"What do you think it was Jake?" asked May, I thought for a second "maybe schizophrenia?" "Yeah, maybe that may explain why she was acting that way" Chris commented. The rest of the group kept chatting while I spaced out, everyone around me was talking about the incident from this morning which got me thinking about the man that I saw wandering around my neighborhood before getting on the bus, but there's no way that the two incidents were connected I thought. The last classes were the same as the rest I was having today, non-stop chatter about what happened this morning. The bell rang and classes were over for the day, May had a class in the room next to me so she waved goodbye then went in the opposite direction I went, May's in the rock band at school and had a rehearsal but I didn't have really have any after school groups so I got on the bus and headed home. I had my headphones on so I wouldn't hear all the chatter around just for a few seconds. I wanted to relax and not think about what happened today. Even though I didn't want to ament it, I was scared of what happened today. "A woman that was trying to bite people and banging on everyone's widows?" who wouldn't be, to be honest.
Nothing happened on the way home, I got off the bus, looked at my phone to see if I had any messages, and looked up "at least the guy from this morning is gone" I thought to myself. I unlocked the door and went inside, took off my shoes, and headed to my room. I plopped on the bed and looked at articles for today on my laptop but surprisingly there weren't any about that woman, strange I thought brushing it off. I went to sit at my desk and do school work, I was there for hours until I looked at the time, it was eight. I went to go see if my mom was home but she wasn't, which was kind of strange because she's usually home by now. My mom, Jessica works at a hospital but it's pretty slow most of the time so she gets home around 6:30, I decided to call and see if she was still there or not.
"Hey, when are you coming home?" "Oh I hadn't realized what time it was but I don't think I'll be able to be home tonight, there's a surge of patients tonight, all riddled with bite marks-" all I could think about was about that morning with that woman "Jake?...Jake?" snapping out of my trace "Oh sorry mom I think I spaced out." "Alright well, you have your dinner handled right?" "Yeah" " Ok just don't stay up too late and don't wait up for me because I'm not going to be home anytime soon." "Got it, see you tomorrow hopefully." "Yeah, we'll see." I hung up.
I finished up my school work and then put it all away. I just had a bowl of cereal for dinner and sat down to watch the news and still nothing about what was happening. Which was kind of pissing me off "Why aren't they talking about what's happening!?"
I ended up going to bed around midnight. It was a Wednesday night so I had school in the morning, I set an alarm for the morning and headed to bed. The alarm went off and I got up and got ready for school, ate breakfast, and stood outside. The bus was late, I had to have waited for another 10 minutes until the bus arrived, I got on and sat down. I didn't put my headphones on today because I wanted to see if they were still talking about it, but to my shock, not many were talking about it. The chatter was mostly about normal drama today, even though there were a few that were talking about it, but it just looked like it was the people filling in the ones that weren't here yesterday. The ride to the school was as normal as it can be, no one on the roads, no real traffic. I got there right on time like a normal day and then headed to my first class.
Everything was fine but then the alarm that's for intruders went off "Everyone we are going into lockdown, everyone on the second floor get somewhere safe quickly, this is not a drill I repeat this not a drill" they hung up. "they're on our floor" someone blurted, you could see all the worry in their faces. The teacher locked the door, turned the light off, and covered the windows, "Everyone get to the back of the room." everyone moved over to the back of the room. It had only been two minutes until 'bang' someone tried to get in! Everyone jumped and the teacher got up and grabbed a pair of scissors, you know just in case. "Stop right there!" the security guard had finally found them! "Sir don't move another muscle!" then there was a gunshot "what the-" other shot, he had to have unloaded his whole gun and then some before the yelling and shooting finally stopped. We were there for another 30 minutes before the lockdown was over, we were all sent home that day. When we all left the room there was a body a little down the hall in a bodybag with officers in front of it.
My mom came and picked me up, her face was full of fear. I got in the car and we drove home. We didn't really say anything to each other, the atmosphere in the car was enough for words. We went into the house, she locked the door behind me and I went to my room and finished up on any work I hadn't done yet, trying to get my mind off what just happened, which didn't really work. I decided to take a nap instead considering all that happened. I laid there for a few minutes till I eventually fell asleep.
I was walking with my mom in the hospital, there was someone who was at the end of the hall. The lights were dim because it was 10 pm, everyone was supposed to be asleep. He started to come into view, my mom asked him if he was lost and needed anything. I then saw the bite mark on his arm, then I saw his eyes, they didn't look human, they didn't have fixated pupils or any color in them, just blank. Then his walk, it's like he was wobbling but there was no sign of any other injury. My mom then walked up to him and went to touch him, then he lunged on to her biting her arm, blood spraying everywhere. I tried to scream and run away but all I could do was stand there and watch as he ate her. All of a sudden I started falling. Jumped up in bed, crying and gasping for air. "It was just a dream, just a dream," I said to myself
I didn't try to go back to sleep that night and I didn't do anything after that dream but lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. I then tried analyzing the dream itself, as what does it mean? Is it a Premonition? Had I seen this before? And before I knew it the sun was beaming on my face, I looked at my phone it was 7 in the morning. I got and went to see my mom but there was a note on the fridge "The hospital needed me, I didn't want to wake you, no school because of happened yesterday, probably well be home late, mom" "Well now what do I do?" I went to my room and sat at my desk looking at the news on my laptop "School shooting at Westchester High'' was the headlining, clicking on it "It was a normal day for the students at Westchester high until an intruder came in. One of the officers said 'It was like he wasn't human, he just kept walking towards me after I unloaded my hole gun in him, he only stopped after I shooting him in his head' I stopped reading the article and went to the live news they were talking about the same thing on pretty much all the local channels. But still nothing about the people attacking each other until I came across this channel "People are attacking each other, bitting, scratching each other, becoming hospitalized afterward, what are we going to do?"
