Different.

Chapter 3

PICTURE ATTACHED IS Kylie.

My dad picked me up from the airport. My dad's like me, awkward. 

"Hey... Ky. How are you?" My dad asked me.

"Hey, pops, I'm great. You?"

"Oh, you know, same old same old." He smiled at me, obviously forced. 

We finally reached his house, the same one I remember. I didn't fit in this town when I used to live here, but I guess I have to try now.  I walked into my old bedroom it was the same, except for a bigger bed. The comforter was red, I guess my dad remembers my favorite color. I set my bags down on the bed, and walk into my bathroom, thanking God that we don't have to share one. 

After my shower, I went to bed, considering that I have to start school tomorrow.

Running, keep running Kylie. Do not stop running. That voice in my head keeps telling me to keep running, but this time I didn't listen. I stopped running. I stopped listening. I could hear him catching up to me, but this time, I didn't care. I know that this is a dream. I need to know what this person or thing looks like. I turned around and saw the figure standing there.

"Who are you?" I called out to the dark figure.

I woke up drenched in sweat again. Who is that person, and why can't I see who they are? Why is it the same dream? Ugh. I checked the time and it reads 6:45. School starts at 7:00... I should get up.

I got ready and had my dad drive me since I have no car.

"So, Ky, are you ready to start your new school?" My dad asked me, trying to be enthusiastic.

"Totally dad, I'm so looking forward to eating lunch all by myself. If I didn't fit in last time, why would I be able to fit in this time?" I said sarcastically.

"It'll be okay sweetie, I promise. Have a good day at school!"

"Yeah, Okay thanks, dad." I am so not ready for this.

I met with the nice office lady and headed to my first class, which was Chemistry. When I got into the room, all eyes were on me. I guess it's been awhile since there were any new students. I sat down in my assigned seat, which of course, was in the front row. Don't get me wrong, I like Chemistry, but I hate knowing that since I'm in the front, everyone had an excuse to stare at me.

I went through my other 2 classes, and now I have gym. I suck at any and all sports, I'm very clumsy. Let's just say that I told my "team" in kickball to not let me play, which thank god, they listened. 

"Hey, your Kylie, the new girl right?" This girl approached me. She was so pretty, which was an understatement.

"Um, yeah, hi." I was so confused, she looked like one of the popular girls, the kind that didn't talk to girls like me, average.

"I'm Anastasia, people usually call me Ana. It's nice to meet you! I heard you're from Ohio, it sounds like a nice place." 

"Yeah, I am from Ohio, and it's okay, nothing special," I explained.

"Well, anyways, do you have anyone to sit with at lunch?" She asked me.

"No."

"Well, now you do." She looked at me with an evil smile.

I got changed and waited for her like she instructed. We walked down to the cafeteria and sat down at a table filled with people. Their names were Ana, Annabell, Tyler, Kyle, and Maria. They were all very welcoming. They started talking about something, so I dozed off.

Then I saw him.
