Amira and Veronica were finally supposed to meet. I had been hoping I'd get to see Amira before lunchtime.
Lucky enough for me I met her on the way to my locker that morning.
"Hey Nicole!" She said. "How are ya?"
"Oh. I'm fine thank you." I replied with a smile "You?"
"Oh,I am wonderful." She replied.
"Veronica says she wants to meet you." I said.
"Really?!" She exclaimed and I nodded. "Finally! That's amazing!"
"Great." I said with a smile. "So, we'll meet lunchtime?"
"Fantastic!" She exclaimed. "I'll see you in math class."
"Sure enough." I replied and she skipped away.

In the middle of first period I had to go use the bathroom. I excused myself and rollef as fast as I could to the bathroom. I got there and there was no one in there apart from-
"Veronica?!" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh, hey Nicole." She said as she lifted her head to look at me. She was crouched up on the floor against the wall.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Oh. I don't wanna go to class." She replied with a weak smile. "In fact,I don't exactly want to be around other people today."
"What about meeting Amira?!" I asked worriedy.
"Oh. We're still gonna do that." She said giggling. "But I want us to eat at the football field since no one'll be there at that time today."
"Oh,okay. Cool." I said with a sigh of relief. "I thought you were gonna back out. That would have been so sad."
"Why would I do that?" She asked rhetorically. "I wouldn't break my promise to you. You didn't and wouldn't break yours."
"What promise?" I asked confused.
"That we'd be best friends forever." She replied.
"Ooooh. That promise." I said giggling. "Well,I really gotta pee now."
"Well what are you waiting for?!" She said laughing.

Lunch time finally came around and I had told Amira about Veronica's change of locations in math class.
We were headed for the football field and Amira was pushing me.
"Why doesn't she want to eat at the cafeteria?" Amira asked.
"She's kinda shy sometimes." I replied.
We got to the football field to see that Veronica was already there with her baguette.
"Veronica!" I called out to her. She turned back and I waved.
"Nicole!" She waved back.
"Is that her?" Amira asked and I nodded "I've never really seen her before."
"That's cause we don't have any classes with her." I replied. "She's in the arts and we're in the sciences."
"Oh!"
We got to where she was seated and settled.
"Hey! I'm Amira." Amira said giving Veronica a little wave.
"And I'm Veronica." She replied with a little wave too.
"I've heard that." Amira said with a giggle. "It's very nice to meet you."
"It's very nice to meet you too."
We talked about random stuff and ate. Veronica gave me half of her baguette again. We offered Amira some,but turns out she didn't eat bread. Which was too bad, cause Veronica's baguettes are amazing. Veronica's mum has talent.
We decided to hang out at the park the coming weekend because lunchtime was not enough time for 'enough fun'.
We were going to give each other temporary tattoos with coloured pens and glitter.
It was Veronica's idea and she said she would bring the pens and glitter.

I woke up, breathing and sweating profusely. My eyes felt dry, and my head was spinning with confusion as I recalled my dream.
It was night and raining. And I was at school for some reason.
I came out of the chemistry lab to face the hallway and it was completely dark and windy. Apart from me,there was no one else in the building.
I started to head for the exit so I could go home. But as I rolled there I stopped immediately when I saw someone right in front of it.
I was still very far so I couldn't exactly make out the person's specific details. But I could tell it was a girl with long hair. She was wearing a dress that kind of resembled a doll's.
Suddenly she started to run towards me really fast. I gasped and turned my wheel chair around so I could go back into the chemistry lab and stay there. At least until the next day when everyone comes to school. But before I could reach the door,she bumped into me so hard I fell out of my wheelchair.
She halted and turned back around to run towards me again. Before I could get back on the wheelchair she rammed into it and pushed it far away from my reach. And then she turned round again, this time she didn't hit me or my wheelchair and she ran all the way to the end and turned a corner.
I started to crawl to my wheelchair.
All of a sudden,the girl came back. I would have headed for the chemistry lab,but I wouldn't make it considering where I was. I decided to crawl away from her as fast as possible.
She was walking this time. Well, more like staggering. So I decided to climb unto my wheelchair. This time I made it on.
But the moment I did she started running again. She caught up with me but she didn't push me off my wheelchair again. She grabbed the chair and spun me round. Then I noticed, this wasn't any ordinary girl. Her hair was dirty and filled with twigs and dirt, I couldn't make out the colour because of how dark it was in the hallway. Her eyes were turned backwards, either that or she didn't have pupils. Her lips were as chapped as baked clay,her skin was so dry, ragged and torn, it looked like she was an old bag of sand. Only instead of leaking sand, she was leaking blood.
She increased in size until she was giant, then she grabbed me by my neck, lifted me up from my wheelchair and kicked it away. Her hand felt like sand paper.
Why was this dream so real?
Then she cackled very weirdly. She sounded like a turkey, but with the voice of a woman. And as she did it her eyelids fluttered.
She then smiled and...
...And ate me.
