The Day I Died

The Day Before

It was the day before everything happened. The day before the day I died was a normal day. Just a teenage girl with no real worries in the world, at least that's what I thought. The day wasn't special or exciting. I woke up for school rushed out of the house as usual. The day was hot, tons of moisture in the air from the ocean, and no clouds in the sky. I drove to school picking up my two best friends. The ride was slightly bumpy because the roads hadn't been redone in over a decade.

"You are so late!" Damon so kindly said to me.

Damon had the lightest brown hair, similar to caramel and bright green eyes. He was about 6'2" and gave the best hugs.

"Yeah man seriously are you ever on time. Nikki said.

Nikki was shorter than average, but everyone loved her for it just that much more. She had hazel eyes more on the brown side. Nikki's hair was black with hot pink and neon green streaks in it.

Damon and Nikki are my two best friends in the entire world, or at least were. Damon and Nikki have been next door neighbours their entire lives. My mom met Damon's mother in some mom and tots group so when I was three I moved into the same neighbourhood as Damon and Nikki because it had a better school than my previous neighbourhood and then I would know people. I always liked Damon as more than a friend but never told him. Nikki knew and she kept quiet. He had been dating the same girl since ninth grade and when I died they were still together. His girlfriend is the worst towards me and Damon doesn't even see it which I don't blame him for. She suspected that I liked Damon a bit too much.

After we arrived at school Damon and I ran to first period together.

"Hi Damon, hello Elizabeth." Alexis, Damon's girlfriend said to us.

Alexis had blond hair with grey eyes. She was tall, but shorter than Damon by an inch.

"Hey Alex!" Damon responded happily.

"Hi Alexis." I spat back.

I sat beside a kid I never learnt the name of. He was short, asian, and had the goofiest glasses. He wasn't unattractive but he wasn't my type.

The classroom was a plain off white colour and had few posters on the wall. The teacher talked with a monotone voice.

After that overwhelmingly long class Damon, Alexis, and I met up with Nikki. Damon dropped of Alexis to her trigonometry class giving her a kiss when they parted. Damon, Nikki, and I walked to our favourite class of paranormal activity. The only reason it was our favourite class was because of the teacher, he was young, understanding, and never gave homework as long as everyone is his class was passing which was super easy since there was no homework.

"Today's assignment is a debate of if ghosts are real of fake. The class will be split up into three groups one group will have half the class to find proof that ghosts are real, the second group will have half the class to find information to prove they are fake, the third group will be an unbiased group that will listen to the debate and see after all information provided if they believe or not. Group three may seem easy but to add something to it you must write your opinion of if they are real or fake after all evidence of both sides is presented using evidence provided by each side to support your opinion." Mr. Thompson explained.

I was in the third group, Nikki was in group 1, and Damon was in group 2. Because of that split my opinion was unbiased. Nikki thought that because I said ghosts were fake that my opinion was bias but I just didn't believe in supernatural stuff. When class was over Damon and I had a spare, we did not leave because Alexis and Nikki had a class. Damon and I would catch up on homework or just chat. I could see when he talked about Alexis, how much he loved her, it was heartbreaking to watch but I had to stay strong.

After school Alexis invited Damon to a party on Saturday night. He accepted and invited me and Nikki. I could see Alexis looked annoyed so I accepted. Nikki and I thought about finding dates but I would feel weird taking someone as a date when all I will be thinking of is wishing he were Damon. I was going to go to the party with Nikki and her date Freddie. After getting home from school I asked my mom and dad if I could borrow one of their vehicles to drive to the party, they said yes. Then I went to find a dress for the party. I decided on a short cyan blue dress that went just past my butt. I chose that dress because I knew blue was Damon's favourite colour and it may fluster him.

I had my nightly call with Nikki, I wish I had told her when I die, for her to keep our secret and never tell Damon. Damon called us during our call to ask if we wanted to hang out with him and his best guy friend, Micheal. Micheal goes to a school across town. He used to go school with us but then his mother and father split and he moved with his mother. Micheal brought so much life to Damon so it sucks that he had to go. I asked my mom and dad if I could go out with them. They told me not to be out too late.

Damon told us that he would pick us up. Of course I sat shot gun because Damon trusted my taste in music the most.

"Where is Alexis tonight?" I asked Damon.

"She is with her brother tonight. After the split with his girlfriend he is really sad." He replied.

After we were done hanging out I went home with Nikki for a sleepover. We went to bed so late I knew tomorrow would be hard.
