He Got What He Deserved

chapter 3

I liked being home alone because I could eat when I wanted and what I wanted and also I didn't have to lock myself in my room. I used to have the fear of someone hurting me but I had been watching self defence videos on my phone and even learned some of them so I felt confident. Although I haven't had the chance to use them yet I still feel confident in myself.

Depression really has knocked me around this past week so has Dennis with his gang. My guess is that he would be nothing without his buds by his side. I looked at myself in the mirror in hate of myself, I had holes at the back of my leg from the shoe and a red mark on my back from whatever it was that Dennis threw at me, I really just didn't like myself.

I was so tired but atleast I didn't have to go to school the next day and I wasn't hungry so I just went to my room to sleep. Atleast I was not completely alone, I had my cat, she is like my comfort animal it's like she understands how I feel.
........

The morning sun was shining in my face which woke me up. I reached for my phone on my table to see that it was already 10 a.m, I didn't bother because I had nowhere to rush too.

I wiped the sleep out my puffy eyes as I headed to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror to see huge black rings under my eyes, so I rinsed my face with cold water to wake my up.

I went down the stairs slowly to the kitchen dragging my feet. I made myself a cup of coffee and went back upstairs to pick out what I was going to wear because I had to go to the store to get myself some food. I finished my coffee and got dressed but my casual clothes were alot different to what I wear at school. I had light blue navie shorts and a dark red hoodie a d just some black sneakers.
......

When I was ready to leave I quickly fed the cat and left locking the door behind me. It was a rather calming walk there. When I got in the store I went to my favourite isle, the noodle isle. I grabbed two of my favourite flavours and went to pay. It was rather quick know it was just the walk back. I left the store and walked around the corner but as I did so I found someone making a quick turn around the same corner but I just thought it was a coincidental. Although he was dressed in all black and it was hard to see his face because of his jacket and his hood that was over his head. I turned around another corner like usual but he was still following  so I walked faster but he did too. I started running and so did he. I ran as fast as possible and into the yard but when I looked behind me the mysterious boy was gone, it was like no one ever followed me so I thought nothing of it.

I was excited for the evening ahead because I was going to be by myself eating my favourite noodles. It always felt like a dream to do it and now I could actually make it a reality for one night.

I went upstairs to change into sweatpants and a big shirt, it was the most comfortable clothing I had and I always wore it when I was alone.

I headed downstairs to the kitchen to make my noodles. I got out my pot and my chopsticks. I put water in the pot and placed it on the stove to boil before putting the noodles in. I got all the stuff that I need while waiting for the water to boil. I heard a creek on the wooden floor, thinking that it was just my cat because she is rather heavy. I continued making my noodles and as I finished I felt a tap on my shoulder!
