Did you hear, did you hear Alex is dead and Maria killed him? I heard the whisper as I entered the classroom. I stood frozen in time, unable to break, and a sharp pain ached in my chest. Just then, Beauty came and dragged me away. He is dead, she kept shouting, he is dead, she started crying. Just then, a student came to call me out, Mr Johnson is calling you he said.Sit down, Mr Johnson said to me, Rumors are flying around that you are a witch and you killed Alex. What do you have to say for yourself? Ugh, 'erm', 'erm', I stammered and said No, I have not heard about it. I see, so now answer this and better not lie to me, DID YOU KILL ALEX? Mr Johnson said, half shouting, attracting the other teachers in the staff room, looking in my direction. You better not lie, another teacher said, approaching me, and he got to where I was sitting before finishing the statement.Maria was so still she couldn't understand what was happening right now, Alex is dead, and they are saying she killed him. How? Why? She wouldn't do that; she likes him, she has always liked him from afar, but still, he is handsome, sweet, and kind to everyone. Tears started rolling down her cheeks. "Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Alex is dead". DID YOU KILL HIM, a slam on the table, jerked her back to reality, no, no, no, Maria said, crying I didn't kill him, I didn't do it. 'Maria Maria Maria, ' a familiar voice came sounding in. Maria turned and saw her mom. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? Maria shouted at the teachers in front of her child. Mrs Stevens, Mr Johnson called out. Your daughter told her friend that a student would die, and the student did. Do you understand how much trouble Maria is in? The police have been called, and they are on their way. It's better if Maria confesses to her involvement in Alex's death, so we will know how to help her. WHAT WHAT WHAT, Maria's mum was about to say something when the police entered and they asked Maria, her mom, and mr Johnson to follow them to the police station.
(AT HOME)
Why Maria, why, why why why, she said while crying at her daughter, you and your stupid dreams, always dreaming about people dying, you never dream about anything good,d always death. YOU MUST BE A WITCH, yes, you must be, else why do you always dream about people dying, and then they die. Things have gone on long enough. Do you want to kill me? You killed your dad with your dreams, too. I'm fed up. I can't do this with you. Maria's mum said while crying You are an evil child, a bad luck to this family. Didn't I tell you never to tell anyone about those dreams of yours, you cursed child? YOU WILL LEAVE THIS HOUSE AFTER IT'S OVER. I CAN'T, I JUST CAN'T, her mom said as she left her room crying.
Maria, still crying, got up and entered her room. She lay down, remembering the events that led to this mess she was in.
(Later that Monday in class)
Maria, this is Jessica. She is close to Alex. Can you repeat the dream you told me? I am sure she will tell him to be careful so that nothing will happen to him.
'Huh' the popular phrase maria always says, shocked about was happening and called her best friend to the side and asked why she did is Jessica here and did you tell her about the dream I demanded, she is Alex girlfriend to her beauty said she can convinced Alex to be careful and the dream won't come to pass reluctantly. I thought for a while and reluctantly agreed. I narrated the dream to Jessica and Beauty, both quite, and after I was done, Jessica left without saying a word. I didn't know how to feel or interpret her silence, so I won't talk about my day like nothing happened that morning.I saw Alex briefly from a distance, he was a year my senior, so our paths barely crossed. I was so nervous when he saw me because I thought he would think I was weird or a witch. I regretted telling Jessica and Beauty.
