Chapter One
Maiana awoke to her alarm, slamming her hand down on the clock to stop the-oh-so-hated shrilling. Lying in bed trying to understand what was just happening in her head, she rolls over on her side knowing that she has to get up but not wanting to; because that meant school. Opening her eyes to look at her clock as a sudden rush of energy bounds her off the bed and an echo of "damn" rings through her room; 7:00 am. Running around her room and throwing on anything she could find, thankful that her 1st period class was homeroom and that she only lived two blocks away from school; the only time she stopped was to look in the mirror.
She did this every morning, as always, thinking that maybe she could have changed overnight but no she was still herself. With her brownish-ginger mid-back hair, dark brown eyes, light tan skin, and just like always since she could remember, the birth mark; that weird little mark that she didn't like showing people on the back of her neck. She chuckled as she remember when she was younger, she use to think it looked like a hat with rabbit ears on it. Shaking her head as she grabbed her bag and ran out the house, down the street to the large brown boring building.
The teacher was turned away from the door as Maiana tip-toed in to the classroom, "late again Maiana" Mrs. Rose said with her back still turned. Maiana just continued with her head down to her seat next to her friend Amy. Amy stopped reading her book to look up at Maiana "how you are not kicked out of school yet? You're been late every day since per-k." "I know," Maiana replied "I can't help it; it just always happens." Amy shook her head at her friend "damn I bet you were even born late." Her eyes went wide and wished she didn't "Maiana, I…I'm sorry…I didn't..." "It's ok." Maiana waved her hands lightly. She didn't really care about the whole family thing, actually no family at all thing. Maiana live alone but only thanks to the head miss of the school, taking her out of the orphanage and helping her into a little house apartment.
"I really didn't mean to say that" Amy almost begging "its ok, it's fine" Maiana knew that this was going to go on the whole day if she didn't change the subject. "I had the weirdest dream last night" Maiana said the magic words that cause Amy to drop whatever she was doing. Amy loved the whole dream scene, wanting to go into the study of them. "Really?!" Taking out her pen and a small journal the next thing that came out of Amy's mouth was "so tell me about it."
After telling Amy everything about her dream, Maiana watched as Amy stayed there with her eyes and her mouth wide open; he look of still trying to comprehend what she heard was making her brain freeze. "What the hell kind of dream is that?" Amy said loudly, "shh" Mrs. Rose and Maiana said together. "I told you it was a weird dream," Maiana said quietly "and I thought you were the master of dreams?" "not that weird and I am but I think I met my match." Amy rubbed her head with a laugh "girl, you're going to be the death of me." The bell rang and everyone went on to their next classes, everything was usual until English.
"Alright everyone sit down and get ready for the ride." Said Mr. Austin. Mr. Austin was Maiana's favorite teacher though English was not her best subject, but still Mr. Austin made it fun; made it almost come to life. No matter what book it was he would dress up or make the food, whatever it was every student in the class would leave laughing. "Ok students we are going to start a new book today." Just than the door flow open and Maiana suddenly became uncomfortable; she looked up and saw him.
