Loosing my sanity

"What the hell Kaytie, you promised not to go blank on me just a few minutes ago."

"Uhh... .. .. . " What on holy mother's planet earth just happened. We haven't even stepped into the school hallway. Was all that a dream, am I daydreaming now? And what's up with me always falling in all these dreams. "Am really sorry Em, am not even sure what just happened"

"Whatever u say, let's just head in now." - Emma says walking into the Hall and as I followed well my mouth dropped open. Here's why, the hallway was exactly the same as it was in...... Am I even supposed to call that a dream? But here I was standing here in the hallways alone because my best friend has been snatched by her club members, the hockey guys also there playing hockey. It was like I was reliving my dream.. . .. If it was a dream.

I pinched myself hard to confirm if I was awake and yes I was, I was almost too scared to walk over to my locker but I decided to shut that thought somewhere at the back of my mind. And like a replay just as I opened my locker to get my books that same huge guy came throwing himself towards me but this time I quickly moved out of the way and bannnggggg, he slammed his head onto my lockers.

Now this was quite scary, taking a few steps backwards to understand what just happened, I totally forgot three steps backwards lays another mishaps, I only remembered when the voice screamed at me "kayyy noooooo that's not meant for u" But since I'm the unluckiest person I know I had already stepped on it and was going now but everything seemed to go in slow motion now, giving me time to scream the thoughts in my head which was a really weird though. "Damnn I'll rather land in the janitors room than fall unto this" Weird I know right but weirder is falling down not on the spilled milk and stuff but rather in the janitors closet.

Ok. What's happening to me? How did I get to the janitors closet. This is all probably just a dream, I'll close my eyes and open them and this will be all gone, I'm prolly just sleeping in Emma's car, it's very possible, yeah it's happened before. I tried to convince myself. Shutting my eyes and counting to 10 before I open them but I'm still in the janitors closet. Ok now I'm gonna freak out.

"Calm down Kay, maybe your just being paranoid right now, maybe you sleep walked and landed in the janitors office. It happens.. . .. Right?"

After I felt I was calm, I picked up my books and walked out of the janitors closet. Immediately I saw Emma, I felt relief wash over me seeing my best friend.

"I found you at last, where have you been?"

"Umm... . Kinda a long story"

"Forget about that, there's something much more important right now"

"And what's that?"

"More than half of the school is talking about you"

"Wait what?" - I asked sincerely shocked, when your an average student like me it's really shocking to get such attention.

"Apparently you did some kind of magic trick and disappeared from the hallways"

"Jeez news travels fast"- I said with a bit of unintended sarcasm

" Does that mean it's true "- Emma asked with a confused look

" Well yes, wait I mean no no, Em I don't know.. . .. " Before I could complete my sentence the bell went off.

"Let's have this conversation later, I gotta go, just try to stay out of trouble please"- she says giving me a hug before walking away.

I walked alone to class with my mind wondering all sorts of thoughts that could possibly match what happened to me but I got none. You will think it got better but it only became weird, weirder than my usual weird.

At english class I think Mr Benson's pet rabbit was talking to me, in the girls locker room I felt I could see through to the guys locker room, during sports I think I heard some persons thought, I was literally going crazy.

Though I thought it took more than a day to loose ones sanity, maybe gradually before they lost it. Cuz it's less than a day and I've definitely lost mine.

It was only lunchtime but I don't think I could make it through the full school day with all these weirder than usual weird things happening to me. I was looking for Emma, I needed to go home this instant before it got out of hand. I was prolly just very stressed up and that's why am hallucinating, yeah "hallucinating" that's the best description to what's been happening to me. But entering the cafeteria I started hearing these thoughts again, they were just too many to comprehend I felt light headed and lost consciousness. I didn't know what happened, everything suddenly became my dark. I opened my eyes in the darkness and felt myself standing up, then a light appeared just like the one I've been seeing in my dreams. Yeah as though this was any different from being a dream. This time I wasn't on a cliff so I walked towards the light. As blinding as it was I was so surprised I could see without my eyes hurting. Taking slow long strides towards the light. I finally reached it. I felt the dampness of the air as soon as I was in front of the air. This time I wasn't falling so I strode into the light and immediately I woke up to the water that was being poured on me by my best friend. Jeez this was so not my day.

"Kaytie you alright?"

"Emma? What happened?" - I said as I tried to sit up on the floor where I was still laying.

"You fainted. You've been acting weird today"

"No Em, a lotta weird things has been happening to me today"

"I don't understand Kay" - she said with a sincere confused and worried look.

"Em can you please just take me home?"

"But Kaytie....... "

"Emma"

"What bout your dress, your birthday is in two days"

"Forget two days, if I stay here even for the next two minutes I'll go crazy"

She let's out a sigh and gives in. Helping me up to my feet and towards her car we head home.
