"How is my favorite girl doing?" Josh asked me.

"Great." I say.

"How about we go upstairs and play around a bit?" He asks.

"I'm not sure about that." I say.

We start to walk up the stairs of my friend jen's house when a growl erupts through the whole house that has me stopping in my tracks and turning around.

Beep, beep, beep.

My alarm goes off waking me from my dream. So many questions are swirling around in my  mind and I cant help but question what that dream meant. I just don't understand where this dream could have come from. It simply doesn't make sence and the more I think about it the more my head starts to hurt.

I rub the temples on my forehead, not wanting to think about this stupid dream. So with the dream still lingering in my head I get out of bed and walk to the mirror I have placed in the corner of my bedroom. I look at my reflection and see my soft features staring back at me. My face oval shaped with my blond hair cascading down my shoulders covering my light red crown birthmark. My skin is light but tan. My Almond shaped electric blue eyes stare back at me. A sigh escapes my light pink lips. I go into the bathroom and take care of business before going into the closet. I pick out a pair of skini jeans with slits at the knees of them and throw on a black and white striped like crop top. I grab a brown bag I have and put everything I am going to need into it.

I fill in my eyebrows and put on some mascara before leaving my room and walking down the stairs to my foster mom Mel in the kitchen were I find her every single morning. I grab an apple from the bowl on the counter.

"Is that really all you are going to eat?" Mel asks.

"I'm not really that hungry so yes." I say as I walk towhere my shoes are and slip on a pair of white convers.

She takes a $20 bill out of her pocket and hands it to me.

"Go get yourself something for breakfast after you pick up Jen." She says.

"Okay." I say smialing.

"I kiss her on the cheek and walk out the door but before I can shut the door a little 5 year old Tristan is running out the door holding onto my leg.

"Tris baby I need to get to school." I say prying him off of me.

"But I want you to stay Courtney." He whines.

"I will be back right after school." I say.

"Promise?" He asks holding out his pinky.

"Pinky promise." I say intertwining my pinky with his.

"Okay have fun Courtney!" He yells while running back into the house.

I get in my car and drive over to Jens house and honk my horn.

She comes out the second the horn is honked and runs to the passanger side.

"Good morning girly." She squeeks.

"Gosh you have to much energy this early in the morning." I say while driving to the school.

I know Mel gave me money for breakfast but the truth is I just am not hungry.

"Yeah well you know I went for a run this morning." She says.

"Cool did you go running into the woods?"I ask.

"Of course is there any other place to run?" She questions.

"WellI mean you could go running on the sidewalk or the streat but I guess it is the only real place you can go running." I say starting to ramble a bit.

Jen chuckles to herself and I ignore her by putting the radio on and Just a dream by Carrie Underwood is on. I sing along and Jen starts yawning and her eyes start to close. That's weird she was perfectly awake a second ago. I think to myself. I just keep singing and as the song finishes I pull into a parking space. I shake Jen awake and she looks confused and like she has no idea whats going on.

"What's wrong Jen?" I ask after she gets out of the car.

"Oh it's nothing I'm just really tired." She says.

We enter the schools building and we head to our lockers which are right next to eachother. I grab my book and she grabs hers. We start walking to class when al of a sudden Josh steps in front of me.

"So are you going to the party tonight?" He asks me.

"Um... I... don't like partys." I say.

"That's a shame I would love to hang out with you." he says.

I blush a bit at his words remembering my dream and he just casually walks away.

"Okay you have to come to my party tonight." Jen says as we start walking to class.

"No way." I say.

"Please if anything just come for me I really want you to be there and tonight is a full moon." She says.

"All the more reason to stay indoors." I say.

"Please?" She pleades giving me her puppy dog face that she knows can't resist.

"Fine but just this once." I say.

"Yay the party starts at 10 but I need help setting up so can you come over at 8:30?" She asks.

"Yeah and I'm guessing that includes getting ready?" I ask.

"You know me so well." She says as we walk into first hour.

We both sit down and talk about the party and before I know it the teacher walks in and starts the lesson.

The rest of the school day was the same as any other day. When the last bell rings signaling the end of the school day and the beginning of the weekend I walk to my car only to see Jen making out with her Boyfriend James.

"Get a room!" I yell and the both pull away quickly. I here a weird growl but ignore it and tell Jen to hop in the car.

I drive her home so she can get started on the stuff for the party and drive home. The second I walk through the door Tristan is latched onto my left leg.

"Hey buddy." I say while rubbing his hair making it a mess.

"Hi Courtney." He yells.

"How is my favioorate boy?" I ask.

"He's hungry." He says with a pouty face.

"Hmm... I see, is he hungry for some icecream?" I ask.

He shakes his head rapidly and I can't help but laugh.

"I think we have some here let me go see, why don't you go up stairs and see what movie to watch?" I ask.

"Okay." He says running up the stairs.

I laugh at him and walk to the kitchen to find mel with two bowls of vanilla ice cream, one with Strawberries and hot fudge for me and the other with hot fudge and sprinkles in the other for Tristan.

"I knew that when you got home you would do Ice cream and a movie." She says.

"Thanks Mel." I say.

"No problem." She says.

I start to walk out but turn before exiting the kitchen.

"Hey Mel can I go to Jens house for a party tonight?" I ask.

"Absolutely." She says.

"Thanks." I say.

"You need to go and experience these types of things. Just don't get to drunk." She says sending me a wink.

"I know I don't want a repeat of the last time." I say.

We both laugh and I walk up the stairs to see that Tristan has picked the Avengers Age of Ultron movie to watch. This kid and his super hero movies I swear. But I will watch it I mean have you seen Chris Hemsworth? The movie starts and we eat our ice cream and watch silently. After about an hour into the movie I look over at Tristan and he is fast asleep on the couch. I smile at him and turn off the T.V. and walk to my room to finish up my homework.
