I love writing mysteries filled with twists and drama...here is a prologue to my new mystery...REMEMBER TO REVIEW
The empty hallway was painted red as my gaze fell upon a figure lying in a puddle of blood. NOOO! I cried out and rushed to them. As I ran the hallway kept getting longer and longer. The more I ran for them the farther away they got. I felt like all I could do was stand there and watch them bleed to death. I fell to my knees wishing I could get to that person to help them, to find out who it is. I fell to my knees and let out a frustrated scream….
"clare…..Clare…..CLARE! Wake up" my mom was looking down at me concerned. She said I was screaming in my sleep, and that I was having a nightmare. She asked me what happened, and even though I remember the contents of the dream I didn't know what it meant so I just said it was nothing and I was okay. She looked at me and said "ok and anyway its 6 am time for school" I pulled myself out of bed and headed to the bathroom to get ready. I have been having strange dreams like this for a few months now. It doesn't make any sense though, the only friends I really have I Ali, and sometimes Connor. Me and K.C broke up a while back because of a backstabbing, manipulative, bimbo. I shocked myself at how I refer to her now.
The dreams still persist though. I started to get dressed. I had just recently started wearing other clothes besides my school uniform. I always told myself that I didn't care what other people think but deep down I think everyone cares…just a little. I looked in the mirror. Oh how I have changed since last year. My long straight hair was short and curly and my blue eyes (that some guys told me were pretty) were no longer hidden behind glasses. I went outside and caught Ali on the way to school. We always walked together. She was babbling on about this new guys she liked drew. She didn't even realize I had spaced. I looked out in the parking lot and saw the same hearse that killed my glasses pull up. The door opened and out came this guy whose eyes were a shade of green that could put emeralds to shame. He dressed in all black and he looked mad or distressed. I watched him head into the building. I heard a snapping sound by my ears and I realized it was ali trying to bring me back to this planet. "Sorry I was just….." I started….. "Staring adoringly at that new kid" Ali interrupted. I blushed and said that I wasn't staring. She rolled her eyes and said "OK whatever you say Clare"
When we got into the building me and Ali went our separate ways we had totally different schedules this year. My classes even included grade 11 English. I walked into my first class and saw that I had it with K.C. and Jenna. I wanted to throw up; they were making little kissy faces in class. There were only to seats open one was right behind them and the other was next to this guy wearing a beanie. He looked normal enough so I sat next to him.
"Hi I'm Adam" he said smiling at me "Clare" I said back. We talked through the whole class. I found out that he was Drew's brother, the guy Ali had a crush on. He told me how much he liked comics and what music he listened to. I wasn't a big comic fan but we did like some of the same music surprisingly. The bell rang and we realized we spent no time actually listening to the lecture. "I guess Ill have to find notes on what happened today" I laughed. Adam asked what class I had next and I said science. He did too, in fact we had all the same classes, even the advanced English class. I walked to science with Adam ecstatic I made a new friend.
By the time we got to English there were only two seats left in the back so we took them. Miss Dawes came in and assigned everyone English partners, but to my dismay Adam and I were not paired up. I instead was partnered with the dark haired boy who sat in front of me he turned around and looked at me. I saw the piercing green eyes and instantly recognized him.
He smirked when he realized I was staring and said "so I guess you didn't get a good enough look this morning…" I looked away and blushed I can't believe he saw me this morning. "Who said I was staring at you" I answered He started to say "it's okay if you were blues eyes…." But I cut him off "wait a minute how did you know I was staring unless you were already looking at me" now it was his turn to blush I heard Adam choke back a laugh. "by the way my name is Clare" I said as an afterthought. "I know that…blues eyes….I'm Eli" he said. The bell rang and we got up Adam came over to me and introduced himself. Those seemed to be getting along really well so I said goodbye and went to find Ali. Today had been a good day, and I couldn't wait to tell her.
She was waiting for me and I filled her in on the days events and she squealed. She was thrilled for me and because she had a plan to get drew. I got to my house and said goodbye to Ali. I went inside and started my homework. I felt my phone go off and It was from Adam telling me to meet him in front of the school in the morning he had the notes from our first class we talked through today. I replied ok and went back to work. It was late when I got done so I went and headed to bed I was about to fall asleep I was thinking about what a good day it was there was no way I was gonna have another nightmare tonight…
BOY WAS I EVER WRONG!
So i hope you guys liked the first chapter, remember things are NEVER as they seem. Also Be careful when you dream... foreshadowing or completely irrelevant gotta keep reading to find out.
