Story of a life

Will you be there

Kayla POV

English is over, all we did was read, so now I'm on my way to my next class, Science, I quite like the subject of, science but I love the class cause I get to sit next to my Girlfriend, Nathalie and my best friend Katherine, Nathalie has short, honey coloured hair and stormy grey eyes and has the most adorable face, Katherine has medium-long, brown-red hair and apart from that looks exactly like me. Anyway, So I'm heading up to science now. My hair keeps getting in my face and people give me strange or pitiful looks, but I'm wondering why, but when I pass bye a window on the door I realize I haven't brushed my hair or washed my face. My face was smuged with dust and, was that pencil led or soot? And my hair was a tangled mess even with being in pleats. I quickly scrubed my face clean(er) with my jumper sleeve and then I hurry to class.
As usual I'm the first one there so I get started with taking all the chairs off the table after briefly greeting my teacher, by the time Nathalie and Katherine walk in I'm just taking down the last chair. We all sit in a row and before Nathalie sits down I pull out her chair and say "m'lady"
she giggles 'adorable' I think and Katherine is tying to contain her laughter so I flick her nose, she squeals then huffs.
"moody" I whisper
"Hey!" She says
"Just kidding! I swear I'm joking!" I put my hands up in mock surrender
"Better be" she mumbles
We look at each other then burst out laughing, and Nathalie who was sitting to my opossite side just had a confused puppy look, causing us to laugh harder
"What?" She asks confused
"N-nothing" me and Katherine giggle out at the same time.
"...ooohhkaaay, moving on" we all start giggling at that.

TIME SKIP, AFTER CLASS, LUNCH TIME

At lunch me and Katherine sit at our table, Nathalie had to go finish an art project or something, so its just me and Kath. We start eating and chatting when an older woman, who I recognize as the office lady, Leslie, comes over to us with a mixed expression.
"Hi Leslie, what's up?"
"Oh hello dear, I just have a letter for you, I was asked to give it to you as soon as possible" she hands me the letter
"Thank you Leslie, have a nice day" I say happily.
"You too sweet heart" she replies
"Goodbye" I wave to her retreating figure.
"Goodbye dearie" she says over her shoulder.
I look curiously at the letter, so does Kath.
"You gonna open it? Or just stare at it" Kath jokes.
"I....I wonder who its from, there's no name, address no NOTHING, it just says my name, Kayla Jayson..." I tear open the top of the envelope and unfold the neatly folded piece of paper.
"So...wassit say?" Kath asks
I read it, then again and again.
"I-i don't understand..."
"Understand what?"
"It just says 'Family is closer than you think, spread your wings and soar' what do you think it means?"
"I have no idea, but why does it say 'family is closer than you think' of course your family is close, you live with your mother"
At this my smile dropped I hoped she wouldn't notice but she did, Katherine looked at me puzzled.
"You OK?"
"Wha-oh yeah I'm fine just...uh...thinking, yeah thinking"
"Uuuh huh...that sounds suspicious..."
I feel a sweat drop run down my neck
"Sus-suspicious? What are you talking about?..." I smile nervously, she stared at me, eyes narrowed...then started laughing
"OHmYGoD!!! You should have seen your FACE!!! bWAhAHa!! Oh that was a good one!"
"Y-yeah quite the joke you pulled there."
We went back to eating, but I couldn't stop THINKING about that letter. What did it Mean 'closer than you think' or 'spread your wings' is it a metaphor for 'be free'? I'm so confused. I was so deep in thought that I didn't even know the bell went until Kath was tugging my arm trying to pick me up. Me and Kath ran for our next class, Religious Education, I find this class fun because the she class just messes around, and its interesting to learn about other beliefs and stuff.

Our teacher, Mr. Kian, walked in the room with his signature 'Batman' mug in his hand, he sat down and greeted us.
"Good afternoon Class, How are you?" There where some murmurs and mumbles of okay's and Fine's.
"That good to hear, today we will be learning about whether or not angels exist and we will be talking about how and why people think this."
I was already doodling on my jotter, I was drawing a detailed pair of angel wings and when my name was called I looked up I saw all eyes on me.
"Y-yes?"
"Are you okay?!" My teacher and Katherine asked at the same time, panicked.
"Y-yeah I'm fine why?"
That's when I noticed a searing pain in my back, on my shoulder blades. I hiss in pain and everyone just stared shocked. I start clawing at my back, as if I'm trying to rip something off or out. The pain suddenly stops and I sigh in relief, all eyes are still on me.
"What?" I asked, confused as to why they where all still staring.
I then look at my hands, embarrassed then notice something red and sticky on them...
"Oh..." I stare shocked at my hands, then turn as best I can to look at my back.
Nothing. There was NOTHING there, no blood or anything.
"Kayla? What was that all about? And why is there b-blood on your hands?" Katherine asked, a little queezy at the sight of the blood on my hands.
"I...i-i have n-no idea..." I trail off my mind blanking. I can only think 'what the HELL just happened to me?!'
"How...How did you notice I was hurting when I didn't?" I asked my teacher. All eyed then turned to Kath.
"I saw red patched seeping through your hoodie...b-but there's nothing there anymore."

Finally, after that fiasco, school was FINALLY over, I was walking home when I remember I had been kicked out. So I changed directions and walked in the direction of my little abandoned shop, I then remembered that little shadow was probably waiting for more food so I quickly picked up 2 apples on my way past a fruit stall and headed 'home'.
