Chp. 5

"Mom?"I scream. I'm still mad that she didn't pick me up, i guess she probably forgot what time school ends. I'm still soaking and very uncomfortable so I need to go change. "Oh Elena! Your soaking! I'm so sorry I didn't pick you up, I had to stay later to do some paperwork at work and I texted you but I guess you didn't get the message."
She says "it's ok mum, don't worry yourself." I reply, still in my wet clothes. "So, how did you get home?"

"Har- I walked." The last thing I want my mom to know is that a boy dropped me home. She's really strict about boys, because "she knows all they're tricks".

"Ok. So how was school today?" She asks while walking back to the kitchen to pack the dishwasher. "It was good, classes are normal, you know... Mom I gotta go change, as you can see, I'm soaking." I try and escape to receive a nod. My socks are still on and they're making tracks all over the floor so I pull them off and hold them in my hand to put them in to put them in the dirty basket. I stiffly walk up the stairs, take my clothes off and go straight to the shower and let the steaming water pour all over me.

Honestly, how was school today? I met a few people and made some friends but it wasn't very fun for a first day of school.

I don't like that kid Harry, he's obnoxious and annoying even though I've only known him for a few hours. I don't know him and he doesn't know me so why is he so rude to someone he just met? Did he ever hear of actions called manners? Probably not. I really don't know why I keep thinking about him,  it's probably just because I'm not used to such rude people. Everyone that i meet are usually well mannered and polite. I'm not a princess or anything but I'm just not used to it.

Oh yah! I'm still in the shower, How long have I been in here?

I climb out the shower, grabbing my teal colored towel, wiping my body and walk out of my bathroom into my cool-aired room. I put on my pajamas shorts and matching shirt, adding some fuzzy socks to keep warm. "Nite mom!" I scream, to lazy to walk downstairs and tell her. It's already 10:42 and I got to go sleep for school tomorrow although I'm not looking forward to it. Next thing you know, I'm drifting of to sleep thinking about manners.

Beep, beep, beep.

I slap the alarm as hard as I can, making the palm of my hands red. I feel like I've only slept for an hour even thought I haven't, it's 8 a.m and schools starts in an hour, what a great start to my damn morning.

I climb out of bed and walk straight into the washroom, I turn on the light and then I jump in fright. I see this ugly obnoxious creature standing in front of me.

At this point I'm not sure if I'm even awake. I try and hit the creature as hard as I can but I don't feel it. When I blink, it blinks, it's like copying me. I storm out if the washroom unaware that I'm not in my house anymore, and I'm shrinking! "Help me!" I scream for someone but there's no one. There's only me and this creature. I turn around and look in the washroom and the creatures gone.

Where did it go?

"Elena, I'm right here it's ok!" I hear someone say. It sounds as if they're coming towards me. I look up and i see a familiar face, I'm not sure who it is, but it's a boy.

He has curly brown hair, and beautiful green eyes. All of a sudden I'm being shaken and screamed at, by him.

"Elena!" Why is he screaming at me?

The look of the boy is changing, it's changing into a girl? A women. "Elena wake up!" A women is screaming at me. "Wake up, You have school!"

Wake up?

Wait, what?

"El, get up."

"Hmm? what? I thought... I already got up though.." I say to her confused.

"Nightmares." My mom plainly says.

Oh.

"Uh thanks mom.." I say to her while wiping my eyes, I turn to look at the clock and it's 7:43, wow ok then. I have time to get up and clear my mind from that quick and scary nightmare.

It's 8:32 and I'm downstairs earring corn flakes for breakfast. Since when do I get nightmares? I never get them.

Anyways I finish up my cereal and head to the front door where my shoes are.

"I'm coming now El" my mom says jogging down the stairs. "You look nice today mum." I compliment her "thank you" she's says giving me a genuine smile.

We reach to school and I shut the car door waving my mom goodbye. I think I'm gonna need my own car now, I cant have my mom drop me off and pick me up everyday at school, because it's annoying and embarrassing.

I walk into the school and I have 5 minutes t'il class starts, my first class is history and it's so boring.

I can't wait t'il I graduate and got to university.
