Velvet Tears

NIGHTMARES-Chapter 2

I fell asleep shortly after my deep thoughts. I was startled out of my sleep by the nightmare I just had. It was the same every time, I was underwater and I couldn't breathe; the water was slowly filling my lungs and I was trying to swim upwards, but I kept sinking in the
vast emptiness, the more I struggled the deeper I sunk, until I woke up. The dream never changed and I always woke up distressed, soaked in a cold sweat and with the feeling of a presence that could chill my soul. The sweat plastered my hair on my forehead, I needed a shower.

I got out of my new bed and made my way to the en-suite bathroom . The floor was tiled in greyish-blue squares, the bath tub was sparkling white and could fit at least three people in it, just next to it was a shower, it had two sliding doors that led into a baby blue tiled wall, and a silver shower head hung just above. It was all so beautiful I couldn't believe it. I noticed there was a cabinet above the sink, I opened it there was lots of facial creams, brand new tooth-brushes and toothpaste. Next to the sink was a radiator with fresh towels on it, they smelt like lavender and they were extremely soft. I quickly got undressed and made my way to the shower. I fiddled about with the buttons on the shower for about ten minutes until I eventually figures out how to switch it on. Back at home we had one button and when water came out it was always like war and then it would go cold and then like war again and the cycle would go on, I got used to it though, it was the only option we had.

I had a longer shower today because the water was so warm, it fell on my back so invitingly, I almost didn't get out, but my chocolate skin was starting to become shrivelled so I reluctantly stepped out of the bath. I made my way back into the room with a towel tightly fixed around me and my used clothes in my hand, I located the laundry basket in a corner on the opposite side of my bed and put them in there. I got dressed into a pair of black jeans, a grey turtle neck and some white converses, which I picked out from the shoes my Aunty had bought me, and a black leather jacket which was also from the wardrobe;and made my way down stairs. I saw my Aunty in the kitchen preparing breakfast, eggs and toast. I couldn't believe something so simple could smell so delicious, she placed a plate in front of me. I didn't need to be asked twice before I devoured the food in front of me. After we finished breakfast, my Aunty dropped me off at my new school, Lindon sixth form college. We had a brief meeting with the head-teacher before my Aunty took her leave, giving me an encouraging smile as she departed. I was then escorted to around the school by a girl called Veronica. She was a petite girl, with thick thighs a big bum and a slim waist. Her weave was dark brown and shoulder length and it looked natural. She had a set of white straight teeth and a cute lisp that went with her personality. We had pleasant conversation and eventually the bell for the first lesson went. I looked down at the timetable Veronica took me to collect at the reception. I had psychology, I made my way to room 109 thorough the rubble of people in the corridors, most of them looked at me weirdly, some didn't even acknowledge my existence. Eventually I got to the class I was looking for and entered, there were no students there but only a teacher who I aquatinted myself with before the students filed in. I was already seated in the corner at the back looking through my psychology text book, when I heard a cough directly in front of me. I slowly looked up and saw long legs, covered in black knee high boots, followed by an inappropriately short checkered red skirt and a black turtle neck that clung to the flat chest of the person. I looked up completely, I met sharp blue eyes that looked like they were ready to attack. She had blonde hair that reached her chest, a long face, naturally red lips and long lashes. Her face was fully coated in nothing but foundation.

"Erm... You're in my seat, so can you go and find another one!" Her threatening tone could freeze lava. I knew I wasn't going to like her, not one bit.

"I didn't realise there was a seating plan, miss didn't tell me this seat was taken when I came in" I replied in an equally cool voice.

"Get up now! I'm not interested in your stories, I just want you to get out of my seat, NOW!" She raised her voice slightly, giving me a cold look. I threw one right back at her and tried to remain calm. I could feel eyes watching us now and the silence was deadly.

"Unless you're willing to learn so manners, and ask me politely I will not be moving from this seat." She went red at this statement, she looked like a bloated tomato .She opened her mouth to say something but the teacher beat her to it.

"Laura, find another seat please, and quickly! You're wasting my time."

She gave me one last dying glare and made her way to a seat at the other side of the room. The lesson was phenomenal apart from that blubber at the start but I'd already told myself to stay away from her, she was bad news and I didn't want trouble.

The rest of the day was great and went quickly, I spent most of my time with Veronica and I got to know a lot more about her, but I stayed quite reserved on the giving out information front and told her basics. Eventually the time came to go home and my Aunty was outside waiting for me by the bell. When we got home had cooked dinner and I went up to my new room to begin the work I had been set today.
