Chapter 3: My Nightmare

                "Wait....what's going on?...why is it so dark?" I looked around in complete darkness searching for something, anything to grab onto. "What the hell is this...a switch?" I flipped this switch and suddenly thousands of spotlights were pointing my way. I'd realized that I was on a stage. I couldn't move, it was almost as if I was paralyzed. "Oh no...n-no...s-" I couldn't even formulate a sentence. Millions of random people I've never seen before were staring me down, laughing at me. I couldn't understand what was so hysterical. I started shaking vigourously. I tried screaming, but no sound came out. They started throwing rocks at me. "S-stop!!! P-please...s-sto-"

"STOP!!!"

                You've got to be fucking kidding me...it was another fucking nightmare, I had just jumped out of my seat like a lunatic, completely unaware of my surroundings. I wasn't aware of the fact that I was still in my 1st period class either. Not only that but everyone, litterally EVERYONE in that classroom had burst into laughter and started pointing at me like I was some kind of unknown species, as if they'd all just seen the funniest thing in the world. I froze...tears streaming down my face. I started shaking...this is the fucking worst...my nightmare...had become a reality. I broke down. I grabbed my bag and phone and ran outta that classroom as fast as I could. I ran inside the restroom rushing into one of the stalls near the back wall and slammed the door. "I can't fucking believe this...I fucking knew some shit like this was gonna happen today.." I pulled out my phone, went to my messages and texted Charles. "well, i freaked and ran outta class..." It took a moment for her to respond. Then I felt my phone suddenly blow up in my hand. "r u alright? do u want mii to come down there? ash u can talk to mii. what happened???" I should've never said anything. I regret texting her now. Dammit...now she's probably worried sick about me. "n-no....that's okay..i'll manage.." "well, if u want to talk to mii later, u know where i am. we got the same lunch so u can tell mii then if u want. try to calm down ash. ill ttyl later. bai." I clicked the power button to my phone and slouched down against the wall inside the restroom stall. I let out a long sigh. "This fucking sucks-"

                I heard heavy footsteps enter the restroom. "Dammit! GET OUT GET OUT GETOUT!" I said over and over again under my breath. They started banging on my stall door. "Hey! I know you're in there! Open the door!" I got anxious. I started having flashbacks of 'them'...pulling out my hair, dunking my head into the toilet bowl laughing...laughing...it kept echoeing over and over in my head nonstop. "NO!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!! GO AWAY!!" I clutched my head in fear. I started panicking and hyperventilating. "Well...fine, if you won't open up, I'll just have to come in. Hope you're not taking a shit in there!" I heard them climbing up the door. He had landed into the stall like some kind of superhero. I was still shaking, I thought he was just another bully but before my eyes was that same punk-rock angel I'd seen in Mr.Craper's class. All he did was sit down next to me in the stall and stare at me from the side. "Wassup?" I looked at him and looked back down at my knees. I responded quietly, "....hi." He had a weird grin on his face. "Sooo, what bothered you to make you run outta class like that?" I responded sarcastically. "Heh, that should be obvious enough.." I rolled my eyes even though it wasn't my intention to be rude. He let out a short sigh. "Stop being so anti-social, y'know if something like that happens again you can't just walk outta class." I got slightly irritated at his little comment. "Aren't YOU suppose to be in class right now?" The guy chuckled, his smile was really something. "Dude, I'm known for coming to class once-a-fuckin' week. What's your name anyway weirdo?" W-weirdo?! You're the weird one! I figgeted anxiously before answering. "Um...Ash....you?" He extended his hand out to me still smiling like an idiot. "The names Pitch." I let out a slight chuckle. "Is that your REAL name?..." He looked alittle annoyed by my question. Is Ash your REAL name???" I gave him a dumb look, this guy must also be known for the king of Sarcasm and Annoyance. He stuck his tongue out at me like some lil kid would. He really childish and..kind of funny actually. It's strange...I haven't had a legit conversation with someone before, well besides Charles of course. "Anyway, what classes do you have, you seem like an interesting person to be around." I felt my heart skip a beat right when he said that. "U-um, w-well...I-" I knew my face was red. No one's ever complimented me like that before so I sure as hell wasn't used to it. I guess he noticed cause he gave me a weird look which caused me to cover my face with my sleeves. He looked like he was about to say something but just as he was, the bell had rang for 2nd period. "Well, what's your next period?" Pitch asked while we were getting up from the dirty restroom floor. "Um...I believe its Physical Health." He grabbed my bag for me and we left the restroom. "Nice! Guess we'll be having 2nd period together too." I was most definitely looking forward to having class with Pitch again. I felt a smile creep across my face as we walked down the hall together to our next period.
