Screams ringing through the air, panic surging in me im looking around frantically trying to see anything that looks familiar.
Pillars made of weathered stone with carvings on the top of them start coming into view. A tall dark shadow yells out in a demonic voice that im not welcome here.
I wake up tangled in the sheets and sweat clinging to my body, gasping for air. Its just a nightmare I whisper trying to steady my breathing and rapid heart rate. A flood of relief washing over my body.
Just as I was rolling over to go back to sleep i heard my phone vibrate. I rolled my eyes annoyed at who could be messaging me right now. When I squinted at the phone screen the name Erin popped up.
Horrible timing for a message right now I could get 30 more minutes of sleep I thought to myself as I unlocked my phone. In all caps Erin had sent "WE GOT A NEW STUDENT!!!
The school doesnt ever get new students the last one we got was 6 years ago because we got a new principal and her daughter had no other schools to go to. Thats what happens when you live out in the middle of literally no where.
I rolled out of bed slowly, my body feeling extremely exhausted from the lack of sleep and constant tossing and turning all night due to the nightmare.
The first stop I made was the coffee pot. There's something about smelling a fresh pot of coffee brewing in the mornings that really just start my days off right.
I hoped in the shower letting the hot water consume my body and let my mind wonder on who the new student is. I really hope he or she isnt stuck up like most the people around here. In this town its all about money, if your family was rich you were treated like royalty, But if your family was poor you were just scum and treated as such. Snapping myself out of that thought i made quick work trying to scrub away all the sweat that caked my body from the dream I had.
Once I finished my shower I wrapped a towel around me and started walking to my room. Before I even opened the bathroom door I caught sight of a huge bruise on my shoulder.
What the hell! Where did this come from? I grabbed my arm examining the bruise closely. I must have into something yesterday and didnt notice until now.
I leaned down and checked my phone for the time to make sure I wasnt running late for school. I want to make sure I get there early so I can meet this "new stundent" Erin had messaged me about.
Throwing on sweat pants and twisting my messy long hair into a bun on top of my head, I hurried towards the car to get to school as fast as possible.
Pulling into the parking lot of school I see my best friend Erin waiting for me outside and she was pointing towards the front of the school entrance with a massive grin on her face.
My heart skipped and my breathe caught in my throat. Ive seen him before. But from where?
