Chapter 4.
BlackLake was a full days drive from where I lived. I drive to the nearest hotel. I walk to the front desk with no bags. I get a room on the third floor and I flop onto the bed with a grin. "I am free!" I exclaim and burst out laughing. I get up and begin bouncing on the bed, letting my hair down from it's tight ponytail. After a good hour I flop onto the bed exhausted and instantly fall asleep.
Dream:
I am staring at a deep, sparkling blue ocean as I stand on a perfect beach. I frown deeply and look around, confused. "Where am I...?" I ask nobody in particular. I, of course, get no answer. I sigh and sit on the ground. I suddenly have that bad feeling, as if I was being watched. It makes me feel uncomfortable and I instantly look over my shoulder, confused. I see a crow, perched in a tree by a forests boundary. I frown deeper and glare at it but it glares back. I suddenly feel as if I am trapped there on the beach. A tear rolls down my cheek and I slowly begin to rock. I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my upper arm, exactly where my burn was. I look down and see a bullet wound there. I let out a loud, blood chilling scream and find a group of people dressed as if they were about to disable a bomb. I scramble to my feet and run to the water, only to find that it was not water at all but rather an odourless, colourless acid.
End:
I wake up screaming and sobbing. I curl up in a tight ball and continue to sob. I look at my arm and see no change to the burn. Thank the Goddess. I slowly calm myself and sigh. I hate night terrors. I cautiously get up from the bed, gazing around the small hotel room with slight fear in my expression. I walk to the bathroom and turn on the shower. As I waited for the water to heat up, I strip down, throwing my clothes onto the floor and shiver. I step into the shower and let the steaming water run down the length of my body, relaxing every tense spot in my muscles. I smiled and stayed that way for a few moments before taking a the shower gel and smearing it all over my body. I then rinse it all of with a grin. I grab the shampoo and massage it into my hair gently. A few minutes later I leave the shower and wrap myself in the short, hotel towels and I walk over to sit on the bed. I grab the hair dryer, quickly drying through my hair. I get changed into the same set of clothes as before and sigh. I check the time. The clock read, 11:43. 'No! I am late!' I think and run out of the room, with whatever things i had brought with me. I pay for the room and run to the car, quickly turning on the engine and driving off.
Same time next day.
I eventually arrive at my new home and I gaze at around in amazement. It looked even more beautiful in person. It had a large front garden and back,. The house itself was a light chocolate colour and it was quite small but perfect for me. I slowly got out of my car with an impressed grin on my pale face. I opened the black door that had a small silver mailbox and a big enough glass window on it. I walk inside slowly and my grin gets bigger and bigger as I examine the house.
A mere three weeks later, I had the entire house carefully decorated and I was enrolled for public school which I was to begin tomorrow. I had all my books, bag and clothes ready. I already felt the familiar flutter of butterflies in my stomach. I take a deep breath and head upstais to my bedroom.
The next morning I stood outside my first class, dressed in tight, skinny jeans, a long t shirt and I had a french hat on. I sigh out the breath I hadn't realised I was holding and step into the class room. It was filled with about ten girls and ten boys. My eyes gazed at two seats at the front left corner of the room. "Mine." I say under my breath with a grin and I slowly made way to the seat closest to the wall and placed my science books onto the table carefully. A guy with jet black hair, similar to mine, sat down next to me and instantly took out his own books but didn't say a word. I gazed at him with a confused expression.
"Hi." I say in a quiet voice.
"Hello." he responds. His voice was soft but had the slight crispness of an English accent.
I giggled slightly and looked at my book.
"You are new here." he stated.
I nodded. "My first day..."
"Cool." he shrugs.
We didn't say a word for the rest of the class and once the bell rang, I was up and out of the door before it even occurred to the rest of them. In the next forty five minutes class, I had not made even one friend and this fact hurt me more then I had imagined. At break, I sat at a table all alone. I nibbled at a bread stick I had brought as I read one of my favourite books. Suddenly I felt some one tap my shoulder and I tensed. I slowly turn around to face a a petit girl standing in front of me.
"May I sit here?" he asks in a quiet and she voice.
"Of course!" I say, beaming at her.
She blushes and gives a slight smile. She sat down and we looked at each other. She had light blonde hair and baby blue eyes. "Um...I am Julie...Julie Jackson..."
I grinned. "I am Sophia Blackwell." I say, using my alias.
Julie's face lit up. "Nice to meet you..." she says in the quiet voice. "How long have you been here?" she asks.
"About a week...but today is my first day in this school..."
Julie nods. "Where were you before this?"
"Florida." I say simply.
She giggled. "That is so cool!"
I shrug. "I guess..." I say as the bell rang. "I will see you at the next break Julie..." I say and leave for my next class. Eventually...I have a real friend.
