I just sit on my bed and start reading a book from under my bed. About ten minutes later my phone starts ringing. Picking it up the ID says Hazel. "Hey!" I say feeling relieved. "Hi! I made it home safe." She says. "That's good." I know I'm bad at conversations. "Anyway, we should probably get to bed, we do have school tomorrow and it's already two thirty in the morning." "Damn, you're right!" "Well, good night or morning?" "Yeah, you too." She hangs up and I get up to go get some clothes to where tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to classes much but anyway.
While getting up I see the two outfits that were left over from the outfit I wore two days ago. I'll just where one of them, I mean why not? Either a tie dyed tank-top and jean shorts or a plaid button up shirt with
blue jeans. We're not able to wear tank-tops at school so I guess I'll be wearing the other choice. Folding the clothes and putting them on the coffee table. I finally realize that I haven't taken my shoes. I take off my shoes and walk to the closet to put them back. "Might as well find a pair to wear tomorrow." I say to myself. In the way back of my closet is where my shoes are. There is some I haven't wore in two to three years. I mostly have tennis shoes, then boots, then flats, then high heel. To match with my outfit, I choose a pair of black tennis shoes. I don't really have shoes that would match but to me black matches with anything.
I go shut the closet door after putting my shoes by the coffee table. Feeling tired I go to shut off my light, but as I go to do that someone knocks on my door. "Who is it?" I say backing up a bit. "Can I come in?" The person behind the door says completely ignoring my question, but I recognize the voice of the person. It's Andrew, why now?! "No Andrew." "Why not?" "Because I don't want you in my room." I say in a calm voice though on the inside my nerves are jumping. "Come on, just let me in." "No." I back up from the door a little bit more and as I do my door handle starts to make that jingling sound. "And you locked the door." "Yeah, so what?" "Let me in!" He says while starting to bang on the door. "No, just go away or I'll call my mom to kick you out of the house." I say this but he still keeps banging on the door. "Hey what is going on!" I hear Crystal say from outside my door now. "He won't leave Crystal!" I say/scream to Crystal through the door. "Leave Andrew, Leigh doesn't like you." She says, damn she has guts. "Yeah, sure." He says. "I literally don't like you Andrew, I never liked you. Just leave me alone, I don't want you at all." I say before I could stop myself. "Ouch. Fine I'll leave." He says and I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Andrew left, you okay Leigh?" Crystal asks. "Yeah, I'm okay." I say unlocking my door. She walks into my room, we sit on my bed for a while talking here and there. "When you leave don't forget to lock my door." I say. "Alright, but I'm not leaving until you calm down." "Okay." I lay my head on her shoulder and slowly drift off to sleep. I feel Crystal get up and I jerk awake for a moment to say. "Don't forget to lock the door." I say then I close my eyes. I drift off into a dream or more of a nightmare, you tell me.
Dream/Nightmare: "Hey Hazel!" "Oh, hey Leigh." She says not all that enthused at all to be seeing me. A twinge in my heart, why is she acting like this she didn't act like this today. She's the one who invited me to the forest for a picnic. It's very beautiful with a cliff near the blanket and the sky clear, a slight breeze and trees full of birds that tweet cheerfully. "I have someone who I'd like to introduce to you, they really seem to like you." Hazel says in a weird voice. "Okay, who is it?" I ask surprised. "This is Andrew, I'll leave you two alone." She says. "Wait, you know I don't like him and I don't want to be alone with him. Please stay." I say in a pleading voice. "Leigh, I know you like me but I don't like you in the same way. Bye." Hazel says turning away and walking away. "Oh, but.., okay." I say getting up and turning away from the direction Hazel went. I start running with tears in my eyes, I trip over a tree root and end up falling sideways. I should have hit the ground already. I look down but I can't see anything, everything looks blurry. Wait are those rocks. I'm falling faster now.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" I scream waking up in tears, scared and hurt. It's morning now, how? "It was just a dream Leigh." I say to myself. "Hey Leigh are you okay?!" Crystal's voice says from behind my door. "Oh, yeah. Just woke up from a dream." I say. "Okay." She says, as I hear her foot steps walk away. I go to my clothes. I change quickly but I can't stop thinking. I can't tell you how many time I put my pant's on backwards before I finally got them on right then put my shoes on the wrong foot until I finally got it right. I go down the stairs and skip breakfast, I can't really think about eating right now. All I want to do right now is throw up. I just decide to start walking to school. I just feel detached from the world today.
