The school

At 12:30pm her plane landed in Chicago airport. While waiting at the carousel for her duffel bag Lucy noticed a guy standing holding a board with her name on it, apparently her parents didn’t trust her to find her own way to the school. Lucy collected her bags and followed the guy holding the name board out of the airport doors and into a stylish Mercedes Benz. Well she could say one thing about the school, they did have taste. It took forty five minutes for them to arrive at the school and the drive was spent sitting in silence, the driver hadn’t even bothered to put the radio on.

 

As she got out of the car and went round to the back of the car to collect her bags she noticed something which surprised her, she was standing outside the building from her dream,  how could she possibly have dreamt about the school before she had even seen it, it was impossible. It was as she was being led through the school by the dean, who she was told was to be called dean Walters that she noticed brochures about the school pinned to a small notice board, which must have been why she dreamt about the building before she had seen it, her parents must have shown her a school brochure. Yes that must be why.

As she was following the dean up a third flight of stairs Lucy suddenly lost her footing and before she knew what was happening she was heading over the banister, she would have gone over had it not been for a strong arm grabbing her around the waist at the last minute.

Lucy was shaking as she looked into the eyes of the boy who had saved her. As she looked closer at his face she almost screamed as she noticed who he was. He was the guy from her dream. As he was stood talking to the dean she took a closer look at his face and began to feel dizzy before she knew what was happening she saw the floor coming toward her.

When she woke up she had no idea where she was, it wasn’t until a plump woman with short brown hair wearing a white uniform walked toward her that she realized she must be in the nurses office. The nurse informed her that the shock of almost falling over the banister had caused her to pass out. Lucy listened to what the nurse was saying but inside she knew the real reason she had passed out.

The guy from her dream was here in the school. All she knew was that she had to get out of this office and track him down; she had to find out why she had dreamt of him before ever coming to the school. As she tried getting up from the bed the nurse placed a form hand on her shoulder and told her that she needed to rest, Lucy had no time to rest and as the nurse turned to deal with a petite girl laying in the bed next to her with what looked like a broken arm, she took the opportunity and ran to the door and out of the office.

 

She had no idea where she was going, all she knew was that she had to find the boy from her dream and find out what the hell was going on. She needed to find out if he somehow dreamt the same dream that she had had. She knew it was unlikely that he had had the same dream she had but what other explanation could there be. She was turning yet another corner and was stopped in her tracks, there he was. It seemed he had noticed her to as he began walking toward her. As he got within reach she grabbed him by the lapels of his school jacket and pushed him into an empty classroom.

Closing the door of the room she turned to the guy and noticed that he didn’t look at all concerned with the fact that a random girl had just pushed him into an empty room, hopefully he didn’t get the wrong impression. Before she could explain things to him the boy turned to her and with an angry hint to his voice asked her why she was here. She was about to come out with a sarcastic reply when he said “I told you not to come. What part of they’ll find you didn’t you understand?” Lucy was dumbstruck how could this guy possibly know who she was. Apparently he had noticed her look of absolute astonishment as he explained to her that his name was Kyle and he was a prefect at the school, oh and also that he was a psychic. He also asked her if she had managed to work on her abilities like he had taught her to. 

All Lucy could do was laugh, as immature as it made her look she didn’t know what else to do she had no idea what he was talking about she didn’t have any abilities. This was way too much creepy for her to handle, before she knew he had moved Kyle grabbed her “why do you look like you have no idea what I’m talking about? The last time we spoke you told me you had things figured out.” He said.

Lucy began to feel short of breath again and a sharp pain was working its way across her forehead, she was getting another one of her headaches. As the pain in her forehead increased Lucy turned to Kyle “I have no idea what you’re talking about I’ve never even met you before, well not until the dream i had last night!” she said

 

Kyle just looked at her and must have noticed the pain in her face as he simply said to her the headaches have come back haven’t they. As she nodded her head he turned her around so that her back was to his front and shoved a gag over her mouth. As she breathed through the gag she noticed the faint smell of something. She noticed that the more she breathed in the more tired she began feeling, it was at that moment she realized what the smell on the rag was, chloroform. It was as she began to feel like the world was slipping out from under her that Kyle whispered sharply in her ear, all she heard before she fell unconscious was Kyle saying the words its time you remembered.

The chapter was very good. You gave enough to bring the reader in and hold their attention. I like the accident and the open ending. Left the reader with questions and possibilities. Thank you for sharing the excellent chapter.
