'Help!'
I woke up with loud pants, "It's just a dream."
I close my eyes not letting it control me. I was tormented between letting it pass or fall my gaze under my bed. The double deck creak and I cringe. I'm at the upper portion. I grab my phone at my side and check the time. It reads three o'clock in the morning.
I tore my gaze away from my phone and decided to come down. I steadily hold myself to avoid causing to much movement and noise.
I look at the person who's been through worst. My gaze move passed my brothers who are snoring loudly. I hold my tear and produced a small tight smile, tilting my head to the side while flashbacks blurred my mind. Those consist of happiness from childhood to heartaches when growing up.
A faint noise was heard from the outside. I pulled the curtain on our window slightly not making an appearance when I tried searching for the cause of the noise but I'd seen nothing. My brow furrowed but decided to shrug it and went back to my bed careful that I won't slip carelessly like last time. That hurt badly.
When I put my blanket on me I stop and was suddenly scared after remembering my dream.

My hand hurt from all the writing I made. I heave a sigh and closed my dark journal.
"Del, are you coming?" Kyda asked. Kyda is someone you could be with if you want to or not if your not in the mood. She totally understands you.
"No, I'm fine here."
"You sure?" Then she give me the look, 'I-don't-think-so'.
I raised my brow and turned my back to her, "Yeah, yeah." I didn't check to see if she's still there instead grab my bag to return my journal. I grab my uniform in work that seems tangled with my books and notebooks.
I check it to see if there's any spots that needs to be clean, again.
Nope. Thank the heavens.
I brought it with me since I kind of cut some parts of it and washed after sewing. Yeah, I'm that careless.
The room is silent for a while since all my classmates grab some snacks. Only Freya, the silent one in the room seem to stay too.
I rest my head on my hands and grab some sleep before taking our quiz after this.

40/50
Hmm better than never. Thought I would have more three points if I'm good on the spelling side. I lack some memorization when I had the time to study about their names plus I could have more two points if only I recheck my essay.
We'd discussed some myths before ending our class.
"Ms. Gozzel, Luke said you already collected the projects."
Ms. Gozzel turned and look at Andre confused, "Yes, I did. Why?"
"What? I didn't submit mine." He said while scratching his head.
"Oh, so yours the one that is missing. No worries, you young man got zero already."
"No way!" He complained.
"Yes. You didn't follow what I'd said plus your so late in deadline." She spin and slam the door shut.
"Bitch" Andrew muttered. Everybody in the class look at him sympathetically except the stupid friends of his. They're laughing their ass off.
"Ooh!, somebody's going to be dead." They all but tease him. He laugh and slap their heads.
"Fuck off."
"Ands!" I called. Is it weird that I made all my classmates nicknames? Nah.
"Yes?" He asked not really in the mood while fake laughing with others.
I walked near him and laid my hand on his right shoulder.
"Let Ms. Gozzel cool off first then approach her on dismissal time. I'm sure what she said before won't happened. Remember when she said she would never put a blank or zero in our grades. Just be sincere and do whatever it takes to make up for it." I said smiling.
"Yeah, I'm already planning for it but thanks, your the best president ever." He said, hope in his eyes.
Yup! part of my job and to what I believe needs to be done.
