Allison’s POV

(Bedroom)
Breathing deeply, my sight shake as I ran away from what used to be our home. Fearing for my
life, I glance back to where I came from every second to see whether the one who killed my
brother and father is running after me. Closing my eyes tightly, praying for my safety when a
hand reached out,
I woke up gasping for air, sweat rolling down my face due to the nightmare I just had. I can feel
the shaking of my hands as I reached for the alarm on the desk beside my bed.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, breathing deeply and dreading another day of school. I
let out a deep sigh as I slapped myself gently on both cheeks to wake myself up. I got ready and
did my routine before getting dressed.

(Classroom)
The bell rang signaling the start of first period, I listened attentively to Francine who was telling
me about her weekend. I laughed as she told me something funny. My laughter came to a
sudden stop as I heard the creak of the door, Elijah walked through it, offering me a comforting
smile as we made eye contact. I suddenly remembered the events of last night.
