Wonders of you

I just sat in class, in the back where no one would notice me. I, personally, don't like all the attention on me...it makes me feel I'm taking the attention from someone else. Today Mr. Red talked about useless information about physical science, he is so boring I might just shoot myself if I don't leave this class soon. Then once I'm done with this class I get to go to my favorite class, band. I'm a saxophone player but my best friend is the only percussionist in the whole school so she has to do all the work in each performance, though sometime our band teacher lets me play with her because he knows I know how to play the drums. About twenty minutes later the bell rings, I rush out of the hell hole and to the band room.

I meet up with my best friend, Persilla, at the back of the band room where all the drumming equipment is. She greets me " Hey umbrella" I smile and reply " what up purse" she smiled at me and hugged me. I hug her back tickling her a little. Persilla squeaks and laughs " you wanna go..?!" She said jokingly. Tickling me back, I laughed a lot; Persilla stopped and looked at me smiling " which is it? Drums or sax today?" " Drums ya doof " I exclaimed still laughing a little.

Mr. Uni, our band teacher, came into the room and wrote some songs on the board. They where the same ol' same ol'. "Hopes and dreams", "his theme" all that from this 'prophecy' that everyone in this school is afraid of. I think it's just talk but I don't really know the truth about it so I have no where to talk. Though...something about "his theme" seems......close to my heart...as if it's something important to me...? Persilla and I goofed a little bit in the back of the class room bit after about five minuets we stopped. Neither of us wanted to get in trouble by Mr. Uni....the whole school is afraid of him...so if I were to upset him; that might be the last thing I'd ever do before I die....

"...the song of His Theme is about..." Great....Mr.Uni is lecturing about the weird song....just what I need.....as if the song wasn't strange enough for me. Persilla looked at me; seeing how uneasy I am, she whispered " Hey Esy? Whats wrong...?" I whispered back " This song....there's somethin' about it that's gives me a familiar feeling....". As Mr.Uni continued talking about the history of His Theme something creepy happened. I heard a knock at the door 'knock.......knock.........knock' and it continued in that pattern. I wondered why no one was answering it, so I got up and opened the door but....."Esmeralda? Why are you at the door?" Mr.Uni questioned. When I looked around to see who knocked at the door I saw a little boy covered in blood and barbed wire. I looked at him in fear....I couldn't even move....."h...help.....m..me....w...war......on....world"

Tears started to run down my face and my body trembled, "Ms. Zisic?" Mr. Uni questioned "is there something wrong?". The little boy came closer and closer until I could feel his wires and blood on me "p...lease......mommy.......d...daddy.....help......m...me...." said the little boy.I then started to move backwards into the class but he followed, I moved quicker to somewhere safe but he grabbed me. I fell to the floor screaming a little, we were face to face and the blood coming from his head was trickling on to mine. The little boy looked into my eyes and what I saw...no words can describe the horror in those black eyes of his. Persilla rushed to my side and asked "Esy?! Whats wrong?!" all i could do in response is scream and cry in fear.
