This is My Life

Chapter Four-Back in the Bus

Chapter 4

As soon as we finished dinner, I went straight to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, changed to a fluffy pjs and comfy top and my moo moo slippers and went to bed with my iPhone. I played Taylor Swift's song : "Safe and Sound".

I took the remote and turned off the lights. I barely got asleep because my mind keeps recalling all the things that happened a while ago. Elen bullied me, I was late for Science class, I wrote to my diary, went to the bus with only six passengers, noticed weird stuff in the village, got home alone, pranked by a bunch of girls, and dad scold me.

"Wow, I can't believe a lot happened...", I said to myself as I tuck myself to bed and took my stuffed cat beside me.

"I hope you won't make me feel weird too, okay Mandy?", I said to my stuff cat whispering.

As I closed my eyes, I heard a loud banging noise outside. So I was freaked out and turned on the lights. I wore my moo moo slippers and opened the door carefully.

"Dad? Charlotte? Stop doing this to me I was about to sleep!"

"What did you say Candice?", dad went out of his room, carrying Charlotte who is sleeping.

"Did you hear the loud banging noise that came from outside?", I asked.

"You might be dreaming Candice go back to bed.", dad said as he closed his and Charlotte's room.

I was curious then, so I went downstairs and took the emergency flashlight.

"Anybody there?", I asked as I waved the flashlight all over the first floor.

Huh, nobody. So I checked out the windows. Nobody was outside, not even a cat or a rat. If none, where did that loud noise I heard come from? This is weird.

I went back upstairs and found out that I accidentally closed my room's door. And unluckily, it's locked.

"Oh wow, how great!", I said.

I went back downstairs and slept at the bed-turning sofa. I slept there as I felt a short shake.

"Huh?!", the shake woke me up. "What is all this?"

I waited for a longer shake but nothing happened after the short shake. So I went back to bed and thought that maybe I'm so sleepy that it's making me feel weird stuff already.

Then I heard a loud noise of people chatting and laughing.

I woke up again and looked outside.

"Hello? I know people are there! Show up now!", I said irritated.

Nobody answered, only the cold blowing wind. Brr...

I got scared and thought that maybe I'm being played by a somebody, like a witch...or more terribly a witch's ghost whose body was buried in our land.

Oh my I just wish I didn't close my door. Maybe I'm a lot safer there...

Then I remembered there was a duplicate key on the carpet of the doorstep of my room. I ran towards the room and looked under the carpet.

Ah huh!, I said screaming.

Then, I heard another voice of a bunch of people. As I said, Ah huh, they all laughed. I looked around myself, but nobody was there...as in nobody. I started getting so scared I tried to open the door too fast, that I dropped the keys and it went under my dad and Charlotte's room.

"Ugh. I'm doomed.", I said.

Tok tok tok!

"Um...dad? Are you still awake?", I tried talking to him calmly.

"Well for now yes!!!", he answered.

"Can you get the keys that's inside your room? The keys suddenly went inside, and I can't get it."

"Just sleep!"

"Um dad, my room is locked."

"Here you go!!!", he said as he opened the door and gave me the keys.

"Thanks dad," I said as he banged the door in front of my face. I suddenly opened my room, locked the door, and went to bed.

"This time, nothing can make me got out of this bed!", I said to Mandy, my stuff cat.

As i hugged my pillow and fell asleep, I woke up and saw myself hugging Charlotte, in our school bus.

"Charlotte?!", I shouted shockingly.

"Hi wissy. That was a deep sleep you got.", said Charlotte.

"What do you mean? I'm dreaming now!", I answered, as my bus mates laughed.

"What?!", I asked irritated.

"Wissy, you were asleep the whole time. We got in a large traffic and Mr. Barker said maybe we'll reach school in another thirty minutes.", said Charlotte.

"So does that mean... Every shout in my dream, I shout here?!", I asked.

"Of course wissy, we even laughed at you because every time we bump a rock you shake, even though you're asleep."

"What?!"

"Yes wissy. We were in the middle of the traffic for one hour already.", said Char.

"Looks like we have a dreamer here!", said Elen Jones.

I suddenly checked my eyes if it got some goblins.

"Oh look, she's still sleepy and even hugs her sister like a pillow! Hahaha! I wonder how she sleeps at night.", she said as she took her bag and put on her earphones and listened to music.

I rolled my eyes at her and then I thought of my dream the whole trip.

"All of those was a dream? Quite impossible, I really feel every single part of it. Plus, that took one day! And only one hour here? I think this is the dream...", I said to myself.

"I hope what happened to me in my dream won't happen to me this day. It was horrible!"

"Wissy?", Charlotte asked.

"Yes Char?", I answered.

"Here use my hanky if you don't have. You have some saliva on your cheeks.", said Charlotte.

"What?! Oh fudge cake!",I suddenly took it and cleaned my face.

"Good thing I didn't ruin my glasses...", I said as I continued removing the saliva.

Ugh, I can't believe I will redo this day. If you get what I mean...
