I stepped into the car and slammed my head against the steering wheel. I gritted my teeth and fell back against the seat, touching the lump on my forehead gingerly.

That deffinantly felt real…

I let out a large sigh and turned the key. The rumble of the engine snapped enough sense in me to finally drive to school and walk off the strange hallucination.

Pulling into the mostly empty parking lot of my high school I turned off my radio and removed the head unit, hiding it away in the glove box. I pulled into my parking spot and killed the engine, reclining back again I eyed my quarter cup of coffee.

In a few seconds it was gone and I put the cup back in the holder. I leapt out, heels clacking loudly, and recovered my backpack and purse from the back seat. Going through my text messages, I hit the lock button on my keys, a satisfying "Beep" echoing from the car then off the keys. I let out a yawn.

First period went by smoothly- Molly greeting me with a morning hug "it needs to be Friday already…" she groaned as we sat down and our teacher gave us the agenda: another session of drawing your neighbor for an hour, hooray art class…

Second period was as cold as it normally was; For some reason the classroom my AP Chemistry took place in- I could almost see my breath. I was happy to have remembered a second jacket today. My classmates and I agreed our teacher was attempting Cryogenic on his students…

Third period was as long as always- new seating chart and go figure- no seat next to my boyfriend. My stomach growled signaling the 20 minutes until lunch. I finished the last few pages of the chapter in the book and packed up.

Lunchtime- to say the least- was almost rushed due to the longer lines today. Giving one last goodbye kiss to my boyfriend I grabbed my bagel and strawberry cream cheese from the line. I sat down at the table getting a warm welcoming from my friends. Trevor cracked a joke about how much of whore his fish was, Kasi and I talked nonsense. "Dude, I had about the weirdest dream last night…" she started, looking up from the screen of her phone. "Ugh tell me about." I let out a sigh, rolling my eyes, remembering the strange "encounter" from this morning. "So I totally fell asleep watching a scary movie last night, and in my dream I was in the movie- except I was the killer and somehow by the end of it we all went and had icecream." We laughed and I thought about telling her the truth of this morning- ah what the heck. "Yea mine was weird too- well not ice cream serial killer weird- but as if it was real…" she stole a drink from my Snapple "go on." I gave her a fake glare. "Well I had this dream where I hit this guy on my way to school- but the guy I hit wasn't supposed to be real or something- anyway, we argued for a second and then poof he was gone and I woke up." I finished. "Huh, that is strange…" we finished our food and the lunch bell rang, sending us off to fourth period.

Honors Pre-Cal sounds a lot easier than it sounds- that or I had a good teacher. She was a small pearshaped woman, adorning pudgy cheeks and short naturally red hair. The class flew by and I was a bit disappointed to have to leave- honestly Ioved math- kept me awake.

Cruising over to fifth period I was slightly proud of myself for actually remembering to do my Spanish 2 homework. My friend Hallie (Her name "Hayley" but her mom spelt it weird) plopped down in her seat in front of me. Her blonde hair spinning as she turned to me "so… did you remember to do last night's-" I cut her off "Most indeedy!" I said as I presented the paper. "Shocker." She giggled "And pretty awesome." She snatched it away "Cuz' I forgot to do mine."

"you nasty cheater."

"SHHH! Don't say that!" she giggled and I couldn't help but utter a chuckle.

I stretched out in my chair in my last class of the day, in a little under an hour I can go home and take a nap and forget about this shadow-business…

The final bell rang and everyone arose quickly and shoved out the door. I met up with my friends in the cafeteria/auditorium. Shona gave me a cookie she had leftover from some party in her last class, Molly asked if I had finished the art homework for this month, and I grimaced, I still had to do another picture before tomorrow. Hallie went on talking to her boyfriend of two years. It was then I told everyone to get on deviantart chat tonight so I could tell about this morning.

Shona, hallie and I all walked to our cars, saying our goodbyes as we went our ways.

I hopped in my bronco and happily drove home.

I had just shut my locked my car before I heard a rustle in the bushes near the side of the house. Ignoring it, I walked inside, my cat Luci welcoming me home with her "Feed me" routine of tripping and constant mewing.

I leant back up and jumped when I noticed a fairly familiar hedgehog on the other side of the sliding glass door. I let out a yelp and dropped the empty can of cat food. "Let me in." he was muffled by the glass. I shook my head, grasping the counter I was against. He let out a displeased groan and teleported into my kitchen.

"Ok look-" he started but paused as he dodge an apple, orange and banana I chucked his way. "Stop." He growled and I set the pineapple back down. "good. Now-" I threw the spiky fruit to double check. He caught it with hand, his good one, might I add.

"Shit… you really are here aren't you?"

"What kind of stupid question is that?" he wrinkled his face in discust at the pineapple as he set it down on the counter.

Funny, would have thought he would throw it at me.
