Chapter One:
Today... Lonely, grim, doubtful, cold and sunless, was just like everyother day... Except for one thing...
And that thing was unknown. It was only a feeling a hade inside that nawed away at my stomach. It kept me awake last night. My eyes started stinging at the non-present moisture. My body felt the lack of sleep. My arms ached, my legs ached, even my brain ached. My head swirled with a vast of colors and a screeching sound like rugged fingernails on a unwashed and discolored chalkboard. It pounded with the thought that it had not found what is really was.
I blinked...
My eyes filled with tears but my ears rang with the alarm clock.
School...
I switched off the annoying contraption and groaned as I sat up from my unhelpful bed. So much for having a memory foam bed that supposedly kept you asleep for all hours of the night... But getting to the beginning of sleep was troublesum last night.
I sorted through cloths, picked out a nice shirt and ragged old blue jeans. I was so groggy that I could bearly get my head through the hole correctly. My earrings got caught on one side and my hair became a mess of a mess that was already there.
I got my bag together and brushed my hair with only a few rough strokes and did the same to my teeth.
I shuffled my way to the bathroom. My fingers ran around the edge of the old medicine cabnet. I stopped at the corner, sliding my forefinger under it and pulling it slightly. It opened and my hand found the ibuprofen and pulled off the cap. I poured two out, and stuck them on my tounge. I walked around with them still in my mouth and filled a glass of water, drinking it swiftly, catching the pills, sending them down my scratchy throat and into my stomach.
I gatherd my bag in one hand, my sweatshirt in the other. I walked out the front door, stretching my limbs and climbing down the stairs. I fiddled around with the keys to my car when I sat in it and stuck them in the engine. I made my way to the school slowly, making drivers behind me angry and disgusted with me, but I could really care less. I just nodded to every driver who passed me and smiled at everyone and anyone who flipped me off.
Pulling into the school was a hastle. Kids strode along the parking lot and some tried jumping infront of me as a joke. My smile never showed it's face to them. They saw my serious face as the joke faded into a dull and almost angry expression. They only walked away from me, knowing my rotten attitude, they wouldn't want to stick around.I got out of my car, making my way towards the school. I cursed under my breath at the random jokesters that tried following me. Appearntly one joke wasn't enough for these little nieve creeps.
I spun on my heels, "What do you want?"
They attempted to look away. "Nothin'"
"You're such idiots..." I began walking away but they stayed at my feet. "Go away," I screamed at them.
"Fine..." They turned and left me alone.
I started up again towards the school.
The I saw the Love of my Life... Jack, his dark hair placed gentally around his head, his black eyes cunning in every way and hi graceful walk was to die for. And that's how he walked to me.
"Hi, Baby," He said, putting his arm around my waist and pulled me into a hug.
"Hi, Jack."
"What's wrong, honey?" He asked, almost too serious sounding.
"Nothing, just not alot of sleep last night," I scuffed my feet against the black tar. "It's just that... I've had a really bad feeling lately..."
"About what?"
"I don't know, just that it won't let me sleep and and eats me away. Or so it feels..." I shiverd a little bit, and he pulled me closer to his side, giving me his warmth.
