Emma POV (picture of emma above)
I hear my alarm go off but I'm already awake. I didn't go to sleep last night. I couldn't. It's too hard.
Everybody tells me I'm paranoid, and that I'm fine. But they don't know. Nobody does, because nobody can see your thoughts. And nobody can see your dreams. Nobody knows what goes through your head everyday. They don't know that every time you close your eyes, you see them. And when you open them again, they're still there. They don't leave, and nobody believes me. They say I'm just a kid, and I just have a crazy imagination, they say I'm fine. They don't know that lurking in every single dark space around you, they are standing, watching you. There is no escape from them. They're everywhere.
Nobody else sees them. Nobody else hears them. Only me. I don't understand why, I don't know what I did.
*time skip to school*
since it's my first day of high school the first thing I did was go to the office to pick up my schedule and locker number. When I got there I greeted the lady at the front desk.
"hello I'm here for my schedule."
"ok dear, what's your name?"
"Emma Bates"
she typed something in her computer then went to the back to get what I needed.
"here you go sweetie have a good day."
I said a quick thank you and then left to find my locker 234b. Once I found it I quickly put my books in and grabbed out my schedule to see what I would need for my first class.
math
language arts
lunch
science
history
art
I walked to the math classroom. When I got there I took a seat near the back and started taking notes once class had began.
That's when it started happening. They were here. They were watching me. they started whispering my name.
Emma. Emma. Emma.
"Ms.Bates is everything alright? You seem a little distracted." said Mr.Peterson
"oh umm, yes s-sir, every things fine" I said
he looked at me for a second, as if debating on what he should say next. Then right when he opened his mouth to speak
bringgg!!
I was saved by the bell. I ran out of the classroom as quickly as possible to avoid any further interrogation.
"EMMA!!"
"ALISON!!!"
Alison has been my bestfriend for years, but she went on a vacation with her family over the summer so we haven't seen each other in forever.
"I've missed you so much!!" I yelled
"I've missed you too!" she said with the same level of enthusiasm
Luckily we had the same next class together so we could keep talking.
Emma. Emma. Emma. come here Emma. Help us Emma.
"WHAT?!?!" I thought
Emma HELP US!!
"EMMA!" Alison yelled
"huh?"
"you completely spaced out, class is over already!"
"what how we just got here?!"
"I told you, you were totally out of it, I tried to get your attention but you couldn't hear me. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine" I answered a little too quickly, hopefully she doesn't say anything.
"okay.." she said unsurely
"I'm fine really, don't worry I'm just a little tired is all."
"ok, so can I come over after school, I miss Mr and Mrs.B "
" of course they've missed you too."
Since Alison and I have been friends for so long we treat each others houses as our own, and the others parents as our second parents.
"Great but be also need to schedule a time for you to come to my house my parents miss their second daughter."
This caused us both to start laughing.
