The Mystery Teens; Nightmaares

Chapter One (Maisy)

I was a nervous wreck as I stared into my full length mirror of my room. Today was not just the first day of school, but the first day of my senior year. I wanted everything to go perfectly, though I knew that wasn't going to happen. Too much was going on in my life right now. I had too many things to think about, and to figure out.

For one thing, I need to put a label on whatever me and Bailey are. I know it's killing her and it's killing me too. I just don't want to jump into anything without knowing for sure that that's what I want. She is what I want, right?

Nevermind, I think too much about that, our group still hasn't been the same, there has been this horrible wedge between all of us. We don't hang out as much as we used to and im arfaid school will only drive us apart.

And on top of that, this is my last year of highschool and I still feel like I don't know who I am. I stare at myself in the mirror and look over the casual outfit I picked out for myself. It's nothing out of the ordinary for me, just a t-shirt and jean shorts with small rips in them. I close my eyes and try to imagen how I want to look, but all I see is the blackness of my eyelids.

The yelling of my mom and dad is enough to pull me out of my thoughts and I run downstairs and though the kitchen, avoiding the fight going on in the living room.

I hop in my car and drive in front of Bailey's house. Before I could even think she runs out and my heart flutters. She looks so cute in tight tank top and loose skirt that came just above her knees and her stupid blue crocks that i normally ahte, but she makes them work.

"Hey!" She greets me happily as she jumps over the car door and lans into the passenger's seat.

" Hey Babe." She leaned over almost as if she wanted a kiss, but I didnt expect to kiss her in the open like this. I just stared at her blankly and then she leaned away a little awkwardly. "Sorry." I mumbled and looked away.

"Its whatever. Your not there yet, I get it." She mumbles back and I could tell from the hurt in her voice she didn't get it. I didn't say anything, just drove off. I would normally drive to school with Jace and Gianna as well as Bailey, but they had other things to do after school so they needed their own cars.

We pulled into the school parking lot, still silent to each other and it stung. I know I should say something but I don't know what to do, and there was no way I was kissing her on school grounds. Saying that to myself mad me stomach turn. I can't believe how bad of a girlfriend I am, if I actually am one.

"I'm sorry." I muttered as I put the car in park. "I just, I don't know." I can't explain it, well I can, I wasn't ready to be in an open relationship with a girl.

"I think I can explain it for you. Your not ready to be in an open relationship with a girl." She said, taking the words right from the thoughts. I just nod and she rolls her eyes. "Well I am." She says and opens the car door. "Come find me when you are too." She walks away, leaving me crushed and feeling defeated. I didn't even walk through the school doors yet and I.m already wishing for summer to return.

I walked into school and found myself lost of where to go. Bailey and Gianna was out of sight and Jace was talking to Peter and his friends. I considered going over to Jace and Peter, though I can't stand his obnoxious friends.

"Maisy!" I turned around to see my once to be best guy friend who I haven't really talked to since freshman year.

"Zack!" I smile at him and engage in his arms. "Long time to see." I laugh a little awkwardly. Me and Zack used to hang out all the time, but it was my doing that drove us apart. I was so caught up in my group and solving mysteries with them that I pushed all my other friends away.
