CODE RED (Book 1)

New Girl

I walked down the hallway in a slow manner with one hand in my pocket while the other carried my guitar case. I kept my eyes to the floor, to caught up in deep thought to look up.

I knew Alex was only trying to help me- same as my mom was, but did they really have to send me to a shrink just to talk about the nightmares I've been having? It sounded ridiculous and to be honest I was offended by it.

People went there for mental, physical depression, or just typical relationship marriage problems...so why did I have to go. I wasn't crazy and I wasn't about to label myself as being such.

Why the heck was so much stuff happening to me now. I had thought that once my dad was out of the picture things would go back to the way they were, but they hadn't, for all I knew they had gotten worse.

The nightmares wouldn't go away, my mom was seeing a man that I didn't feel as though I could trust, and then there was the fact that Alex's parents knew about our current gay relationship. I on the other hand still hadn't told my mom. But I was surprised she hadn't noticed herself depending on how much time me and Alex had spent together during the last past week.

I was literally barely home- she always had to call me. I guess it goes to show how much I really enjoyed Alex's company. I admit, I shouldn't have run away like that and gotten all angry, it seemed to me that I had been doing that a lot lately. Losing my temper I mean.

Doing the combination to my locker I put my things inside but held onto my backpack and got out my English Lit book and carried it with one hand closing my locker with the other, I was startled and jumped a few inches up as I looked at Nai's fa- well half of his face considering the long white hair with a light purple tip on the ends covered one of his eyes plus the other half of his face all together.

I frowned a bit. No doubt I was curious to see Nai's full features but I figured it was a private reason of why he covered his good looks. but I couldn't help but feel that it was a waist to hide a perfect face like his, but who was I to complain?

Hey Gareki. He greeted me happily.

Hey. I offered back. My tone sounded off which meant I was still distracted. I looked the other way still having some stuff on my mind.

Nai cocked his head at me a bit before asking. Something the matter?

We both began walking down the hallway as I contemplated if I wanted to tell him or not. He already knew about what I had gone threw so why not.

My mom and Alex think I should go see a physiologist, but I refuse to.

Hm? That doesn't sound so bad.

I rolled my eyes." Don't tell me that you agree with that idea too?"

Not saying I do, but it does help, after all I had to go see one myself. He said.

I raised an eyebrow looking at him half surprised. Seriously?

"Yeah." He shrugged. Not really a big deal. but of course I hated it at first because I thought only the crazy people go there.

I stopped suddenly watching Nai as he kept walking before he noticed I wasn't by his side, He looked back at me in question stopping in his pace.

You're right...That's exactly right. I muttered in surprise.

He walked back over to me and reached a hand up to my shoulder. What are you talking about?

I don't want to go there because I think it's for crazy people, I don't want to be labeled as that, just because I've been having nightmares more then usual.
