The Awakening (Discontinued)

Chapter 5

Kenzie:

Mackenzie dashed outside after she heard the sream. Just a couple feet away, Brea and Oshea were kneeling over someone. She rushed over.

"Jermz! Jermz!" Brea shook Jeremy. He layed unconcious on the ground and muttered things in his sleep.

"What happened?!" Mackenzie shouted.

"I don't know," Oshea shouted. He just conked out on the pavement. Help me find a security gaurd or someone." She rushed off in one direction as Mackenzie went in the other.

***

Fifteen terrifying minutes later, Mackenzie paced back and forth in the nurses office. Brea sat quietly, staring at the clock. Mackenzie looked up and saw the second hand tick. Each passing minute bought more and more fear to her.

"Something feels... Off," Brea muttered softly.

Mackenzie turned to look at her, stopping in her tracks. "What do you mean?" She took a seat beside Brea.

Brea managed a shaky breath, "I can't explain it, but there's a terrible feeling in my gut."

Mackenzie looked at the clock. She couldn't explain it, but she felt it too. As if something or someone was trying to warn them. A half a second later, Jeremy limped out of the nurses room. Brea shot up and squeezed her cousin, lifting him off the ground.

"Hey hey," Jeremy said laughing. "Put me down." Brea gently put him down and he hugged her.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"I'm fine. Really," he said. "Im just really hungry?"

Kenzie smiled and breathed a breath of relief. "I'm actually really hungry too. Why dont we get some lunch?"

***

After lunch, Kenzie and the gang headed to the bandroom. Seing as that was their last class of the day.

As soon as she stepped foot in the classroom, Kenzie headed straight for the back tables. She dropped her bag on the dark oak table and layed on the floor. She looked around the class for her brother, however he wasn't anywhere to be seen.

She shrugged it off, thinking he was probably running late, or making up work for another class. As the band room started to fill with all her friends and peers. Kenzie had a weird feeling in her gut. As if something bad was about to happen.

"Kenz? Hello?"

Kenzie snapped out of her day dreaming and looked up at Jeremy. "You alright?" he asked. "I've been calling your name for the longest."

"Yeah, yeah," she replied. "Just a bit tired."

Jeremy studdied her face. Kenzie tried to hide any uncertainty with a smile. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Jeremy smiled. "Alright, can you pass these out?" he asked. Handing Kenzie a stack of papers to distribute to the class.

Kenzie took the papers reluctantly and started to pass them out. As she passed the door, Kenzie looked out and saw Nick and Taylen fornicating in the halls. She smiled and shook her head.
