𑁍Her Rage𑁍 (WIP)

Chapter 2- The Dream

     It was the day after Winter Break. I walked to school, dreading the day because I knew my teachers were going to make everyone catch up for the "lost work". I slumped in at 7:00 on the dot and headed to the mini breakfast bar, said hello to a few friends, and sat down. A few minutes later, Cedra and her friend (who was kind of my friend), Kendra,  promptly joined me. "Hey," I said. Cedra nodded and Kendra gave a sleepy hello. Then, he came over. 

     You know that feeling when your heart starts beating really fast and you start sweating? You know, when your  -ahem- crush shows up? I do admit to having a crush on Javion (for context: the he who came over), but none of that stuff really happens when he's around. Most of us at this school have known each other for ages, and I've pretty much liked him since 1st grade. No one knew except Nica, but I told her years ago, so she probably didn't remember, plus, if she did, she probably assumed that I lost interest. Javion and I get along fairly well, we talk, tell each other memes, and just hang out. Anyways, it surprised me when Cedra started giggling and joking with him as if they were the best of friends. I admit to being slightly jealous, but HEY they have every right to get along, right? It's not like they like each other or anything.  They just kept on gazing at each other with crooked smiles, while I glared-but-tried-not-to at them. Meanwhile, Kendra and a few of Javion's friends who had now joined us were looking back and forth between the three of us like it was a tennis match.

     The first warning bell rang dismissing us from the awkwardness. As I rushed off the homeroom, I ran into Nica. She hugged me and we chatted as we walked. The rest of the day was pretty normal.

     When I got home though, my mom started yelling at me for not wearing a coat. I ignored her and slumped to my room. A few things you should know about my life at home. My mom has ZERO love for me. She's that one person who always reminds me that I'm worthless. Kind of Cinderella's stepmother, except she was my biological mom. She goes on about wanting a boy and how she should've gotten an abortion. My dad is oblivious to this, and he basically goes with what she says because she is SCARY. He loves me at least, though. Is the one who makes sure I'm cared for and he bought me my phone. Obviously, they both favor Zach. I ate dinner in my room as usual. I studied quietly, showered, relaxed on my phone, and went to bed.

     That night, I had a very confusing and terrifying dream. There was howling wind and flashes of white fur. I teenager's voice calling out to me. I saw Nica, Cedra, Javion, and my friend, Lucy all calling out to me from the distance. I was pulled back, into the snow. I screamed, and a pair of bright, yellow eyes flashed, and everything dissolved into darkness.......
