The gates of oblivion

The beginning of the end

I woke in a cold sweat I wish it was a Saturday but sadly it's not it's Monday my birthday to be exact it was November 3,2016 today I'm turning 16 and I'm not looking forward to school this morning because I hate when they have every one sing happy birth day to me I don't know why but ever since I was little I hated my birth day there was always something to make it bad like last year we went to a bowling alley and I broke a couple toe's because I dropped the ball on my foot or there was when I was 5 when we went to a petting zoo and the goat bit me so hard that I needed stitches. So as you can see I have a bad history with my birth day. I looked at the clock and it read 6:59 a.m. "Kate are you ready your bus will be here in 2 minutes" my mom yelled from down stairs, "um...yes mom I'll be right down!" I quickly put a pair of clothes on over my pj's and grabbed my bag "bye!" I quickly ran out the door just in time to catch my bus "almost late again Kate that means it must be your birth day today." Mrs.Lovelace my bus driver said as she closed the door behind me and I sat next to my best friend Sebastian "happy birth day Kate " he said as he handed me a small well raped gift with a delicate little bow "thanks Sebastian but you didn't need to give me any thing you know "he gave me a looked that said just open it already so I did, I slowly opened the small box trying my best not to rip the lovely paper and in it was a neck-less it had a crimson gem on a gold chain I looked at it and instantly gave it back to Sebastian "what's wrong Kate don't you like it my mom helped me pick it out for you and everything" he looked so sad "it's not that it's just that it's way too nice and looks expensive I don't think I deserved it" I could tell that he saw the sorrow in my eyes "Kate take it it's beautiful just like you, you deserve it" he put the small box in my pocket and gave me a hug "thanks" I whisper in his ear as if I was as small as a bug. He put the neck-less on for me and I felt like I just got slapped the neck-less was really light witch surprised me because the chain was gold and the gem was pretty big but I didn't tell him about my concerns. Soon we got to school and my friend Lilly tackled me to the ground "Kate I missed you it's been so long sense I've seen you!" I Practicality fell "Lilly it's only been two days calm down it's not like i abandoned you" she Finley let go looking disappointed "sorry master" Lilly always liked calling me master it's the nick name only she can call me "it's OK ticci" and ticci was the nick name I could call her, the bell then rang and it was time for first period "I have to go see you at lunch master" she said as she started to run down the hall "OK see you later ticci" I quickly started for my first period choir. Finley I t was lunch and I quickly got into the lunch line sadly I wasn't fast enough I was the last person in line this always happens when it's my birthday it never changes no matter how hard I want it to. After what felt like forever I finely got my lunch but not to my surprise there were no seats left in the cafeteria so to my dismay I had to sit on the floor to eat, once again my birth day has not given me any pity oh well as I was slowly eating my lunch I saw something out of the corner of my eye so I turned to see what or who it was and to my surprise it was another new student but something was off about him his hair was coal black but strangely he had white skin and I mean white like more white then an egg shell it was just plain old creepy "KATE!!!!!!!!!" before i could say anything Lilly talked me apparently excited about something "have you seen the new kid yet master his names Vincent and he gorgeous! "So she saw him to and it wasn't just my imagination? Well at least I know I'm not going crazy....I think? "oh my god oh my god he's coming over here" Lilly practically screamed it in my ear "calm down ticci don't have a heart attack" I was joking around with her when Vincent stopped right in front of me and looked down at us and just with my luck accidentally bumped my arm making me spill my chocolate milk everywhere "oh sorry I didn't mean to" Vincent stammered on "it's okay I should have seen it coming it is my b-_day and all" I got up and left to the bathroom. to clean myself up before it soaks in my cloths too much. Then while my shirt was still wet the bell rang and lunch bell rang "shit" today sucked. I quickly ran to my next class wishing I won't be late. and with just my luck I was and my math teacher Mr.Brown wasn't too happy "late again Ms.Carvalho" he like almost always looked UN-amused "sorry I would have been here earlier but some guy bumped me and split my milk all over me." I was out of breath so I was amazed that I said that without taking a breath in between "very well now please take a seat before I have to give you a lunch detention" I quickly walked to an empty seat in the back, and just when I thought my luck was bad enough the new kid walked in "ah class I'll like you to meet our newest student his name is Vincent" why did he have to be in my class of all people "now Vincent please find a seat so we can get start" and my luck and he sat in the seat next to me! He turned and whispered "sorry about earlier I didn't mean to make you spill your milk." The sound of his voice gave me the creeps "it's OK just pay attention before Mr. Brown notices" which I highly doubted he would because he never paid attention when he was resisting Romeo and Juliet. "then we'll just have to talk later" OK that gave me shivers, why would he want to talk to me any way it's not like I'm popular I'm the geek everyone was ether scared of or laughed at "I'm sorry but I'm a little busy and I don't talk to strangers" he just smirked and turned to the front of the class. Finely my first piece of today that was somewhat good. Finely the last bell rang and I ran to the bus loop and of course I was the last one on but who cares one seat was open and it was next to my best friend, I quickly sat down and hugged him while letting out an exhausted hey "someone had a long day" I could practically hear the smile in his voice "yes and I just want to get home and pass out on my bed "I looked up at him and all I saw was a great big frown "you can't be serious you forgot didn't you" and then it came to me "oh I forgot your coming over to watch movies and have a junk food spree" ding I got it on the nose "did you ask you mom yet or did you forget that to" Sebastian smiled and hugged me "gasp who do you think I am a monster?!" I faked looking surprised "of course I didn't forget" I said it like he hurt me by denying it "okay then now we wait" we both laughed. Finely we were at my bus stop and right as we got to my house I saw the one person I didn't want to see.
