Trapped in a Nightmare-living a fairytale

chapter one "newbie"

I woke up, tired and sore, on a torn stained and rotting matress, that used to be my bed. My room wasn't any different, the walls were falling apart and there was mold that stank like hell. "what...?..but i didn't even..take them...". I thought to myself as I looked around the room with my eyes confused, trying to find any clues. it was all clear as soon as I saw a bottle of pills spilled on the ground, and an empty glass of water. "dammit!..I forgot about last night..".

*Flashback*

I was lying in my bed, reading a book when suddendly my mom stormed in Tears and make-up going down her face. She was drunk, i could tell. She reeked of wine, And then she started to yell "WHY DON'T YOU TAKE YOUR PILLS!? DO YOU WANNA BE A BURDEN?!" she grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and put pills in my mouth. I started to choke as I heard her laughing, "Don't worry! have some water!" without thinking I grabbed the glass of water as i chugged it down as quick as I could

*Flashback ends*

"well...one day of reality couldn't hurt right? I got up slowly, picking up the pill and putting them In the trashcan, i didn't wanna look at them. The effects weren't wearing off so it was definetly more then 2 or 3 pills. "guess i'm going to school like this" I thought to myself as I put on my uniform and walked out the house, straight to my school. I was suprisingly early, so the doors were still shut. there was no one else but me, so I leaned against the wall and took out m phone. the screen was cracked but the display itself was intact. as I was scrolling through my phone, I suddendly heard someones voice next to me.

"um..h-hello..!"

"ahh!" I got startled and let out a quick scream, startling them as well. "a-ah! sorry I..d-didn't mean to scare you!" I took a deep breath and looked at her, giving her a warm smile "don't worry about it! I'm just not used to talking to people here, they usually just avoid me since.." i paused. "since what?" she asked confused. if I tell her now, she would probably avoid me too..I shouldn't lose this opertunity! "ah it's nothing..nevermind." I said as I giggled akwardly. "oh, ok then!" she said, while letting out a small giggle.Since I calmed down, I decided to take a better look at who I was talking to. she was a bit smaller then me, she had a round face hazel eyes and long dark brown hair, she was a little on the curvy side. she was wearing a white oversized sweater with a cute panda on it, the words under it were wrtten in japanese. "hm..must be a weeb..or an otaku." i thought to myself. she was wearing black shorts and white knee high socks, and also black heels, which still didn't make her taller then me, but i was the tallest out of the girls in this school so I couldn't blame her. "hey, cute outfit by the way!" she got a little flustered "o-oh! thank you!" she smiled brightly. "soooo..you new here" I asked, since i haven't seen her around here before. I was in a private-school so there weren't much people in there. "yep! switched schools! someone died in ours, I just didn't wanna study somewhere where a students corpse was!". I laughed, "well ours Isn't any better". "did someone die in yours?" she asked with a smirk. when i shook my head she giggled and replied with "then It's better!" we laughed together. I realized I forgot to ask her name! god I felt stupid..but before I could she said "dumb of me to ask now but..what's your name?"

"sarah." I answered. "and yours?"

"Maya" she answered with a smile.

as we were talking, I didn't notice how fast the time flew by. I would always be so focused on everything around me. But talking with Maya made it feel like there was no one but us. but because I wasn't aware of litteraly anything but our convo..I got a liiiittle startled when the bell rang......"Ah!" I jumped a little and looked behind me to see the students walking towards the door. "w-wait school's starting already??" I slowly started to laugh "how long were we talking!? I feel like it's been only a minute!" Maya laughed along, and suddendly grabbed my arm right afterwards. "well we're gonna be late for school in a minute if we don't hurry up!" Maya said, while pulling me towards the door. we were running to our classroom as fast as we could, Maya still holding my arm. We made it in time to be greeted by our teacher telling me to go to my seat while they introduced Maya to the class. "Everyone, listen up!" the teacher said to get everyones attention. "this is Maya, she will be your new classmate as of today. Maya, why don't you introduce yourself?" she  got a little nervous but then decided to speak. "H-hello everyone, I'm Maya..as you already know..I am 16 a-and I like p-paranormal activities, I-I am a proud otaku!....a-and I wanna be a a psychologist one day." she let out a nervous giggle, while I gave her thumbs up for motivation. She sat down next to me, and you could already hear the quiet chatter between my classmates. Maya started panicing internally, but then I placed my hand on her shoulder and said "don't worry, you were great they'll love you!". She smiled and took a deep breath, while the teacher carried on with the class.

~TIMESKIP~

At the school yard, things got much better for Maya! The class was talking with her, lauging with her, and I as always stayed in the same spot as I did everyday, a little well desinged porch-swing. in the far corner of the school yard. It was so quiet and peaceful, perfect Atmosphere to draw or write something new. I decided to finish the sketch of one of my many made up characters. they looked a lot like maya when it came to face body and hair, but instead of high knee socks or a panda hoodie, My character had bright green eyes and wore a black cloak and a black mask. She was a healer,and a sourcerer of magic and witchcraft. but as I was about to finish my sketch, I heard a familiar voice in the distance. "Saaaaraaah! sarah where are you?". of course...Maya was looking for me. I watched her ask the whole class where I was, even describe me! "have you seen Sarah? you know the really tall girl with short blonde hair? wearing a black oversized hoodie? heart shaped face? Blue eyes??" I tried so hard not to laugh, how could she know that much In one lesson?? when the bell rang, I scared her from behind making her jump. "AHH! you idiot where were you!?" she said with a pouty face. I chuckled and said with a smirk "secretly watching you describe every single detail of me possible?". She laughed, "well then show up next time!" she said while we were walking out of the school yard.
