Save Me

~Chapter One~

After I ignored the third snooze alarm, my mom started pounding on my door. Just like any other morning. This was the morning i was suppose to pick my self up and get on with my life.

Instead of just yelling at me, though, she started getting that scared quavery sound in her voice that'd she'd had so often lately,

"Anastasia!" she kept pleading, "You have to get up now! This new school is being very lenient in letting you in. Don't blow your first day!"

Like i was supposed to be excited about going to a new school, a reform school at that.

My old school couldn't decide if i was the hero or the villain, and i guess i couldn't blame them. I was having a hard time deciding that myself. Was i the bad guy who set into motion the plan to mow down half my school, or the hero who sacrificed herself to end the killing? Some days i felt like both. Some days i felt like neither. It was all so complicated.

The snooze alarm sounded again and i pawed at it, accidentally knocking it to the floor.

"Ana, come on!" mom yelled. i imagined she had the cordless in her hand by now, her finger possed over the 9. "Your new school starts in a hour. Wake up!"

I curled up around my pillow and stared at the horses printed on my wallpaper. Ever since i was a little kid, every time i got into trouble, I'd lie on my bed and stare at those horses and imagine myself hopping on one of them and riding away. Just riding, riding, riding, my hair swimming out behind me, my horse never getting tired or hungry, never finding another soul on earth. Just open possibility ahead of me into eternity.
