I wake up to find myself in darkness. The unusual wind blows through my hair, and the leaves tremble in fear. Leaves? Where? I slowly get up from my lying position, and find myself in the middle of a forest. But that can't be right. Why am I here? I wince as I stand up. My head is spinning, and I have to lean on a nearby tree for support. A dream? But it feels so real. My thoughts are interrupted by the cold tecture running down my hand. I look to see that the tree I'm leaning on appears to be bleeding. What the fuck?! I jump back only to trip over a stick, and fall on my ass. My breaths become rappeded, and my heart frozen from shock. Where the hell am I? As if to answer me, a howl sounds in the distance. Was that a wolf! What the hell am I thinking, of course it's a wolf. I mean im in the middle of a forest for fuck sake! I climb to my feet, and look around hoping to find an exit. Okay so I can't climb the trees. So how the FUCK do I find the exit! I start to panic, only to be interrupted by another howl this time closer. Shit! Does it know I'm here? I start to walk away from the noise, only to hear it again. I speed up and soon enough I'm sprinting towards nothing. After what feels like hours of running, I'm a sweaty mess, and I can barely breathe. The howling has mixed with my own breathing and I soon lose track of where it's coming from. I feel tears start to wet my eyes, and I trip over another stick. Daum sticks. Is this a fucking horror movie? Am I going to die? I scramble to my feet only to fall into a hole. Where the fuck did the hole come from! Why the fuck do I keep eating shit?! It's as if i'm the cheerleader from the movie: scary movie! As I crawl out of the hole, I spot a figure crouching in the distance. SHit! Please tell me that it's not a wild animal, and hopefully someone who can help me!
“P-please he-” Is interrupted by a growl that sounds like it was right behind me.
I turn around slowly, only to find a wolf right behind me. I shriek in fear. Own and just so you know I'm not trembling because I'm a weak bitch, It's because there's not just one wolf, there are millions of them. zillions! Where the hell did they all come from anyway? Before I can say anything else, they all prounce at the same time. I try to block them with my scrawny arms only to wake up screaming in my own bed. The sheets are soaked, and apparently so am I. My brother comes busting through the door. Only to see that I'm a sweaty mess.

A few hours later, I'm in my first class waiting for the bell to ring. I was going to finish my drawing: Of a raven, But last night's dream has drained all life from me. Not to mention, I still feel like shit from yesterday's meeting. So instead I decide to lay my head down, and get whatever rest I can get before class starts. I hear the murmuring of my classmates, the fumbling of paper, and the screeching of a chair. Right as I'm about to fall back into the heavy slumber that awaits me, someone taps me on the shoulder. I wince at the bruise right where they're touching me, and then grow irritated.
“Wow, what side of the bed did you wake up on?” My best friend grins.
“What about you, I haven't seen you smile that big since the time we swapped out your sisters favorite shampoo with green kool aid.
Just the thought makes his smile impossible wider.
“Oh yeah! her hair was green for days! I must say the red face made it so much funnier!” He chuckles.
I laugh a little.
“BUt anyways, guess who’s got a date!” He announces getting louder at the end.
“You're serious? with who?”
“Only the cutest, sexisest, girl in the entire school!” He brags.
“Veronica?”
He nods once, I freak out, cursing and everything. Veronica is one of the most popular girls in school, and she’s most popular for the roomers. Some say she’s slept with every guy out there, (minus us losers) Others say she ‘s flirted with our math teacher, just to pass a lousy quiz. She’s not just the sluttest bitch out there, she’s a complete dumb ass. I swear even a three year old is smarter than veronica!
“Connor you can't be serious! She’s going to hurt you!” I rub my temples. It's too early for this shit.
“Oh, I'm serious alright, and she is too, I mean who would sleep with a complete loser like me if they didnt like them!” He smiles.
This dumb ass is going to get his ass kicked, and it wont be by me.
“Look connor, I really dont think this is a good idea,” I sigh.
“Are you kidding, all the guys would drool for a girl like Veronica, and you're telling me it's a bad idea? I think you're just jealous!” he yells, throwing his hands in the air.
‘Can you just listen for one fucking moment-”
“NO! Veronica and I are going on a date tomorrow night whether you like it or not!” He gets up and leaves just as the teacher enters the room.

ARound lunch time, I'm sitting by the school statue: It's a bear on all fours.
I sigh as I stare at my unfinished drawing. Todays just been fantastic, first the nightmare, then Connor, what next? Is an asteroid going to come crashing down on top of the school with me let alone everyone else inside. AS if to prove his point, a football hits him in the back of the head. What the fuck! A boy with amber colored hair comes running towards me.
“Sorry about that!” He yells with a surprisingly soft voice. His eyes are brown, almost red, and his smile seems a little forced. He crouches to pick up the ball only to be eye level to me.
“Hey do I know you?"
