Fallen

Fear

CAMILA'S POV

I opened my eyes as my heart started racing rapidly. Tears were streaming down my face as I woke up from another nightmare. I looked at my fingers as it began to tremble. Quickly, I crawled into the corner trying to steady my breathing.

" It was all a dream Mila. Calm down."

I repeated myself a few more times until I heard a knock on the door. My head shot up as I gripped onto my sleeves.

"Y-yes?" I spoke in a shaky voice.

"Mila? Are you okay?"

I relaxed as I heard Sofia's voice on the other end. She slowly opened the door and stuck her head in. I motioned for her to sit near me on my bed. Quickly, she shut the door behind her and climbed into my bed cuddled up to me. I wrapped my arms around her as she held on to me tightly.

" I'm okay. Just had a bad nightmare."

She looked up at me and kissed my cheeks.

"All better! No more nightmares."

I smiled as she wiped the tears streaming down my face.

"Thank you Sofie. Your kisses always makes the bad things go away."

I hugged my baby sister for a few more minutes. Moments later we heard a door slam that made us both jump in fear.

"GIRLS! GET DOWN HERE OR YOU TWO WILL BE LATE FOR YOUR FIRST DAY!"

Sophie ran out to get dressed as I slowly got up to lock my door. First day. How could I have forgotten? New school. Yet nothing will change. It will all be the same as the last.

30 minutes later

I finally got dressed in a long hoodie and some pair of black ripped skinny jeans. My long Raven wavy hair was let down. I slipped on my black converse and grabbed my backpack to head down stairs.

As I reached the kitchen area my family sat there silently. Sofia looked tensed as she ate her cereal slowly. My father finally looked up and motioned me to sit. I sat down in silence as I smiled at my sister.

"I want you to stay out of trouble this time. Do you hear me?"  He said in a stern voice.

"I didn't start it dad! They were th-"

" Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao! I don't care what you have to say! We are not moving again because you got into trouble. Now do I make myself clear?"

"I didn't start it." I said silently to myself as I clenched my fist.

"What was that?"

"I said yes dad..."

I got up and quickly dried up my tears that fell from my face. I headed outside and waited for my mom and sister in the car. My baby sister ran to the car and entered silently. I looked in the rear view mirror and smiled at her.

"I know you didn't do it Mila."

"I know baby girl. Thank you."

"I wuv you"

"I wuv you too" I chuckled and turned to give her a quick kiss on the head.

The whole car ride was silent. We dropped off Sofia first and headed to my new school. I looked up to my mother and she didn't even look at me back. I dropped my head down and sunk further into my seat as I looked out the window to my new school.

My mother parked the car and we sat there in silence. I looked at her one last time and grabbed on to my back pack and headed out. I took one last look and she drove off.

Slowly I walked towards the building as teens started to stare and whisper. I started to feel nervous and rushed through the main doors causing me to bump into a girl. We both fell to the floor and her three friends helped pick her up.

"Whoa! Watch where you're going!"

"I-I'm sorry I- I didn't mean to!" I started to panic.

"Whatever. Just watch where you're going next time. Not everyone here would be forgiving." She replied with an irritated look.

"O-okay I will keep that in mind."

I quickly grabbed my books and rushed to the office. First day and I already made a fool of myself. I looked around and made my way to the principle's office. I knocked and immediately she opened the door and greeted me inside.

"Ms.Cabello!  It's a pleasure to have you he-"

"You don't have to pretend. You can be honest with me."

"I am Ms.Cab-"

"Camila. Call me Camila"

"Camila. I am truly happy you are here at our school."

"You probably didn't read my files."

"I have. I believe seeing than hearing. Here we believe in giving students a chance. A fresh start once they walk in through those doors. I look at your files and I don't see that in you Camila. I want you to know that what ever it is you have someone here to talk to."

I nodded and waited for her to give me my schedule. I didn't believe a word she said cause in the end she will prove me right. They always do. As she gave me my schedule she lead me to my first class.

She entered the class room as I waited outside the doors. I was nervous and wasn't ready to face anyone.

"Okay students! I want all of your attentions! I want you to meet our new student, Camila Cabello. I want you to welcome her here and make her feel at home. Camila?" She looked at the door.

I slowly walked in and whispers began. I looked down and clenched on to my binder as the Principle stood by my side.

"Welcome Camila! I am Ms. Pierce, your math teacher." She smiled at me and gave me a hug. "You can take a seat next to Lauren and Normani."

I looked up and recognized them. She was the girl I ran into this morning. First day and everything is starting to go wrong. Fear again raced through my veins as I slowly made my way.

"Okay class! Now let's begin!"
