Night Visions

Chapter 2

Monday May 15, 2014

I was in last period when the thought hit me, I just couldn't help but think about that thing I saw last night in my room, what did it want with me? Am I Just seeing things?
I don't know, and I hope it doesn't come back ever again.

The last period bell rang, I grabbed my backpack and was about to head out the door until Mrs. Jackson, my geometry teacher stopped me in my tracks.
"Tranessa?" I still had my back turned when the teacher spoke, I slowly turned around to face her and muttered, "yes?"
"Can you come here please?" Mrs. Jackson took off her glasses and set them down beside her.
"Am I in trouble?" I asked when I walked over to her desk and stood there waiting for her to answer.
The teacher shook her head, "no, of course not my dear."
"Then, why did you call me over?" I asked, getting confused.
Mrs. Jackson loves to confuse her students for some odd reason, just last Friday when we were about to go home for the weekend, she made us stay a few minutes late just to tell us some confusing jokes.
Well, since she's old and nearly blind, I just love to laugh at her jokes.
"Well, your graduating this year," Mrs. Jackson said, "any colleges your thinking about attending?"
I smiled, "I just got excepted to Michigan State."
"You did?"
I nodded my head, I knew I shouldn't have told her that.

"You know," Mrs. Jackson's eyes began to tear up, "ever sense my husband died, you were always there for me and now, your graduating in a few days-"
"No, don't say that," I walked around her desk, "you know you can call me anytime."
Mrs. Jackson wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her sweater.
I placed a hand on her shoulder, I pulled away from her gently and walked out of the classroom, closing the door behind me.

I swung my backpack over a shoulder as I walked down the hall, "hey Tranessa?" A females voice called from down the hallway, I stopped and looked over my shoulder to see a girl storming up to me, I rolled my eyes.
"What happened now Jacy?"
"You," the girl said as she was face to face with me, "I was waiting on you to drive me home."
"And your mad about that?"
"No," her face softened, "sorry about that it's just, I had a bad day that's all."
I nodded, "did you start drama in algebra class again?"
Jacy shook her head, "No, the other girl started it you know, the one that took Dylan away from you?"
I didn't want to answer that, it brings back horrible memories from that day.
We started walking until we saw the double doors that led outside, Jacy asked if she could ride with me sense, her parents won't let her have a car until her next birthday which was next month.

"My mom said you could spend the night this weekend," I told Jacy as we walked to my car, "what do you think?"
"I don't know," Jacy said as she opened the passenger side door, "I might be going camping this weekend."
I got into the drivers seat and put the key in the transmission, the car started a few seconds later.
"Oh, yeah," I said as the car pulled out from the parking lot and on to the crowded highway, "you told me that, any idea on where you guys are going?"
Jacy shrugged, "we don't know yet, my father is still thinking about it."
I turned on her street, Jacy lives in a quite naborhood and her house was just a few blocks away from the school.
"Something strange happened to me last night," I replied as I turned on to her concrete driveway.
Jacy grabbed her backpack but, didn't say anything.
"See you tomorrow," and that was all she said.
