“No, no, no, no,” Terry assures. “Nothing bad is going to happen, Brook, or it already would have, don’t freak out.”
“I can’t help not freaking out, I mean, I think everything is going to mess up because of the everything is fine. It’s not fine!” I say.
Terry tilted her head at me. “Hey, it’s going to be okay, and if it’s not, we’ll get through it.”
I nod, “together.”
Terry nods as she turns away from me to head off the other direction of her class. Now, I know I can be a bit of an over reactor, but I mostly had good reason.
But this, this doesn’t feel like me overreacting, this feels like a warning, a bad warning too. I get all jumpy at any sound, even with people surrounding me, I can’t shake the feeling of something, not someone, something, just waiting for a mistake. Not to mention the fact that today’s news report was about all of the weird things that were happening, and they just had to mention the storm we claimed happened during our field trip.
‘Coincidence? I think not, I think these kids weren’t lying, something’s happening to our town, and we have to figure it out.’
I can’t help but shudder at those last words, I just don’t want to think what would happen if everyone really found out what was going on, plus the news mentioned Stilere’s fainting, all that happened a while ago, and that someone reported seeing something at the park we went to those few weeks ago.
The feeling’s get stronger everyday, and I can’t help but freak out by the looks I’m getting from people, but then I remember.
They don’t know what’s really going on, I’m just the weird former loner foreign girl that ‘stealed their people’, ever since Terry and Abe have been hanging out with us, people have been noticing. Terry’s friend hasn’t been any nicer, she’s just gotten more harsher and cruel as the days past. And Abe’s stupid friend’s always make an insulting comment when I pass by.
But I just don’t care anymore, no more sitting alone in the cafeteria until I give up looking for friends and end up either eating in the toilets or outside.
I’m tired of people looking at me like I’m a freak, I probably am now more than ever, but I’m not going through it alone, and that thought keeps me going.
I’m feeling a bit rebellious today, so instead of walking straight to class when the warning bell is sounded, I decide to go in the opposite direction, outside.
Taking shelter in the little woods that this school has graciously offered us, I sit down as I watch some kids hurry to the buildings, or other’s like me, ditching. My eyes wander past the building, and I look at the sky ahead.
Beautiful as always, I’ve been dying to try to fly up into the sky, but with so much trouble coming our way, I believe I shouldn’t. I hear a snap from a branch and immediately freak out, just as a foot appears into view I close my eyes, please don’t see me, please don’t see me.
I feel a weird pulsing in my body, it feels like I’m a beating heart. I feel some kind of force go up and down my body, and my hair blows as if there’s a fan blowing it. I crack my eyes open to see three guys looking at the school ahead of us.
Two of them looked very intimidating, wearing suits fit for professional bodyguards. Though the guy in the middle was much smaller, and…how do I put this in a nice way…ugly. Something radiated off him that sent warning bells everywhere off.
Even though he wore normal, friendly, looking clothes, his attire didn’t do any help to make him look more approachable and less dangerous.
“Are you sure this is this is the place?” The guy in the middle, whom I assume is the leader, asked.
“Yes sure, were sure.”
The leader wrinkled his nose, “young blood is always bad, most people try harder to find, this better be good.”
They all walked past me, or more like stepped right through me, I was startled that I gave a little shriek, but they didn’t seem to hear that as they continued to walk towards the school, my school. Where my friends were, unknowing of the danger that was soon to happen.
Who knew my feeling had been right?

Ya tell me,
Don't dance, don't dance,
Just stay inside and never go out
And scold me
All day long, all day long
What makes you think you're so damn awesome?
Don't ya know we have a life too, too?
We'd be sittin in watching TV
And I don't think you want that either
So what the heck can we do?
We're not just mindless robots with nothing else to do
We don't have time for homework
We just wanna have fun, fun, fun
We have a life, no time for homework
We can go ahead and play flag football
But I'm not goin inside
Why do you act like
There's nothin else better than
Doin homework all night long
I bet you never liked that when you were young
We've been playin outside
Now it's time to kick in and relax
No more time for homework, just sit back and do the things I love to do
Cuz I gotta enjoy my life when I'm young.
Don't dance, don't dance,
Just stay inside and never go out
And scold me
All day long, all day long
What makes you think you're so damn awesome?
Don't ya know we have a life too, too?
