Sixth Sense
A storm was coming. I could just tell. A crackle of thunder rumbled through the valley to prove it. As the wind picked up and scattered the leaves in the front lawn, I knew it was time to head inside before I was caught in the rain. I stood up from under the shadow of the oak tree and shoved my hand out of the little cover it gave me.
"Drat." I whispered the word to myself. It was already raining. If the moisture on my hand didn't give it away, the pitter-patter on the leaves above did. I crossed the lawn as fast as my little legs could take me. When I finally reached the front door, it swung open and hit me smack-dab on the face.
"Sami?" a voice of an angel cooed, "are you still out here? Mommy wants you to come inside."
"Alright Raina, thank you." I said pushing the door back slightly. I held my hand over my nose, it was bleeding from the impact, but I couldn't let my baby sister see me bleed. Or cry, even though the water was trying to spill over. I didn't wanna freak her out.
"Your welcome!" she said closing the door without another word. As much as I loved my little sister, she was kinda oblivious to things around her. I was pretty sure I was crying pretty hard now. I could feel the tears rolling down my face, or maybe that was just the loose rain dripping from my hair. I tilted my head straight back, forcing my bloody nose back into my body. I pinched the bridge of my nose and opened the door. I headed straight around the corner to the bathroom, not making eye contact with the people I knew were in the other room staring at me as I walked by. When I finally reached the bathroom, I started cleaning my face immediately with a rag. My face was finally clean when I looked back up at the mirror. My usually emerald eyes were a bit dull today and my light brown hair hung lifeless next to my shoulders. I hadn't been feeling well lately and you could tell from the pale color of my face. The feeling I had was not really a sick feeling, but more of a sixth sense per say. I felt as though something was going to happen to me, not in a bad way really, but more of a change. A big one. I pushed my wet bangs out of my face as I combed through my hair.
"Sami!" I heard my mother call, "phone for you."
"Ok." I said walking out of the bathroom and over to the phone. I picked it up and heard my mom hang up on her end. "Hello?" I asked, not really wanting to talk to anyone.
"Hey Sam-Sam," a familiar voice answered. It was Keily of course, probably wanting to hang out. "Wanna come over and hang with me?" I knew it.
"What time is it?" I asked finally. I just wanted it to be Saturday finally. Today was a hectic Friday at school.
"Um, it's about 10:30. Why? You ok, you sound kinda off…."
"I think I'm actually gonna go to sleep ok." I replied rubbing my eyes.
"Fine," Keily replied with a pouty tone in her voice, "but you better be over here tomorrow morning to watch SonicX with me. Got it?"
"Deal." I said humoring her. I just wanted to sleep." See ya tomorrow." I promised with a yawn.
"Ok." She said and then the line was dead. I hung up the phone, said good night to everyone, and dragged myself up the stairs. I was out before my head even hit the pillow.
