I lift my head barely above water. I try to catch my breath but the waves are to strong and I go back under. Once I resurface I cough out water, gagging as I look around, tired from treading water. I see bodies dropping every second. I can;t hear anything besides the screams and the waves crashing over me. A dark shadow move below me and I start swimming to my boat which has started to sink. With the window almost in reach I kick my feet faster. I look behind me as the dark shadow moves closer. I look back forward and lunge at the window ledge. I grab on with the other hand and try to pull myself up all the way but with lurch the boat does farther down. I am yanked under a little further. I look up and see a lose screw a few feet away. I reach my foot up and replace where my hand was. Than I do the same thing with the other foot. I lean towards the boat so I don't fall back into the jaws of death. I move my hand up the boat and try to grasp the screw. I can hear the screams behind me and the ringing in my ears. I stand on my tip toes. I grasp the screw with one finger, and than two, three, four, five. I hold onto the screw for a while why I catch my breath. Than I reach up with the other hand and grab the next window. I move my feet from the window and push them against the wall. With the other hand I grab the window. The deck only a few feet away. I move my feet up until i'm upside down, my hair in the water. I see the dark shadow circle around and I slowly pull myself up with my feet. I layy on the deck, every inch of my body covered in water. Once I finally stand up I look over the edge and see the dark creature gone. "Yeah, take that!" I yell jumping. I feel the boat lerch again after I land and I fall to the ground. I feel the boat slowly sink further into the water. I crawl over to the edge and look down. I feel my stomach churn and lean my head over the boat vomiting as I slowly sink down. I feel something grab my stomach hard. I vomit again and than feel my legs being lifted off the boat which the deck i covered in water. I slowly raise up. This is it, this is how I die. Drowning, falling, or being eaten. I feel hands rap around me and I squeal. My feet touch the bottom of a vehicle. I lean over once more and vomit. I look down and see the boatt slowly being covered in water. I flip around and wipe my mouth with my sleeve. I sit up carefully and realize i'm in a helicopter. I lean back up against the wall. I close my eyes and breath for a little, than a hand touches my and I open my eyes. A tall woman is ending down before me. "Hi, there Chris. It's been a while." My stomach lurches and I lean back over the edge and vomit. "We'll fix you back at the academy." I look up at her clutching my stomach and feel tears well up in my eyes before I lean back over the edge vomit again.
The loud beeping stops as I slap my hand against the snooze button. I pull the covers closer to my face. I hear a knock on the door and grumble. My mother walks in. I open on of my eyes to to see her standing there in her normal nightgown. "Get up, it's school. Oh wait I have a letter for you." I throw my shoe at the door so it closes and than lean back into my fluffy white covers and pillows. I hear the door open again and a letter is placed on my head. I reach out and grab it. I look at the address. In fancy black ink it reads. Alaska boarding school. I jump up and open it. Alaska what do they want to do with poor, small, cramped, dirty New Jersey. I rip open the envelope and remove the letter. It reads:
Dear Chris,
You have been accepted to The famous alaska boarding school. You will have to be packed and ready to leave by March 7th.You will have to be at the bus stop, Three blocks west from your house, by 2:13.We are pleased to have you at the Academy.

I stare at the letter for a few seconds until my mom walks in and smiles at me.
"Isn't it exciting."
"I'm not going."
"What do you mean your not going, this is best school in the country. Hell maybe the world."
"Because I want to have normal life and not be a freak."
"Your not a freak."
"I will be if I go here. This is a school for bad people who are sent be there parents to have the bad beat out of them. I don't need the bad beat out."
"Well..."
"Mom
