Camila
The day was already going weirdly for her. She didn't know what was happening exactly, everything felt detached somehow. Like she was underwater watching a scene unfold instead of actually participating.
Even Dinah said so. And Dinah was clueless as fuck when it came to these things.
Camila splashed her face with cold water.
Get a grip.
Even under the sunlight that streamed into the tiny bathroom, Camila thought her complexion looked different. Her eyes zeroed in on the scribbled writing on one of the door's of the bathroom stalls behind her.
Mr. Gibens is sleeping with Mr. Dosher. She stifled a laugh at the thought of her science teacher sleeping with the gym teacher. Her eyes unfocused ever so slightly when she noticed the words change. She almost missed it, but she caught the blurred movements from the corner of her eye.
CAMILA CABELLO, AGE 18
Camila quickly whipped around so fast, her head spun for a second. The words scrambled to disappear just as quickly it had formed.
"What the hell is that?" Camila screamed. There was a whirring noise behind her. She turned to the mirror and stumbled backwards.
ERROR 404: CAMILA CABELLO, AGE 18
Beneath the words was an array of pictures from different times in her life. Her first birthday, the first time she rode a bike, her tear stained face as she pouted at the camera on her first day of school. Her graduation from elementary school, the middle school dance, her sweet sixteenth.
Before she would even comprehend anything, the mirror turned in to a black screen. Somewhere outside, something was ticking.
THERE HAS BEEN A GLITCH.
Camila couldn't stand it any longer, she sprinted out of the bathroom and into the hallway. It was absolute chaos. It looked as in a hurricane had swept through the school. Lockers were torn open, papers littered the floor and worst of all, there was no sign of anyone else, an eerie silence hung in the air.
She could hear the whirring again. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Slowly, she turned around. On one row of lockers in red paint- please let it be red paint- had the words THIS IS A GLITCH, written on it.
Suddenly, there was a strong wind like a vacuum, forcing Camila forwards and then there was nothing at all.
