chasing BLACK

chapter 1

My alarm clock is annoying especially today, a cold Thursday morning, I wake up and run off to the bathroom to avoid being late for school. I started  by  brushing my teeth and performing my daily morning routine. By the way my name is Fateemah Adamu but my friends call me Mamie black because of my love for black, am obsessed with black colour  that I literally use black bedsheets and duvets,I mean who does that? Me. After am done with the bathroom I quickly put on jeans and of course a black shirt that has a hoodie and a pair of black sneakers. I run out of my room but I remembered what I always do before going out to school that is looking at the mirror, so I go back to my room and I look at myself in the mirror and smile, after am convinced with what I see, I decide it is time to go to school.I am about leaving when I saw a dark shadow through the mirror staring at me but trust me I don't care because i think it is  my curtain reflection in the mirror or my weird imaginations, or my sister because she usually play prank on me . But little did I know it wasn't my curtain ,imaginations, or sister but it is something that will change my life forever. I run out of the house to avoid being late to school but I did not forget to tell my mum and sister  bye, and yes I don't take breakfast in the morning. I arrive school running to avoid Mr Amin yelling because he yells at all late comers in front of the whole class,and guess what I arrive before him. The school is busy with students going up and down , shouting, laughing, some are in the cafeteria eating , it's so weird I mean who takes breakfast in the morning. I head to class only to see all the seats are filled except for one at the back of the class, I walk to the seat at the back quietly to avoid being notice, I hate morning greetings especially from people I don't want to see but I just have to because of school. waiting for Mr Amin to enter the class, I turn my head a bit and I notice a weird dark shape starring at me in a creepy way . Before the wink of an eye I did not see it again. I keep blinking but I see nothing and Mr Amin started his class. That means I didn't know when he entered the class, and deep down I feel weird.
