Chapter One

            I’m on a sidewalk, walking alone with my headphones in my ears and with my school bag. Today was so different; I was alone, all alone here, in a public sidewalk. It’s like an abandon place. This is freaking me out but I still walk my way home. The wind blows harshly to my face and I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I can see the trashes swirling around.

            Is this the end?

            No. This can’t be.

            Ideas swim to my head. Am I gonna die right now? I have to be home first and tell my mother and father that I love them so much and I am so sorry for all of my mistakes.

            The wind blows again and I saw my mother. She was by the post light and as I look closer, I can see that she was all tied up by the post. Oh no.

            “Mom!” I screamed out but there was no voice coming out of my mouth.

            No. This can’t be happening. I looked back at the deserted place and I can see a huge metal and glass table being taken by the wind in a circular motion and starts floating. It was like being exorcist with some demonic spirit because it was moving all alone by itself. At first, it fell on ground but the glass part wasn’t broken. I really felt that it was gonna hit me but it doesn’t, it just spins around like crazy and occasionally dropping itself on the road. The next time it lifts itself from the ground, it was spinning all around the place. It was spinning so fast like a storm and I can see the little things on the ground start to spin with the table as if it was a tornado. The table stopped spinning but the things below it are still doing the same. The table broke itself and each single part starts hitting my mother. I just stand there not know what to do until it stopped and the only part left was the pointed piece of glass. This might be it. It’s gonna kill her. I motion myself running towards here.

            “NO!” I scream.

            “NO!” I screamed and woke up myself. “Shit.” I took the hair off my face and steadied myself to catch my breath that was so fast. It was a dream. I have been dreaming weird things since I went to high school. It won’t just leave me alone. I want to get out of those hurting stuffs and just be happy.

            I get out of my bed and wander to my bathroom. Yes, my bathroom. I asked my father to put this room my own shower so I won’t have a long discussion with my brother and for the first time, my father agreed. He doesn’t usually agree to the things that I want and we have different views in life so we just usually won’t blurt out what we like. So, this request was a long one and he granted this about six years ago. I always maintain its cleanliness because my father told me that if he sees this “untidy”, he will immediately remove it.

            Still shocked by my dream, I just stand and stare at my reflection in the mirror. I don’t want to take a bath yet, I want to realize things and decide what to do today. Chris called me last night and told me that he wants to hang out with us within this month – a month before the Christmas break. I stepped into the tub and started cleaning myself still thinking about where it would be nice to hang out with my friends. It’s fall and what is the nicest thing to do at fall? A picnic would be good. The question is where, where would they like to have a picnic? I’ve finished my bathing with this question. I checked the time and even if I have much time to prepare, I dressed as fast as I can. I wore my favorite fitted jeans that’s ripped at the part of my knees, and my large black shirt with My Chemical Romance animation design in front. This is my favorite style – like an ordinary girl. I combed my faded light brown hair and tried so many times to calm its frizzes but it just won’t do so I let it be like a shocked-by-an-electric-current hair. I grab my knapsack and stumbled my way downstairs. I saw my father in the living room holding the Saturday papers with his creamy coffee on the center table. I ran to him and sneakily kissed him on his cheeks.
