Burning Hearts

Chapter 1.4 : My Last Day Of School

I started by telling him about the dream I had last night and then explained to him what happened in class.

"Someone is having crazy visions and dreams about a girl. Yep your definitely a real man now", Kyle chuckled.

"Dude I'm serious. This isn't funny."

"Alright, alright. Why do you think your seeing this girl?"

"I don't know," I replied.

"Wait... Is she hot?"

"Really?"

"Fine," Kyle laughed. "I'll stop."

"So what do you think she meant by these people are going to die?"

"Dude Don't worry about it. People see things they dream about all the time."

The bell rang and it was time for our next class.

"Well, there it is. See you at lunch," said Kyle.

He looked at me and he could tell I was still uneasy.

"Seriously Ryder, it's nothing. Don't worry about it."

I gave him a smile and he returned one back. We then went to our separate classes. Kyle's next class was chemistry. While my next class was history. I never really liked history. It was always just to boring.

I went to class and tried not to think about the girl. Kyle was right. It's probably nothing.

I sat down and began listening to Mrs. Trent talk about the cold war.

30 minutes passed by and I really needed to use the restroom. So I raised my hand and Mrs. Trent called on me.

"Yes Ryder?"

"May I use the restroom?"

"Of course," she replied.

I stood up, walked out of class and headed to the restrooms.

As I entered the restroom I was stopped dead in my feet. The girl from my dreams was standing in the middle of the bathroom looking right at me.

The girl spoke, "You must leave now and head to the east mountains, there isn't much time. If you don't leave now everyone here will die."

"Who are you? Why do I keep seeing you?" I asked.

"You don't have time for this. They're coming... We're all coming." she said.

And then she vanished. I stood there probably for another 5 minutes trying to understand what just happened. Then I remembered why I was in the bathroom in the first place. I got done, washed my hands and went back to class.

I sat in my chair for the rest of class just staring into the air. Nothing makes sense, I told myself. Seeing this girl didn't seem like any kind of normal to me. My dream. These visions.

Or whatever they are. They have to mean something.

Do I seriously just up and leave? What's at the east mountains? If I stay here are people really going to die? Why can no-one else see her?

All these questions were just filling my mind. I couldn't get her out of my head.

My thoughts were halted by the ring of the bell. So I closed my books and shoved them into my bag. The hall's were filled with students rushing to there lockers. It was time for lunch and the line to get the food usually got long pretty fast. So i quickly put my bag in my locker and went to lunch.

I got to the line fairly quickly and got my tray of mashed potatoes, jello, salad, and milk. I went too the cafeteria eager to tell Kyle about what happened in the bathroom.

I entered the cafeteria and spotted Kyle sitting with our normal group of friends. I rushed over and sat down in front of him.

"Well boys if it isn't the one having visions of beautiful girls," Kyle said aloud.

The entire table started laughing. And I realized Kyle had already told them what happened in our math class.

"Well actually," I said.

The entire table quieted down and turned toward toward me.

"I saw her again while in the bathroom."

Everyone burst out laughing and I realized exactly how it sounded.

"So things are getting serious between you two?" Kyle said while laughing.

"Do you guys want to hear about it or not?" I asked.

"Alright," said Kyle "spit it out."

Again everyone was ready to listen. All smiling ready to here what actually happened.

"So..." I began. "I went to use the bathroom and when I got there. There she was standing there looking at me."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," screamed a girl.

Everyone in the cafeteria started looking around. Trying to figure out what happened.

"It sounded like it came from outside," said a girl from across the room.

More people from outside started too scream and my stomach just dropped.

"Guys let's go see what's going on," Kyle said as he stood up from the table.

The entire cafeteria got up and we all started to head outside. There seemed to be more people screaming by the second. It sounded like chaos running around outside. My group of friends and I were in the front and as we got to the door. I put my hands out to stop everyone and I couldn't believe what I was looking at.

All of the sudden that girl came back to my head and everything she told me was just running around in my thoughts. There just outside the door was a dead girl lying in a pool of blood with 3 arrows in her body.

The words were repeated in my head so clearly. And I whispered quietly.

"They are all gong to die."
