I slung my satchel over my shoulder and walked out the gates out of school, I turned the corner and ran into Nathan. To stop me from stumbling he grabbed my waist and smirked. "You okay?" He asked. "Yeah, fine." I smiled. He took his hands off my hips. "Yeah well see ya." He said. "Yeah bye." I walked off. Nathan was SO the hottest guy in school, but he never actually noticed me. I had never actually had a crush on him though, although a lot of other girls had pretty much spent their whole time in Highschool pining over him. I took the bus into town, I would go shopping with some non-existing money and then get tea, which I'd beg Maria to give me some (She owns a resteraunt down town and shes my Mums friend, although their not friends anymore, not after Maria saw how they treated me) Then I would sneak into see a late night movie. I groanded though, I had ben doing this so many times over the past term that it was incredibly boring.

I wandered aimlessly around town, I felt like a ghost. Noone saw me, and they all rushed past, I couldnt see their faces. They were all getting away from me, and I tried so hard to keep up but I fell behind with all real humanity. I felt sick and I thought that I would throw up.

I woke up, startled, I felt a cool hand running along my back seductively. I whipped around, but saw noone. I was sure that I had felt something, but then, I was sure I had been awake, but obviously not. It was dark, and I had been having a nightmare, on a bench, in the dark park, that NOONE in their right mind ever actually went across, especially not after dark and ESPECIALLY not anymore, now that the disappearance of a lot of people were actually increasing. I should get out of here. I should go home. I thought placidly, but my mind wasnt working properly, I still felt sick, but in a different way. I was light headed and I felt like I needed to be somewhere, although I had no idea where that somewhere was. I put my pounding head in my hands. I thought I heard a chuckle, but when I turned around, I saw no one, a shiver went up my spine. I had to find out who was there.

I was feeling really weird by now. I could hardly see and I stumbled on into the darkness, there were the streetlights, I would have to go towards them, but as soon as I took 10 steps towards them, they disappeared, and now I was in complete darkness, the forest closing in on me from all sides. My heart pounded, adding to my sick feeling. I had to get home, my head was clearing, now that all the lights were gone and it was only me. I felt a kind of tugging at the corner of my mind, saying move to the right, you'll be home that way.

It was only after about five minutes that I realized it wasnt MY voice in my head that had said that, it was someone elses and by that time, it was far too late.

Running late is not good for me... or anyone near me, I get snappy and angry and take it out on my friends so I always try to get enough sleep. But not last night! I had to stay away from home until three in the morning, when my uncles friends had all passed out from drinking, I could finally go home and sleep. But now its the morning and I'm grouchy as ever. I stuffed some books, I have no idea if they were the right ones, into my bag and took off down the street, I brushed my hair on the way, I had to get there in two minutes! I hated starting my days like this! Ok, I give up on the brushing, I put my long dark brown hair into a scruffy bun and hurtled down the street. A car pulled up ahead of me. "Come on Motoko get in." "Oh thank god." I utter. I clambered into the passenger seat of my best friends Liz's car. "Thanks! I would have SO gotten the clamp at school!" "Yeah well, where did the days go where you didnt care? Ae? Oh, yeah I remember why you're acting like such a goody at school, sorry." "I'm not acting like such a... oh well, I suppose I am." I chuckled. "But it's worth it! I NEED that art scholarship! And i'm not allowed any detentions! DO you know how-" "Yes, I know how hard it is, and fix your hair up, you've got time now." I grinned and slid the dirty mirror in Liz's old cruddy car down from the shade. I applied some eyeliner and brushed my sleek hair into something straighter. "It amazes me how you look so great even when you havent done your hair or applied anything, in the mornings, if I dont have a proper 10 minute shower I'd look like a swollen frog of some sort." Liz said. I laughed. "Whatever, you look great all the time, do you know how many people envy your hair?" She flicked her naturally, perfectly straight hair and grinned slightly. "Anyway! Enough of the awkward convo! What times your hockey game?" "Weeeellll since we moved up to A grade... we have our game at 6:00." "Awesome, well, here we are... Hell disguised." She muttered the last part but I still heard and laughed. "Art?" "Yip." I was working on a massive project... finger painting. Nah okay, maybe not, I was doing photography today so I would be on the computers. The morning passed fast with art and p.e, useless subjects as my aunt and uncle would say... but they didnt even know I was taking them this year. Morning tea past with me at a hockey meeting, lunch was just social and the afternoon trickled past with Maths and Chemistry so that sucked. And now its after school, how to fill in the afternoon?
