"rain"

My eyes awaken themselves to my beautiful cat, grey.

Yes it's a boy name but so? Pink isn't a girls color.

"Hello" I say, she blinks slowly.

"Ready for today?" She yawns and jumps off me going to her bowl, ahh yes she's hungry.

I get up and pour her food into her bowl saying, "I love you but I need to get ready for school lovely" she looks at me then back down.

I pat her head and stand up going to my closet.

After getting ready I talk to grey again before heading out.

I live alone and I work at the diner on the corner so I make money, not a lot.. but it's something, it's enough for bills and stuff for grey.. I don't have a car, but the bright side is that I don't mind walking.

I look up to the sound of lightning.

"You've got to be kidding me" I roll my eyes, and pull my hood up, walking faster than normal.

...

"Uh hello?? Jesus she'll never awake"

My eyes slowly open to a nice looking man, "where- what.."

I passed out? Oh my, that's embarrassing.

"Oh uh, so you fell and I was driving by and I saw you and I guessed you came to this school so I brought you to the nurse, your welcome" he smiles, too big.

"Oh, thank you very much, what time is it?"

"TIME FOR YOU TO GET A WATCH!!" He falls back into his chair laughing and slapping his knee.

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry" he tries not to laugh.

"It's fine" what..

"Oh and it's 2:34" WHAT!

"Oh Um okay, well thank you again but I need to get to class" I walk out, he seems.. off.

I walk into my class and everyone looks "oh look who decided to join us" the teacher says, why would she do that? If I wanted everyone's attention I would of got it differently.. I keep my head down and go to my seat.. in my soaking wet jacket.

After class I walk out of the building with my hands crossing around my waist, I miss grey.. so much.

I decided to go home, I already missed half the day, and I'm sure grey wants to see me.

It starts raining half way through so I pull up my hood, not again.

I have that feeling, that someone is near.. or watching me.

But who knows? I did just wake up from a wonderful nap.

I turn around and see someone else, a guy.. bigger than me, taller too.. but I can't see his face.

Is he following me?

I turn a corner, he turns the same corner.

I walk faster, he walks faster.

Oh.

Oh no.

I start to run and cry, just cry.

I run faster, and faster, like I've never before.. I will make it home.

I eventually get to my house, I run inside and look behind me, no ones there.

Was I just thinking that? Was it real?

What's happening.

I lock the door and I feel something soft on my leg making me jump, "oh thank god it's you" I fall to my knees and put grey into my lap.

"Come on, I'll put on your favorite movie while I take a shower."

I'm 18, and in my last year of highschool, I don't know yet if I want to do college, probably not, I'm a B student and there's no way I can pay for it.

I put on Coco for grey and go to my shower, turning it on and getting my clothes ready for the night.

Who was he?
Was he real?
Will I see him again tomorrow?
Are we in danger?
Was it my mind playing tricks?
Is he stalking me?
Does he know me?
Who is he?
Was he following ME?
why?

So many questions, they just go on and on, I need answers.. but for now I'll just think it was my mind being rude.

I wash my body and step out of the shower, walking to my cat.

I get out my phone and scroll, holy moly.

HOLY MOLY!

"Sorry love" I change the channel to the news.

"There's been a killer, first time in our town sense 1967, be safe, we don't know who or what this killer wants or is, school will be shut down the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow?" I whispered to myself. That's ridiculous, that killer guy is probably going after so many students and there just letting us go to school?

I put grey to my chest, "it's me and you.. we'll make it" I wipe my eyes from aye tears that could've came and turn back on coco.

I eventually fade away into darkness.

guys, I've had this story in my mind for months, should I keep it up?
