Chapter 6: The Race
School started up again. Life went on. My dreams turned sweet, I started forgetting everything that happened. I got close to everyone. I started talking again. My head didn't ache anymore, but things were strange. Mom became more distant from me. She stayed close with Andy though. No one but me noticed.
One day the principal held an assembly, the school was putting on an orienteering race. In the woods. Competing against different schools. Once she said it my head began to throb and ache. The scene changed into a forest scenery. I was lost, Nathaniel was with me. We walked through the woods and soon became tired. We sat and waited. Soon one by n the other groups joined us. I got up and said something to make them want to follow me and they did. I found a path a mile from that spot and led them to the finish line. I was ripped from this vision by Rosalya.
"Hello?! Wake up from your day dream and lets go it's time for lunch. I turns out the principal had chosen the few students who had to compete. Nathaniel because he was student body president, Amber and her friends and Castiel because they needed to participate in an after school activity. Melody and Iris because they were on the student council. Lysander for his numerous missing assignments that he lost and me, because I was the fastest runner in track, and the entire school. (Yay! Not really!)
We all met after school to talk. We decided to split into teams. Amber tried to pair with Castiel but Nataniel and Castiel both objected so she stayed with her two friends (Li and Charlotte). Melody and Iris joined up too. So I was stuck with either Nathaniel, Lysander or Castiel. A devilish smirk creeped onto my face.
"What?" Nathaniel asked slightly creeped out.
"I have an idea." I said
"I'll partner up with Lysander while you two…" I pointed to Nathaniel and Castiel.
"Be partners and be friends." Once I finished Nathaniel and Castiel started arguing between each other and me while I bursted out laughing.
I gave in and Castiel and Lysander joined up. I as with Nathaniel.
The day of the race I was nervous. I knew something would happen. not only did I get that vision but my nerves were on edge. We were the first there. I ran around taking to everyone while Nathaniel helped the other teams get ready. Then I saw him. A long haired blonde with a short ponytail. He wore the same gym outfits we did. We met that day I almost drowned on the beach. (I'll get you author because I didn't mention him rrrrg) He flirted with me until my brother came over and almost smacked the living hell out of him (literally).
"Oh no."he came over.
"Long time no see sweetie." he cooed. I felt like punching him but I resisted.
"Lets play a game!"I told him.
"You go hold your breath in the lake and I'll count to a million!" I proclaimed telling him to scat.
"I love when you play hard to get!" he told me putting an arm on my shoulders pulling me close in a side hug.
Nathaniel came out of nowhere.
"I'm I missing something?" he asked with a slight tone of jealousy.
"Oh, hi. Sorry I guess my girlfriend didn't tell you about me…" girlfriend?! NO FREAKIN' WAY!
I punched him. Hard. In the nose. He grabbed it.
"OW!" He yelled. Everyone turned.
The race finally began and we had to have Dakota (I refuse to call him Dake because he's not my friend) in our group. I wasn't the only one mad.
We ran through the woods. I knew exactly where to go, even without a map. We completed the first part then the second. Thats when my head started hurting. I'm talking someones cutting your head in half slowly and painfully hurting. Dakota was hysterical trying to baby me. I slapped him. Nathaniel laughed. He helped me up. Just as we were about to take the marked path I yelled,
"STOP!" both looked at me. All the ways I could fix this problem zoomed through my head.
"Are you ok? Here have some…"
"NO!" Dakota tripped and a full water bottle splashed all over me.
One thing I forgot to mention was whenever touch small (not droplets of water) I'm blind. Meaning I can't see the future. I didn't know what path was right.
"Come on lets go!" shouted Dakota who started pulling me down the path that was marked. Soon we were lost.
"Amber sabotaged us." I explained. Soon more groups met us by the tree we rested at. After drying myself from all water I stood up and knew what to do.
"Follow me." I said leading everyone to the right. Some took their time but in the end we ended a this rock. I started climbing.
"Don't think thats safe." Nathaniel said. I ignored him and continued climbing. At the top I saw the finish line.
"Over here!" I yelled "Someone switched the…" I slipped. As a psychic and a person, I will say that it was the dumbest thing I've ever done. Knowing I'd fall on my head I turned my body in midair and midrock to my feet. There was a sickening crunch. My ankle broke. Nathaniel and Dakota helped me up. My ankle to no ones surprise was twisted the wrong way. The sight of it would have brought me to tears if I hadn't just felt more pain to my head earlier today.
Dakota tried to pick me up honeymoon style but I kicked him, with my broken ankle on the foot I kicked him on of course (because I'm sooo smart). Everyone eventually found us and Nathaniel ended up giving me a piggy-back ride to the bus. I (of course) sat (against my will, not much you can do in my position) between Dakota and Nathaniel. It all seemed so tense. I sighed and fell asleep on the way. I woke up to Nathaniel shaking me. Me head was pressed against the seat in front of us (the driver's) and at school. Andy and my mom were nowhere to be seen. They didn't answer any calls either. Castiel,Lysander, Rosalya and Leigh ended up driving me to the hospital where I found out I had broken my ankle and almost cut a vein inside it (joy), so I was lucky. I got a light blue cast and crutches. Rosalya, noticing my odd obsession with blue bought me a dark blue sharpie to have everyone sign it.
The next day at school I got a lot of signatures, an almost slap from Amber and a pair of newly duct taped (thank you Rosalya, not really) blue crutches. Just to make my day worse Dakota enrolled in my school. As a welcoming gift from my brother, he received a broken nose. I didn't tell Andy that that wouldn't stop him from hitting on me in the future. One week down, many more to go. Why couldn't life be easy. Better yet, why can't I be normal?
