I went back to sleep with my mouth dry and my palms sweaty. I woke up next morning. It was 5:15am. I needed more sleep. My eyes kept closing and my body kept falling on the couch. I told MA and Pa that I didn't want to go to school. "As you wish Mia" Pa whispered as he slowly kissed my forehead. I went upstairs to my room and hid under my quilts. I closed my eyes slowly. There was my biology question paper. All the questions were the same. 2*2*2*2*2 and so on... I was sitting in the examination hall all alone. Drops of sweat kept sliding down my forehead. It was hard to multiply so many 2s together. Plus, why did they have to give a multiplication question in a biology paper.
Suddenly I saw a black shadow moving around the examination hall. Chills started passing down my spines as it came closer. Closer. I tried to move but I was frozen. I couldn't move. It came closer and closer and closer. I tried to shout but I couldn't. I wanted to scream but my vocal cords had already given up. My throat seemed to push my screams inside. It kept a hand on my shoulder. I woke up with a thud. I kept shivering. My face was turning pale. Tears kept rolling down my cheeks. I never felt so atrocious.
Why was this happening with me? I wasn't the same Mia anymore. I was always scared. Every moment was scary. I saw shadows and structures everywhere around me. I crossed my arms and held them tight. Hours passed as tears rolled.Then it was time for dinner. MA and Pa had cooked all the food of my choice. Cherry cakes. Chocolate plums. Icy desserts. And what not. I took a bite of the cake. It was delicious. So yummy. But I didn't eat it. I didn't feel like. My grandparents took me to their room. They were trying to talk to me. "I don't know what is wrong wi......" I paused. I saw a woman standing behind them. She was smiling at me. My breathing heaved. I couldn't speak. They asked me what happened but I failed to communicate with them. " Oh nothing! It's ju..st..a hea..dache . I need to g..o." I told them. I ran upstairs to my room again.
I cried and cried. I wanted to suicide. This was terrible. My eyes had dark circles. My eyes looked so tired. I became gaunt. Thin. I wasn't attending school for over a week now. I had forgotten to smile. Everything was gone. Over.
