After all that happened today I couldn't sleep, Jada's dead face tortured my dreams. Tonight was going to be a long night, fortunately, I was given a dorm to myself! The unfortunate part is that Drake's was next door. I laid on my back staring at the ceiling, my eyes following every turn the fan made and my mind slowly drifting off, but my eyes were refusing to shut. The scene went blank, I was finally asleep.

"Hey Drakey-Drake-Drake" Jada said, portraying the widest grin. I rubbed my eyes. "It's not a dream stupid" I rubbed again putting force into it this time. Jada's smile vanished as slapped my hand away "Stop!". Her smile returned,

"You know after me dying and all, I thought you'd be hugging me not trying to rub your eyes out"

I blankly stared at her for a full two minutes, "That's the problem. You died. Jada"

She wiped her forehead "Oh God, I thought for a minute that boyfriend of yours ripped out your tongue already" She twirled. "And do I look dead?"

Honestly, she really didn't. She had her same light brown complexion and her dark black hair matching her eyes. Maybe she wasn't dead, maybe I panicked and assumed just cause of her condition and my body reacted to my mind's judgement.

"That's not the point! ! Died being the state of permanently being asleep! Yeah, that was-is you" I snapped. I wasn't letting myself be fooled so easily.

"Suit yourself" she shrugged. "Thanks for visiting though"

Jada bowed and ran off before I could've replied she disappeared, and a familiar sting grazed my cheek. I rose up instantly. Drake. Caine and Diana were now standing around my bed.

"Stop doing that" I rubbed my cheek

"Where did you go?" Caine asked with a stern tone, his eyes portraying no other emotion but anger

"What are you talking about? I was and still am, in my bed"

Caine raised his hand. An invisible force threw my head back and was suddenly pressing against me, squeezing the air out of my lungs slowly.

"You did something. When I sent Drake to come in to get you, he said you were floating a feet from you bed, your eyes were open and you lay in a still position almost dead, just that you weren't, you breathed. I didn't believe it at first, then I came in and saw you myself and th-"

"You don't expect her to answer you when you're squeezing the air out of her do you?" Diana interrupted.

He glared at her then let his hands surrender by his side.

Inhaling air deeply I responded: "So what makes you think I went somewhere. As for the eyes-opened-floating-sleeping thing, I saw nothing but darkness and Jada"

"Jada?" Diana asked

"Jada." I said, mocking TFIOS. God I hated that movie.

"Whose Jada?" Caine asked annoyed

"The girl who died beside me in the car"

Everyone fell silent.

"You talked to a dead person?" Diana laughed at how stupid Caine sounded asking it

I shrugged,"She said she wasn't dead. I believed her"

Caine exchanged glances at Diana, It was like if they were speaking in codes cause Diana came up to me, held my hand and concentrated.

"She's a five and a half. This is a first. Think we'll need a bigger scale?" she said looking back at Caine

His eyes widened. His expression became blank. I could tell he was hiding his fear after all the 'Fearless leader' has to keep his heads on.

"What do you think is her power" Drake spoke up

Power? Five and a half? I wanted to speak against their ridiculous accusations and claims but I didn't have the guts. Though I'm living in a hellhole, my life is rather precious to me and I'd like to keep it for as long as I could hold.

"Maybe she can contact the dead" Diana said.

That'd done it. I laughed uncontrollably before I asked: "What?"

All eyes focused on me. I'm dead

Before Caine could open his mouth to question my sanity a loud scream came from outside. Drake was the first out the door, Caine followed after then shortly after, Diana. Not me. I saw this as a chance to run. Run far. Far. Far away from here. Jumping out of the bed and my sleep, I ran, stopping at the entrance of the door, looking left to right, then continuing. My feet ran as fast as they could, I concentrated on how I breathed, inhaling from my nose and exhaling through the mouth. Coates is a huge school. Running through these corridors are similar to those of a maze.. if you don't know where you're going that is. Fortunately, for me, Caine only ever led me from the school's entrance to my room and back, it was a path I was warned not to memorized. But I did anyway. Not like I could help my ability to memorize at first sight.

HOME FREE. I thought as I bolted out the entrance of Coates Academy. With my hands rested on my knees breathing heavily, I began again. Speeding down the highway.

"Haha!" I said aloud as I found an old truck at the side of the road. Without hesitation I entered, started and drove off in full speed.
