Fire

Burning

Everywhere

Tony DiNozzo woke with a yell, opening his eyes to see everyone in his 5th period calculus class staring at him. As he unstuck his face from his paper, the laughter started.

Damn. I must look like an idiot.

To make things even worse, his teacher was looking at him with wrath in her eyes.

Mrs. Steinruck. She's 67 years old, way past the age she should have retired (in his opinion at least) and she hated him. She had written him up three times this year for sleeping in class.

"Mr. DiNozzo! Would you like to explain to the class what you were dreaming about for the last hour that made you grunt and scream like a wild animal?"

Silence

Fuck.

"On the other hand you can just take this up to the office and you can catch up on your sleep there." Mrs. Steinruck said as she stuck a referral slip in his face.

"Well yes Ma'am!"

Tony said with a mock salute and a cocky grin.

He gathered his things off his desk and sauntered towards the door, gaining a few stray looks from the young women of the class. He winked at the blonde one with the low cut shirt and opened the door. As the thought went through his head that he had gotten through that ordeal relatively unscathed, Mrs. Steinruck called his name.

"Oh and Tony, I'm going to need to see you after class tomorrow to discuss your punishment. With your parents."

Fuck it all to hell.

He didn't even bother going to the office. There was no point. They would just send him out ten minutes later. No, he just went to his car, sat there, and thought. He thought about the dreams he'd been having the past month. They were vivid dreams of fire and burning. But strangely enough, they didn't scare him. They were almost comforting when he was under stress. It wasn't the dreams he had a problem with. It was the fact that when he woke up he was just as tired as when he went to bed. He was being starved of sleep and it was affecting his life. He didn't know what to do. His whole life was falling apart. He was arguing with Shannon and Jethro everyday because of his failing calculus grade. But it wasn't just the dreams. It was the feelings that came with them. Like something lurking just under his skin when he got angry. He could barely control it. And he knew sooner or later it would come out and destroy his whole life.
