[align=center][sub][font=georgia][color=black]Blue eyes flickered in the darkness, and a dark figure lay motionless in the bed. It was located beside a window, which a tree branch seemed to have a fond feeling for. It rattled and tapped on the window, and the girl pulled the curtains closed. More than just worried, she quickly reached down and grabbed a plug. She plugged it in the plug-in beside her bed, speedily pulling her hand up to her chest. She watched the lights in her room come to life, rainbow Christmas lights strung around the ceiling. A small, fake Christmas tree made it's home in the corner of the room, and the white lights around it brightened the room even more. The room lit up different colors, soothing the girl from the horror she had just witnessed.
Sweat beaded on her forehead, Rhett DuChamp sat upright. She tucked her wavy blonde hair behind her ears, trying to calm down a little more. The dream she had was terrible, but she knew it wasn't real. She wouldn't be moving away from her perfectly perfect friends, and her middle school which she knew so well. Some of her Aunts and Uncles lived there, and her cousins were always fun to spend time with. The weather was beautiful, as was the forest nestled right behind her house. She watched the darkened sky light up with the amber sun, and her blue eyes flickered to the curtains. She opened them a crack, sunlight filtering in and landing upon the floor. Rhett's eyes wavered to her alarm clock, which wouldn't be ringing for another two hours. It was 5:00 in the morning, and school started at 9:00. She got up two hours before because her mother needed to work quite early, and her father was already at work.
The 13 year old quietly pulled herself out of bed, longing for the warmth of her covers as soon as she stood up. She walked over to her dresser, which was right in front of her bed. She pulled a black long-sleeved shirt over her head, smiling down at the white symbol of the Deathly Hallows located in the middle. Her slender legs fit perfectly in her mint green jeans, and she smiled at herself in the mirror on her dresser. She pulled her hair into a fishtail braid to the side, and crept quietly down the stairs. To her surprise, her mother and father were sitting at the dining room table talking in hushed voices.
"...Would break her heart."
"I know, but we have to do it. It's for the best" her father finished, making Rhett's eyebrow lift.
"Oh, Rhett. Come over here please" her mother called softly, beckoning to the chair beside her. Rhett walked over to the simple table, sitting beside her mother.
"Dad, you're supposed to be at work."
"I know sweetie, but we have something to talk about" he answered seriously, and worry flashed in her young eyes. Oh no. She failed grade 8. Or even worse, they were getting a divorce. But she didn't say anything, even though her thoughts banged on the inside of her head like a jackhammer.
"Yes...?" she asked hesitantly. Her father sighed, making her more worried.
"You see honey, we have been having a rough time lately. With jobs, and money. So, there is only one way to confront that."
"And that is...?"
"To start over. To move away from BC."
Rhett couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was like a train ran over her multiple times, but she was still alive. A tear fell from her cheek, and she stood up.
"No! We can't just leave! I have everything here! My friends, some of my family. Karate" she shouted, letting all of her rage fill the room.
"I am almost the youngest black belt in my division! How could you take that away from me?" Rhett screamed, more tears falling down her pale face. her parents didn't say a word.
"You can go to school this morning, and ask your friends if they want to come on a photoshoot. It would be so fun for you to just hang out with your friends and have fun" her mother said evenly, before moping up the stairs. She glared at her dad, and before she knew it, he was dressed and heading out the door. Had a later day at work today apparently.
And soon it was 9:00, time for her to go to school for however long it took to invite her friends. She had been into photography for about two years, with both a film camera and a digital. She put on her almost-knee-height black boots, stepping out the door. She was going to walk today, as she didn't want to have an awkward silence in the car with her mother. A piece of hair fell out from her fishtail braid, but she didn't care. She let it hang in front of her gorgeous sapphire blue eyes. She walked down the street, realizing how strange it was to not walk to school with her backpack. Rhett kept going though, her mind not quite processing everything that was happening. When she got to school, she went to the office. She told them what was happening, and asked if they could call her friends to the office over the PA. Being friends with the secretary really was a good thing.
Rhett smiled like nothing was wrong, and waited outside the office. Her friends came into view, and she smiled.
