"I don't think its a sprain, I think its just a regular injury, but you should probably sit out until its over, or you could stay here until the pain goes away. I'll have a note written for you about it." I decide its best to stay here. I don't want to be around Carlos and the rest of the class. They'll probably make fun of me and tell jokes about how unfit I am, but its not like they're going to do it when we switch classes. However I'd rather have it later than now. I lay on the bed and find myself taking a long nap. It was pretty good until I had a dream. The same dream I had the first time. I start twitching and feel as if someone is shaking me. I awake, and see that the nurse is giving me a look. "Malachi!" I sat up quickly. "Huh?" "You need to get to class. The bell has rung." Being groggy and somewhat shaky, I get up anyways and head for class. I don't run into Carlos, but I run into few of the members of my class and they point at me as I walk by. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be, it could have been worse. I didn't expect to have a quiz today in English, but since I'm the type to know what something is right off the bat, I only miss a few questions. My teacher hands out the papers and congratulates me once she hands me mine. I hear a couple of people whisper some things like he thinks he knows everything. When is he ever going to fail? He's such a show off. I got comments like this all the time. I couldn't help that I knew most things. I wished they'd just lay off. Kalila sits behind me. She pats my back. "Good job Mal." She says with a grin. I get butterflies, and a wave of energy hits me suddenly. I get a bit twitchy, but manage to compose myself so I don't look stupid. I smile back and turn around. I'm glad now since I don't have to worry about if Kalila likes me or not. I'm alittle sad she doesn't see me more than a friend but I rather have her as friend than nothing at all.
I wish the bell would ring. I'm starting to get nervous. I get this way sometimes. Probably a habit. Kalila seems to be soaking in the rest of the lesson and keeps her eyes on the board. I drone some of it out and daydream. I have had that dream two times. It must be normal. Who doesn't have the same dream two times in a row? I shrug it off and the bell rings for us to go home. There's nothing to do after school. I guess I could go home and play on my laptop. I head out side and reach for my bike. I watch as Kalila passes me and makes eye contact. She seemed hesitant and looked as if though she wanted to ask me something. She keeps walking. I shrug it off and ride on home. This time I make sure I don't see that guy. I somehow feel like I should avoid him as much as possible even though he's just a regular guy. Luckily I don't see him, so I'm able to go on home without having to worry about him.
My parents and I have a good dinner and I retreat to my room playing online games. I'm so into the games I don't realize the time. I freak out alittle and scold myself for not paying attention to time. I lay in bed and get comfortable, but I can't because I have this weird feeling someone is watching me. I quiet my breathing and listen. Of course there's no sound, but I feel weird. I sit up. Across my room is a window. No ones outside, but its too dark to tell. I scrunch myself into the covers hiding my head under the covers. It makes me feel better, but the odd feeling of being watched hasn't left me. Could it be that man? Nah, why say that?! He doesn't know where I live. That's ridiculous! But he appeared in my dream. It happens! I shake it off and force myself to go to sleep. The feeling will go away its not the first time its happened. Yet its different somehow like in a threatening way of watching someone, like your preying upon them. I shake a bit and pull the covers farther over my head. "Go away, whoever you are." I sound like a child. A few minutes afterwards it leaves. As late as it was I managed to get some sleep that night.
