Chapter 1: Weird dream
Alissa's POV
"Come with me" A girl with long dark hair all that way down her back says leading me through the forest.
"Slow down."I a beg chasing after her breathlessly barely catching up to her.
"Your too slow."
She says and then disappears.
I search for her and as I am about to call out to her I realize I don't know her name.
I am pulled out of my dream and back into reality by someone calling my name.
"Alissa"
"I'm not sleeping in class !" I shout jumping from my slumber and the class erupts in laughter.
I groan face palming myself.
"Miss Lieberman, since you were asleep you must know everything I'm teaching. Why don't you come up here and teach your classmates how to work out these equations?" Our math teacher suggests.
"Big mistake." Julia my bestfriend says and the teacher gives her a warning glare.
I grab my calculator and walk up to the withe board taking 4 different markers. I start explaining the equations one at at a time while working them out and my classmates quietly and quickly take notes.
When I"m done I use the red marker to tik all my answers.
"Don't bother checking them, they're all correct." I smile boldly handing her the duster.
"Oooooh, roasted." Robert says highfiveing me as I pass his seat.
I watch with smirk on my face as the teacher checks the answers, her fury and frustration grows when she can't find a wrong answer.
"Miss Lieberman, I guess your not as smart as you think. This one is incorrect, its says x = 5 the answer is actually 4.5." A smirk spreads across her red lips.
"I rounded it off." I explain and she growls knowing I was correct, and the bell went off just in time.
We grab our stuff and begin moving to our next class.
"What where you dreaming about that was so enticing?" Julia asks whilst poking my cheek.
"What'd you mean?"
"You were mumbling I'm your sleep, telling someone to wait an slow down. " Robert raps his hand around my shoulder after peaking.
"OMFG! Were you dreaming about s*x!" Julia blurts out in the hallway and everyone starts looking at us.
Robert and I walk away pretending we don't know her for a sec.
"What!" She yells and they get back to what they were doing.
Robert and I begin laughing at her expense.
"Spill." Julia says as I am ripped from the warmth of Robert's arm.
"I was dreaming about a girl, we were player in a forest. Well more like she was leading me somewhere but I was too slow." I tell them as we walk to Robert's car.
"So who was she? Did you recognize her."
"No, for some reason I can't seem to remember her face. The only thing that I can remember is her long black hair."
"Hmm, maybe it like a premonition? Your name is close the Alice." Robert adds and a weird yet surprised look takes over Julia's face then she quickly schools it.
"Ugh, would you stop with the twilight reference. We live in Port Angeles." Julia face palms herself as she scolds Robert.
I giggled as they begin their banter, Robert is such a fanboy.
We all have our own cars but we prefer to carpool since we're practically neighbors and I don't have my license yet.
"You guys wanna hang out at mine?" Julia asks as we approach her house.
"I'm beat, I wanna get some sleep." I say.
"Such a party pooper." I says sticking her tongue out at me and I do the same.
"I can hang out." Robert suggests.
"No thanks, all your gonna talk about is twilight this and twilight that." She complains.
"Ouch." He says pouting at her.
"Eyes in front soldier, your driving remember?"
She reminds him and he chuckles then starts to focus on the road again.
I think it's kinda weird she hardly hangs out with him if I'm not there. I wonder if it's on purpose and she does it subconsciously without even knowing. And does her realize it also?
Maybe its because he's a guy. Growing up she always seemed to stay away from guy friends for some reason. And when Robert moved to town he became her first guy friend.
Maybe she has a crush on him or something.
"Helloooooooo earth to Alisa."
"Hey, sorry I spaced " yup I was thinking too deep.
"I was asking what you wanted to do for your birthday next week. I was thinking a mini bucket list?" She asks and suggest at the same time.
"I wasn't planning anything special I'm only turning 16. And I mini bucket list seems a bit over the top for a 16th birthday." For some reason I don't feel like celebrating.
"Come on you only turn 16 once and you can finally get your license to drive that sweet car your dad bought you." She's always gushing over my car that I can't even drive. Yet.
She looks at me with hopeful eyes and I give in.
"Fine, I'll make a list by tomorrow." She really wants this and I don't have anything planned.
Robert drops her off Julia and I then heads home.
"Thanks for the ride."I say waving him off.
"No thanks needed, you'll be dropped me off next week." Robert jokes speeding off.
As I enter the house I see my moms keys on the key rack I guess she's home early. I'll go get dinner started.
"Hey sweetie, I wasn't expecting you so early." I'm caught off guard when I see her in the kitchen.
"Hey mom, I thought you'd be resting."
"You came to start dinner didn't you?" She asks smiling at me.
"Yup, but you beat me to it. How long have you been home?" I ask while pouring some apple juice.
"Hmmm, about two hours I'd say." I watch her brunette curls bounce slightly as she spoke.
I love her hair so much.
"What is it honey, you've been standing there with that juice for awhile."
"Sorry I just spaced out. I was thinking about what to do for my birthday." I lie.
"Isn't your birthday a school day?" She c***s an eyebrow at me and I stay quiet. "If you skip I'll kill you." She says with a sweet smile but a deadly look in her eyes.
"Can I skip half day?" I plea with her.
"Be home by 9:30 for your birthday celebration and not a word about this to your dad or your grounded until your 30." She warns .
"Thanks so much mom your the best." I carefully hug her as she closes the pot then I kiss her cheek.
Now I just need to figure out where I want to go that day.
