6:30 a.m.

I struggled to get out of bed. Is school even worth it? I think not.

7:26 a.m.

"Adrien Martin get ready for school!" my mother yelled.

"okay!" I shout back with sass.

I quickly threw on a white hoodie with a black leather jacket, fitted jeans and brown boots with my jeans tucked in nicely. I grabbed my car keys to my black jeep and left in a total of 14 minutes, A new record. As I drove to school something felt off, like a sadness, a kind of darkness was lingering.

"Do you hear that?" I ask my friend Benjamin.

"Yeah it's called pencil to paper." he said sarcastically while smiling at me.

"No it's like," I wave my hands like a madman "Water. Like a wave or something." I said, and sounded crazy while saying it.

He had a dumb look on his face. Well he was pretty dumb no offence. "You're crazy."

"Yeah I guess." I just brushed it off and ignored the sound for the rest of the day.

School ended, but I kept hearing the sound but I just kept blasting music in my ears. I got in my car and drove home.

Before I knew it was 7. all I did was drive, how is it possible that I just drove for 4 hours? I had no idea where I was. I tuned the engine off and got out the car. I heard the sound of water again. My gut feeling was to walk to the near by pool for some reason. I think I was at the community pool or whatever, I have never been here before. The sound pierced my ears, how could water be so loud? I look down at my feet and there was this oil everywhere. I touched it and it wasn't oil, it was blood. I looked into the pool and saw someone faced down, blood filled half the pool. I screamed. I screamed a scream that scared me. It did not sound like a human scream at all, and the water noise went away.
