  Her eyes glow bright emerald green in the moonlight; her beautiful long black braids, that almost fall to the grass below, reflect in the light. As she gazes into my soul, I know what's to come. Her eyes, though appearing ungentle, are different to me; this is calming. She gently drags her beautiful, yet intimidating, knife across my neck. She threatens me, as if I would try her anyway. She gently pierces the gentle skin on my neck. It doesn't matter to me; the pure lust I feel within holds me there. She suddenly drops the knife. THUD. She grabs me and yanks me toward her. We fall into a kiss. 
  *BEEP BEEP BEEP*
  The sudden scream of my alarm clock startles me into consciousness. Aw man. It was another day of the hellhole I call school; 'Crooked Willow Highschool'. I begrudgingly flop out of bed and trudge to the bathroom. I'm unreasonably tall; at about 6'3. I have to squat to see myself in the mirror, which was placed by my 4'0 mother. I brush my teeth and my hair, then take a quick, cold shower to wake my body up a bit. I then hop out of the shower and blow dry my poofy red hair, then do a little braid in the front of my hair. I throw on a black crop top, then throw on my favorite flannel; which is orange. I then step into some regular jeans, shoes, and of course socks. Last minute I throw on my necklace I ALWAYS wear. I then quickly grab my backpack and my phone, then head out the door. I spot my mother in the driveway. 
"Bye Momma!" I shout.
"Bye Korey dear!" She replies.
  I always get made fun of for my name because it's a "boy's name". But, jokes on them; I'm a lesbian. It's been about a month since I've been out of the closet. Almost everyone close to that I'm out to is supportive...all except...my dad. He actually moved out and divorced my mother just because she didn't kick me out for liking women. But that's fine by me, I couldn't care less if he left or not. But anyway, I hurriedly made my way to the bus stop; just in time to catch it before it left. I take my seat in seat 10 and scoot as close as I possibly can to the window, as always. Then suddenly, a beautiful girl sits beside me. Long black braids, emerald green eyes-wait-do I know her from somewhere? Wait- is that- is that the girl from my dream????
