Chapter 3
Creak.
My eyes popped open. They darted through the blackness towards the tent flap. I would sware on his paranoia to the Warden right now that the stoop had creaked under the weight of a person… axe murderer… no stop thinking that!
I bit his tongue and closed my eyes. The voices in the back of my head spoke up again. Nothing is there! Its probably just a lizard. With… yellow spots… a YELLOW SPOTTED lizard! Poisonous! Oh my god, run! WAIT stop. There are NO poisonous lizards. Just stop. It was only a rattlesnake getting rady to jump out and bite y-
AHH! i jumped out of his cot, scaring myself to death. i have to stop listening to those voices! They were his paranoia kicking up again. They always scared him halfway out of his mind. He was really paranoid—acutely paranoid. He took a deep breath and looked around, still standing. He glanced around at the other guys-Zero, Armpit, Squid, Magnet, and Caveman. Good. They were still asleep, Magnet softly snoring and Armpit breathing heavily. X-Ray stirred once, but ZigZag hadn't woke anyone up. He gulped and sat back down on his musty-smelling cot, breathing through his mouth, trying to fall asleep. He was having rotten luck, though. Just like the rest of the week. It was the dreams. For a week now, ever since he thought of Kelsey Millen that one lone time, he couldn't stop. He even thought about her in dreams. In my dreams, I would always wake up to find 3 or so prick marks on my hand, dried with small dots of blood. Then I would run outside and watch a yellow school bus drive by. I saw a black-haired head with glasses sitting in the middle, handcuffed, and I would always start running down the road after it. They were really kind of strange. I had yet to figure them out. He secretly smiled to himself as I remembered another sacred day in my head, the weird dreams at the back of my head.
*Flashback* (8th grade)
I nervously ran my fingers through my hair. It was now fully on end, with my growing anticipation. I gripped the rose tighter behind my back. I gulped, out of thirteen years of habit, one last time before raising a shaking hand to ring the doorbell. I mustered enough courage to press my finger down quickly on the pearly button, hearing a soft tune playing from the bell box inside Kelsey Millen's luxurious home. I heard faint footsteps a second later, and suddenly the door flew open, Kelsey standing there. My eyes widened and breathing faltered. Kelsey's blue eyes peered up at me, she had to look up a great much to stare me in the eye, and poured into me with surprise bursting from eyelid to eyelid. She looked a little confused-not to mention more beautiful than ever. Her two black braids were brushing the waistband of her purple shorts, and tufts of stray hairs were bubbling through the braids around her ears. Her glasses were crooked and resting on eh tip of her nose, and her white sweatshirt had a few holes in it. I hurriedly tore my eyes off of her and peered at my feet like they were the most interesting thing in the world. I stammered a bit, but no real words came out. Kelsey just stared back, lips pursed like she was wasting her time, but I did realize that her left cheek right below her eye would twitch every once ina while, just like it did when Keith Barringer, the most swooned-over boy in the John Adamson Middle School's 8th grade classes, talked to her. He seemed to flutter everyone's heart. I was just about to speak when I heard the TV volume decrease and a voice penetrate the silence.
"Kelss!" It called. "Is it Keith? OO let me come!" it squealed, followed by several giggles, and 5 girls appeared at the front door. Kelsey's eyes widened in fear and she stepped back. I choked on my own spittle.
The same girl snarled her upper lip. "What are you doing here, Retard Ricky?"
"Yeah weirdo!"
"Get lost freak!"
"hahah"
"What a loser…"
Kelsey stuttered. "Guys, Ricky is um, dropping off Rufus's new-medicine," She lied flawlessly, picking up her small kitten from the ground, showing it to her wide-eyed friends. She swallowed. "His mom is Rufus's vet, and he has a slight-cold."
She nodded my way and I shook my head yes. The girls seemed yet unsatisfied.
The same annoying one spoke again. She rolled her eyes. "Come on guys, lets just go watch TV and leave the freaks alone," she commanded, being followed.
Kelsey was obviously very uncomfortable now. She looked up at my and started to inch the door closed. "Um I have to you know-go so um," she stuttered.
I gaped. I snapped out of my trance. "Uh yeah, sure," My blood was boiling. Loser? Freak? Weirdo? I had heard these before but they meant so much more hurt when Kelsey made no attempt to stop it. I guess I was just too caught up in my feelings for her that I didn't even narrow down the chances of her even beginning to like me. I felt hot in the face. I couldn't take it anymore. I raised my arm, Kelsey shrinking back. I threw the rose down on her porch without a word and ran.
*End*
I brushed away a stray tear. I ran my fingers over 4 light brown dts on my left hand. I never realized how hard I was gripping that rose. The thorns had cut my fingers-it snapped. It all clicked! The dreams! The marks on my hands were the thorns from that rose, and Kelsey was on the bus! It was official. I had to go and find her.
*!*
