logan seemed to be preoccupied with his phone, attempting to hide a smirk
"Who you texting?" Says Djarome out of curiosity
"Just someone." says Logan not giving anything away putting his phone in his shirt pocket
"Ahhhh, okay? Do I know this person?" Djarome asked quizzically.
"Probably." says Logan quickly brushing him off and busing himself by playing with the zipper on his pencilcase
"Like on a personal level?"
"Yeah, I guess." His smirk twisted into a sneer, he must have changed his mind about hiding behind secrets.
"Like a personal, personal level?" Asked Djarome both of them already knowing it was Rosa.
"Yes-"
"it's Rosa isn't?" He cut off, already confident.
"Yes it is, got a problem?" says Logan feining disappointment
"No... Its fine, it's nothing I guess." Djarome decided it would be best to leave it but he feels goosebumps run across his entire body and gets a stirring feeling in his stomach.
See? I fucking knew something was up but you never listen to yourself do you! "Yeah sure, whatever, it's nothing!" he says. You'll learn.
When the bell rang he snapped back into reality and goes to find Rosa, but the voice does not subside, 'it seems much more active today.' He thought.
Your done for! She's gonna hurt you, rip your heart out and leave you for someone else!
"Oh for fucks sake." He whispered but one of his friends heard him "What's up Djarome?"
"Huh? Oh nah nothing bro just me and my stupid thoughts." says Djarome with a small ingenuine smile and then takes a bite out of his sandwich and pretends laugh along with everyone else until the bell rang once more for class.

"we'll I wonder what I have now?" Says djarome as he goes through his photos on his phone to find where his timetable is for his class "oh...English great" says djarome with a small sigh and heads off to class. *knock knock* "hey miss sorry I'm late I didn't know we had English" says djarome as he sits down next to Rosa "hey!" Says Rosa with a smile and Rosey cheeks "hey!" Says djarome while grabbing out his laptop "so since we're all back from the long holidays we'll have free time this class today" says the English teacher and everyone flips out there phones and starts chatting away until everything sounds blurred and fuzzy and as djarome looked around everyone he see's are intimidatingly starring at him in sync and then all of them start turning into ash and flames and burn away in-front of him leaving a horrific sight to see and then the room becomes pitch black but speaks of light shine through the darkness giving djarome limited view. He could only see a tar black desk and him sitting on a chair and as he went to get up a powerful force forced him back into the chair "w...what's going on? Why can't I move?" Says djarome in a struggle "well what a lovely memory that was...." Says a mysterious voice "wait what? Who's there?" Says djarome looking around him trying to find this mysterious voice "too bad it has a terrible ending,but I could change that?" Says the mysterious voice but sounding closer then before "what do you mean terrible ending? What's gonna happen?" Says djarome in confusion "come on now you know it already...just your not listening to yourself to believe it aren't you...." Whispers the voice in djaromes ear and as djarome turns to see who it is a shadow moves with in a blink of an eye as it sweeps under the desk and then slowly a dark smokey cloud in the shape of a clawed hand rises from the top of the desk and a dark shadow figure with demonic horns and bright bloodshot eyes staring into my soul. "What if I made a offer....an offer to make all of your worries going inside that head of yours go away?" Says the mysterious figure leaning closer and djarome gets a better look into the figures eyes as he sees like if there a portal to hell it's self with thousands of souls trapped in endless torture "and what if I don't take the offer?" Says djarome with a shaky voice as the figure shows a devilish grin and opens it palm big enough to swallow the world ,takes the shapes of a smokey mirror and shows the dreadful fate of the boy and sees djaromes face goes completely pale as if he seen his own death before his eyes...."so do you take the offer? Or end up like everyone else in this world....in the dirt were the maggots and filthy corpses are..." shouts the demonic figure as it rises taller and then lends its hand with a finger pointing towards djarome and with hesitation djarome put out his hand to make the deal but then ask "what do I have to give you in return?" Says djarome in confusion as his hand is inches away from touching the figures finger and the figure reply's with "your soul!!!" Shouts the figure as it plucks djaromes finger as it draws blood and as the droplet of blood hits the desk both djaromes and the figures eyes glow red and djarome scream in agony and then faints and then everything goes completely dark the figure whispers "I lend you my eyes so that you can see through those minds and bend them at your own will...use their power wisely....until we meet again...." Says the voice as it fades away and everything silences. *yawns* "ahhh, man a dream?" Says djarome as he gets up from his bed walking into the bathroom adjusting the temperature of the water but then he stares at the mirror and checks his eyes by pulling down on the eye lid to see if anything is wrong but then as he looks closer he sees for a spilt second his eyes glow red....
