"Bree! Get up!" my mom yells as she opens my door with a loud click. I jolt awake, emerging from a deep sleep. Holding onto a fragment of the dream, I groan loudly to show my displeasure. But, as usual, she ignores me. I try to get the will to get up, but I just lay in bed.

I roll out of bed and groggily get my clothes and walk into the bathroom across the hall. I throw on jeans, an Inuyasha tee shirt, and hooked my State Alchemist pocket watch onto my pants and stuff it in my pocket. A few months ago I got it for my birthday. Best present ever! I also throw on an awesome avengers fitted hat. It was black, with the avenger symbol and visor in red. Another awesome present from one of my friends. I wash my face, get dressd, and try to tame my slightly frizzy/curly hair with a straightener. Man, I really need to stop going to bed with my hair wet.

I grab my phone, headphones, laptop, and my iPod throwing my earbuds in my ears and listen to Two Steps from Hell. Running down stairs, I stuff my things into my army green backpack off the kitchen table and grab a pop tart to eat in the car. Yeah, I was like Thor! I love pop tarts!

"Dad!" I call through the house, hearing booming noises coming from the rec room at the side of the house. Walking down the hallway, I found him training with his p9ox. "Dad!" I yell more loudly than before. His head snaps towards me slightly startled. "We gotta go or we'll be late again!" I didn't really mind being late to French class, but my mom would flip if she finds out.

"Yeah, go get the car started and I'll be right there." I grab the keys off of the washer next to the rec room and start to the garage. There, I was greeted by a blue shetland sheep dog.

"Hiya Shelby Delby." I say to him, who answers with the most adorable little yip. I grab my gortex vasque boots off of the self and quickly tie them up. Walking outside, I head towards the black truck. The street was fairly quiet, line with houses of all shapes and sizes. And that's when I slip, falling on my butt and slide down the slanted driveway. Only now do I realized, it was snowing. Big flakes swirl down and covered the land in white. I start the car and wait inside, putting on the seat warmer and wait for dad to get his butt out here. Here's the thing, I'm still a freshman. But I was working on my Driver's Ed! I shall roam the streets free one day! The car door suddenly opens, making me jump.

"Let's go!" My dad announces as he throws my black leather jacket in my face.

"Yeah thanks dad! Really appreciate it!" I say with as much sarcasm as I could muster. He starts laughing as he drives away from our house. Great, another day of school…

The day mainly consists of boring, tedious and more mind-numbing classes. Yeah I'm in honors classes that are kinda interesting, but mostly everything was stupid. Like science! I hate it with all of my being! First of all, I don't get any of the things he talks about and second, how are we going to use this in life! Is it going to help us get a job? Nope! In a nutshell the day was ordinary, except for after school.

I run over to my best friend house that's across the street from mine. Orange, red and blue cover the outside, which almost looks like the broncos with added red trim. Bursting though the wooden door, my eyes adjust to the whiteness of her narrow hallway.

"Kate, I'm home!" I shout as I take off my boots.

"This ain't your freakin house!" Kate yells from her room. I tiptoe down the hall like a ninja, but she throws a pillow at my face once I was around the corner. "Don't act like you own the place!"

"So do you want to study or what!?" I ask at her, jumping on her bed next to her.

Kate and I have been best friends ever since the third grade. We feel like sisters, telling each other secrets that we would never share with our parents. Being there for each other. Yeah, she was my one friend that I could completely trust.

She sighs and gets her notes from our honors global studies. The assessment was on disease in Africa, and we have to answer questions orally…in front of the whole class. Kate and I are so paranoid about it, so we are studying together.

"Ok, so he said if we say 'like' or 'um' three times; he's going to take a letter grade." Kate begins.

"What?! That's so unfair!" I mean come on! I know he hates people saying um or like but isn't this taking it too far?!

"I know! It's part of our culture!"

"Don't forget mention social media."

"Ok, so let's try to go…" she looks at her watch, "five minutes without saying like or um…GO!" Kate can totally do it if she thinks about it. But I can't. Half the time I don't even know that I'm saying until she points at me accusingly. I screamed so many times that night…

"No! Jenner discovered why the cow maids were immune to small pox! He didn't invent penicillin!" Kate explains to me, laughing.

"Can't I just say moo to him?" I whine. She laughs hysterically. "But that would be freaking embarrassing in front of everyone." I add.

"If only we could talk to him one on one for the exam. Like in the hallway."

"Pft! Yeah, everybody's listening to that assistant teacher and they suddenly hear 'MOOO!' out in the hallway!" We both start laughing like crazy.

"Bree!" Kate's dad yells, "Your mom's here!"

"Let's just say were going to get an F. Or at least I am." I sigh, gathering up my things.

"Well, we have tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday to study so I think we can get it."

"Alright, see ya tomorrow!"

At the end of another boring day at school, we were having a stupid pep rally. Yeah, the seniors were all getting into it. Good thing I was sitting next to my peoples. But I couldn't see Kate anywhere! But I'm assuming that she's with Sarah or something.

"Hey, we should all come over to my house tonight and watch Total Drama Island!" Megan whispers as the principal was talking about sportsmanship. Funny how he allowed us to murder a wildcat for sportsmanship.

"Yeah, sure!" We all agree except for me.

"Bree, you wanna come?" Megan asks.

"I can't, I got a butt load of homework tonight," I answer. Don't get me wrong, I would love to come. But I have two assignments in both of my honors classes that are due on the same day! And that day is Monday. So I have the weekend to do it since today was Friday. Ugh.

"Oh, well maybe we can do it some other time then!"

"No, you guys go ahead. I don't want to ruin it for you." I say quickly, but I knew I was just hiding my misery. Sometimes I feel like I'm always left out, but I just barley joined their 'friendship circle' or whatever you want to call it.

"Oh, ok. If that's what you want…"

"Yeah, totally." I smile at them, pulling down my dark green tank top. That's when all the lights went out. The gym was pitch black and only the dim light from outside streak parts of the gym. Some girls scream, but mostly we all gasp. I look around confused, had the snow knocked out the power? Or did the snow leak into the electrical box? Probably just a hiccup; nothing to really worry about. That is, until there was a resonating boom that sent shivers up my spine. Something was wrong, the atmosphere didn't feel right. And that's saying something in any school. Then the lights suddenly flicker on. But…what was that in the middle of the gym? Is that… the Gate? I look around the gym, and see most people were bewildered. A few people actually knew what it was.

"What the hell it that?" Summer whispers, looking around at us.

"I think that's the Gate…" I trail off.

"The what?" Megan asks me.

"It's from one of my favorite animes… maybe they did this on purpose? Like its part of the rally?" I suggest. I still had a bad feeling about it. I look over to the student body presidents, and they looked confused just like everybody else. But it can't be true! It's just a story! Maybe I'm day dreaming…yeah! That's what it has to be! I got hit by something and I'm probably in the hospital! But then the Gate opens, revealing black hands, whispers, and the eye.

And the eye was looking straight at me.

Black hands shoot out and start to wrap around my waist and limbs. They lift me up out of the bleachers, pulling me in. I struggle the best I can, but they had an unbreakable on me. Someone grabs my hand, and I look down to see my friends trying to pull me back.

"Hold on! We got you!" Jenna yells, who was the one who grabbed my hand. Everybody else held her down. There was no word to describe it. I was scared, but I was relieved. They did care about me that much. And all this time I thought I was a pet or something to them.

"No! Let go or else it's going to pull you in too!" I yell, letting go of her hand I didn't know I was gripping. I yank my hand away, and I fly into the air. The gate swallows me up in blackness.
