Chapter 2: The Dream
Jason walked to Edward, followed by his other friend, Pierre. Jason was tall and well built, while Pierre was tall too, but very skinny. Jason and Pierre were going to tell Edward, Hollie, and her friends aboutsomething they wanted to do this weekend. And they wanted to tell them NOW.
"Edward!" Jason's voice was deep and he loved himself for it. But he knew he didn't stand a chance with girls when Edward and Pierre were with him.
Edward turned, and his black hair swirled around his face. His hair was so perfect; he didn't even need a hair straitener like Jason did. And that, thought Jason, is what creeps me out.
-J-
Edward woke with a start. 3:00 in the morning. He checked his calendar. October 29, the first day of school. Who was this girl in his dreams? A goddess? Nope. She said her name was……um……Hollie! He got up and wore exactly what he saw in his dreams….weird. The party showed up in the dreams too.
"Good Morning, Edward" Mr. Tealeaf said as Edward entered the classroom.
"Hello, Mr. Tealeaf" Edward mumbled some more as Mr. Tealeaf said five minutes to talk while he prepares. Then after the five minutes, he said "Just talk for the period. It's the first day of school, anyway"
Edward leaned back. Then someone sitting next to him moved. When he looked over, he was in shocked. The girl from his dreams was there, listening to her I-pod. He leaned over and asked for her name, and she just stared. A look of shock, then anger, then something else……sorrow passed through her face. What was wrong with this girl? What was wrong with him? What is with this world and tormenting him?
-L-
At lunch, Edward sat alone. He didn't feel like sitting with anyone. What went on in class? Well, he needs to keep his mouth shut about the dream. That much, he knew not to do.
A cold finger disturbed his thoughts, but not the cold finger in the dream. This one actually felt like a finger this time. When Edward realized he didn't recognize this hand, he turned. It was one of her friends: Beth. Beth had darker eyes than Edward's. That scared him. Her eyes were more like a black void than regular human eyes. She had long, dark brown hair, which was pulled into two, loose pigtails. Her skin was white, too. Just like Hollie and Sofia. Kind of 'albino' white.
"What are you staring at?" Edward sounded mean, but the look on her face was still the same. Weird.
"Nothing. You're Edward. Right? Edward Willowshire?"
"Yes. And you are?"
"Elizabeth Muller...Beth, if you please."
"Hello."
"Hello. May I sit with you, Edward?"
"Uh, okay? Hey, are you feeling alright?" Edward was shocked when Beth sat and looked really happy. Too happy. This was definitely not like the dream at all.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"You're so cool! I wish I had friends like you!"
"Um, okay. I'll be your friend if you want! We can even camp out in the yard! But bring your own tent."
"Okay!" Beth was giddy now. Super Hyper.
Edward smiled. Of all the new friends he could have met, he met Beth.
"I mean, sure. I'll come over"
"Cool. Now I've got to go. I've got Trig in three minutes."
"Bye, Edward"
"See you, Brooke"
-J-
How the world was tormenting him! Not only was he late for Trig, he had to sit by her again! But this time, she didn't look sad, she looked aggravated. She ignored him coming in, so he just sat down without making an entrance. There was no need for one today.
