Nightmare

I must have been staring at that window for at least five minutes. Why? I don't know, I think I zoned out. I cannot help it, I tend to do that a lot. I finally come to and pull up on the window but it wouldn't budge.

"Damn, it's locked." I said under my breath. I pull up on it again and slowly it started to open but oh my god did it ever squeak! It sounded like nails on a chalkboard! Nearly, two minutes later with a painful headache I finally managed to open the window. I rush over to my backpack and throw some clothes to wear to school tomorrow and walk back over to the window with the pack on my back.

Now this is the point I usually get caught-

"Hey Claire you okay?" Max said as he knocked lightly on the door. Maybe I should have knocked on wood? Without answering him I climb out of my window and climb down the ladder. Hurrying as fast as possible but carefully.

"Claire!" Max yelled. I could hear him busting my locked door down.

Hurry Claire, hurry!

Finally, I make it down to the ground without being a klutz. I run over to my car starting up the engine, turn on my headlights and sped out of my driveway.

That was a close one!

Now where to go? Oh! Echo's place! I pull out my cellphone as I begin to dial Echo's number but I see headlights coming my way with a blaring car horn-

"Claire wake up! Time for school!" Max yelled from downstairs waking me up from my nightmare.

I wake up still in my school clothes from yesterday, once I pick my head up I let out a groan. My head was pounding! Did I drink last night? I look around an notice a half empty bottle of Grey Goose. I guess I did but I don't remember even drinking last night.

"Claire!" He yelled again.

"Stop yelling I have a headache." I whispered as if he could even hear me.

I did everything this morning to avoid Max. I mean why should I when he is denying the fact we kissed. Am I ugly to him? Or is it just the fact I'm immature? Maybe both?

Once I made it to school something was telling me that I should have stayed in bed. With this massive headache of mine, all the loud obnoxious students it's just making it worse.

"Claire!" I heard Echo yell from behind me. I turn around with this menacing look on my face that made her stop about five feet in front of me. "What crawled up your ass and died?" she spat out.

"Head. Ache. Don't. Talk. So. Loud" I said through gritted teeth rubbing my temples.

"Oh that's all? Here I got some Tylenol."

"Why do you have-never mind thanks." I said as she reached into her bag pulling out the medicine for me. I took it right away.

"So did you hear about the janitor?" She asked looking very enthused.

"About what happened yesturday with Morgan? You already told me Echo." I said before taking a sip of my water from my water bottle.

"No not that. He's dead!" I spewed my water out of my mouth all over Echo by accident. "Hey watch it!"

"He's dead? How?"

Echo shrugged. "From what I heard he died because of lack of nutrition and water. He was locked in that closet all weekend."

"Huh? He can unlock it from the inside. Is he stupid or something?"

She shrugged again. "He's a janitor after all." Noting the fact he couldn't get a better job than cleaning school toilets.

"True." I said taking a sip of my water again. "What of Morgan."

"She's back in school. They took her to the doctor, supposedly she had some kind of animal bite and gave her a rabies shot." I had to laugh at that one. Morgan could've had rabies. Ha!

"What are you laughing at geek?" A voice said coming from behind me. I turn around and come face to face with Morgan and her lady in waiting; Gina. "I heard Josh asked you to the dance. If I was you I would just turn him down; that is if you know what's good for you." She smirked.

"Why be such a jealous bitch Morgan? Just because he asked me instead of you? Get over yourself."

"He's just wants one thing and you know it!"

"What? Like how you put out for him the first day you both started going out and he dumped you shortly after? Sorry, but I'm not a dumb blond bimbo like you Morgan." Morgan got up pretty close to my face as soon as the words left my mouth.

"Watch it freak!" She whispered-yelled at me before shoving me up against the lockers. With that she walked away with Gina by her side both laughing as if they accomplished something.

"Wow, what a total bitch." Echo said. "Maybe she DOES have rabies?"

I smirked. "Yeah, maybe."

"Hey Claire!" I heard Josh yell coming towards us. "Echo." He said greeting her as well meeting her glaring gaze.

"Hey Josh what's up?"

"I was just wondering if you had an answer for me yet?"

"Er-I-er" I couldn't even get the answer out. What's wrong with me? Oh, yeah my headache.

"Yes, she's going." Echo answered for me.

"Echo!" I looked over at her giving her a 'what the hell' look. She just smirked at me.

"Great! I'll be picking you up around five on Friday?"

Again...I couldn't even speak. Instead I just nodded.

"Okay, cool!" He smiled, well actually it was more like a grin. I have never seen him so happy before. Josh walked away as soon as the bell rang.

I look over at Echo while we walked to class. "I hate you." I said.

"Oh, whatever you know you'll thank me later." She playfully shoved me, but because I'm a clutz I lost my balance and landed in a nearby bush..oh what a day this is starting out to be!
