The Way You Hate Me

Chapter 1: Greetings and Goodbye

"Hurry, run!"
A girl with brown hair shouts after she notices her friend has fallen behind.

"I'm trying! I'm not a werewolf like someone I know," her friend responds as she struggles to keep up. She is carrying a small backpack and a baseball bat that she was trying not to drop it.

"Not the time, Ari," the girl says as she rolls her eyes.

While still moving, the girl reaches down to remove her flats because they are slowing her down. Running in a dress, tights, and flats is not ideal when trying to get away from a creature out to kill. The friend also was able to take off her flats and add them to the stuff she was carrying.

They got out of the woods and came across an abandoned building. They quickly got inside and locked the door. They stopped to catch their breaths.

Every part of the building was run down except for this random phone booth-like thing sitting there right when they walked in. The friend walked into it.

"What are you doing?"
The girl asked as she followed her friend.

"Come on, the dude on the horse is gone and I want to know what this is," the friend tells her.

"I don't know about this I got a bad feeling about this," the girl says as she closes the door to the booth.

The girl looks over to see her friend staring at a red button.

"Don't even think about it," she says.

"I've been thinking about it, I've beaten ya to it," her friend responds as she looks over to her.

"It's never good to push a red button," the girl tries to reason with her friend.

"Oh, it's sitting right here like it's asking to be pushed," the friend says.

Before anything else can be said, the friend pushes the button.

"Our parents are going to kill us if the thing chasing us doesn't."
Those were the last words the girl could mutter before a big flash of light blinds both of them.

After the bright light goes away, they see that they are no longer in that abandoned building. They are now in the middle of a street in a neighborhood. A familiar neighborhood.

The girl spots her house except for a couple of things are off. It looked newer. Not new, but it definitely looked more new than what she was used to. She and her brother's bikes were not in the front of the house and her parents' cars were not there. She did not know what was going on, but she wanted to find out.

"Come on," she says as she starts to walk towards the front door. Her friend follows her.

The girl knocks on the door and they only wait a few minutes on the porch before someone opens it.

It was her dad. Except he looked younger and his hair was shorter.

"Oh my god," Her friend said.

"Dad?"
She could barely speak through the shock and confusion.

"What?"
Scott's face turned to shock. He just heard this random girl at his front door call him dad. He looked at both of the girls with a puzzled look on his face.

"Syd, I think we just time-traveled," her friend stated.

"Yeah, I'm getting that," the girl responds.

"Can we come in?"
The friend asks with an awkward grin on her face.

Scott moved so they could walk in and they were joined by Allison, Lydia, Malia, Hikari, and Liam.
