Ophelia's pov:

I woke up this morning feeling brighter then ever. All I thought about was the moment I had with Elliott. I don't know what's up with him, he helps me but then throws me off. I decided to wear a long sleeve white shirt, which is one of my favorites, with a light colored coffee skirt.

I arrive to school, and I just mind my business and keep to myself, until someone tapped on my shoulder. "Heyy, are we like cool?" Elliott says. "Yea why wouldn't we be?" I respond. "Well, you know...." he continued to talk, but I spaced out, because I saw this one girl glaring at me, so I said my goodbyes and left.

I go through my classes as usual, and it's now lunchtime. The school had pancakes today, which were one of the actually good foods at this school. As I was going back to my seat after getting my lunch, the same girl that was glaring at me this morning , bumped into me and dropped her food on me, leaving syrup all over my white shirt. This is the worst, there's no way that was a accident.

"Oops I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there" she says. Of course she didn't mean it, how does she not see me standing there. What does this girl have against me. Everyone in the cafeteria started looking at me, I started to feel nervous, as I looked around. Some people even started laughing.

They all laugh at me, they all stare at me..... they all hate me. Tears started to form in my eyes, I hate this feeling. I froze, I didn't know what to do. I suddenly feel someone grab my wrist, and taking me outside of the cafeteria.

I lift my head up to see that it's Elliott. He says to me "I'm guess you have trouble with being stared at, or lots of attention". I stay quiet but shake my head yes. He pulls out both my hands, and gives me a towel. "Thank-" I couldn't even complete my sentence, when I looked up he was already leaving.

"Hey, are you okay? I saw what happened" this stranger says to me. I look up to see this guy, he was popular and his name was Diego. I didn't expect him to care, I always thought the popular people were jerks.

" yes I'm okay, thank you." I continued to talk to him, he's really sweet, I feel like a bitch for thinking that we was a jerk this whole time. He even gave me one of his shirts, because the syrup wasn't coming off.

School is now over, and I immediately head to the pond behind my neighborhood. Wow he really does come to this pond a lot. The silence seems so loud. He looks at me and says "who's shirt is that?". "Why do you ask?" I respond. "It looks familiar..." "oh well, it's from this guy named Diego, he gave it to me." Elliott suddenly gets up and says "He's a bad influence" as he walks away somewhere else. What is he talking about? Diego seemed very sweet. What's up with him?

I talked to Kimberly about my day, but she keeps trying to prove her theories. "Notice how you were both feeling watched, and hated in your nightmare and what happened today." She explains. It's probably a silly coincidence, why would nightmares come true anyways. "I'm pretty sure you're just trying to scare me" I say to Kimberly. "Okay sureeee, you're in denial" she teases me
