The hallucinations

There was nothing I could blame this on. Clear as a summer's day. There were eyes spying on me. Watching my every move and what made things worse was that they were messing with me. My first instinct was to scream but no sound came out. The words were forming in my head, my ears were listening intensely as if the words I had thought of had been said out loud. My throat tightened. The thinning air barely able to get to my lungs. The only thing able to escape was a little whimper like a lonely child does to their parent when they plead for attention.
"W-w why?" I spat out nervously.
The wall's eyes slowly began to reveal a mouth. A mouth that inside had razor sharp teeth that looked like shark's teeth. Like it was able to cut through flesh, tissue and bone without even breaking a sweat.
"Because no one would believe you," the husky voice had a familiar tone.
As if I knew this thing. It was impossible. My brain clicked like I'd had a eureka moment. I knew the voice. I knew the person. But how? This was impossible.
"Hey, what you doing?" Zac's voice echoed around my room.
Steadily, reality came back into existence and Zac's voice had pulled me out of my trance. I turned my head, straining my neck as my feet were glued to the ground, unable to move.
"Huh. Oh, I was just... um... admiring my room," I lied.
I know it was a terrible lie but I couldn't think of anything better to say. What was I supposed to do? Thinking back on it, he must have thought I was some weirdo, standing in the middle of my room motionless.
"Oh ok. Look, I get it. If you need to admire your room to stop thinking about Mum, then you do that. Everyone deals with grief differently. I need to go back but if you need to talk to me you can." He said reassuringly.
What I didn't understand was why wasn't he talking about my vacant room and the pair of eyes and lips in the wall? I turned my head back around to see that my room was no longer empty and my walls...they were clear. What was happening to me?

To say that I got barely any sleep that night is an understatement. Not even coffee could solve the problem. I narrowly managed to get on my overcrowded, claustrophobic bus as I just sat on my pristine carpet just looking at the walls in my room for an hour straight. The school gates looked gigantic to my small 5'3 ft size. The school loomed over me, my brain dreading the things it was about to be filled with and later forget.
"Hey girl!" Screeched my best friend, Susan. Her high pitched voice pierced my ear drums. I really didn't like her, yet every time I tried to leave her I felt bad. Like I was betraying her or something. Because to be honest, I hated having a friend. I wanted to be on my own. I used to love the constant happiness and joy with Susan but when I found out what my mother had done, I couldn't hang around with anyone anymore.
"Hi, I'm going to head to class," I told her.
"Oh I'll come!" She shrieked excitedly.
I really didn't want to deal with her gossiping about things that no one really cared about. In fact, I didn't want to deal with her. I had more pressing issues like the fact that THERE'S SOMEONE IN MY WALL!!!
"No, it's ok. You're not even in my class this period," I tried to find a plausible excuse.
"Oh... well ok then. Have fun in maths!" Her annoying voice echoing around the school.

I sat down at the very back of the room and sunk into my potato sack of a hoodie. I hated maths and that's probably why I was failing but since the death, I had a free pass to literally do anything I wanted.

I was startled. A voice had said my name. It wasn't my teacher, he was too busy repeating the same old maths jokes that everyone got bored of the first time he said it. Where was it coming from?
"You thought you could get rid of me?" The croaky voice continued.
It was there behind me.
"Sadie! Sadie!" My maths teacher screamed.
"Um sorry... what was the question?" I asked.

The day went by in a blur of lessons. Soon it was time to leave and go home. The best part of the day but I couldn't shake this feeling that something wasn't right...
