Right as the thing lashed out at me I woke up. I awoke in a cold sweat. I felt like I was so out of breath like, like my dream was a reality. I look over at the clock and it said 4:30 a.m. I have to get up to get ready for school.

I didn't want to go back but I did any way. As I sat on the bed breathing hard my dad walks in. I could see only a slim lighting on his face within the dark. I couldn't tell what expression he had. "Glad you're up...time to get ready for school."

There was a slight hint of fear in his voice. He just walked out of the room. I lean over and cut on the lamp. It kind of made my eyes hurt. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. I look in the mirror. I see my white and red hair, my gold eye and red eye. I think to myself...this is amazing. My hair was a mess.

I look on the counter and find my straightener that my mom gave me. I thought I would start crying looking at it, but I just smiled. It got hot enough, I started brushing out my hair and started to straighten it. After I was done I looked at it and it looked awesome. I walked back to my room. I couldn't see a thing.

I stop right at my door. Somehow it felt like something was coming near me. It reached my door and stuck a hand out. It seemed like it wanted me to take it. I got lost in thought while looking at the hand. I never noticed my dad was there at the stairs. He walked down the hallway to see me and the hand standing there. He was now behind me. He says,"For gods sake boy cut on the light and stop scaring your girlfriend." Girlfriend? What did he mean? Who was he talking to?
