Bella's Asylum

Chapter 1

"Guys come on! It'll be fun," I say excitedly.
"No. I've heard creepy stories about that place," Harper steps back.
"I agree with Harper, Bella. It's not safe and we could get in serious trouble."  
I look at my two best friends with puppy dog eyes. "Pwease?" I look into Rae's ocean blue eyes. I can tell she's about to give in when she plays with her brown hair.
"Ugh fine," she says with annoyance. Now I just have to convince Harper.
"Harper I'll make you a deal." She looks at me with curious eyes. "If you go, I will do your homework for a month."
She takes a minute to answer, probably weighing all her options. "Okay." I jump up and down. "But just this once," she rolles her eyes. We end up hanging out in my basement for about half an hour. Both of them passed out while we were watching the last movie in the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn Part 2. I look over at Harper, her orange hair is in two dutch braids. She's wearing an oversized cream-colored shirt with Mickey Mouse on it, paired with black joggers. Rae on the other hand has her hair down, it's covering most of her face. She is pretty much the exact opposite of Harper. Harper is more conservative while Rae is more outgoing, she's wearing a white crop top paired with red and black flannel shorts.
I go to do my nightly routine. Once I'm in my bathroom I look into my crystal green eyes and wipe off my makeup. I wash my face and brush my teeth before throwing my sleek black hair into a messy bun. I take one last glance at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing an oversized black shirt with black spandex.
    Getting into bed I can't help but think of what we might find on what I hope is sunday. I close my eyes, soon the darkness engulfs me.

"Bella! Wake up!" Rae yells. I fall off the bed with a thump.
    "Ow...." I glare at the two girls above me.
"Get up. We're gonna be late." Oh crap. I jump up and run to the bathroom to get ready. After I do my business, I brush my teeth and style my hair so that it's in two french braids. I throw on a pair of ripped light blue skinny jeans, with a white cropped hoodie and white converse. We all head downstairs, I grab an apple while the other two run to the door. Once in the car, Harper hooks her phone up to Bluetooth.
    "So, what do you think will happen once we're there?" I ask breaking the silence.
"What do you think? There's most likely gonna be a psycho and ghosts in it," Rae says.
    "Ghosts aren't real dude," I roll my eyes at her.
    "Okay, but people are. Murderers!" Harper is still silent.
    "Harper? You okay?" I ask. She nods and turns her head. I know that look, she always does that when she's scared. "I know you're scared. But we can bring some of our guy friends to protect us."
    She turns slightly and says, "I'm fine with just us, but I still think it's the second worst idea you've ever had."
    "What's my first then?"
    "When you wanted us to run away," they say simultaneously. Silence filled the car, a second later it was replaced with our laughter.

Once at school we go separate ways. My first class is Spanish. Mrs. Kenzy is my least favorite teacher, she hates me for no reason. Actually, there was this one time I got all the kids in my class to get a single balloon with their name on it with the words "here". We put them in our seats before she was in the room and then we all ditched and went to the beach. So, maybe not no reason.
    "Hola," I say with a smile.
    "Hola. Por favor, sientate," she responds as she watches me. I nod and do as she says. About halfway through the class Jace passes me a note.
    "Hey, you look good today ;) Hope we can hang sometime." I just laugh and throw the note at him.
    Mrs.Kenzy notices this little exchange...." Sra.Young,¿Qué es tan gracioso?"
    "¿Por que si, Sra.Kenzy, esta chico pensó que tiene una oportunidad con mi alucinancia." The whole class laughs, the teacher just rolls her eyes. I turn to Jace who looks embarrassed. 
After Spanish is science. Gross. The science teacher is a substitute, the original teacher is on maternity leave. The teacher walks in wearing a beige blouse and blue jeans, with black converse. The substitute is young and pretty but has no clue what she is doing. She doesn't know where anything in the lab was. To be fair she is new.
    It was finally lunch and I was excited to see my besties. When I opened my locker a note flew out. I pick it up confused. The note said, "I know where you're going. I thought I'd see you there (for protection, cause we all know I'm awesome)    -R  ;)"  I chuckle knowing exactly who it is. Reed was like the brother I never had. He was there for me when my older sister died. My eyes tear up thinking about it. I quickly wipe it away and head to the cafeteria. Once I see Harper and Rae, I smile. Seeing them happy was my favorite thing in the world. Well, chocolate chip cookies are, but I don't tell them that.
    "Hey guys," I say, sitting down.
    "Hey. Everyone's talking about what you did in Spanish," Rae laughs.
    "What? It's true," I slightly chuckle. "So, Harper, how was History?" I ask with a wink. Harper turns red and hides her face, glaring at me at the same time. Skill! .
    "Not funny, but it was okay," she shrugs. Harper sits next to Noah Storm, the guy she's been in love with since 8th grade. She's too shy to make a move. Noah has Blonde hair and is the captain of the basketball team. But unlike most boys at our school, he's actually nice and sticks up for people and doesn't play girls. I've also seen the way he looks up at her when we're in the stands cheering. He likes her, but she's to blind to see it, or she's scared and doesn't want to believe it.
    While talking about what's due for classes I feel someone behind me. I whip around fast to scare them before they can scare me. I look for the culprit, but see no one, until I look down   and see Reed laying on the ground.
    "What happened?" I ask, laughing.
    "You scared me. And I fell," he mumbles.
    "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you," I tease. He repeats himself again but just a tiny bit louder. "Huh?" He just glares at me and I know that's my cue to run for my life. While running through the cafeteria, I hear the other kids laughing. I feel two strong hands grab my waist and tackle me to the ground. At this point, I'm laughing so hard it hurts. The kids and teachers watch us with amusement.
    "Hi," I say out of breath.
    "Hi." He gets up and helps me to my feet. "You're a slippery one," he says.
    "Thank you," I reply as we approach the table. The girls just shake their heads at us. After lunch, Harper and I have pre-calculus together. Mr.Bruno begins his lesson, everyone starts taking notes. I look over at Harper and notice she has her hair in a messy bun. She's also wearing an off-white dress with a rose design with light brown ankle boots. My friends are very pretty. At our school, we don't necessarily have cliques, we're all one big group, so everyone is friends.
    The next class is History with Rae and Reed. Being one of the first students there, I watch the others file in. Rae walked in, her hair straight hair swaying behind her. Today she's wearing a maroon shirt with black shorts paired with checkered vans. Next to walk in was Reed. Reed's always been the guy girls drool over. He is totally hot, and he knows it, and he likes to look good. He styles his brown hair just so - longish on the top and shorter as it goes down - and he dresses just casually enough to make you think he doesn't care. Today he looks especially nice in his white shirt under a blue flannel with blue jeans and for shoes, black vans. For some reason, I got butterflies when he smiled at me.
