I woke with a start, sweat beading up on my forehead, the dark shadows filled the room, crawling desperately to grab at me writhing at the sides of my bed. I toss my head back and forth frantically searching for movement. after a few long moments I'm satisfied nothing is there. I stare into the darkness. After a few long moments my eyelids feel heavy and I lay back down and drift off to sleep. The darkness in the corner smiles.
*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP* My alarm screams at me to wake. I answer it with an annoyed smack knocking it off the nightstand. I grumble and sit up in bed irritated. " Nothing like school to destroy one's hopes and dreams of sleep, " I groan while swatting my hand at the closet, it creaks and swings open, casual clothes slide out and lay themselves on the bed. I walk down the empty hall and toss my hand in the direction of the coffee pot and it fills itself up and starts to brew the aroma permeates the air. i walk back down to the bathroom and take a quick hot shower. once finished I dress in my usual clothes, dark shoes, dark socks, dark jeans, band t-shirt, and a grey baggy hoodie. i walk down and pour myself coffee into a thermos and walk out the door , locking it. i walk down the stairs out of my bland apartment and into the parking lot passing by the various cars until I reach mine, a black Acura TSX I get in and start it up glancing in the rearview mirror I see myself, slightly mussed light brown hair that sits down towards my eyes, although not quite the "emo" look. black obsidian eyes with purple rings under them from lack of sleep. I had an average nose and strong jaw . people say i'd be a good athlete, probably best at track. but i have no interest in sports, it's pointless. people grabbing each other desperate for anothers balls. they don't really appeal to me. i drive to school without anything note worthy. I'm less than the average student, I don't do much and put off my homework, work out a little,and am extremely cocky. i drive to school.
i park and stick my parking pass in the windshield, I get out and start to walk towards the door but am interupted by a a hug around my waist.
"Ez!" shouts a female voice from behind me the arms slowly retract from around my waist and i turn to see who hugged me, my girlfriend felicity dowles, a.k.a. eli, and her friend leah birchmander.
"hey girls, how's it going?" i say while sliding my hands around her waist and giving her a quick peck on the cheek.
"Good, now that you are here,babe." Eli said smiling. She kissed me on the lips sweetly.
"uck!get a room you two!" Leah said prentending to gag.
"alright lets get inside, It's about class time." I say slipping away from Eli and wrapping my hand around hers,squeezing it softly. I started walking to the building, to my first and worst class ever, history.
