Chapter 5: First Day Of Hell

I bolted out of the front door an sprinted towards the bus. The bus or the big "cheese" as my dad used to call it when I was little, was sitting outside my drive way. Panting heavily, I reach the bus an climb inside. Students were staring at me, some were just a soft glance, Others were just giving me the stink eye or smirking at me. My stomach felt uneasy, the feeling you get when something bad was about to happen but never knew when. I took my seat and the bus sped off to pick up the other kids. During that time, I just slipped my ear buds in my ears and listened to music. Closing my eyes, I lay my head against the vibrating window. I was still tired cause I didn't get enough sleep last night due to last nights fiasco. The song that was playing was love story by Taylor Swift.

I sigh softly thinking of the past back when Mason was still alive. The thought of him still stung like the worlds worst bee sting. I did my best to hold back a tear, not wanting anyone to see me crying. Some people may cry in front of others, but me, its a whole new ball park. The way I see it, it makes me feel weak. Thirty minutes would pass an the bus would pull into the parking bus lot then came to a stop. Opening my eyes I pause the song that was playing on my phone then got up. I waited till everyone was off the bus to exit. That feeling in my stomach never went away. The closer I got to the building the bigger the filling got. I entered the school an walked down to my locker. While I walked, I felt eyes burning through me an got the feeling of being watched. I turned around quickly but to my surprise, no one was standing there.

Biting my lower lip ever so slightly I turn back around. When I did, There was a male standing there staring at me. My eyes would go wide an jumped nearly a foot in the air. I fell onto my ass while my heart would be beating a mile a minute. The boy sorta looked like Mason except his hair was Black. He stared at me with his cold ice blue eyes an smirked. "Didn't mean to scare you...Kira. My eyes got wider. How did he know my name? Could he be that mystery facebook guy from yesterday? Finally, I managed to choke out the words "How did you know my name?" He chuckled softly an said "News travels fast. I'm Jason." He extended his left hand out an helps me up. How ironic...same name as that fella on Facebook. I stared up at him with my ice blue optics an managed to pull off a smile.

His skin though was pale and cold....cold as in death which made me even more nervous. I must admit, I felt a slight spark but how could a cute guy like that go for me? He reminded me so much on how Mason looked. I look away an say "I need to head to class, before I'm late..See you around Mason...I mean Jason! I'm sorry, just you look like someone I used to know...." I felt my face turn right red an spread all throughout my face, causing him to chuckle. "It's fine, I get that a lot myself. I'll see you around" With that being said, we went our separate ways. Quickly, I made my way to class which was Gym. Great. A class where I was never good at an felt more embarrassed. Thank god I thought ahead an brought some stuff. I walked into the girls locker room to see them undressing an getting dressed. Grabbing my gym clothes, I quickly run into a stall an change, not wanting anyone to see me change. Call me whatever you like, but I don't like dressing in front of anyone, even if its the same gender as me. Once I was done, I slipped on my tennis shoes and walked out the stall an fixed my hair up into a pony tail so it wouldn't get all tangled. Least they make you use the showers so you wouldn't go throughout the day smelling like stinky gym socks an sweat. Girls would stare at me an smirked an some just smiled kindly at me. Hopefully I'll fit in..Back in my old school nobody liked me. I was called a slut, whore, tramp, skank, everything just about in the book.

I walk towards the door to exit the locker room only to hear a girl on the other side of the lockers behind me say "looks like we got some fresh meat, this should be interesting.." Not wanting to stick around for what she was going to do, I quickly run out an into the large gym. Looking around I saw people walking around the inside track. The coach instructed me to do the same so I did. I felt a pair of eyes watching my every move so I turned around to see Jason staring at me. My cheeks were still red from earlier's embarrassment. He jobs over towards me an grinned. My god was this guy hot. I shake the thoughts of my mind an looked up at him. He was about 6'1 so he was pretty damn tall considering I'm only 5'2. "Hey Kira, you alright? You look like your about to faint." He asked with a concerned tone in his voice. Choking out the words "Yeah I'm fine"

After walking a few laps around the indoor track the coach tells us to sit down. Once he counted the class an checked them in, he got us into a team of four. We was about to play flag football an to my surprise, me an Jason got stuck onto the same team. After while, everyone goes outside an started playing. Everything happened so fast..I was running towards the ball to catch it but instead of catching, the ball rams into my chest which cased me to fall onto my knees. The pain was excruciating. It felt like my heart had stopped completely, I couldn't breath whatsoever.

The coach an students would crowed around me as I try to catch my breath but was unsuccessful. My vision goes blurry an soon, I black out. It wasn't long till I started dreaming. But this was no good dream. The shadow man I saw last night in my room stood there an looked at me laughing. I quickly try to run but there was no where to run. "I'm watching you Kira....wont be long till you are with me" He said in a deep tone. The scent of death had filled my nose. Suddenly, I open my eyes to see Jason giving me CPR. Gasping for air I sat up an breathed heavily. Cold sweat would be pouring from my forehead an look around to see faces of worried students looking at me. I get up while my feet was still shaking. "You okay Kira?" Jason said which brought me back into reality. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks An with that, we head inside an into the showers. I was the last one to shower of course. I wasn't about to let anyone see me naked.

The steam of the hot shower filled the locker room as I get out an dry off then get dressed. I walk towards the mirror to put my make up on. Once I get to the mirror I suddenly I dropped everything. "YOU CANNOT ESCAPE FROM ME" was written in blood. The color in my face suddenly went away. My body was shaking like a twig. I quickly put my make up on an bolt out of the bathroom like there was no tomorrow. I entered the hallway as the bell rang. Students would look at me an busted into laughter. "What are they laughing at?" I asked myself. Going into the next nearest girls bathroom I saw that I was completely blue. My jaw drops an tears suddenly filled my eyes. So much for a decent day of school. I grabbed my things an quickly ran out of the school an went home, balling my eyes out.

I looked like a smirf. Why do people do this to me? What did I ever do to them? Tears would be rolling down my face an I entered the house. Good. No one was home an try to scrub this blue stuff off me then get in my Pajama's an watched Netflix. I felt my phone go off. It was a the guy who kept messaging me yesterday. My heart started pounding instantly as I read the words "It was great seeing you today....see you tomorrow Kira (; " I shut off my phone an soon fell asleep onto the couch.
