Beep-beep-beep! The alarm , of my clock was the sound of thunder in my dream. A wonderful dream, where the sky was blue and the flowers danced in the wind. Not a worry, nor care in the air. Until the air turned thick and the sound of thunder woke me. I slowly opened my eyes. 6:00am the alarm clock read. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, then stretched. Thinking of the long day ahead of me I rolled my eyes. The thought of having see people at my school made me cringe.
After I got out of my sleepy thoughts, I started getting ready for school. I grabbed a granola bar and walked out the door behind my mom. I got in the car and put my seat belt on. My mom looked at me with a caring face, " don't forget never make eye contact, if you don't want to know " she said in a soft voice. "I know mom " I respond. "Somtimes i cant help it though. I dont want to know ,and sometimes I have to. People think I'm rude if I don't look them in the eye . If only they knew why it kills me to do such a easy task."
As we pulled up to the school my mom gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Try and have a good day today rayne, and tell your friend Rosie I said hi", she said. "Okay mom I'll see you later" I answered. As I waked up to the front entrance Rosie my best friend ran up to me. Wide eyed, and started talking complete nonsense as she always does. As I walked to my locker to put my backpack up she followed me ,talking about how she had a dream she was an ice cube. Rosie is kind of on the weird side. She's my bestfriend. She is a colorful character ill tell you that. Her short pink hair ,and her bright clothes make her even more colorful. Although me and Rosie are the exact opposite of each other we get along really well. Not to mention she's the only person at this school who's not completely intimidated by me. I don't understand why people find me intimidating, I don't talk to anyone besides Rosie, and I don't wear clothes that don't draw attention, I keep to myself.
After she told me about the ice cube dream she looked at me and said, in a very eager tone " can you people tell me please I just want to know how long i've got." My heart sunk. I turned the other way, and I muttered," why Rosie ,I don't want to have to see you lifeless..." Besides my parents Rosie was the only person that knew of my gift the gift that was really just a curse.
