WAKE UP

𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝟮

𝗪𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗨𝗣 🌒

“Hey… wake up.”

The voice… it’s a girl… 👧

“Hey, wake up…”

The dream…?

“Hey, wake up! We’re going to be late for college. It’s our last year, you know!” 😤

I just kept looking at her…

Thinking—

Was it just a dream…?

If it was a dream…

Why did it feel so real?

That girl…

Her lifeless body… 💔

Those eyes… staring at me… 👁️

And at the end…

That man…

Who is he?

That question just wouldn’t leave my mind…

“Hey!! Are you okay? Or are you not feeling well?” she asked, a little worried.

“You know it’s the first day of our final year… we can’t miss it!”

I looked at her…

My mind didn’t want to respond…

Everything felt… off.

Like someone had changed things around…

My books… my dolls… everything felt slightly different…

“Hey… respond! Is something bothering you?”

She was my friend… asking me with a confused but soft smile. 😊

“N-no… I’m okay. I just couldn’t sleep well…”

“Give me 10 minutes. I’ll get ready.”

“Okay, as you wish. Just don’t be late, okay?”

I forced a small smile.

“Yeah, bro…”

I started getting ready for college…

But my mind kept replaying everything again and again…

That dream…

And then I realized—

That girl’s face looked familiar…

But that man…

“Do I know him…?”

I was still confused… and scared… 😰

“Hey! You’re ready?”

“Yeah… let’s go.”

We started walking to college… 🚶‍♀️

Me and my friends… laughing… talking…

But deep inside…

My eyes were searching…

For something…

I didn’t even know what.

Everything looked normal…

Too normal.

At college… 🏫

The professor…

My classmates…

My friends…

Everyone was normal.

Maybe… I was just overthinking…

Maybe it really was just a dream…

I closed my eyes for a moment in class… to relax…

After a few minutes…

I opened them—

And froze.

Everyone…

Was staring at me.

With strange smiles… 😈

And red eyes… 🔴

Fear rushed through my body.

“G-guys…?”

“Why are you all looking at me like that? Is something on my face…?”

No response.

Just silence.

That silence… started scaring me more…

“Guys… what happened…?”

Still nothing.

I suddenly shouted—

“AHHHHHHHH!!!” 😱

My pen fell to the floor… ✏️

I covered my face with my hands…

Suddenly…

A hand touched my shoulder.

I looked up—

It was my friend.

“Hey!! Are you okay? Why did you suddenly shout?” 😟

“I… I’m okay… no worries…”

I realized…

It was just my imagination…

“I’m sorry… everyone… sorry, professor…”

The professor gave a small smile.

“No problem. Just don’t do it again, okay?”

I nodded.

But deep inside…

I knew something was wrong.

Then suddenly—

My phone buzzed. 📱

A message.

From an unknown number.

My breath stopped.

Slowly… I opened it.

“RUN BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN.” 🖤

My hands started shaking.

My whole body went tense. 😨

Who is this…?

Another message came—

“Looking for me, sweetheart?” 😈

My heart started racing…

I looked around quickly…

But found nothing.

“Hey… what happened?” my friend asked.

I forced a fake smile.

“Yeah bro… I’m okay… chill…”

“I think I’ll take a half-day today…”

“Okay… as you wish. We’ll meet in the hostel. Take rest, okay? Bye!” 👋

I smiled… but said nothing.

I had no words.

My mind was stuck on those messages.

I turned to the professor.

“Sir… can I take a half-day?”

“Okay, take care and get some rest,” he replied.

I nodded and left the classroom.

As I walked outside…

One thought kept repeating in my mind—

This is not a dream.

This is something else…

Something I don’t understand…

But somehow…

I’m trapped in it.

“Maybe someone is just playing with me…?”

I whispered to myself while walking on the street…

Then suddenly—

A man walked towards me.

Wearing a black hoodie. 🖤

His face was covered…

I couldn’t see him clearly…

But something felt… familiar.

Very familiar.

My heart skipped a beat.

His height…

Around 6 feet…

Just like… in my dream. 😰

He came closer…

I stood there… frozen…

Unable to move…

Then suddenly—

He handed me a note.

And walked away…

Like he was never there.

My hands trembled as I slowly opened it…

Inside, it was written—

“You’re cute and beautiful… like a doll, baby.

Don’t go out alone, sweetheart.” 💔🖤

I froze.

Completely.

Fear…

Was no longer just in my dreams.

It was real now. 😨

✨ This was not a dream anymore…

✨ And someone… was already watching her.. 👁
