The Nightmares and New School

It was midnight. I couldn't see anything. It was all dark and black. I chose to sit still where I woke up and not moving anyway. But, I felt like someone was watching me. I shrugged and stood up. I ran to an undecided place. Then, I saw a light coming towards me. I stopped and stay still, but when I peeked over my shoulder, a shadow was following me. I ran to the light and...

"ARGHH!!!!!"

I open my eyes and I find myself in my room, on my bed. Everything is just the same. Bright world is coming back to me. Maybe I know why I got insomnia back then. Cause if I sleep, this kind of nightmare is always coming to me. I hate it so much. I glance at my clock that's hanging in front of me. It's 6. I decided to just wake up. Not wanting to remember about the nightmare, I grab a towel and my new school uniform. I go to the bathroom and start taking a bath while humming a song. I got plenty of time to my school time, so I'll just wash my hair. After I'm done, I go out from the bathroom wearing my uniform. I hate to admitt this, but I cannot wait to see how will my school go. Will it be the same as the old one?

Just then, my mom call me from downstairs. "ZENDAYA! WAKE UP!" she shouts. "YES MOM I'M AWAKE! I'VE DONE PREAPARING TOO!" I shouts back. "From now on, you'll go to Saint Paul High School, baby. It's near. You don't have to wake up that early." Mom walks upstair and go inside my room, where I'm combing my hair. "Yes, mom. But, I want to. I'm just simply arriving at school when nobody hasn't come, and go home after everyone is gone. That's what I always do." I mutter. "Okay, if that's what you want." Mom say to me and smile.

"Go downstairs for breakfast. When you're done combing, of course." She say again and leave. I continue combing my hair. My hair is pretty long. It has it's own magical touch. My hair is basiccaly brown. But, what makes it magical is that it has higlights—BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS—. I know right? It's pretty cool. I'm done doing my hair into a braid. Then, I grab my bag and put the books I'll need this whole day in it. I swing it onto my shoulder and walk down the stairs.

"Morning mom, dad, Jason." I approach the sitting family in the dining room. "Morning." Only Jason reply my greeting. "Great. Morning, JASON." I say. "Morning, honey." Mom and Dad say together. I giggle. "MOM! Fried rice again? Like, seriously? We've been eating fried rice since... forever!" I heard Jason whine. "Just face the fact that mom can't cook anything beside fried rice, Jason." I simply answer him with a smirk. "Shut up, witch." Jason reply and stab my tummy with his finger. "OW! OW! OKAY! STOP!" I say. It's not hurting me. It tickles. And I hate it.

Jason chuckle and continue eating. "So, tell me about it." Jason suddenly crack the silence. "Tell you about what?" I ask him. "About going to the same school as me, your popular and handsome older brother?" Jason ask again, this time, clearly. "Hmm... I just can't wait to see what's Saint Paul looks like, and I want to see how is your friend's reaction when they know that this cute and pretty first grader, me, is actually your younger sister. They might not believe me. I'm lots lots prettier. Hehe." I say. He glare at me.

"Owh, come on. I'm popular enough to make you more popular." Jason say to me. "I'll make sure I'm popular in a GOOD way. Not in the BAD way like you." I say and let out a low chuckle. "Hey, hey. Even if I enter some group, like the bad boy group in my school, it doesn't mean I'm a bad boy too." Jason say to me. "Yes, yes, sir." I say to him. "Oh yeah, I will come to your class every lunch and you will always have to eat with me and my group. Unless you eat with the girls, it's fine with me. But, if you're alone, or the guys ask you to have lunch with you, just say that you have plans to eat together with me and my group. And it's best to keep it a secret about you're my sister. They'll use you for revenge." Jason say to me.

Sometimes, he may be annoying and fussy. But on times like this, when I can anytime be threaten, or anytime be harrassed, he'll always protect me. He never wanted for me to get hurt. I love him so much. And I think he loves me too.

He has to, he's my brother.

"I'm grateful to have a brother like you." I say. "Thank you." He say and smile warmly. We continue to eat and I'm the first one who's done. "I'll leave now." I say. They all nod and I leave. I'm walking to school, because like you know, it's pretty near. On my way to school, I find a few girls who also use the same uniform as mine, so I decided to approach them. "Hi there." The tallest girl say to me. "Hi! I'm Zendaya. I'm the first grader." I say. "Oh, we're the first grader too, nice to meet you. I'm Glenda. Have you seen your class on the internet?" The girl with a blonde hair ask me. "Yeah, of course. I'm 10A." I say. "Oh, we're on the same class!" Glenda say to me.

"By the way, I'm Saphire. But you can call me Saph." The tallest girl say. "I'm Joce. J-O-C-E. Pronounce it Jows." The shortest one with the cutest smile say. "And I'm Qierra. You can call me Q." The one with a messy style say. I smile at them."Well, we arrive early, so, wanna get to the library?" Glenda ask me. "Sure." The others say. I also nod. We walk down the hallway and corridors, which everyone of them is identical. I think I can't come back from the library to my class without them.

"Here we are. Our library is a building you know?" Q ask me. 'Yeah, I check it up on the internet." I answer. They all smile. Wow, I got friends pretty fast. They're nice, too. "Oh yeah, I heard that Black and his gang are going to the library today. They got detention, I think." Joce say. "Black?" I ask. "Yeah, The Dangs' gang leader. He's hot." Saph tell me. "The Dangs?" I ask again. "I know it's a little ridiculous." Glenda say. I know now! Jason's gang is The Dangs. Owh...

"Look at that! 4D's coming this way!" A shout to the whole library as soon as we got in frightened me a bit. "4D?" I ask in confusion. "Yeah. that's us." Glenda say. "Q's the leader." Joce add. "Actually, ATTENTION!" Q shout once at a time. How loud... "From now on, 4D will be 5D. There's a new kid in school named Zendaya. She's from now on Z." Q announce. My mind went blank. That's right. She mention my name. So, I'm a member now? "Q, I'm a member?" I ask Q who's smiling. "Yes. You're pretty, and from what I see, you're rich and smart. And I assume that you have a good kind of heart." Q say to me.

"And, from now on, you'll do everything with us. And, no worries, we'll never touch your things if you don't like it. And you can keep your privacy, no need to tell us. You'll go to lunch with us. When you like a boy, we'll get you to know him. Only introduction, the rest, you do it by yourself, but if you need elp, we'll absolutely hep you." Glenda say. I smile. "LOOK! LOOK! THAT'S THE DANGS!" Saph say. Shouts, for exactly. 4 boys walk in from outside the library. The one who walk in front of everyone, (who I assume is Black) is tall, has dark hair, and well-built body. The boy on his left is Jason (I don't want to describe him). 

The one on his right has tall body, but not taller than Black, blonde hair, and also well-built body. And the one who's walking behind Black, has a fair skin and not-so-well-built body with dark brown hair. But he's pretty hot. "That guy who walks in front is Black. the one on his left is Jason. The other one on his right is X. And the other one on his back is Greg." Saph explain. "Owh... They're pretty hot. Except Jason." I say and let out a low chuckle. "WHAT? JASON IS THE HOTTEST!" Q exclaim loudly. "Y-yo-you like him?" I ask. Q blush lightly.

"A-an-anyway! Let's approach them." Q say. "Sure." Glenda say and lead us to their seat. I follow them and sit next to Joce. "You just sit next to Jason, so you know how hot he is!" Q say and pull me and sitted me next to Jason. Okay. That's weird. And awkward. Jason let out a low chuckle. "Hi, Z." Jason say. "Hi, Jay." I reply. "You know each other?" Joce ask me. "Sort of." Me and Jason say together. "Jinx!" I say. "Childish." Jason exclaim. I lean in and whisper something on his ear. "Anything but that." He say. "Oh yeah, first graders, may I ask you something?" Black ask to us. "What?" Jason ask him bak. "Jay, you're not first grader." Greg say.

"Whatsoever." He roll his eyes. Greg giggle. "Do you want to sit with us on lunch?" Black ask. "Sure, why not?" I say. "Absolutely YES!" the others 5D exclaim. "Hey, they're your friends?" Jason ask me. "Yeah, bro." I say. Jason chuckle. "You got new friends already. That's great. I'll take back what I say. You will always have to sit with us the whole lunch." Jason say again. "WHAT? BUT WHY?" I shout. "Shut up. It's library." Jason say again. "Sorry." I apologize. "Why?" I ask him. "No reason." He state. I don't believe him.

"No faith on you, baby." I say. "You're always like this. Trust me." Jason say. "And stop calling me baby." He added. The others keep silence and looking at us because our lovey dovey act. He lean in and whisper smething, slowly and soulfully. A trustable tone. "HELL NO!" I exclaim and slap his chest playfully. "I'm being serious." Jason say. I blush madly. "Hate you." I say to him, looking down on my feet. "Yeah, love you too, sis." Jason say in a  low tone, so no one could hear it.

"Black likes you, Z."

Damn it. 

-x-

The school has start. I am on my seat in the class 10A. I seat near to the others 5D members. Well, they're not the only ones I know now. The girl sitting next to me is Claire. She's a nice girl. And the one who sits on the very back, who looked like a nerd is Blaire, her twin sister. But, eventually, Blaire loves that kind of dressing. It comforts her. 

It was Math class when the lunch bell suddenly rang. I almost jump off my chair. "I'll see you again on the next period after lunch. Do not ditch. Okay?" Ms. Robin say. "Yes ms!" Everyone say together. "Hey, Z! Let's go to 3rd grade." Q say. "Wait. I'll text Jason first. Let's just meet at the cafetaria." I say. They nod and left the class. I sit on my seat, opening up my bag, looking for my damn phone. It's nowhere to be found.

But, well! HERE IT IS! I found it and text Jason. 

To : Bro :) 

Let's meet at the cafetaria.

From : Bro :)

Sure. Okay.

I stand up from where I sit and walk outside the class. This should be interesting. Pretending we're not siblings. We can be misjudged. But Jason said it's not ending that way. It should be alright. As long as no one knows. I started thinking why did he choose The Dangs when many other kingkas group wanted him. That's super weird.

I am too much thinking. I bump into someone and drop her book. Her? His actually. "Ooh, I'm so sorry. Let me help y... Black?" I ask. "Yeah. Hi, Z." Black say again. I was looking down to my feet when a girl on skate suddenly bump into Black. His books were once again on the floor. The girl shout her apology but keep on moving. She didn't even look back.

Now look at us. Because she bump into Black, Black accidently hit me. I am now on the ground, my back is leaning on the wall and Black is above me, both of his hands are on the wall, withstanding his weight so he doesn't weigh me. I. AM. DAMN. FUCKING. RED. RIGHT. NOW. 

Black lean in and lean in and lean in until his face is just inches away from mine. All I can do is shut my mouth and be quiet. "B-B-Black?" I finally found a courage to say something. Black looks like he's just came back from whatever his thoughts are. "S-so-sorry." Black say to me and I nod. "Let's go to the cafetaria. I think everyone will be looking for us. We walk down the hallway together and do some little chats. This kind of atmosphere is enjoyable. Black is a kind person, and he's hot too. What so wrong about liking him? But, I then realized something that I wish I never see. I saw a tatto.

And that tatto is a writing.

"TAKEN"

That word hit me to the center of the earth. He is taken. Okay, I should just forget about liking him. "Z? Z? Z!!!" Black call me and wave his hands in front of my face. "Sorry. I got lost." I say. "Well, what are you thinking of? Why're you looking at my tatto?" He ask me. "My sister force me to put this tatto in my arms." He explain. WAIT! SISTER? HE'S NOT TAKEN? Maybe I should give it a chan-

"She say that I need to because of my girlfriend is over protective. It'll make her happy." 

Forget it. Damn.

I smile awkwardly. "Let's just go to the cafetaria. Don't make Jason wait. He never liked waiting." I say to him. I look into his eyes. It express something that I don't understand at all. "Stop talking about Jason." He mumble. "Excuse me?" I ask, smiling playfully. He blush lightly. Everyone might not notice it, but I do. "Stop talking about him. I don't like it." He say. This time, clearly. He's jealous. Absolutely.

HE'S DAMN FUCKING JEALOUS, GOD, THANKS.
