To live
When you think you’re dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you’re gonna fall
It’s just fear after all
It’s only fear after all
To live
When you think you’re dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you’re gonna fall
It’s just fear after all
It’s only fear after all
A sharp knock rang out in the silence of a cool autumn night. Darkness had fallen early, but that wasn't a concern. A slight breeze toyed with inky black hair, tied up in pigtails on either side of a woman's head. Dry leaves blew on the ground, making that skittery sound Raechel loved. She was at the home of her best friend, Thomas Harrison, a fellow teacher at Sonnisle Academy. She hoped he hadn't forgotten that tonight was the third Friday of the month, which had meant Chinese food for a few years now.
Another breeze blew, harder this time, and the teacher waiting at her next-door neighbor's door shivered. She was dressed rather unsuitably, considering the weather, but would be fine as soon as they set off for the Chinese restaurant in town. Her short black skirt and striped white shirt were more of a summer outfit than anything, but Raechel was known for wearing the same type of clothing all year round, no matter the temperature. The black studded collar weighed down around her neck as she shuffled her huge boots on Thomas's doorstep. They made her three inches or so taller than her natural five feet ten inches, placing her equal to or above many of the people she met, but they were her favorite shoes and no way was she going to stop wearing them because they made her look like a giant.
Tired of waiting, Rae rapped sharply on her friend's door again, not intending to stop until he acknowledged her presence.
