Eyy guys. Fine Fine. I mean GIRLS and GUYS. If you're reading what I'm writing right now and you're like, "WTF?" it probably means that you didn't read everything i wrote previously. LOL, well, here's chapter 3! Enjoy :]

**********

When I got out of the house, I saw a big black SUV on the driveway. I also noticed that my bike was tied on top of it too. I walked over to it tried to untie it but I failed. Epically.

"God!" I yelled out in frustration. Zachary then ran out the front door with a worried expression on his face. I looked at him in awe even though I was mad for a being out so late.

"Oh good. You're still here. I thought you left already,"

I looked at him in disbelief. He gave me a confused look so I eyed my bike so let him know that I couldn't get the bike off.

"Oh! Sorry about that. Boy scouts. I'll get that for you," he said starting for the bike. Then he stopped and looked at me. "You know what, why don't you just let me send you home," he said trying his best not to sound weird or stalker-ish. "You know, since it's late and all," he added when I didn't answer him. "And something might happen-"

"Let's go," I said cutting him off. He took his car keys out and with a click of a button, we went inside and he drove me back to my house.

**********

Half of the car ride, we sat in an awkward silence. The other half, we talked about, well, me.

"So your name is Aura Carter. You're 15 turning 16 in May, your hair is dark brown, hazel eyes, and finally, you're a book wor-"

"Sometimes!" I yelled out interrupting him.

He gave me a smile and continued on. "You love chocolate but you're allergic to nuts and seafood, and you're height is.. 5'7?" he said unsure.

"Well, 5'6 and a half." I told him.

"Right, that's not close to 5'7 at all," he said sarcastically. I gave him my "ugly" look and we both laughed. "So is there anything else I need to know about you Miss Carter?"

"Yes. Please don't ever call me that ever again. That makes me sound like I'm my mom, which I'm not," I said smiling. "Oh, and take a left here. Unless you want to run into a tree, and then take a turn onto the drive way," I added on. He did as he was told and got me home safely. He drove up to my driveway and I noticed that the porch lights were on.

"Uh oh. I'm officially in a load of dodo," I said trying to sound serious and getting out of the car.

My mom was at the driveway in a flash. She was wearing her white robe and her pink bunny slippers. She had her hair tied up into a bun and she smelled of her signature perfume. Peaches. Many people told me that I look excatly like my mom when she was younger with our Brown hair and everything but I dont think so.

"Aura! I thought you were kidnapped!" she exclaimed hysterically.

"Mom," I said trying to interrupt her.

"What happened to you?" she continued on.

"Mom," I said trying to interrupt again.

"You didn't answer your phone and-"

"Mom!" I shouted, getting her full attention. I didnt even notice that Zachary was by my side.

"Yes sweetie?" she asked.

"I'm okay alright. Just fainted again and Zachary here," I said gesturing towards Zachary, "helped me. That's all," I explained to her.

"Oh, what a nice boy. N-nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too ma'am," he replied, nodding his head a little.

"Well bye Zachary. See you at school tomorrow, okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, Tomorrow. School. Alright."

"'Kay. Bye."

"Bye." With that, he got back inside his car and drove off.

"Come on mom, let's go inside," I said when we couldnt see Zachary's car anymore. I started walking towards the house but I didnt hear my mom's footsteps behind me so I turned around and called out to her to hurry up. "Mom, hurry, let's go. Inside?"

She didnt reply. Instead, she just stared at the spot where Zachary stood. I walked over to her and tapped her on her shoulder. "Mom?" I said. She finally looked at me but it was different. It looked like she just got out of a dream or trance.

"Yes?" She said a few seconds later.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Oh yeah. I'm okay. Let's go inside." And together we walked into our house.

**********

I am running. But from what? I could tell that I'm scared and it is really dark but I dont recognize the place I'm at. The only thing I saw that was clear was a lake. It looked dark, like something was hiding in the waters. I can tell that i'm wearing a dress as red as blood and its torn at the hem but I had no scratches on me besides the wound on my forehead.

"Aura!" I heard something hissing.

"Please!" I heard myself say. "Dont hurt me. Go away!" I yelled out.

Then there was a horrifying scream.

**********

"Aura!" I heard my mom shouting. I opened my eyes and noticed that she was shaking me.

"Mom," i said in relief. She pulled me in for a hug and tears starting coming down my face.

"It okay hun. It was just a dream," she said sounding unsure. "Yes. Only a dream," she said again sounding more sure. I laid my head to her chest and cried myself to sleep again.

**********

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I woke up to my alarm again. My eyes were swollen but i couldnt remember why. Then like a ball, the event from last night hit me and i remembered everything.

I got up and starting looking for my mom. She was in neither of our bedrooms. I walked downstairs and there she was, in the kitchen making breakfast like usual.

"Good morning," she said when she saw me.

"Morning."

"You better hurry. School starts at eight," she said reminding me about the time. I looked at the clock, which was hanging on top of the T.V. across the room. It read 7:26 a.m.

"Shit." I said starting to run up the stairs.

"Aura!" My mom shouted after me. I turned around and raised eyebrows to signal her that i'm listening so hurry up.

"Never mind. Its nothing but just be careful."

I nodded and looked at her confused. I turned around and continued running up the stairs.

**********

I rode my bike to school as fast as I could and arrived at 7:58. It usually takes me 35 minutes to get to school but it only took me 29 minutes to get there today. I locked up my bike and ran inside. I didnt bother to stop by my locker from fear of being late. As soon as i walked into my first class, the bell rung and my teacher, Mrs. Colphy closed the door. I ran over to the first open seat i saw. The tables were partnered up and i noticed that my partner was a boy with black hair.

"Okay class. Introduce yourself to the person next to you. They will be your partner for everything and for the rest of the school year," Mrs. Colphy said.

I looked to my partner and our eyes locked. I saw the most gorgeous, bluest eyes ever. And then i saw the owner of the eyes.

"You!" We both shouted out in unison, evidently shocked.
