Stepping into class, I quickly take my seat. I look over my shoulder to see if Terrance showed up today which he didn't. Its been a little over two weeks since I've seen or heard from him.

I stopped by his house but no one answer. Ed and Lorraine did the same and found out that he moved out. They figured that he followed their orders and moved out of the house as well as our town but not me, something told me that he was still here maybe staying at a friends house or a relative.

When the teacher walks into class everyone quiets down and finds their way back to their seats.

"Today class we'll be reading about the the history of the civil war that took place on Honey Hill back in 1864" Mrs. Hatch tells us as she begins passing some books out. When she reaches me and hands me my book I grab it and look down at her hand.

Her skin looked pale and the flesh on her fingers looked as if they belonged to a rotten corpse. Looking up at her, I make eye contact with the dead bride causing me to scream and drop the book.

"What's wrong with you?" One of the students asks.

"She's crazy remember" Naomi, the caption of the volleyball team chimes in.

"Shut your mouth Naomi" I say growing angry, since I got back to school she always made comments that regarded to me being in the mental hospital. I don't even know how she knew about it but she did and always brought it up.

"What its true isn't it? That's why you didn't come to school for those weeks right?" She asks. I look over my shoulder and glare at her trying to control my anger as well as my thoughts.

"I knew it was, I heard she was descendants of the Andersons, my mama told me that the whole family had mental issues"

"That's enough Naomi" Mrs. Hatch says.

"No its not, I don't think she should be attending public school if she's imagining things that aren't there am I right?" I hear a few mumbled yeses from some of the classmates.

"Shut your mouth right now" Mrs. Hatch warns, Naomi stands out of her seat and continues on with this. I grip tightly onto the sides of my chair and try blocking her out. The harder I grip the faster my heart beats, my hands begin to grow warm and I get a weird tingling feeling throughout my whole body. I shut my eyes tightly and try to calm myself as best as I could until the windows of the classroom shatter causing all of the students to scream and duck.

The kid sitting beside me gets up and asks me if I'm okay, I just look at him and grab my backpack. I quickly run out the classroom and down to the main office.

After a 30 minute wait Lorraine finally walks inside the office, I waste no time getting up and running over to her. She hugs me tightly as I cry into her chest.
