The Nightmare and The Voices

Chapter 5: The First Day

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock playing my favorite Green Day song. I yawned and gently rubbed my eyes and started to stretch. After stretching I got out of bed to get ready for school, but before I did I checked the calendar and looked outside my window. It's Wednesday, August 10th, 2016. The day seemed nice and cool with a slight gentle breeze, the clouds had consumed what was once before a light blue sky.  The sky was gray with small hits of light blue in them, the sun was covered by clouds yet you could still feel the warmth of the sun with a gentle breeze. It felt refreshing and soothing having the gentle breeze blow my messy bed hair. After a few minutes of standing in front of the window I decided to change into my clothes and brush my teeth. I changed into a red and black plaid flannel with a plain black t-shirt underneath it, my jeans were plain black and I wore my black converse. I then brushed my hair grabbed my backpack and headed out to school.
"Bye mom I'll see you after school." I shouted, but then I had realized that she had already left to work. I walked down the stair case and to the front house door; I locked the house door and placed the key breathe the rug. I stared to walking to my school. My school was only 10-15 minutes away from my house so it wasn't that far of a walk.

Oddly enough I felt not not happy but profoundly joyful. It felt like this heavy object, this heavy weight has been lifted off of me. Yet, I know that happiness comes and it goes, like leafs on trees. First the leafs grows and live a fulfilled life then it dies. When that leaf on that tree dies it makes more opportunities for new leafs to grow.

I was already in from of the school, it seemed as if I got side track due to being lost in my thoughts. Well, to specify more I was in front of the schools main gate which was near the main office. I walked into the school and went straight to the main office. I checked the main  office to see if anyone was inside. There was a lady in front of the desktop of the office, I walked inside and said "Hello, I'm Jack, I was supposed to attend the first two days-"
"Ahh yes, Jack Johnston, your mother came in and stopped by to clear your absences. Such a very nice and polite lady. Ohh I'm sorry I've seemed to cut you off while you where talking, it's a bad habit of mine." Said the lady at the desktop.
"Oh no need to worry about it, it's okay, I-I was wondering if I could receive my schedule for my classes."
"Why of course my dear, here's your classes and lucky you, you've been appointed an art class. Most students wanted the class art, I heard its good class." Said the desktop lady.
"Oh well thank you and have a nice day." I said and I quickly walked out trying to find my 1st class, but when I walked out I bumped into someone or was it something.
