It Happens

William...

I walk into my dorm and change into my pyjamas. I don't bother brushing my teeth or having a shower, I'd have one in the morning. I turn the light off and sit on my bed cross legged. I was in a dark mood and I knew it, I think everyone did. Well a dark mood was easily solved with a meditation session. I relax myself and close my eyes. I let my mind drift. I start to think about my class and what they would be doing. If I was somewhat correct they would be in one of the computer labs. Maybe I should try and contact them... But how? As I thought this I could hear a familiar voice, it sounded like my teacher. I started to get excited. I concentrated on getting a visual and then I could see the classroom and my class! I was looking from the front of the room so I was near the data projector. If not in it, but once again how? I look around and then down at myself to see I was wearing my Lyoko costume, I hear a gasp then look up to see my whole class looking at me and the teacher carrying on oblivious. I wave meekly at them and they all stared. The teacher turns around and almost freaks out at the sight of me on the projector. "Talia?" unable to stop it I smile, "yes Ms Jones?" she blinks and opens and closes her mouth to shocked to say anything.

 "TAYLIA!" I look around and see Gemini, Hannah, Jacob and Mitchell all looking at me. I grin, "Hi guys!" just as I say this the door to my left opens and our principal and superintendent walk in. They see everyone staring at the projector then look at the projector and see me. Crud. I could hear someone knocking on the door, "Talia! Are you in there?" uh oh it was Odd. What do I do?

 “Talia?" the principal asks as he comes out of shock. I look at him and nod, “yes sir?" "Where are you?" I look at him, "I don't know sir..." I hear the school bell ring and some of the students get up and leave along with Ms Jones. Obviously seeing me was a little too much for them. Only Gemini, Hannah, Jacob and Mitchell remained with the two school leaders. The knocking was getting louder. I had to get to at least one of my friends, THAT’S IT! Of course I could try and message them. As I thought this I realise I was losing contact. "Gemini, Hannah, Jacob, Mitchell have your phones with you when ever you go somewhere ok? I need you to do that for me." they nod absentmindedly knowing that I was leaving. Hannah and Gemini looked like they were going to cry. The boys looked distraught and the superintendent was trying to talk to me but it was too late I was back in my dark room. Odd was still at my door trying to get my attention. No... It wasn't Odd... Crap my bad it was Aelita. "Are you OK Talia?" I stare at the door. "Yeah I am why do you ask?" "I could hear you talking to someone that's all." I smile, "I was talking to someone... That someone was someone I really needed to talk to. Now don't worry about me, you need some sleep." she doesn't say anything for a minute, "I guess I do. Goodnight Talia." "Goodnight Aelita." I hear her pad down the carpet like she was tiptoeing. Then I realise why, my clock said it was 5am in the morning. I groan and lay down almost immediately falling asleep.

I awoke the next morning actually well rested and ready for anything, after talking to my friends and reassuring them I felt awesome. I grab my books for the day, change into my favourite jeans, which were neon pink, my blue misfits band tee and my trusty black converse high tops. I go over to the mirror and make a discovery... I peer into the mirror about to put some lip gloss on and then I see it, the roots of my hair were a bright vibrant blue. I gasp and take my hair out to get a better look and sure enough I really did have blue roots, like in the photos! How did I not know of this before? What were my parents hiding?

I race over to my care bear rucksack and check my timetable again, I'm pretty sure I had a spare period. I find the right page and sure enough I did. I grin wickedly as I pull my phone out; I search up the nearest hairdresser’s phone number and then call them, “Ugh… Hi. Can I make an appointment for 12:30pm this afternoon for a colour? Yes thank you. $110 will be fine. I do have long hair. Ok then bye." I terminate the call and put my phone away still grinning madly. I pick my stuff up and head for the door, as I was about to leave I grab my beret and put it on, so no one would see my roots. I close the door and lock it.
