The Watchers
Chapter 1: Headache
The constant pounding from my forehead was unbearable. It was the only thing I could hear. Pound, Pound, Pound. I groaned and placed my hands on either side of my head. Pound, Pound, Pound. I tried to control myself from screaming by sighing softly.
"Another headache, Raine?" Jana asked. I looked up and glared at her. That's when I noticed something different about her. Again. Oh. My. Gosh.
"Another hair color, Jana?" I challenged. Jana and I are best friends. We became friends in Kindergarden when I told her I liked her hair. Sometimes though, I think how the heck we became friends. We are so different. Jana has the strangest taste in fashion, and she usually changes her hair color monthly. Today, she was wearing a neon yellow jacket with neon purple skinny jeans, also her favorite shoes: knee high Converse with skulls all over them. I was just wearing my Paramore shirt, a Roxy sweatshirt, jeans, and my black Vans. But that's what I wasn't looking at. I was looking at her new hair color: Bright red with purple highlights.
Jana look suddenly concerned. "Is it too bright?" I looked at her hair again and sighed. I can think of more important things right now.
"No, it's perfect for you." I told her. I was a pretty good liar. I've always been. Jana looked convinced.
"I know! I love it!" She said while hugging her new hair. She sat down next to me and looked worried. "Hey, about your headache," she started. I glanced up to look at her. "maybe you should see a doctor or something?" I groaned.
"I did see a doctor. Two months ago! She said that'll go away soon!" I complained. Stupid doctors. Shouldn't they know when a headache goes away? Jana rolled her eyes.
"Raine, that was two months ago! Go see another one!" Jana yelled at me. I hated it when she yells at me. I feel like I'm a child.
"There is no way I'm going to see another doctor! I hate them! You should've seen the faces they gave me when I told them I had a simple headache! They looked at me like I was a special freak or something! Do you really want me to face that again?" I told her. That's when I noticed she wasn't looking at me anymore. Instead, she was looking behind my shoulder. In fact, everyone was looking toward the cafeteria door. I turned my head so that I was now looking that way too.
They were coming.
