Chapter 4: Day 1

(Mary's POV)

Well, I didn't see Luce in homeroom the next day because the next day was Saturday. She always had forgotten after 5 horrible, miserable days in school, the weekend came; she wasn't all that bright.

I headed off to work at Barnes and Noble in my Chevy truck I got for my sweet 16; it was a family gift, along with my iPod, but we won't go into details. Anyway, I turned the local country radio station on without thinking twice and I hear all of this static and, what appeared to be voices. I didn't think much of it until I turned to other stations and heard the same thing on all of the stations. It freaked me out so I grabbed my iPod and listened to all the songs on there. Not the greatest way to run the battery low, that's for work, but it was better than not hearing anything.

I met up with Solina, a co-worker that I share jobs with, and we started sorting out the things. First, it was books but we were moved to music after a few minutes. It was the greatest. We criticized multiple soundtracks and we made it to the Dracula 2000 soundtrack and laughed our butts off!

"Gerry is so fine in that movie!" I was laughing and then, I saw this ladder standing up strait and it seemed to materialize out of nowhere.

"Hey, Solina! Check out that stepladder. It's so weird," I go to step around it and look at it in amazement while Solina is looking at me like I'm crazy.

"What are you talking about, Mare? Have you watched The Ring a few too many times?" she shrugged it off and I started to walk away, not helping but thinking of what I had seen. I would call Jay later and see what was going on. Samara was a weird girl.

(Samara's POV)

That Mary girl is a very...different character that I have on my "To-Kill" list. It's like she knows about me! Like everyone else does. Humans are very strange and foreign creatures to me.

She seems to be fascinated with the standing ladder. That's one of my simple tricks. It was hilarious seeing her friends face when she didn't see it. I bewilder so many people.

(Mary's POV)

I got off a little early that day due to the fact that my fellow work mates thought I was losing it when I saw multiple things they didn't. Then, when I was walking out of the store, Jay was there. I thought nothing of it...excuse me, him until he gave me a shove. I walked past him.

"So, you're seeing the things she's showing," I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to him. "It's normal. We've all seen them."

"Whose 'we?'" I get this confused look on my face and walk closer to him.

"The group. You're part of them now. It's all of the people who have seen the movie. The objects she shows you is the first part of your 7 day death row," he smiled and laughed off the guilt he held; he showed the girl of his dreams the video to save his butt! Smooth move, IDIOT! "Sorry,"

"I have to go," which I did but it was me and my shadow. Damn the bad luck!

"Hey, Mare, do you want to do dinner sometime?" Yeah right, jerk! But, know that I think about it, he's so cute. And those eyes...you could sink in the icy blue they contain and never escape.

I start to blush and speak shyly, "I'd love to. You have my number." You would not believe guys have this...it's like a girly squeal when they get a date from the dream-boy. I don't know what they address it though. I'll ask.

Things To Do Before I Die

Go on a date with Jay

Get a kiss from him (hopefully make-out( hee-hee )
