Addie's P.O.V

Everyone has dreams, whether they admit it or not. There's the oh-so-famous dreams where you're falling or you're naked in class. Unfortunately this wasn't one of those dreams, I would have welcomed one of them now.

Standing at the edge of the lake I stared into the eerie waters. I looked around at my surroundings there was nothing but forest. Glancing back at the water I saw two hideous yellow eyes glaring back at me. I felt terror enveloping me. I tried to look away, but its eyes were so entrancing as if I was I were drowning in his eyes. Everything was going black when suddenly everything started shaking.

"Ms. Johnston, Ms. Johnston, are you even listening to me?" Someone shouted. Oh my god that thing knew my name. The shaking suddenly intensified. Then out of nowhere I felt a sharp pain in my leg, almost as if someone had kicked me. Hold on that wasn't possible, a lake with yellow eyes can't kick me. Another dead-on kick to my other leg woke me fully. I was in English class. My teacher Mrs. White was looking at me disdainfully, great I can feel another detention coming on.

"Ms. Johnston, my classroom is a place for learning. Not sleeping. You will accompany me tonight after school for a two hour detention. I gasped, Not fair! I only fell asleep there was no way I deserved a two hour detention. I looked over at my best friend Elizabeth St. James she smiled at me apologetically. Then it dawned on me she was the one who was kicking me earlier. I gave her a pleading look. I couldn't miss the game tonight, Mark would kill me if I did.

   Elizabeth raised her hand. "Yes, Ms. St. James? What is it?" Mrs. White inquired.

   "Well Mrs. White I just had a question, are you going to the baseball game tonight?" she asked innocently. I frowned where was she going with this. Apparently the teacher was suspicious to for she frowned as well.

    "Of course I 'm going, I have to show my school spirit. Why wouldn't I go?" Mrs. White stated matter-of-factly. I snorted yeah right like she wanted to show school spirit she just wants to go in hopes that she'll find 'Mr. Right'. She must have heard me laughing at her because she turned to me and glared. She's always hated me. The main reason I'm pretty, I don't me to sound snobbish but with my straw blond hair and my intensive green eyes I'm not exactly dubbed ugly. Anyway the reason is that I'm a straight A student. Even though I sound stupid and play the 'Dumb Blond' act I'm not really. I mean yeah I'm no genius but I am not that dumb. Beside even if I was an idiot Lizzie would always help me keep my grades up. Whether I wanted help or not.

"Well I was just wondering how Addie could have detention when there isn't a teacher. If your planning on going to the game who is gonna be in detention with Addie? I can grantee you won't find any one willing to do a Friday night detention let alone a detention on the night of the Big Game." Elizabeth replied sweetly. I grinned. Oh this is why I love my best friend. I could totally not live without her.

   Mrs. White looked lost for words for a few minutes and Lizzie put on her best confusion face. "Well," She replied haughtily, "I suppose that we will have to delay Ms. Johnston's detention till next Monday."

   "Oh, okay then," Lizzie said nonchalantly. Mrs. White was about to say more when the bell rang suddenly ending second period. Gathering my books as fast as I could I practically ran out the door before the teacher could yell at me. I waited out in the hall for Lizzie. She was the next out the door the instant she saw me she started laughing, I started laughing too. After a few minutes of laughing our butts off and some very strange looks from passers-by we finally sobered up. 

"Come on, let's go to lunch I'm starving," Liz said.

"Lunch, is it that time already? Yes!" I shouted
