On monday morning, when the sound of my alarm clock, bounced between the four walls of my room, I was already awake and had been for the last three hours. I was just too tense to sleep and had ended up reading half the night, hoping that somehow it would help me relax but it didn't work. I got up and walked over to the bathroom accross the hall. I put my hair up in a messy, high bun and stripped out of my clothes before stepping into the shower and turning on the water.

I took my time in the shower, enjoying the feeling of warm water trickle onto my shoulders and along my back. After twenty minutes I had to force myself to step out and get ready for school. Walking over to my closet, I grabbed a pair of dark-blue jeans and a white blouse and put it on. I put on a little mascara before grabbing my bag and walking downstairs. My dad was already sitting in the kitchen, sipping on his coffee and looking through some papers. He worked as a teacher at the middle school, so it was probably homeworks or student evaluations. "Good morning, sweetheart."

"Good morning, dad." I greeted while pouring down milk and cereals into a bowl. Grabbing a spoon, I sat accross from my dad who were still staring down at his papers.

"So, are you looking forward to your last week of school."

"Yeah I suppose so. Summer vacation sounds pretty good, I just wish I could be at the end of senior year already."

He looked up from his paper, amused. "You will be, soon enough."

I frowned. "Dad. I still have two years left."

"Well, time flies by when you're having fun."

"And if you're not having fun?" I challenged.

"Then you make it fun." He stated knowingly, causing me to laugh.

"See?" He smiled at me before getting up and walking over to the sink. He poured out the rest of the coffee and put the cup down. "I need to get going, or I'll be late. Do you want to ride with me to school?"

"No, that's okay, I'll take my car."

"Alright." He kissed my forehead before heading for the front door. "Have a nice day and I'll see you this afternoon."

"You too!" I called.

After eating my breakfast, I put on my black coat and grabbed the car keys as I walked out the door. While walking over to my car, I spotted Bella coming out of her front door and walking over to Edward's silver volvo, which was parked outside of their house. I smiled and waved politely, when she spotted me as well. She waved back before getting inside the fancy car.

I got in my own car and pushed the key into the the ignition and let the engine come to life. Backing out of the driveway, I put on the radio just as "Just the way you are" with Bruno Mars started playing. While singing along to the song, I switched into first gear and then to second gear as I drove along the street.

At school:

Fiddling with my pencil, I listened to Mr. Farber as he went through the civil war – At least I was trying to listen. I had caught myself thinking about everything else and had to force myself to concentrate on what my teacher was saying. Looking at the clock, my mood brightened as the end of the lesson were drawing near. In about five minutes I would finally get something to eat. I was so hungry and maybe, the food would bring me some extra energy. I needed it badly.

When the bell finally rang, I was the first one to sprint out of the door. I met Kaitlyn on my way to the cafeteria and as we stood in line, we talked about our latest lessons. After we had picked our food, we sat down at a table in the upper corner of the cafeteria and we were soon joined by Jill and her boyfriend Owen.

As we talked and laughed, I began to feel the familiar warmth that I had felt two days ago, spreading from my toes and up my body. I tensed up and a feeling of panick sparked inside of me; No, no, no, not again. I tried to push it away but of course, it was futile. Within the next seconds, the throbbing pain had started and I groaned as I positioned my elbows on top of the table, putting my head in my hands."What's wrong?" Kaitlyn asked from my right.

I looked up, only to realize that I couldn't see my friends anymore – I couldn't see anything, only darkness. The feeling of something pressing inside my head came back, but now, the worst of the pressure was against my optic nerve. I could feel my eyeballs vibrate by the force of it. As my attack continued and even got worse, I bit down on my lips hard, so I wouldn't cry out. Soon, the taste of blood filled my mouth but I kept on biting down. I didn't want people around me to know what was going on with me but it was too late for three people.

My friends kept on repeating my name and asking what was happening. I couldn't answer them and even if I could, I didn't have any explanation. The first time, I told myself that it was just a very bad migraine but now, I had no idea what it was. I tried to take deep breaths to stabilize my rapid heartbeat and soon I could feel my body starting to slowly soothe down. The aching pain in my head eased up along with the pressure. My sight was the last thing to come back. I looked up and instinctivily blinked, my eyes readapting to the light.

Three pair of startled eyes stared at me, not sure of what had just happened. I sat up straighter on the wooden chair, looking around the cafeteria but no one else seemed to have noticed. I felt a hand on my arm, it belonged to my best friend. "Are you okay, Mila?"

"Yes, I'm fine now. Just a migraine." I lied. Kaitlyn opened her mouth to say something else but I beat her to it. "I need to go to the bathroom." I excused myself and rose from my seat, heading out of the cafeteria. I could feel their eyes on me, following my every step till I rounded the corner, slipping out of their field of vision.

I was relieved when I saw that I was alone in the bathroom. I let my bag drop to the ground as I turned on the water and splashed it on my face. I looked up and met my own reflection in the mirror. My lower lip was a bright red and you could faintly distinguish the bite marks from my teeth. My hands were still trembling slightly as I balled them into fists. "What is happening to me?" I choked out as tears started to form and threatened to spill.

These attacks weren't normal and I began to suspect that they had a connection to my visions. It was the unknown that scared me the most. I was desperate for some answers. I had spent the entire Sunday searching on the internet but most of it was purely fiction. There was nothing that I could relate to, nothing that reminded of the things that I have seen and experienced.

I wiped off the few tears that had escaped down my cheeks as I heard the school bell ring and took a deep breath to calm down a bit before heading out of the bathroom and towards my next class.

End of school day:

At the end of the school day, the heap of students rushed outside, including me. I walked down the stairs and when I looked up, there he was, Jacob. He was standing by the parking lot, looking around like he was searching for someone, Bella probably. For a moment I stopped and admired him, the silky look of his short black hair, the intensity in his dark eyes and how his huge muscles flexed when he folded his arms. He was beautiful and enchanting, filling me with curiosity and a will to know more about him. I was clearly not the only one being attracted to the tall, proud-looking stranger. Most girls walking passed him stole quick glances of him, before turning back to their friends with a giggle. Of course, he didn't take notice of any of them as he continued to scan the crowd for my neighbor.

"Mila!"

I jumped at the sound of my name being called from behind me and at the same time, Jacob jerked his head towards me and his eyes met mine. I offered a smile and waved once, trying not to look embarrassed over the fact that he had once again caught me staring. I don't know what kind of greeting I was expecting but I felt slightly disappointed when he gave me a ghost of a smile, so small you could barely see it, before turning his gaze away from me.

I turned around and greeted my best friend as she walked up to me, a questioning look on her face. "Who were you waving to?"

Looking back to were Jacob had been standing, I noticed he was nowhere to be seen. "It was just a boy that I met on my way home from work."

"Ooh! What's his name? Is he hot? Does he go to our school?"

I rolled my eyes, amused of her eagerness. "His name is Jacob. I think he lives in La Push and yes, he's very good looking."

"I'd really like to see some pictures!"

"Yeah sure, you want an autograph with that as well?" I replied sarcastically.

"Yes, please."

I shook my head, laughing. Soon, Kaitlyn chimed in as well.

"So, what are you up to now?" She asked me.

"I actually have to get home, it's my time cooking dinner. But maybe tomorrow we can grab a bite to eat at the diner, after I get off work?"

"Yeah, that sounds great... Hey!" She stopped me from leaving. "Is everything okay with you? I mean, you would tell me if there was something bothering you, right?"

I swallowed, the caring look in her eyes making me feel like such a horrible person and the fact that she didn't really push the matter, even though I knew that she had picked up on my secretively behavior. Especially after what had happened today in the cafeteria. I held back the urge to tell my best friend everything, I wanted to at least know something more about it. So for the second time on the same day, I did something I never should have done before all of this started. I lied to my best friend.

"Of course."
