Note: This is my VERY FIRST story… please be nice :{
"Wake up please….just… just open your eyes…"
What a sad voice…is she talking to me…?
……………
BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Ugh…shut up already I'm awake…"
Allen Walker rolled over, reaching out to his desk to turn off his rather obnoxious alarm…
"Ugh…" he groaned, "It's 6:30 already? Damn…" Allen swung his legs out of bed and paused, "That dream again huh?"
Allen turned to the window beside his bed, pushing it open, he watched the morning birds fly past.
I wonder what it means…that dream…I mean, I've been having the same one almost every night for two weeks…it must be significant…should I tell..? No…they'll laugh at me… I'm being ridiculous…dreams aren't real, that's why they're called dreams! But still…that girl…she sounded so sad…. I don't even know if she was talking to me…Oh well, a dream is a dream…It's probably best if I don't think about it…
Allen pushed away from the window and glanced at his clock, 6:40…. "Oh shit…" he whispered.
BANG.
Allen jumped violently and tumbled off the bed as his bedroom door burst open, a girl with long brown hair stood in his doorway looking rather irritated.
"What the HELL Allen? You're still not awake? I swear, if we're late again because of you, you are WALKING home today!" she roared at the bundle of blankets on the floor.
"I get it, I get it! I'm up okay? I don't take as long as you to get ready, relax okay?" Allen said as he pushed the blanket off his head.
"Whatever, as long as we get there on time… If you're not ready and downstairs before 7 we're leaving without you!"
"And what makes you think Leo will be ready by then?"
"Leo has a presentation today, he was up before me! So you better hurry if you don't want to walk TO school as well."
"Alexis," a voice called up the stairs, "leave your brother alone, it takes more time for you to yell at him than it does for him to get ready, now come downstairs and have breakfast."
Allen stuck his tongue out at Alexis and grinned.
"Real mature Allen, real mature… Coming mom!" Alexis shot one last dirty look at Allen before shutting the door and disappearing down the stairs.
Allen smiled in spite of himself; he loved his brother and sister very much even though they picked on him to no end. Alexis and Leopold were fraternal twins three years older than Allen, making Allen the baby of the family, which he was frequently treated as despite his age of fourteen.
Allen sighed, and reached into his closet to throw on whatever touched his hands first. Allen wasn't really into fashion, or matching for that matter, that was Alexis' department. She often sent Allen back to change in the morning if his outfit did not meet her standards. However seeing as they were already late today, she was just going to have to deal with whatever Allen put on. Grinning, Allen pulled out a horrible combination of an orange and teal checkered sweater and khaki shorts.
Allen tugged a comb through his messy light brown hair a few times before deciding that bed head would piss Alexis off even more, and setting his comb down he grabbed his backpack off the floor and charged downstairs.
"OH MY GOD ALLEN WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" Alexis cried as Allen entered the kitchen.
"Alexis, watch your mouth…Allen dear, why are you dressed like that?" Allen's mother walked over to him and attempted to comb his hair with her fingers.
"MOM! You CAN'T expect me to go to school with him looking like that! You're doing this on purpose aren't you Allen! Mom, do something!" Alexis whined.
"Allen love, please go put something else on…"
Allen glanced over at Leo sitting at the table and grinned. Leo grinned back over his glass of orange juice and gave him a thumbs up. Allen made a face at Alexis before running upstairs and swapping his sweater for a plain white T-shirt and his khaki shorts for dark blue jeans. He ran downstairs past the kitchen, towards the front door and began pulling on his sneakers.
"Allen! You are NOT going to school without breakfast!" His mother reprimanded, as she walked over to him with two pieces of toast. "Here at least eat this, you don't have lunch until 7th period right?"
"Thanks mom." Allen said as he quickly hugged his mother, grabbed his bag and ran out into the garage and hopped into the backseat of the black car. Leo walked out of the house and slid into the driver's seat, while Alexis climbed into the passenger seat.
The drive to school was usually uneventful. Allen absently looked out the backseat window at the trees flashing past. As the minutes passed, Allen began to feel drowsy, and his eyes drooped. The ride wasn't a long one, but Allen hadn't gone to sleep until very late the night before. Being the procrastinator he is, Allen left his homework until the last minute when he had to scramble to finish it before going to bed.
He listened as Leo drummed his fingers on the steering wheel in time with the music on the radio, and slowly closed his eyes…
"Allen! Wake up! We're at school! How did you fall asleep so quickly?" Leo poked Allen awake.
"Mmh..?" Allen yawned and methodically picked up his backpack and trudged off to class.
"Allen!" He stopped and turned, Alexis was waving to him, "I love you Allen!" she called.
Allen blinked and waved in acknowledgement before disappearing through the front doors.
"Lexi you are such a sappy chick…" Leo commented on his sister's behavior.
"Shut up Leo. Allen's still a baby!"
"No he's not, he's fourteen! That's not a baby."
Lexi grinned and elbowed her twin in the side before sprinting ahead of him to class. "Its presentation time Leo!" she called over her shoulder.
Leo rolled his eyes and followed her down the hall.
"Allen Walker, I'd highly appreciate it if you would pay attention?"
Allen jumped and turned to see the teacher standing before his desk, he smiled apologetically and nodded. "I'm sorry Mrs. Smithson…" Mrs. Smithson raised an eyebrow before turning back to the chalkboard and continuing the lesson.
"Geez Allen, what's with you today? You seem so out of it.." whispered the black haired boy sitting next to Allen.
"I know I know, sorry Jack, I…didn't get much sleep last night…" replied Allen.
"You don't have to say sorry to me, it's not like we learn anything in this class anyway…You'd probably still have an A if you skipped every class…"
Jack was Allen's close friend since the start of middle school, they had almost every class together and lived in the same neighborhood. Allen smiled and looked down at his notes, and began to copy what he missed the teacher saying. In truth, it wasn't just the fact that Allen didn't sleep much last night, he was also thinking about his dream. The only thing he could remember about it each morning was the girl's voice. He knew there was more to it, but it just slipped out of his grasp as soon as he opened his eyes. Allen scrunched up his face in an effort to remember the details of his dream, but only succeeded in getting a 'what are you doing?' look from Jack. Allen frowned to himself… "I guess there's nothing more to do about it…I'll try to remember better tonight..." he thought as he turned his attention back to Mrs. Smithson's lesson.
Little did Allen know, but this dream would turn his life upside down in a way he couldn't imagine…
Note: Once again, this is my FIRST…so uh… let me know if I've done something wrong... and I hope you like ;]
