I'm rocking myself back and forth, waiting for 7pm to come. 6:59pm & 14 seconds... To forget about time for a moment, I become nostalgic while my childhood's memories appear in front of me. How I loved my life in Northampton, now I'm living in France and - oh Lord it's 7pm ! I take my phone and send my answer to Mike : << Thought 'bout the hang out. Think it'd be cool like u said. So yes, I'll come >>. I intensely stare at the device expecting a quick response... One minute later he still hasn't replied, what an asshole.

So where was I already ? Oh yes, my childhood. I used to live in England but when my dad died in his car accident, my mum decided to move to France. I wanted to be in - what they call - an international high school which means English is the school's language. There are a lot of British and American people. French people study here too of course. My school's very big. There are more than 1,500 pupils studying in it. It has a pretty cool facade but the classrooms truly need some modern retouches. 

I live in Nantes, a quite big city not that far from Paris, still a wonderful French city though. You can find any type of shops here, all kinds of nice places to visit and it's known for its harbor.

Kadi started talking to me more often since we've been living here, probably the fact I hated the idea of coming here caused my inner psycho to wake up for real.

I hear my cell ringing. Mike sent a text back.<< Glad u're coming! Its at Freddy's house, there'll be more ppl, not sure but hey u said yes so dont change ur mind! See ya at the party! >>. I roll my eyes. Wonderful ! Now it's a ' party '. 

I check my mum's room making sure she's sleeping deeply. I kiss her forehead and go back to my room. 

" No go to the rest room ", Kadi never told me to go there before... I follow her instructions and enter the rest room. " Look at the ceiling now " , she whispered. I see blades on the ceiling. All of a sudden one falls on my left cheek, I feel blood running down my face and neck - I don't react, I know what will happen if I move. 

" Kadi please stop." I cried as she continues to hurt me. 

" Scream Kendra ", she directed, " I want you to scream until your lungs come out of your body and your veins blow off. Scream for me, you whore ! " As I resist the sound that's trying to come out of my mouth I feel my lungs burning and my sight gets weaker and weaker. " C'mon my sweetheart you can do it. Will you scream for me or will I have to punish you tomorrow in front of random people at the party ? " 

" I'll frighten my mother. Do whatever you want to me Kadi but don't you dare try to make me obey orders that will mess up my family. You know what can happen if I get mad as fuck. It's no good when the devil meets Hell. The devil secretly hates the idea of living there so - "

" He'll do everything to fight it and get rid of its existence. Are you threatening me ? " She dangerously murmured.

" I'm just preventing you from not to reach the limit Kadi."

" Scream."

" I already told you I ain't - " She strangles me and I suffocate so hard that I can't talk anymore.

" Scream and your lovely mumma won't hear." All my hopes and my suffering are let out in one shout. I call for help in one scream and hope the whole universe heard it. I feel myself levitating and fire coming out of my lungs, I sense the entire humanity race's grief entering my soul.

Air finds its way to my lungs as I slowly open my eyes, feeling comfortable. I'm in my bed, under my sheets, I hear birds singing, I look at my clock radio and see it's 7am. Another night wasted due to your shit Kadi. I feel my body becoming as cold as ice.

" Sorry I didn't mean what I thought." I said.

I close my eyes, trying to recover some hours of sleep and feel my body gaining its normal temperature back. Tears start to fall down.

" Shhh. Don't cry my dear I'm here for you." Kadi dries my tears while saying these words... She is sometimes impulsive but she can be nice too, can't she ?
