Why she never sleeps

Chapter 1: Wake up and do it again

I finally woke up to my alarm with a jolt. I feel myself drenched in sweat. Another nightmare once again. Although I don't know if they can be considered just nightmares.....

I rub my eyes and wipe the tears that are still left in my eyes. I throw the sheets off and prepare for the day ahead of me.

I go into the bathroom and see the dark eye backs, nothing a little make up can't fix. I remove my clothing, turn on the shower knob to grab a quick warm shower to refresh myself and remove the sweat. Once the water is warm I go in and just let the water fall on my back. Water droplets dripping down my legs. This is the best part of my life, the water giving me a refreshing start to cleanse myself.

After finishing up, I get dressed and put on some make up to cover up my exhaustion. I go out of my room and my dad is there waiting for me there in the kitchen. He handed me my lunch box most likely filled with one of his best sandwiches. "You ready to go Astra?" he asked. "Yes sir". He grabs his things as I grab mine and we head to the car.

The car ride to school was quiet other than the radio quietly playing in the background, the sun barely starting to peek out. It was a nice change of pace after another experience.

The car comes to a slow stop as we arrive at the entrance of my 2nd hell. I grab my things, wish my dad a good day and walk in the place of mostly boredom.

I go to the cafeteria to grab some breakfast. I get in line and give the lunch ladies a good morning, grab my chorizo and potato burrito, pay, and head to the courtyard. I sit on the table outside and eat my breakfast in silence while watching YouTube. Finished up and headed to class before the tardy bell rang.

As I was in my seat and a few others started coming into the classroom. I was sitting there minding my business, until I heard that annoying voice. "Morning Zombie eyes" Ben teased. "Leave me alone Ben". "Aw, and if I don't?" he snarkily replied. I just glared at him. " Let me guess, you gonna bite me and turn me into a zombie like you? Ha, no thanks, guess then I'll look dead like you." He continued to yap not noticing the teacher was right behind him. The teacher cleared his throat and Ben froze. "Good morni-" Ben was cut off. "Ben Dolion, be at your seat while I write your referal then head to the AP's office. I quietly smirked as the consequences unfolded.

Ever since the one time I forgot to put on make up one time after a sleepless night. Ben and his little minion friends have never stopped calling me zombie eyes.

The day continues, I go home, then evening once again strikes....The time I hate the most as I dread what is to come. Eat dinner with dad, help with dishes, finish homework, and dreadfully head to bed. I'd rather have the nightmares here than at school or around anyone else for that matter.

I close my eyes and soon enough I'm in the abyss. I feel myself falling deeper and deeper, seeing the memories and past experiences. Then I feel like I'm being enveloped and drowned in the darkness.

Then I hear one of their sweet yet sickening voices. "Are you ready, Astra?" Moonlight asked.
The world everything around started to fade and I was once again in another world.

Meaning the start of a new hell to face.....
