I jolted awake. I turned over and realized today would be the beginning of my last year at school. Well unless I go to collage which I'm really hoping they give me a scholarship since I don't have the money and I don't exactly have parents to help me out in that aspect. So I looked at my clock and holy bananas it was already 8:09am! I am so late already on the first day. So I had to use full energy surge to get dressed. I picked out a red plaid baggie button up jacket over a black tank top, some light blue faded skinny jeans, and some black converse. I brushed my hair and my teeth and sprinted out the door.

I walked through down town, but nobody was walking or doing whatever people do in down town. I felt really strange, but there was no time for that I was already late. So when I reached school nobody was walking around so I thought I must be really late. So I ran into the doors nobody was in the halls either, it was probably the middle of class period. So I looked at my schedule and seen my first block; rm 247 science. I ran up all 78 of the stairs, and yes I counted, until I finally found the room. I was out of breath from running threw the halls, so I quickly walked in and started " I'm so sorry I'm lat-" I looked up, nobody was there. So then I thought 'well maybe I just got the class wrong' but then why wasn't anybody using this one?

Just to make sure of myself I peeked in all of the class room windows " nobody there". I gasped ' why is nobody at school? Did I get the date wrong?' No, I paused maybe my clock was wrong?. But in that case why was there nobody walking the streets? The streets of Seattle, Washington are usually filled with people,but it's strange to find no one on the streets at anytime! I walked threw the halls to get out of the school feeling like I was going insane. Wait that's it! Maybe I was just going insane, I mean my mother was insane so could it be in my genes maybe? I finally got outside the cool air hit me as soon as the doors opened. I decided to head home and lay down so I started walking, but then I heard somthing like a kind of low whisper noise. Then I think I seen something rush past me, but it was going so fast all I seen was a blurry glob.

I walked home never letting my guard down , jumping at every little noise. When my house was in sight I was relived once again my home never let me down it still stands and right now I'm pretty darn grateful. I walked in the door " I'm home" I said. Even though my mom wasn't right in the head I still liked to think she was there. Then I stopped, it was too quiet I mean I pretty much live alone ,but my mom is usually up (she never goes to sleep) she's usually banging her head on the wall, walking around the house looking for someone (probably dad), scratching the walls, or crying loudly in the corner,but I heard none of those things. I started looking around the house for her ,she wasn't in any of her usual places like dad's bedroom, in her corner in the living room, or standing starring out the window. I was starting to freak out now! " mom!" I yelled frantically, no answer.

I gave up, she was gone! I went up to my room 'what could have happened to her? She hasn't left the house since dad died. And quite frankly I don't think she knows what outside is I mean sometimes she looks out the windows, but most of the time she's in her own little world. She wouldn't leave! Plus she couldn't make it out there!' I lied down putting my hand over my head "what a stressful day" I said as I closed my eyes.
