What Happened? |
|
April woke up in her bed. She had kicked
the comforter
off of herself sometime during the night as the temperature
rose to unseasonably warm levels. The faint odor of brewing coffee wafted
up the stairs. Dad must be up early.
It was another school day and April’s subconscious was trying to talk her into bagging it and staying in bed. Eventually she sat up and yawned. What a weird dream, she thought. It was about her friend Sandy and a baby bird. Or was it a dream? A cold shudder, that had nothing to do with the warm morning, ran up April’s back. Maybe a hot shower would drive it away. The hot shower turned out to be a big mistake. The morning was already quite warm and getting warmer by the minute. The day was shaping up to be a real scorcher. When April stepped out of the shower and tried to dry off, sweat formed faster than the towel could absorb. It was an awful feeling. It was back into the showers, at a more reasonable lower temperature. April arrived at school only a few minutes late and headed to her locker. She threw in her backpack, grabbed her social science book and slammed the locker shut just in time to see Courtney heading her way. ‘Courtney Morgana Taberton’, as her uppity mother, Adrienne, always called her.
