SARAH BROOKE'S POV

Walking around the old street as usual I tried to think of what or who could have killed me

Heck I didn't remember what had happened a few days to the accident

I just groaned as I crossed the street, I didn't even notice the old car coming

Before I could run away, the car hit me

"Ahhhhh", I screamed

As I opened my eyes I saw I was in my room

My mum quickly came to the room

"Honey what's wrong?", she asked worried

"Just a bad nightmare mum, nothing to worry about", I said smiling

"The same ones", she asked with a sad smile

"Nah, just a movie I watched yesterday with the gang", I lied

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah yeah, but could you sleep at my side like old times",I asked with my puppy dog eyes

"Sure honey", she laughed getting into the bed and covering us both

★★★★★★

As I entered class I thought about that dream again, it all just didn't make sense

When I was little I had dreamt about myself dying, and then my parents watch the news on my death

But those people I saw weren't my parents,yet in the dream I knew they were my parents

I had told my mum before but when we went to the Catholic Church to see father John and told him about it all he did was send us away

The same thing had happened at the 4 other churches I went to

Since then I and my mum decided to ignore the dreams, it was just a dream after all, a reoccurring dream of my death

I knew my mum was worried but she didn't just know what she could do

I had the dream once when I was little then it left,I vaguely remembered but then on my 18th birthday it came back with full force

in the dream i was dressed in an old fashioned way, with the black and white tv showing the reporter at the scene of the crime

Probably some horror shit I watched when younger traumatised me

"Mrs Young, Mrs Young", the teacher yelled and all heads turned to me

"Yes yes?", I asked quickly

Clearly I had zoned out with all these weird thoughts of mine

"Care to tell the class how reproduction in plants occur?", he asked frowning

I swear this man had something evil on me

"Well it has to do with the ovary?, pollen grain?, something?", I said unsure

"So you have clearly failed that, now get ready for detention today", he said turning back to his desk

"Urgghhhhh", why can't I just be a nerd, yes I want to be a nerd

I hate getting detention and failing classes so being a nerd won't be too bad ya know

★★★★★

"Sarah do you wanna hang out at mine today?", Brooke said walking towards our lunch table

All i did was show her my detention slip, then I dropped it back on the table and proceeded to start eating my pizza

"What did you do this time", she asked laughing as she settled down on a seat

"I zoned out again"as I said that the gang walked towards the table

By the gang I meant the hot footballers and also my co-cheerleaders

And not all,just the most popular, in Jackson High we had two popular tables

Yes two, mainly because the tables couldn't fit us all and those guys weren't our close friends

So the gang consists of Me, Sarah Young,the head cheerleader, Brooke Dallas, The Senior Class President, Alex Haywood, smartest in the class, probably going to be valedictorian, Brian Woods, Quarterback of the football team, Cole Darwin, the football captain, yeah the captain isn't the quarterback in our school,Linda Jones, the assistant to the head cheerleader and Jessica,the head dancer of our school

We have been friends since middle school, and well we are the populars

"Hey Sarah", Brian said ruffling my hair as the sat down at my side

"Hey idiot didn't I tell you to stop that?", I replied coldly

"What peed in your pants?", Linda asked as she giggled

"Detention, detention peed in my pants for the 3rd time this week", I said groaning

"Hey bitch", Jessica said as she sat down

No she's not Regina from mean girls, but she is mean

Anyways this is the stupidest girl I have

Meaning she's my bestfriend

"Hey cunt", I said with a sinister smile

"You know what my cunt needs?", she asked

"What?", Brian asked looking towards her direction

"Let me show you"

She leaned towards me and smiled, for a minute I thought she was about to kiss me, she was an idiot after all

But then she grabbed my once discarded pizza which was half eaten and stuffed it in her mouth

Everyone at the table started laughing so hard, looking at the others in the cafeteria they all looked at us wondering why these dimwits were laughing

Why can't they just live their lives and not care about ours

We may be popular but we ain't the disciples of Jesus, why the fuck do they keep looking up to us like we're are some Gods

"I see why you got detention", Jessica said bringing me back to reality

"I see what your cunt needs", I replied

"So...when last did you have that dream", Cole asked quietly, so only those at the table would hear

"Yesterday night, it happens almost everyday now", I scoffed opening my juice box

One thing about our school's popular group, us

We are the best of friends, vain or not we have each other's backs

Yeah the boys do sometimes steal assignments from nerds but other than that we're cool most of the time

And we've been friends since middle school, I trust them all with my life

"How did the visit to the Catholic church downtown go?", Linda asked

"Like usual they sent me away immediately"

"Well we have some great news for you", they said smiling

"Which is?", I sipped some amazing grape juice

"We found a witch", Jessica said smiling

That got me spitting out my juice immediately

"What?!!", I yelled

Everyone in the cafeteria turned to look at me

"Errr a new Gucci bag?!, you didn't have to", I said laughing awkwardly

Some kids looked at us with jealousy thinking I had actually gotten a Gucci bag while others looked with disgust

"What?!", I whisper yelled

"Its very strange that the Fathers keep sending you away so maybe its an evil spirit", Linda said fast

"It wants to first confuse you then kill you", Cole added

"We researched this yesterday while you were in detention, we want the best for you". Jessica concluded

"Thanks guys", I smiled "so where is this w-witch", I stammered a little

"In Michigan"

"So next week after graduation we are going for a little tour at Michigan", Alex said for the first time since lunch started

"I really really love you guys", I teared up abit

"Yeah yeah now before break ends I'd like to eat a little", Linda said

Every laughed but agreed

We ate the rest of our lunch in silence

I knew everyone was scared and worried about what they were getting themselves into because of me, but then they just wanted me to be alright
