Nightmares

After a short ride we arrived at the local ice cream shop. We hopped off the bike and I gaped at Carter. "What it's hot out!" He said. I just smiled as we headed into the shop. I order my usual, a chocolate dipped vanilla cone, while Carter ordered a brownie fudge blizzard. I tried to pay for myself, but Carter insisted. "I dragged you here so I'm paying." He claimed. I guess he was right, so I didn't question his logic. We got our ice realm and sat in one of the booths.

"So why are you going to Chatwood High?" Carter asked.

I choked on the ice cream I had in my mouth. I didn't expect that kind of question, but I guess I should have. I finally stopped coughing and regained my composure.

"I.. Uh.. I needed to restart." Which was mostly honest.

He nodded taking a big scope of his blizzard and shoving into his mouth. He cringed in pain. He must have gotten a brain freeze.

I laughed and said, "You know if you put your thumb on the top of your mouth the pain will go away."

He quickly stuck his thumb in his mouth sucking on it like a baby. This made me laugh louder and I took my phone out and snapped a picture. "Delete it now!" Carter said while looking very angry. "What you don't want the whole school to know that Carter Lewis sucks his thumb." I said mockingly. "Delete it now!!!" He said looking even angrier. I just laughed. "But it's the perfect blackmail!" I said with a smirk. He huffed and rolled his eyes after realizing I wasn't deleting it.

We talked for a bit while finishing off our ice cream. He was surprisingly easy to talk to. We walked outside and hopped onto his bike. I put my hands on his shoulders, but then he moved them again. "It's not safe if you hold on that way." he muttered as he started up the bike. I had this feeling he was lying just so I would wrap my arms around him, but I didn't mind all that much.

He dropped me off at my house. I entered the big home letting the emptiness engulf me. No one was ever home and I already missed Carter's company. No wait, no I don't I hate him! I need to hate him. I don't know what I was thinking. I did have a good time though. No, no I didn't, but I did. My mind was having a mental war with itself. I couldn't possibly like him, but maybe I didn't hate him that much.

I went to my room and did the little homework the teachers assigned and got organized for the upcoming school year. I know, I'm a nerd. The new school seemed harder then my old school, but I promised myself that I would actually try hard in my classes. I know it's a tough goal because laziness is , but I have always felt that academics are one of the most important things in my life. It's really my only way out of this place.

I made myself a healthy dinner of chocolate chip waffles and loads of syrup. What can I say I love food! I ate and headed up to my room. I watched some random shows on TV before falling asleep. The good dreams only lasted for an hour before the nightmares came or maybe I should call them my twisted memories.

I walked through the halls of my old school with my best friend Wren. We had been best friends since the beginning of freshman year. We both helped each other through this hell some people referred to as school. He pulled me along looking worried. He started looking scared, but I didn't know why. I was so confused as my heart thumped harder and harder as we ran faster and faster.

We turned a corner only to see one of the jocks in our grade. He spotted us and started running towards us. Dread ran through me as we turned around only to see another jock walking towards us. I began hyperventilating because I had no idea what was going on, but the look in the men's eyes screamed rage. More and more of the boys started appearing and coming closer.

One of the more built guys grabbed Wren and pulled him away from me. I screamed out and tried to punch the dangerous looking man holding Wren. I was stopped by one of them who grabbed me from behind and covered my mouth. I tried screaming but all that came out were muffled sobs.

The guys, surrounded Wren and started beating him. This wasn't just a little fight. I wasn't even sure they would stop until he was dead. I was now crying and kicking trying to get to my best friend. Wren fell to the ground as he passed out. The boys stopped what they were doing and ran away. The boy holding me clutched me tighter. "I'm sorry." He whispered then ran away. I turned around and saw Carter sprinting around the corner. I couldn't think straight. I dropped on the ground trying to help Wren.

"Please wake up, please wake up." I cried to myself.

After a few nudges Wren woke up, much to my relief, but that still didn't relieve the confusion and fear that clouded my mind. He e planned to me about how this wasn't the first time and he asked me never to tell anyone about it. I didn't want to agree, but I did because he was my best friend and I trusted him. It was one of the worst mistakes I ever made.

I woke up shaking and crying. I hated them I hated all of them. I hated myself!
