             I ran down the hallway each step calling out "I'm here! I'm here!" I burst through the class door. "Your late again." the teacher said glaring at me. "Yeah...I missed the bus and had to run." I said awkwardly. The teacher sighed "Just sit down Abigail..." The teacher said pointing to my seat. I sighed and sat next to my best friend zaira.

Zaira passed me a note 'you still up for shopping after school?' I replied 'yup.' I didn't really pay any attention in class. It was the same as always. Mix some things, watch things erupt, and mix more things. It's not like we were learning about how to make better pancakes or anything like that. After class was lunch, of course I sat with my few childhood friends. Zaira, Ben, and Xavier. Not many people liked us because they thought we were outcasts but I loved my friends, even if they did act a bit strange.

All of my friends looked very very different. I have (natural) red hair and weird looking orange and hazel eyes, Zaira has very very curly light brown hair and green eyes , Ben has white (unnatural) hair and grey eyes, and Xavier has black hair and blue eyes. I unpacked my lunch and nearly vomited. "Step dad pack you a ham sandwich again Abi?" Xavier said reading a comic. "Yeah. He doesn't care that i'm a vegetarian." I said closing my lunch box and stealing a piece of celery from Zairas lunch. My stepdad hated me and always packed me things I dont and cant eat like meat. But, my friends always gave me some of their lunch.

After lunch there was math and art class. Art class was my favorite class out of every class I take. It was just so fun to just paint and draw things for an hour. After school I met Zaira, Ben, and Xavier at the mall. "So where do you guys wanna go first?" Ben said looking around at the interior of the mall. We always called Ben the peace maker of our tiny group. He was always the one person in our group to resolve all of our problems (in non violent ways). Zaira pointed at her favorite store of all time...Hot Topic "LETS GO THERE!" She said while slightly jumping up and down. Zaira was like the little sister of our group. She always made treats for us and is always cheerful and child like. We all walked into hot topic and I went over to the T-shirts with Xavier. 

        Some random dude was next to us and I thought nothing of it until I looked at his face. Most of his face was hidden beneath the shadows of his base ball cap but I could have sworn I saw jagged fangs sticking out of his mouth. I quickly looked back at the T-shirts and Xavier looked like a ghost. I mean he was pale as hell and that never happens to him like, ever. "Abi...go get Zaira and Ben...we are leaving." He said nervously glancing around him like something was gonna fall on top of us. "O-Okay?" I said walking to get them. Once we all got together -outside of Hot Topic- all of my friends looked worried. "I....I um....I think we have to go Abi..." Zaira said looking around her the same way Xavier did in Hot Topic. "Whats going on guys?" I said Crossing my arms. "Ummmm...Nothing!" Zaira said trying to act like she wasnt lying but I could tell that she was. 

         Suddenly the lights in the mall started to flicker for a straight five seconds and the ground started to shake a bit. Like a tiny earth quake. When the flickering and shaking stopped Zaira took me by the hand and started to run, Xavier and Ben behind us. "Zaira! What is going on!?" I said while running. "I promise I will explain later Abi..." She said as she burst through the glass exit doors. She faced me and held both of her hands to my cheeks. "Please forgive me...I promise I will explain when we get to safety." She said as a blue and purple mist flooded my vision. "Zaira what do you mean safet-" suddenly everything went black.
