I screamed jerking upwards, sweat dripped down my face. I gasped for breath, my hands on my throat as if trying to get someone's hands away. I look around the room cautiously and exhale. My heart beat slows down, I close my eyes and lay down. I opened my eyes, now breathing normally I stare at the ceiling confused. What did I dream about? How did I forget so quickly? I shake my head and lay in bed staring at the ceiling.
Before I even know it, light flutters through my window. I look at the time and see it's 5am. I shake my head and get up and go get breakfast, I'm glad no one else is awake, I can eat all by my lonesome. I smile to myself, I take my time eating captain crunch cereal. As I finish I quickly get to the bathroom before anyone else charges down the hall. After my shower I rush to my room and get dressed, later I hear laughter coming from the bathroom. I roll my eyes and head back my room to get my bag.
Running out the door before anyone realizes I'm gone, at 7:00am. Everyone could easily walk to school, but they'd rather take the bus. It's only a half an hour walk.
As I get to school I keep my head up and go to class, as usual I'm the first one there. I always think to myself sarcastically, I'm the girl who gets bullied, I'm the girl who has no friends. I'm Half wrong! I simply don't talk to people, I could easily make friends, but I just choose not to. I don't like people, I basically shut every one out and they shut me out. If someone's making fun of me, I probably won't hear it, because I don't understand their language of stupidity.
My teacher, and very attractive teacher I must say, walks up to his desk casually. Soon enough people come in sitting at their desks. Some don't sit and just talk to friends. The bell rings and the day starts.
~~~~
As everyone runs out of the classroom, the last period of the day, I take my time getting my stuff. As I slowly walk out I hear my name being called out.
"Allison." An adult female calls. I turned towards my teacher, she looks up at me from her desk. I don't say a word, I just look down at her, waiting for her to speak.
"This essay you turned in the other day, wasn't even close enough to the description I had told you to write about." She exclaims. I clear my throat.
"Mrs. Carwel, I did do the essay. You told me to write the essay about a book I read." I replied calmly. She sighs and rolls her eyes.
"I have never read the book. So why should I give you credit for that?" She raises her voice, and I start to get irritated.
"It shouldn't matter if you have read it or not, you're my teacher, you gave me directions and I followed them. Now give me the damn credit." I was leaning forward, my hand on her desk, I nearly took her face off. She glares at me and stands up, towering over me like a building in New York over a small house. I still don't stand down, I look up at her and glare. She gets her pen out, and writes something down on a piece of paper. Fear rushes through me, oh shit. She rips the part she wrote on, and hands it to me without a word.
"Enjoy detention." She says sarcastically as I walk out of the classroom. I look at the paper.
Detention, 2:30, [Date](tomorrow).
I don't have to show Miss Baton. Just between me and the school, it's not her business.
I get to the house, and right as I walk in, Katie, takes the paper from my open backpack pocket. She holds it in the air.
"Give it back." I demand.
"What's this?" Totally ignoring me. "Hmm, detention huh? Well I better tell Miss Baton."
Anger boils in my stomach, I tackle her to the ground. She lets out a squeal. I try to grab the paper. I was on top so I was in charge. Before I could even slap her. A voice boomed from upstairs.
"What the hell is going on?" Miss Baton yelled. She stopped on the stairs as she saw me on Katie. I slowly get off and let her stand up. She gives me a snare look. Her face suddenly changes and she grins innocently at Miss Baton, Katie walks up to her handing her the paper. I cross my arms across my chest. So much drama for one piece of paper.
I look up at my "owner". She looks at me with fury. She nearly runs to me and grabs me. "What the hell is this?"
I shrug, not showing emotion. "I don't know, a piece of paper?" I say sarcastically.
"Don't be a smart ass, what does the paper say!?" She spits in my face.
"You can't read?" I remark. She lifts her hand as if to slap me, but she doesn't. I know she wouldn't. She sighs, lifting her hand to her face.
"I let you go to school, and you do this?" She yells.
"It's not like I have a choice to go to school." I tell her.
"I can't believe you're the most incapable child ever, even your grades are terrible! Your parents would be ashamed. Maybe that's why they left!" Anger boils in my chest, my grades aren't that bad, and my dad never left me.
"You don't know my parents! You don't know!" Angry tears flow down my face.
"No wonder no one wants you. And no wonder no one likes you. You're a sad girl, and waste of a breath." She barks, I had enough of this woman animal thing, I storm off to my room. "Where are you going? I'm not done talking!"
I stop and turn around, "Yes, you are. Go blame someone else of your failures and ugliness." And I turn and go in my room. I lock the door and crawl in bed. I sob and scream into my pillow. By the time I stopped crying it was sunset. I don't wanna leave my room, but I'm so hungry. I wish my grandpa was here. I miss him, I miss my dad and my brother. But my mom, I hate her. She left me, she didn't want me. No one wants me. Maybe Miss Baton is right, I am just a stupid girl. I look up at the sky, almost dark. Clouds cover the night sky, a tear leaves my eye. No comfort tonight, I lay my head on my pillow. I soon fall asleep.~~~~~~
I hear my window open slowly, I open my eyes groggy from sleep. I look around the room, and my window. My window was closed, no one to be seen. I look to my right I see a figure. It couldn't be a person, it was a dark transparent figure of a person. Glowing yellow eyes. He looks at me with his head tilted innocently.
A jolt of fear climbs up my body, I crawl up closer to my wall away from the figure. He sits next to me, staring at me. He reaches for me but I get farther away from him, there was hurt in his eyes. I felt guilty, but why? This stranger was in my room, I didn't know who it was or is. It lightly touches my leg, I flinch when his cold hand touches my skin. I felt peace as I stared at him, I swallow hard.
"W-who are you?" I ask in a whisper, he closes his eyes and touches my leg again. Images of an island and a boy with reddish hair and faded clothes. An image of two stars in the sky appears in my mind. I look at the stranger in surprise.
"What did I just see? Who are you? What do you want with me?" His soft eyes his stare into mine. Without speaking words, I knew what he wants.
"You want to take me to that island, don't you?" He nods and stands up holding his hand out to me. This has to be a dream. I'm going insane.
A bang on my door rang through my room, Startling me.
I hope you enjoy, if you do, make sure to leave a vote and a comment, only if you want to of course.
See you on Saturday!
