I had just finished unpacking when Dana came in. Dana and I are best friends. We had been best friends since grade 1 and we told each other everything, except the exception. But there was a reason behind it and when the right time came I would tell her. Me and Dana had gone to the same elementary school, high school and we both decided to go to the same university. I was more into Engineering and she was into the Arts. She loved English and acting where as I was more of a logical person. Me and Dana were really different she was crazy and wild where as I mostly was a quiet person and sort of lived in a shell. But somehow me and Dana remained friends and it made me happy. Sometimes I wanted to come out of the shell but I was afraid.

"Sophie? Earth to Sophie," I suddenly heard Dana said.

"Yea," I said snapping out of my thoughts.

"Are you coming for dinner?" she asked.

"Naw, you and Connor could go, I'll just have something from the fridge," I said.

"Okay but are you sure?" she asked.

"Yea, totally", I reassured her with a smile. Connor and Dana had been going out for 2 years now. They were a very cute couple and they truly did belong with each other. Even though they did have fights. Connor never got mad if Dana was with me for a whole day as long as they talked and Dana didn't mind if Connor wasn't with her the whole day. They weren't the type of couple who needed to be with each other 24/7.

I opened the fridge and pulled out an apple, orange juice and some cookies from the cabinets. And I lay on my bed as I opened my book. The latest book I had been reading was Remember Me? By Sophie Kinsella,I was just at the beginning. I had been reading for what felt like a short hour but I guess I was wrong since the next time I checked the clock it was 12. I went to sleep. And that night I had that nightmare. I suddenly awoke and I was breathing hard. I got up and sipped some water. I slowly sat on my bad and pulled the bed sheets over me. I hugged myself as I cried because it hurt, a lot. The memory was too terrifying. Then I felt my eyelids slowly closing and I fell into a dreamless sleep.

We still had a week until the 1st semester started. That gave me more time to get organized and just do nothing for a while. The whole morning I organized my things and Dana's stuff since I knew she'd never clean it herself and she wouldn't mind me cleaning it. I had music to entertain me. I ate some lunch and got back to work after that. Dana had been away with Connor the whole day. I looked out the window and the weather seemed beautiful. So I left my room and went outside. Everyone was walking around and talking. I sat under a huge oak tree and listened to the song Skin by Alexz Johnson. Even though I had heard this song more than a million times I still loved it. It was a song that related to my life a lot but in a different way. Suddenly it started to rain. Everyone else started to run in the buildings but I…………..
