Forgive Me At Midnight

Chapter 1: Running Away

Chapter 1: Running Away

I wake up in my normal bed in my normal room. I do what most high schoolers would do, brush my teeth, wash my face, get dress, and comb my hair. I head out and say goodbye to my mom, and I walk into my school to see one of my friends since 2 grade.

She has the most beautiful brownish blond hair. with hazel eyes that remind me of the cloudy sky. looking at her makes you feel at peace and safe. "Aye! mate are you gonna stare at me today," she said, laughing a bit.

She snaps me out of my thought surprise as I run up to her. her name was Kimberlee, one of my long friends. "Sorry about that. I once again fell in love with your beauty," I said quite sadly. As she laughs again, we waited on my last friend Taylor who I met in middle school. He was always late, so we were used to it. Once he made it to the fountain out of breath, he says, "I know I'm late again it hard to get up in the morning when you don't want to get up," We, of course, knowing that wasn't a big excuse, but I did forget to mention that he makes us smile pretty badly.

I forgot to mention we call Kimberlee Kiki for short since Taylor and I both don't feel like calling her by her real name. Of course, he had to bring it up again.

"Kiki! Do you love me? Are you riding!"

As for me, I laugh so hard my stomach started to hurt. It was different for Kimberlee. She walks away as we laugh in the sunrise. I made it past today, at least. Sadly I was separated by all my friends all day and went through the day all by myself, which was very boring.


I walk inside my house with a formal greeting from my mother. Who wants me to be the best I can be. She doesn't force it onto me, but she isn't thrilled with B on my report card.  Knowing how many secrets my mom keeps from me in such a big house with only me and her make me stress. She doesn't tell me what happens to my father, she doesn't tell me what she does for a living, she doesn't even tell me about my family, and every time it just "Honey, when you grow older, you will understand why I keep all these things from you," and she pauses and walk away. How old do I have to be to learn everything I want to know? Why can't she tell me?

I sit in my boring room, tired and slightly blush from the cold air from my room. I look slightly to my right and look out my window. I have a strict bedtime at 8 pm sharp. I have to be inside my room, and I have to go to bed. My mother trusted me to go to bed, so she never checks up on me. I close my eyes and listen. I hear? The wind, the branches barely hitting my window, and the everyday annoying cricket. Something breaks my silence.

I hear a voice telling me to calm down and sleep. I was confused. Why do I hear this voice? I felt a feeling to do something I shouldn't. I hear someone telling me to stop... I open my eyes and get up, and I say, "No." I quietly get up from my bed and thank this newly renovated house. I heard no creak insight. I put on my white jacket. "Of course, I have nothing to keep me from standing out," I tell myself in my head. I open the window with my Sketcher Sneaker, and I run away. I run so fast I was hoping I wouldn't be caught on the camera. I went the only route I knew with the camera at different angles for me to sneak by. 

I made it past my house. My house, with my darkest feel hiding among me, my mom, and my real family. As I ran out that window, I felt special. I felt different. I could breathe as my fear wash away. I want to get away from the house, so I run away to a nearby flower field with only two trees. One of them was bigger than the other as I sat down in the flower field. 

The next thing I know is I hear rustling. I immediately froze in place, scare that someone follows me. The rustling seems to come from the smaller tree as I was confused when I sat there.

..I saw a girl figure that looks the same age as me, but also bigger than me.. by actually a lot. I sat there and stared as she looks better than my friend Kimberlee.
