Friday, 25th September

I wake up immediately after having a nightmare. My face is cloudy with sweats. My limbs are weak.

The nightmare wasn't that scary but it was scary.

I saw Nicole holding a butcher's knife and wanted to kill me. I kept on begging her. When she was about to strike me with the knife. I woke up!

I know it has something to do with Brian's issue but at least she should reason with me. I can't do such a thing at all.

I stay on the bed for about 10 minutes staring at the ceiling

Today is Friday which means I have to go to school. Going to school means I have to see kira. Seeing kira means I have to see Brian. Seeing Brian means I have to see Jason. Seeing Jason means I have to see nicole!. Seeing nicole means I have to face the whole school!!

Oh lord!

I quickly check my phone and there's still no message from jason or Nicole. I dont think they will ever forgive me.

I dont feel like going to school but then I have to cos of my grades. Ugh

I quickly take a very hot bath because that's what I really need now. I brush my teeth.

I just put on a plain purple gown and a black sandals and pack my hair in a messy bun and apply lipstick to my chapped lips.

I look at the mirror, I see a different me. The eyes bags under my eyes are beginning to show. My eyes are heavy cos of the amount of tears that have fallen from them

I look pale.

I grab my phone and sling my bag across my shoulder. I lock the door and begin to head downstairs.

"Morning mom" I say trying to smile but I fail dramatically

"Morning Anna. How was your night?" She asks giving me a curious look

"It was fine" thinking of the nightmare I had. I dont think it was fine

"Anna what's up with you?" My mom asks the question I've been avoiding

"What do you mean mom?" I ask

"I mean you look so tired. You look sick. Common tell me what's wrong" she says putting her arm around me

"Mom nothing is wrong. It's just a tough week at school. You know assignments and projects" I bluntly lie

"Oh I see. Anyway if you don't want to tell me. I dont want it to bother you anymore. Okay?" She says

"Alright mom. I'll try" I say

"Good. So what do you want to have for break fast?" She asks

I dont really have any appetite right now

"Nothing mom. Just an apple will do" I say in order to prevent more questions

"Alright have one" she says tossing me an apple

"Thanks mom. I've to go now" I say drifting to the door and then I remember something before stopping in my tracks

"Mom what about the result?" I ask

"Oh about That. Anna there's something I want to tell you but that will be after school." She says smiling timidly

"Ughhhhhh fine!. Bye mom" I say waving

"Bye anna" is what I hear last before closing the door
