BROOKE'S POV

I finish rinsing out my mouth and then place my toothbrush back in the drawer. After switching off the hot overhead light, I silently step out of the bathroom, and swing shut the door.

Padding softly across the soft carpet to my room I begin to worry.

I mean, I had obviously thought about the whole swimming scenario tomorrow, but I guess just now I fully began to process what the new day would be bringing.

Since the chat with Brooke after PE, I had visited my regular specialist to try and get a health certificate to excuse me form sport in class for a few or more weeks.

Do you want to know what his response was? Well, in his very words, he looked at me from his wrinkly, bloodshot, evil old man eyes and said in a "therapeutic" voice: "Well, Miss Davis, I do understand that you are a little embarrassed about your huge scar, but you will have to deal with it eventually. And I firmly believe that now is as good a time as any for you to hop back into you're sporting activities. So no, I will not be granting you a certificate."

Asshole. I mean, honestly, who does he seriously think that he is? He just sits there in his crutty little chair all day in his musty old office, saying lovely inspiring things to patients like me such as: "HUGE SCAR" and other highly odd things like "your sporting activities." I mean, ME Brooke Davis doing any sport other than cheerleading? Not bloody likely.

So from that lovely little chat of ours, I have now come to the lovely conclusion that tomorrow will be hell, I will die and the entire world will go up in flames.

And goodness, doesn't that just make you look forward to tomorrow!?

"RINGGGGGGGGG-RINGGGGGGGGGG" Goes the hell call of my Alarm.

I raise one clumsy arm and it comes smashing down onto the snooze button.

88888888888

"RINGGGGGGGGG-RINGGGGGGGGGG" Goes the alarm yet again. So I respond in the only way I know how.

SMASHHHHHH goes the damn thing as it's demolished into 1,000 pieces on the pavement four floors below my window.

Chuckling an evil laugh to myself, I crawl back into bed and fall back into slumber.

After being practically killed by Kate in order to get me up, I got dressed in a hurry, and grabbed my school bag which I filled with not only books, but also the dreaded Towel and Bikini (I decided that even if I have scarring and bruising, I should still look good). I grabbed a few pieces of toast and then ran out the front door and got into my gorgeous car.

I arrived at school three and a half minutes before the Second Bell went. After deciding that there was no time to pay a visit to my locker before class, I ran towards homeroom.

The Day had So far been pretty uneventful. I mean, there was that moment in homeroom when the retard Heather Knowles had a spaz attack at Mr. Taylor because he told her that the Chess club was closing due to the lack of student enthusiasm.

But now.... Well, now it's fourth Period which can only mean one thing:

It's Time for Gym.

I meet Haley just outside the doors of the indoor pool.

"Hey" she greets me "are you ready?"

Am I? I question myself. I mean, this will most defiantly be one hour filled with complete pure hell. Once the class is over, every single person in my class will know that there is something wrong with me. And trust me, in this school gossip sure travels fast. So I'm guessing that by the end of the day, not only will my class know, but the entire school will.

I look up at Haley's expectant face and force a smile onto my face. "Sure! Let's go"

And in the doors we walk.

Down in the depths of my fiery home

The summons bell will chime

Tempting you and all the earth

To join our sinful kind

There is a job to be done and I'm the one

You people make me do it

Now it is time for your fate and I won't hesitate

To pull you down into this pit

So come on

Jump in the Fire

So come on

Jump in the Fire

With hell in my eyes and with death in my veins

The end is closing in

Feeding on the minds of man

And from their souls within

My disciples all shout to search out

And they always shall obey

Follow me now my child not the meek or the mild

But do just as I say

So come on

Jump in the Fire

So come on

Jump in the Fire

Jump by your will or be taken by force

I'll get you either way

Trying to keep the hellfire lit

I am stalking you as prey

Living your life as me I am you you see

There is part of me in everyone

So reach down grab my hand walk with me through

The land

Come home where you belong

So come on

Jump in the Fire

So come on

Jump in the Fire

END OF CHAPTER

AN: Hello to everyone. Sorry that that chapter was a little shorter than the rest; I felt that it would be best to leave the pool scene until the next chapter so it could form nicer. The song in that chapter is called "Jump in the fire" and it's by Metallica.
