Part 3 - Living a new life
Nightmare
"I'm home mom, dad!" I yelled.
"Mom? Dad? Are you home?"
I looked around to find the house completely empty, and what was worse was the dark coldness.
"Mom! Dad! Where are you?!" I yelled desperately.
I ran back outside and fell face forward in a puddle, which looked like it was just mud.
I wiped the substance of my face and took a closer look at it.
"B...B...Blood?!" I said with wide eyes.
"No, it can't be ... this ... this can't be theirs." I said trying to comfort myself.
I ran to the end of the street where there was a crossroads and looked straight ahead to find there was a car crash.
I got closer to the vehicles to find one of them was my parents'.
"No! Mom, dad! Wake up!" I yelled at them.
They were covered in blood, and it was like they were looking right at me.
"You ... left me ... behind. Mom, dad. Goodbye."
"No, why? Everything was fine this morning, why?!" I yelled inviting an answer which would never come.
"No!" I yelled crying.
"What's the matter?" Elena asked running in my room.
I was crying hard and couldn't find support, until I felt her arms around me.
"I ... I ... it's nothing." I said slowly.
"Nightmare huh?" she asked, already knowing the answer was yes.
"Yeah, but ... it looked so real." I said with sad eyes.
"What was it about? Telling about it always makes you feel better." she told me.
"It ... was about the day I lost my parents." I explained.
"I came home from school only finding my home empty. When I ran outside I fell in a puddle which looked like blood. Last I found a car crash and noticed my parents had died in that car crash." I said crying.
"I see. Well, don't worry about it too much. Nightmares are just imagination after all. They're never real." she said trying to comfort me.
"But ... what if it was real. That that was the way they got in coma." I said.
"Hm, well that is actually not to be solved. We don't know how they got in coma so right now that's just a theory." she explained.
"All we know is they got in coma and died in the hospital." she added.
"But right now, try to get some more sleep, it's almost time for you to get ready to go to school again." she told me.
"Ok, I'll ... try." I said.
Next morning
"Razor! ... Razor! ... Wake up Razor!." I heard a voice yell.
"ugh, ouch, my head hurts." I said.
"About time you woke up Razor, you'll be late for school if you don't hurry up." Elena said to me.
"This late already?" I thought "Ok mom, I'll be ready in a minute." I told her.
I got up, grabbed my favorite clothes, and headed for the bathroom. Sorry not going to tell too many details here. It just was a quick shower and got dressed. I headed for the kitchen where Elena had made breakfast for the two of us.
"Hurry up." she said. "You don't wanna be late for your first day of school now do you?" she added.
"No, I guess not;" I said.
I was still half asleep and didn't exactly want to go.
"You'll like the school, I'm sure of it." she said with a smile.
"Oh? I will?" I asked in confusion.
"Yes, I'm 100% sure of it." she smiled.
"Well for once, I guess I'm looking forward to seeing this school then." I said with a smile.
Right after breakfast we headed to her car and got in. I thought she wanted to break a speed record, I never had seen her drive that fast.
"Woa! Mom slow down!" I yelled.
"Oh, sorry I just didn't want you to be late." she said looking down.
"Don't worry, I still got plenty of time." I added.
I guess it wasn't surprising to see an officer come right next to us ordering us to get out.
I of course knew that we were going to get fined for this.
"Miss, can I see your papers please." he said in a rather harsh voice.
"certainly officer." Elena said.
After five minutes of looking in her wallet, it looked like because of the rush she had forgotten her driver's license.
"um ... I'm sure I had put it in here." she said rather sad.
"Ok, I'll have to ask you to get out of the car miss and come with me to the office." he said harsh again.
"Mom ... are these the papers you're looking for?" I asked holding out a driver's license.
"Razor. Did you take them out of my wallet?" she asked seriously.
"No ... you just forgot to pick them up when you were rushing out the house. I just picked them up and kept them with me." I said.
She looked a little embarrassed back then.
"Well, thank you then Razor, I'm sure we both know that we would've been in trouble if you hadn't." she said.
After checking the papers, the officer gave a warning and gave mom a ticket of $50.
"Well it could've been worse I guess." I said sighing.
"Yes, we're lucky. And I'm lucky to have you." she smiled.
At arriving at the school, which looked like a normal high school, we got out of the car and entered the building.
"Bah, this looks like just your average high school with no freedom." I sighed.
"Don't worry Razor." Elena said trying to get me in a better mood.
I looked at all the walls, the ceiling, floor, doors, lockers, in fact nothing escaped my sight.
"This place looks dull." I said rather bored.
"Just wait Razor, you'll like it once you're actually studying in the school." she said
"Yea, sure." I said sarcastically.
Elena sighed and just kept going to the principal's office.
"We're here." she said.
I looked at the door, trying to look trough it but couldn't.
"Looks like your average classroom door to me." I said.
"Stop complaining Razor!" she yelled.
I was surprised and shocked, it was the first time she yelled at me.
We entered the door after knocking and hearing a "come in."
"Welcome, how may I help you?" a rather young man said which apparently was the principal.
"good morning, we're here to enter Razor in this school." Elena told the principal.
"Ah I see. Well we're always happy to hear people want to enter here." he told mom.
I was distracted and kept looking at the walls, decorations and even outside the window, which apparently was more interesting than their conversation.
"So ... Razor," the principal started drawing my attention. "you want to come here to school huh?"
"I guess. My mom's the one that said I'd like it here." I told him.
"I see. Well I think your mother is going to be right, you'll like it here." he told me.
"Like I've never heard that before." I thought.
"You'll be sitting in class 6A for this school year." he told me.
"Here's your list with what class you have at what hour." he said while handing me the list.
"Um thanks." I said rather unsure.
"Well then, Razor, I'm off to work now, have a nice day at school." Mom said to me.
"Ok, have a nice day at work too." I said smiling.
And there it started, my first day at school again and feeling rather unsure about the situation but knowing I have to push trough.
"Well time to go meet my class." I said encouraging myself.
