3:00 A.M

~1~

    I twisted and turned in my bed unable to find a comfortable position to fall peacefully asleep. "Peacefully?My foot!" I thought, as I huffed and got up. My feet dangling down the bed when I looked at my reflection in the mirror and huffed once again. The dark bags under my eyes made me scowl. No amount of makeup would be able to cover them,not that I use any. I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration and glanced at the digital clock on my side table. 3:00 a.m it read in bright red light. I frowned and as if on cue I felt an intense gaze of a pair of eyes burning holes in my back. I turned around and like everyday saw no one. Nothing. Nada. My frown deepened and I laid back down. I felt very uneasy and snuggled deeper in my bed under the covers pulling the sheets tightly over my head and waited for sleep to fall over me so that I can get rid of the uncomfortable knots forming in my stomach.As minutes ticked by, at some point I don't know when  I fell asleep.  

 Just like every other day since "that day" I woke up with a start and jolted straight up. I started panting heavily like I was in need of all the oxygen in the world. Cold sweat was running down my face and neck. 

I had the same nightmare again. 

The same big black bead like eyes with sparks of green in them staring at me like they can see right through my soul, with hunger evident in them. And the same silk material being wrapped around me, squeezing the living lights out of me and I wasn't able to do anything as I was too captured in those eyes.

I shook off the feeling and tried to control my breathing. I glanced at my clock and met my expectations when I saw 6:45 a.m glowing from it. After regaining my breath and clearing my head I huffed in annoyance and got out of bed knowing that I wont be getting any more sleep. I had plenty of time to get ready as my school starts at 8:15 a.m so I wasn't in a hurry. Lazily taking a bath and doing my morning chores, I changed into my plain white uniform which I really despise because it reminds me of nurses which reminds me of hospitals and I absolutely hate hospitals. No offence to doctors though. 

I braided my waist long brown hair and wore my ID card before wearing my glasses. Yea.. i do wear glasses but mind this, I'm far from being classified as a nerd though I'm a straight A student. Don't ask me how because I, myself, do NOT know how. I looked myself in the mirror after getting ready and frowned. Finally at 7:55, getting more annoyed by myself, I picked my bag and jogged downstairs only to see my mom heading to the door to leave for work. I greeted her, grabbing a chocolate bar from the kitchen and jogged outside. Not seeing my dad's car in the driveway again, my frown deepened. I haven't seen him in two weeks even though we live in the same house. He comes home late from work and goes before i wake up.

I felt anger coursing through my veins but I closed my eyes to concentrate on my breathing to relax myself. Both of my parents worked. I'm not complaining because they do it for me but sometimes I wish we get to spend more time together. I hardly ever see my dad now and it's almost same with my mom. 

I started walking down the block towards the bus stop. It was a cloudy day of October and the wind was a little chilly blowing gently past me making me feel at ease. A small smile appeared on my grumpy face. I loved the chilly cold winds of autumn and winter. They never fail to make me feel better. As I reached the bus stop, I opened my chocolate bar and gobbled it up in 4 big bites. Don't judge me!. I was hungry! The bus soon arrived and I climbed inside greeting the driver who was a middle aged man named Fred. He smiled in return and I made my way to the back and got seated near the window of the left corner. 

When the bus started moving, I felt my eyelids getting heavy due to lack of sleep and I rested my head on the window closing my eyes. All too soon, those horrible eyes came rushing to my mind. I jolted up straight while cold sweat started forming on my forehead. I took long deep breaths to steady my racing heart, annoyed by the fact that I can't even close my eyes without those eyes scaring the living lights out of me.

I wanted to scream and cry in frustration but the thought of me looking like a maniac in the early hours of the morning in a school bus prevented me from doing so. I huffed and rested my head again on the window and starred outside.

Soon enough I found myself walking through the school gates.
