Honey sunk deeper into the array of suds that surrounded her. The lukewarm water she was submerged in, was filled to brim of the tub, if she moved too much the water spill onto the floor. She stared blankly as the tiled wall in front of her, a stoic expression on her face. She had been soaking in the bathtub for at least 45 minutes. Usually, she would be having a full blown concert when she showered, but today she didn't. Whenever she was extremely upset, she would take long baths or showers to soothe her wounded feelings. It was one of her favorite places to nurse her rollercoaster of emotions. Honey hoped that after the weekend she had. She wouldn't encounter anymore issues, but of course that didn't happen.
Since her birthday, she's been extremely confused as to why she's been feeling so unsettled whenever she's out alone during the night. Honey has been writing it off as paranoia and ignoring the odd sensations of being watched and followed when no one was even around. Honey couldn't come up with a rational explanation until tonight.
Honey was at the library completing assignments from various classes within the quiet sanctuary, alone. She was so immersed in her school work she didn't notice how much time had passed till she exited library, her eyes swiveled on the darkened sky. The dormitory residential complex were located across the street from the main campus. It was an uneventful walk until it was time for her venture down the sidewalk. There was no trees or bushes to conceal anything from her view, only bright lit streetlights lined the path.
At first, Honey thought her mind was playing tricks on her. Once the bad feeling embedded itself into her gut, it was nearly impossible to ignore her instincts. She acted on the overwhelming urge and turned around abruptly, catching the culprit in the distance trailing her before they took off in the opposite direction. Honey couldn't make out their features because they wore all black and mask. It happened so fast Honey thought maybe she imagined it.
Nevertheless, Honey was positive it wasn't a figment of her imagination and most certainly it wasn't a coincidence.
First of all, who in their right mind would casually wear a ski mask to take a night stroll? Secondly, why were they dressed in all black and hoodie in this weather? Thirdly, why run when she turned around and caught them? Honey knew it was connected to every instance she's experienced starting the night of her birthday. She didn't know whether it was one of Spencer's guys or the people from the west side who was after Nadia. Honey was perturbed by someone following her every move, invading her privacy this way. She was pissed because Nadia had dragged Honey into her mess, so much so that someone has people watching her. Honey had no clue of their intentions or if they were dangerous. This exactly what she was afraid of, now she has unnecessary attention on her.
She called her sister Blue to tell her what happened. Even she was confused about the ordeal and highly concerned for Honey's well-being. She recommended that Honey invest in pepper spray, switch blades and a taser for safety and to limit being out alone just in case. Honey hoped these people realize that she had nothing to do with anything if they haven't already. She was going to pray that they didn't take it a step further by trying to hurt her to send a message to Nadia or to get back at her. Honey was so annoyed that she was in some bullshit because of someone she didn't even like or associate with. Damn it.
