Now to add, I had quite a strange dream.

In my dream, I saw a woman, about 30 years or old, wearing a red jacket with blue jeans and a purple scarf. She was staring at me with tears and despair in her eyes, but there was one more thing for sure, love. She kept gazing at me until, all of a sudden, a bolt of lightning tore across the sky. The wind was sighing and thrashing in the treetops. It seemed like it was 8:30 p.m., and the moon was abnormally large and had a luminous glow. I could sense it was about to rain.

In an instant and quite unexpectedly, a grim-looking man arrived. He was in a hurry or something, and he insisted that the woman speed things up and get moving. As expected, a cold shower came pouring down. The man, now getting restless, told the lady to move. The lady kissed me on my cheeks and went away somewhere in the dim light of the moon. Just after the woman left, the man came rushing back to me, and to my surprise, he too kissed me, on my forehead, and dashed back into the gloom. When the man came back, he kept something in my hand, something cold it was, but I couldn’t recall what.

The light of dawn seeped into my room. I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. I stretched a bit, turned on my morning playlist, took a quick shower, and got dressed. I had some bacon, eggs, and a muffin for my breakfast, and then, like every day, I left for school. I was in the middle of my senior year, which turned out to be quite decent for me.

My school, Elks academy, was not too far away from my place, and I usually preferred walking my way there. I took my backpack and advanced to my school. The blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze. When I reached the gates, I could see three unfamiliar men coming out of school at a fast pace. They all were tall and muscular. They walked past me at once, and behind them came a girl with brown hair who crashed into me all of a sudden. Our eyes met for a second, which was enough for me to notice her gorgeous set of blue eyes. Now she was someone I could go out on a date with, and she would probably not say no to me cause you know, I am good-looking and all. (I know looks aren’t everything, but I have them just in case.) But the most awkward thing that happened next changed my mind.

The next second, with her eyes fixed on the strange mark on my wrist, trembling with fear, she bolted away like a horse.
