"NO. NOT NOW. NOT FREAKING NOW!!" I shouted as i woke up from that terrible nightmare. Palms were sweaty, pupils dialated with fear. "I dont wanna go back, i dont wanna..." my mom burst through the door.
"Cla- Oh... is it, "that dream" again?" She asked faintly, trying not to touch the topic. I nodded sadly. To me, that school was a complete nightmare. Everyone, and i actually mean, everyone; hates me. Even the freaking teachers hate me!!!
'Clarissa you're doing it wrong! Clarissa you're just being sensitive!' Clarissa this, Clarissa that. EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT RIGHT?!?! (That was um, actually kinda related to my life, all of this is; if im being honest)
i took deep breaths while my mom went to get things ready. I finally stopped shaking and got ready.
i brought my phone with me to school today, because my mom said i should call her if anything happened, plus, we were allowed to bring our phones to school to do "research".
--at school--
"Morning guys!" I called them, "Top of the mornin'" Basim announced, "Morning" Deepak and Adi said, "Jinx! Parrellel Jinx! Personal jinx!" They shouted at the top of their lungs. I laughed. "Where's Cecile, Samarth and Prisha?" I asked, "oh, they're in class" Adi replied with a small grin.
I nodded, "Guess what?" The three of them asked, i jolted my head forward to signal them to continue, "Your favourite teachers want to see you!" Deepak squealed in a high-pitched voice, i smiled at him while Basim covered his ears and Adi grimaced. I smiled brightly, "really???? Where?" I asked excitedly; practically jumping from my place.
"Class 7A. Now" i nodded and rushed off; yelling thanks to them as i ran off.
--Class 7A--
"Dan? Phil?" I yelled into a dark abyss, "You're here!" Dan cheered, i heard the door close, "Hi Phil!" I smiled innocently as the lights came on, "well arent you a fast one?" He joked.
"Sooo? Why'd ya call?" I questioned, "mission...up for it?" Phil asked, i jumped and said yes! "Of course, Sir's~ tell me my mission." "We need you to collect info on these people, got it?" Dan said, i nodded; listening carefully.
"Cempaka Ixora, Jhaiy Sharritta and....Shrut Silakari." Phil murmered the last name, "Pardon? The last name." I asked him to repeat, he hesitated a bit before saying, "Shrut. Shrut Silakari." I nodded, "are you alright Phil?" I asked, feeling pity because he seemed down and looked paler than usual.
"Heh, yeah kiddo; im alright.." he said, slowly seeming to faint. I looked at Dan. "Dan..?" I asked, shooting short glances from Dan to Phil. Suddenly, Phil fainted, falling quickly. "PHIL!!!" Me and Dan shouted and we rushed to his side. I checked his heartbeat. 'Its going fast, too fast' i told it to Dan's ear so Phil wouldnt hear and panic.
Wrong move. Dan started having a mental-breakdown; an existential crisis...
"Dan?" We heard a weak voice mutter, "Phil..?" Dan said teary eyed; "shh.. its ok Dan, im fine." He said weakly, Dan nodded and forced a smile while Phil continued on with whatever strength he had. "And Clar? Do you mind if i call you that...?" He breathed heavily i nodded, "heh...thanks, please just... do the research, ill be fine alright?" He comforted and soon fell into a deep sleep.
"Hey Dan?" I turned to Dan, "yeah?" "You taking Phil home and staying right...?" I asked, unsure whether he'd be angry cause i asked such a stupid question; he nodded, "replacements??" He nodded sadly again. "Noooo!" I cringed, Dan just suppressed a small laugh and carried Phil bridal style to the teachers staff room.
--bell ring--
'i better hurry!' And i ran off...
