The ribbon from Emilie's hair fell to the ground as she fled the school. Her best friend June was waiting for her, and she was already late. Her shoe-lace came untied, and Emilie tripped on the grassy hill. She rolled down the hill in a flutter. Papers, pencils and books flew everywhere.
Emilie woke in a hurry and found she was sweating. What did the dream mean? Emilie realized that whenever she had a dream, it meants something. Of that whatever happened in the dream would actually happen. June though it was wierd, but Emilie knew it was cool.
Emilie got out of bed, slid on her tweety bird slippers, and shuffled into the bathroom. She looked at her reflection and shuddered. How had she truned into who she was? Before she had started college, she was the shy girl with straight A's. Now, Emilie was the preppy, popular chick who sat int eh back and texted her friends.
Emilie ignored her inner question and washed her face. Suddenly, ther was a knock on her window. Emilie found this strange because she was on the second floor. She waltzed to the window and opened the curtains. At the ground was Emilie's crush. His name was Zeke. He had the slightest mohawk, and a little brown hair on his chin. She looked ount and he said,
"Emilie, Emilie, let down you hair."
"Oh, shut it Zeke. If you want me to come down, just text me!" Emilie yelled.
"Fine, but it's much harder to be romantic, funny and charming while texting."
"Just go away, I'm not pretty yet." Emilie closed the curtains and turned to her closet to choose a stuning outfit. Emilie concidered her options. It was mid-July, and it was supposed to rain. Emilie took her plaid mini- skirt and the red tank top with gold swirls on the side. It was perfect. Emelie slid the outfit on and looked at her shoes. The black ballet flats were good, but then the rain. Emilie went with the bright gold slides.
All of a sudden, Emilie's phone vibrated. Emilie looked at the screen. An unknown number. Well, people did always admire her from afar. She read the text.
Don't go meet Zeke. He is planning revenge for when you cheated on him with Jake. He has a gun. You'll be safer with me.
-I'm watching you-
