What happened to Catherine today? It is almost like she just vanished! She was in English with me, but when I went to history class she wasn't there. I grabbed my phone off of my bedside table frantically looking through our texts from the night before. She was stressed out about exams coming up soon, and I had been thinking of ways for us to get together and prepare. "Hey" I texted, just to try to see if she has her phone with her, wherever that may be. Thirty minutes later...still no reply. I shouldn't overreact, it is 11:30 at night, typically no one would respond to a text this late. She is probably sleeping. I set my phone back down as I tried to block my feelings of doubt from entering my brain. Last night she texted me at 1:30. STOP. Why wouldn't she text me now? Cut it out! Fine then, I will just try to get some sleep tonight, and see if she is at school tomorrow. I close my eyes and rest my heavy head on my pillow, and try not to think about the unthinkable.
I look at my phone the next night, and notice the date...Friday the 13th. My heart drops to my stomach as I think about how Catherine wasn't at school AGAIN today. Wasn't she supposed to come over to my house tonight so we could study for exams? I check my texts, and realize with horror that, yes, she was. She didn't even call, or try to contact me in some way to let me know that she was not coming over. There must be something wrong. The clock in my bedroom struck midnight, and then the lights went out.
