• Trying to pull away from his grasp she screamed. The scary man dressed in all black laughed while looking at her squirming to get free."Ah!" Hope had awoken from yet another nightmare the same from three weeks in a row. She climbed out of her bed, got dressed and went down stairs. On the bus ride to school she kept having flashbacks of her dream. " Hey Hope. What’s wrong?" her best friend Casie asked. "Huh? Oh nothing just a dream"," Is it that nightmare again? You know you might want to go to the counselor for this one." Screeeech. The bus came to a halt. Hope got off first without responding to Casie. She walked into first period with hesitation remembering that when her nightmare started that it was in this class. Throughout the whole time she kept on dreaming of what would happen if that was real. School went by with a breeze. Nightfall came and she feared to fall asleep. Trying to stay awake she suddenly fell asleep. Hope had a new dream. She screamed in pain as the knife pierced the back of her arm. The dream seemed so long and real. No madder how hard she tried Hope could not wake up from her dream. The next morning Hope's mom came into her room to find her that she would not wake up.
    That same night Hope had died. Casie read her phone and it was a voicemail from Hope's mother saying that Hope had died. Casie ran out of the class room into the girls bathroom. This has happened not long before with her other best friend. Casie didn't go to school for that whole next week. On Monday she woke up same as usual. She got on the bus in seat number five where she and Hope used to sit. When she walked into her first period class she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Then she got a very strange look from her teacher. Just then he got up. "Ah, Miss Linleey, how nice of you to be back here today we missed you the past week. I am so sorry about your friend Hope right? Well I have decided that of what happened a week ago that all the assignments you missed that I will give you one-hundreds for them", Mr. Lips had given her a strange smile after that. During lunch she sat alone. Then the boy she had a crush on scene like second grade walked up to her. He smiled then sat down across from her. "It is okay that I sit here right?", Jermey said with a polite and comforting smile. Casie nodded her head while taking a sip of her Dr.Pepper. Jermey hesitated before he spoke again. "Uh.... I am terribly sorry about your friend." She lifted up her head with a very worried and sad look. Jermey gasped at the sight on her wrist. There was a cut and it was bleeding. She quickly pulled her arm below the table followed by a napkin and she tied it around her wrist. Her stitches had reopened in some way. The next classes Jermey sat with Casie instead of his usual big group of trouble some friends. The day ended she had barley said a word. "Hun,, you need to stop morning over Hope what’s done is done. Now go get some sleep". Her mom kissed her head goodnight and turned off the light. Trying to pull away from his grasp she screamed. The tall man dressed in all black towered over her like a shadow. Casie woke up all sweaty and her right bicep was sore. She skipped first and spent it in the councilors office telling her that Hope had the dream she and her other friends Madison that died like Hope did. When it came to lunch time she forgot all about her dream and Hope. Jermey brought her some cake and told a few jokes. "Okay okay heres one, A Blonde and a Brunette jump off a cliff. Who hits the ground first?" "Uhm" Casie hesitated, "The Blonde?" "No. The Brunette because they blonde had to stop and ask for directions." They both laughed really loud and then all of a sudden it got real quiet at the table. Their eyes fell to the table. "Hey, scene the dance is in like a couple of days I wanted to know.....if.....you... eh...if you wanted to ya know go. with....me?" Jermey's eye brows creased in. "Ya. Sure." As she said this Casie blushed. For the next few day her dreams got worse, she went shopping for her dress. "I am so glad to see you are over this thing" Her mom told her with a smile on her face. She had woke up to find that she missed the bus and neither her mom or step dad was there to take her. So she called up Jermey and asked if he was at school yet and if she could get a ride to school. That night she had the same dream that Hope had the night before she died. In this dream she had was very weird. In her dream she was being chased by an evil blue chicken with forks as wings. Casie woke up and she was dripping with sweat. "Ugh Saturday and with nothing to do", Case thought while sitting up in her bed. Three hours later her cell phone rang. "Hello?" She answered."Uh hey is this Casie?" the voice on the other line asked. "Ha ya this is. Who is this?" "Oh hey I thought I had the wrong number. Oh yea this is Jermey." "Oh hey Jermey" she blushed as she said his name.” Can I help you?" "Ya actually you can. I wanted to know if you wanted to go to my football game tonight at our school?", Jermey said not sure of what to say. "Well hey what time is the game. 'Cause my mom don't get home till hmm like 6:30" "HA! The game starts at 5:30. Uh do you think you can call your mom and ask if like we can pick you up?" As he said that he also referred it to his mother and she said yes. They hung up then she called her mom and asked her if she can go to the football game. Casie and her mother spent a long time talking about who she was going with and how much money she would have needed to bring. So then she called back and told him that she could and wanted to know if after the game was over if they all could go to Brahms, and she could pay for it. So of course his mom said yes. So at 5:00 pm Jermey and his mom came and picked her up. It took 30 minutes to get there. Casie and Jermeys mom sat in the stands and cheered for him. Mr. Lips sat down on the other side of Casie. "Oh, good evening Casie. Did you finish your report on the human cell?" "Ya." Casie said not really wanting to talk to him. "Good." WAHOOOO!!!!! Everyone cheered as home won. After the game Jermey changed out of his foot ball uniform into something casual and comfy. They got to Brahms and his mom drove off saying she was going to pick them up in an hour. "So? Did you like the game?"Jermey asked” Ya, up until Mr. Lips sat next to me and started to ask freaking weird questions" "Like?" "LIKE have you finished your report and what cell is this and that it was extremely hard to concentrate. Jermey and his mom drove Casie home. He walked her up to the door and kissed her a good night. Casie went up to her bathroom and took a shower and got ready for bed. Just then after she had fallen asleep Mr. Lips snuck into her house and personally killed Casie because the nightmares didn't. No one knew who killed her.
