Low Lights

Chapter 3

We got on a bus, because my sister wanted it so badly. I was fine with it though, i was pretty tired and didn't want to do that much of excersizing stuff. Once on the bus, i regretted everything. I saw some kids sitting in the back, looking at me as if i was some psychopath or something. But, since there was only some room left in the back, we had no other choice then to go sit there. "Well, well, well! Look what we have here!" Said one of the kids, who looked like he was the leader.
"What?" I said with an annoyed voice. If there is one thing i hated the most, is that a random person tries to get on my nerves. Especially when i'm tired as hell. "Ohohooh! Looks like we have a little grump over here!" The two other boys started laughnig, one looked like he hadn't put fresh clothes on in days. The other, looked like he hadn't excersized in years. And then, you had HIM, with a trying to look 'cool' haircut and a rock T-shirt, which looked like he got it from the dollar store. But one thing they had incommon, was their age. All 15-ish years old. "Oh shut up! You don't want to get on my bad side, especially when i'm tired!" "Oooh, am ia scared!" That was it, my final piece of little to no patience was gone. But before i could even say something, my sister saw the look on my face and stopped me. "Calm down, just ignore those 'know it alls'. They will stop eventually." "Hhhh ok." But, they weren't ok with it. "Hey look, guys! This 'big noy' is listening to his sissy." Once again, they started laughing, as if it was the joke of the year or something. And so it went for a whole bus ride.
Finally, we arrived at school. But to our dissapointlent, they had to be at the same place. "Are they seriously going to follow us?" I whispered to my sister. "Just ignore them, it's the best thing you can do for now." "Ok then..." We got to the playground, and both went our ways. My sister to her friends, and i got to mine. "Oi mait, how are ya?" Said my friend as i walked towards him. He was that normal looking kid, but way more clumsy. His name is Kaiden, same age as me, same year. "Meh, ok for what happened so far." "Well, tell me! What happened?" I explained everything so far, about the night and the bus. "Well, sucks being you man!" "Oh well, it is what it is i guess." Then the bell ringed, and we got to class.
After the lessons, we got a break. "That was sooo borrinngg!" My friend complained. "I know, but it's your future, you know." "Hhhere we go again!" I looked at my friend and saw a smerk on his face. "3..." I better get out of here!" He said jokingly, and started to back ofd a bit. "2...1!" "Well, co'e and catch me then!" Is started charging at him, noticing something from the corner of my eye, i stopped. "Oh no..." I whispered silently to myself. My friend stopped and walked towards me. "What'd ya see?" "Them..." "Goddamnit!" He said, a little to loud, because they noticed us, and started walking towards us. "Hohohooboy! Look what i found!" The other kids started to come too, with ugly smiles on their faces. "Ok i'm done here, BYE!" I said while dragging my friend by his arm with me. "Grrr.. DON'T YOU DARE IGNORE ME KID!!!" I heard him yell from behind me, but i didn't care less, i wanted to get out of there. "You think they comming back?" "Probably, yeah." "What then?" I thought for a second. "I don't know, just go away i guess." "You know, you act strangely today..." I,liked at him, he at me. "Sleep, remember?" "Oh yeah! Sorry." "Hrrmmm... it's ok." The bell
struck again, and we got to the classroom once again.
I remember falling asleep in class. Oh god did i regret. The dream was short, but clear. I remember seeing the same dark figure, but somehow it had grown. Turning its head slowly towards me. But once i cauld almost see its head, i got awoken by a piece of crumbled up paper hitting my head. When i shook awake, i cuald see that i had ritten everything down, but something was odd about it. Some letters were darker then others, and when i looked closer, i could see that it was forming some kind of figure. "Ethan Rogers, what are you doing?" I looked up to see my teacher standing there, quite grumpy. "N-nothing, miss." "And what is that then? Hmm?" She saw a few doodles i made in my book. "Oh this? Nothing, just some lines." I sat there, nervously, while my teacher stared at me for a few seconds, before going back to the lesson.
After the last three ours of school, me and my sister got back on the bus. Luckely for us, we didn't see those jerks again.
Once back home, i was exausted. "Hello, sunnys! How was your day of school?" Our mom said with a big smile on her face. "Amazing!" My sister said. "And yours, Ethan?" "It was fine." I answered while plopping down my schoolbag. "Oh? Is there something wring?" "No, just a bit tired, that's all." "Ok, but annyways your dad is comming home in just a few minutes. We will eat then, ok?" "Ok!" My sister said, still full of energie. "Ok." I said under my breath. I got to my room, and layd down on my bed, at least there's were i woke up. Apperently i fell asleep while i was walking to my door, right in front of it, almost holding the door nob. My sister found me there, and put me in bed. "HELLEN, ETHAN, TIME FOR DINNER!!" I jumped out of bed, and got downstairs. "Well, you look sleepy!" My dad said as he sat down at the table. "Yeah, just woke up..." "Hmm? And why were you sleeping then?" "Couldn't fall asleep annymore last night." "Still from the nightmare?" My mom asked. "What nightmare?" My sister sat down at the table. "Oh nothing, just a stupid dream." "Oh... ok i guess..." After that, it was pretty silent. Nobody knew what to talk about. After we finished food, we did our daily routine. We watched tv, put on our pyjammas, brushed our teeth and got to bed. But after all, it wasn't just a dream...
