Aricia Seldom, a teen girl in her sweet sixteens, lives a simple and Not-So-Adventurous life...
"We". I instantly turned around, but could spot no one. "We", another whisper, right in my ear.
What was happening? The whole corridor was empty, but I could still hear whispers? That too in my ear?And why did the "We" sound so familiar? And, most importantly, why was the corridor empty!?
Then I finally spotted a human. He was leaning against my locker, with his back facing me.
"Hey!" I shouted.
No reaction.
I went near him and tapped on his shoulder. Still no reaction.
"Can you hear me?", I asked loudly. The boy straightened himself and finally turned around to reveal his face.
"Harry?" how did I not recognize him! That blonde hair was obviously him! "What are you doing in front of my locker?", I asked in confusion.
Harry just stared at me, no expression on his face. I got slightly nervous. I mean, it was Harry after all.
I raised my hand to tap on his shoulder again. But as soon as I touched him, he turned into ashes and blew away with the wind.
"HARRY!", I cried out, with my voice a mixture of shock and terror. Then suddenly, I heard an animal growl behind me. I slowly turned back, and saw a huge, ferocious dog standing on six legs!
My eyes widened in horror as the dog- No, scratch that- Monster, came running, ready to pounce on me. I tried to run, but it seemed like my legs were stuck to the ground, and I couldn't even move an inch! I was helpless! So all what I did was, scream,"AAHHHHHHH!"
My eyes instantly flew open as I gasped and woke up. I switched on the bed lamp and grabbed my water bottle.
After drinking a few gulps of water, I checked my mobile screen, 3:10 am. It's not like I believe in devil hour or anything, but that dream was so terrifyingly weird, that I jumped even at the merry sound of the crickets.
Relax Ari, it was just a dream, I comforted myself. Taking deep breaths, I switched off the lamp and finally felt asleep after two hours of flinching at every sound.

"Are you sure that you are okay?", Steph looked at me with concern.
"I am all right Steph", I mumbled as I dipped the French fry in ketchup.
"You don't look so. Take my advice and have some rest in the medical room".
To be honest , the idea of resting seemed pretty comfy. I mean, last night was such a mess that I could hardly sleep properly. So here I was, with swollen eyelids and dark circles under my eyes. But I obviously didn't say that to Steph.
"I am okay. Now, you were going to tell me all about that date thing", I reminded her.
Steph's face lit up immediately. "Right!", she said excitedly. "So, Ken and me were arranging the books in the library, when all of a sudden he asked, 'Hey, you wanna hangout in the ice cream parlour someday? With me?'", Steph mimicked Ken's accent perfectly . "And I was like, 'Yeah, sure!'. But oh my god, my heart that time, only I know what I was going through ". She placed her hand on her chest and pretended to faint.
