Chapter 22: The American Golden Eagle

The next day I woke up replaying the previous events that happened yesterday, in my head. I was glad that the nurse finally decided to send me home.

I felt so worn-out and exhausted that I tossed and turned my body, continuously on my bed. Left then right, then left again. I continued the pattern until…I had fallen off my bed.

At that moment…I was completely awake. I went silent for a couple of seconds, and then I called out to my mom. But there was no answer…

I struggled to untangle myself from my silk sheets, which were wrapped around my body. As I got up I took a glimpse at the clock and ran like a rapid hyena…I was so late!

I ran in the bathroom, scrubbed, brushed and washed EVERYTHING. Then, as I ran back out. My phone vibrated…it was Ruth.

A text message popping up on the screen, filled with angry emoticons and a message that read.

“Where the HELL R u?! You left me hanging with Ethan urgh!LL”

 I quickly texted her back saying that I was at school already. Even though I had lied…I didn’t want to leave her hanging, like I did in the past before. She and Ethan don’t have the best relationship.

She would often describe Ethan as a “back stabbing B*tch.” I don’t think telling Ruth’s ex boyfriend, that she cheated on him several times was one of Ethan’s best ideas. Just because, she ratted him out on spray painting the principles car.

Not gonna lie…he did deserve it. Calling us names because we didn’t want to join in on the prank.

Ruth’s motto was: “if a bitch slaps me, I’ll sure as hell knock that bitch right out. Don’t mess with me!”

That was the good Ol’e days!

As I shrugged off the good memories I remembered that I have school to go to, and another dilemma to solve. One person at Lawson High knows that I’m an angle, and that’s…Eric

I’m not sure how he found out but…I definitely need to know how he did.

Slowly I closed my eyes and grabbed on to my necklace, thinking of the spruce trees and the damp football field at the back of the school…Then I was there

--------

I ran to the front the school hoping that no one would see me, but then it had struck again…my depression. My head pounding, harder than ever. I closed my eyes and touched my head. I could feel my headache starting to heal. It was as if someone was trying to tell me something but I just couldn’t make it out.

 I opened my eyes, and I saw an American golden eagle watching over me. Sitting on top of a ever green tree.  As I moved left, it’s eyes would follow. Something didn’t seem right. To make things worse my necklace was shinning, and vibrating more than ever.

When danger is near it will alert your heart. I replayed those words in my mind then… the eagle swiftly fell, face down on the ground.

My necklace stopped its motion, and everything became faint. I  would have made my way over to the bird to see whether it was hurt or not… But frankly, I didn’t give a single ounce of a shit!

I was still late for class but I finally got the courage to open the front doors. I walked slowly and cautiously making my way to class, but it was too late. It was well past second period and there was no way in hell I was gonna get caught by the friggin’ hall police.

 A.K.A:  Ms. Smither’s, our principal.

But I knew I wasn’t gonna get caught, so I still walked around meanwhile, looking for something to do until my next class began.

As I walked my footsteps began to echo throughout the hallway.

I began to be hesitant as I heard a next set of feet, follow behind me. As the person reached out, to touch my shoulder.

My mouth dropped open in shock, as I turned around…
