      I kept telling myself it was just my imagination (I definitely had a big one), but my instincts told me otherwise. I finally made it to the bathroom where I waited in silence for Casey. Looking at the entrance I realized someone else was there or at least I felt like another person was there. I'd been staring at the entrance for what seemed like hours when in reality it had only been a couple minutes.
"You came." a voice said from behind me.
"Don't scare me like that!" I exclaimed once I saw it was Casey.
"So..." She replied, sizing me up as if she were trying to determine if I was good enough, "You're it? You're Camryn?"
"How'd you know my name?"
"Your brother" she answered, making me feel stupid at such an obvious answer.
"Do you have your pendant that your mother gave you?"
"Yeah,but how'd you know..." I replied awkwarding, fingering the shapes of it in my coat pocket.
      I had never told anyone about the pendant I had gotten from my mom on my birthday. I had found it that fateful day on my bed, before I went to sleep, with a tag saying from mom. I wasn't sure how to tell my brothers or my dad so I kept it a secret ever since.
"There's no time to explain. We need to get out of here. Something's wrong."
Before I could ask anymore questions (and, trust me, I had alot) she grabbed my arm, pulling me along to blue hall.
"What's going on?" Julie had to ask.
"I can't explain right now. We have to go."
"Go where?"
"And, as always, you show up at the wrong time"
      It was math teacher whom I absolutely despised. He was always on my case about every little thing I did.
"We're going to the office." Ethan lied, saying it with such confidence that anyone would've believed him.
"Can I see you passes"
      (Every little detail. I tell you it drives me crazy)
"You didn't say please." I said, hoping to make him angry enough that he'd forget all about our passes and leave (It works in class).
"Passes please" he replied persistantly, the way he does when he tries to get me in trouble.
      The only difference is this time he was going to win. Our hall passes only allowed us to go to the bathrooms and water fountains. Then I saw Casey's fingers glowing gold behind her back.
"Sure you can. They're in our pockets" she said as soon as her fingers stopped glowing.
      We all checked our pockets and surely enough there were passes to the office.
"Better get going" he exclaimed, obviously trying to keep the bitterness from his voice.
      I had a feeling that if we didn't have passes he would've either exploded or given another lecture about a guy on a fence. (My math teacher: Both weird and annoying).
"That was so lucky" Alyson said abit early.
"That was" explained Ms. Wodahs.
"We didn't do anything wrong" Julie defended.
"I beg to differ"
"We should run" Casey suggested.
"Well start begging"
      She started to morph, her skin darker then the night sky. Her eyes had turned a glowing blood red. She looked like a demon from hell, ready for the kill. I half expected her to breath fire, but just her presence was enough to almost suffocate me.
"Camryn?"
"Yeah, Ethan?"
"RUN!!!"
      I had no time to wonder if this was only a dream. I just ran. The only thought I had was that there was a huge...monster running after us. Just then I had an idea.
"Guys, follow me!" I shouted.
     I turned to see the black figure that had been our teacher. I hope this is a good idea, I thought to myself.
"Isn't it better to run away from the big scary monster?" I heard Susan ask.
      I agreed, but once I yelled,"Go!!!", there was no turning back.
      Running at full speed, it looked as if I was going to run straight into her, but an inch from crashing into her I yelled,
"Left!!!"
      We all went down the hallway and burst into the gym. Everyone in that class was outside, playing soccor.
"Now what?" Susan wondered.
"I don't know."
"You mean you didn't think this through??!!" she exclaimed, "We're dead."
      Suddenly the monster burst inside the gym, but now all the students from our creative writing class were following close behind, looking like carnivorous zombies. I did the only thing that made sense to me(at the time): I charged at them.
"Camryn!" I heard Joshua cry.
      A flash of light, then everything went dark.
This is part of Chapter 4 I got done. I'll write Chapter 5 as soon as I can, but I've been really busy with school work, babysitting, and my aunt is taking me to the parade today. So I'll try to do it this afternoon or tonight.
