~Chapter 1: Emiliano~

" HELP ME!" Emiliano heard an echo through his dreams, it sounded painful, full of grief and despair. The voice sounded familiar to him but he couldn't remember who it was. Remember, that was hard for Emiliano sometimes, he can't remember anything from a year ago

He's not bothered by it, he's had that dream for a few days now.

"A text from Cori? She's probably on her way" Emiliano began to prepare himself, he has a weird way of dressing according to his mother, "I'm looking nice todayyy" Emiliano admired his outfit. After putting on some makeup he headed downstairs to finish getting ready. He put his shoes on and began to walk to his backpack when he heard something, questioning what it was well all of a sudden the door flung open "DON'T LET THE TOILE- t...get you...oh-" it was Cori, she had gotten impatient waiting outside for the past few minutes and thought that Emiliano fell..... In the toilet.... "Toilet?" Emiliano asked purely confused. "You know what- let's just go to school cause I don't even wanna know" Cori just nodded awkwardly as they both headed out to Cori's car, Emiliano had his own car but he liked riding with Cori to keep each other company

Cori stopped to get some coffee and breakfast for herself and Emiliano got an horchata boba with black pearls, two energy drinks, and a pack of gum. "Bro you have to eat some food not just gum" Cori frowned. Emiliano rolls his eyes, sips his boba, and chews the pearls, "See I am eating". Cori just sighs and they both return to the car and drive to their college campus.

"What classes do you have this year emy?" {emilianos nickname btw} "Hmmm i have a lot, Wiccan studies, herbology herbalism, culinary arts, psychology oneirology {the study of dreams}, music, religious studies, and occult club with you." "....WHY DO U HAVE SO MANY CLASSES-" Cori said confused yet surprised. "I only have 4 classes; music, cosmetology, occult club, and art-" Emiliano chuckled at Cori. She has helped him so much in life, he wanted to thank her one day with a huge surprise. She deserves it. "These are the classes that keep me interested, you know I can't focus well, '' Emiliano explained.

They arrived at the college campus just in time for their morning meeting of the occult club, walking into the classroom we use for it we saw the president and vice president of the club, Rosie Ramirez and Thomas Nosa. They're the best, as we started the meeting I noticed one of my oneirology projects I kept in here was missing, weird, it probably got thrown away not that it matters. "Emiliano!" Rosie snapped me out of my wandering mind. "You spaced out through the entire meeting, we were thinking about voting for some activities to do during the next full moon. What do you think?" "yeah that sounds good, what ideas were laid out?" "Well everyone pitched in and suggested some stuff" Rosie and I talked for about 30 minutes about the ideas mentioned; exorcisms, rituals, a truth serum sleepover, and a dream-watching ritual. They're all good ideas, except for the truth serum that always ends badly.

Soon after the bell rang I headed to my first class. As I approached my class I saw one of my friends waiting outside the classroom. "Yo! How you been sleepyhead?" he asked me as we walked into the culinary kitchen/classroom together. "Hi Miguel, I've been better, how about you?" "I'm doing better, but i had a question for you", I looked at him curiously. "Que paso?/what happened?" "there's a certain someone that asked me to ask you if you have a date to the winter solstice dance" "miguel the summer solstice just passed.... The winter solstice is in 7 months, who would ask 7 months in advance?" Miguel sighs "it was Rebecca, Juan's 'friend' " I look at him with plain disapproval "then why would you ask? You already know my answer "Rebecca was actually Juan's ex friend, Juan has been a friend of mine since middle school, and rebecca.....she's what most people call a pick me. Personally, I call her a dumbass. "Tell her I said no, and that im gay! 'Pan actually-' but that's besides the point.'' Miguel nods. For the rest of the class period Miguel and I talk about our summer break plans " remember last year when you and j- oh sorry- i nevermind
