Chapter 1: Visions Part 1

“Dude, I had the same dream again.”

“The one with the chick running through the forest?”

“Yea, only this time I got to see their faces.”

“Was the chick hot?”

“Does it matter?”

“Hell yea!”

“Then I guess she was, but I didn’t recognize any of them.”

“It’s probably just your imagination making your dreams fun and entertaining, since your life is so boring.”

“Ha ha ha, very funny Ryan.”

“Oh come on Drake, lighten up it’s your birthday.”

“Yea, I know.”

“That means 17 punches comin’ right up.”

“Ouch!” yelled Drake as Ryan got his last punch in.

“Alright Drake, see you at lunch.”

“Alright” said Drake as he walked away with his hand on his right shoulder.

Drake was walking towards his first class. Drake is a simple guy, but he is very fit for a guy his age. He is on the wrestling team. Drake is not very social. He tends to keep to himself even around his best friend, Ryan. He has medium short brown hair with a pair of hazel colored eyes, and tanned skin. Drake was now 17 with an average height of 5’8.

His best friend since grade school Ryan is more active and outspoken. He is also on the wrestling team. Ryan has light brown eyes, light brown hair, and light skin. Ryan was a small guy, not too strong but not too weak either. Ryan is 16 and his height is 5’7.

Drake’s class was at the end of the hall from where Drake and Ryan parted ways. The last bell rang and he started to run to class so he can slip in unnoticed by the teacher. As he approached the end of the hall, a girl in a dark brown cloak was there. When he stopped to take a good look at her, the girl disappeared. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the wall.

“I need to start eating breakfast before school.” Drake thought out loud.

“Mr. Milus, next time eat some breakfast and get to class on time” said Mr. Reliam.

Mr. Reliam is Drake’s World History teacher. He is almost 44 years old, has a lean body build, short dark brown hair, a dark brown goatee, which made him look younger, and brown eyes. Mr. Reliam began teaching before Drake even got a chance to sit down.

“Today’s lesson is about Egypt,” said Mr. Reliam.

The lunch bell rang.

“Finally, time for lunch” said Drake as if he were starving.

He met up with Ryan in the lunch line. The cafeteria is unlike any other high school cafeterias. The food was given out indoors and the students ate their food outside. The tables had parasols to block the sun.

“The pizza looks stale,” said Ryan as he picked up his slice of pepperoni pizza.

Drake didn’t respond.

“Hey, earth to Drake, woo hoo!” Ryan waved his hand in Drake’s face.

“Huh?” “Oh, sorry” said Drake snapping back to reality.

“You still thinking about your dream?” asked Ryan.

“I saw the girl” said Drake.

“Yea, and the guy on the dark horse” replied Ryan.

“No, Ryan, I saw the girl here at school” said Drake raising his voice.

“Ok, dude, relax.” Ryan tried to calm Drake down. “Where?” Ryan asked.

“Before my first class” answered Drake. “She disappeared when I got close to her.”

“Drake, you need more sleep,” said Ryan.

“Maybe, but—“ Drake was interrupted by the bell.

“I’ll see you at practice after school” said Ryan.

“Alright, later” confirmed Drake.
