I sit on an old ripped bus seat reading my book I got for Christmas a few years back. I lay my head on the glass and look out the window to see trees and a blue sky. The smell of cigarettes fill my nose as a middle aged women sits next to me. She takes the cigarette out of her mouth for a second and looks towards me. "Why aren't you to young to be on this bus by yourself?" She asks me while bringing her sunglasses up to her head. She was right I was too young to be by myself but I didn't have a choice. "I suppose." I answer shortly after. And with that she goes back to take a long drag of her cigarette. You might be wondering why I'm all alone on a bus. I'm on my way to Hawkins. You've never heard of it because it's a small shit hole I used to call home. I lived there for 10 years with my mom, dad and grandma. We moved away because I went missing there for about 2 weeks. My mom wanted a fresh start in New Jersey I guess. My grandma stayed there while we moved East. After three years of living there my mom and dad died in a car crash. That's why I'm on my way to Hawkins again, to live with my grandma, Cheryl. Oh and there's something I forgot to mention about when I went missing. Something took me to a strange place, a cold, empty place. It was exactly like here but different, more creepy. I never told anyone, no one would believe me so when the cops asked what happened I said I just got lost in the woods. Ever since that day I would have dreams where I was there. They were pretty realistic it was almost as if I was there and it was coming for me. Whatever though it's normal probably. I'm excited to see my Nona, she's the coolest grandma ever. She's a total bad ass. "Hawkins!" the best driver yelled while stopping. I get up from the seat dusting my jeans off and grabbing my suitcase. "Thank you bud driver!" I said while stepping off the blue vehicle. Oh have I not missed this place. Time skip I had finally arrived at Nona's thanks to the taxi I called. Stepping up the steps towards the door I feel a bit nervous. What if she doesn't remember me. Of course she will your her grand daughter. And with that I ring the doorbell. "IM COMINGGGGG!!!" I hear coming from inside the brick house. The door opens with a loud creak. "Who are you?" She asks tilting her head. Before I can reply she calls out saying, "I'm just messing with you!!" She pulls me into a suffocating hug. "Oh my sweetie! You've grown up so much!" She yells as she kisses my forehead. "Come in doll!" I walk past her and look at the familiar house I used to visit. Wow hasn't changed. "Follow me dear I'll show you to ur room I set up for you!" She walks down the hall in her slippers until she reaches a door. "Are you ready!!" "Yes!" I smile at her. She opens her door and im shocked. "I love it!" I yell out. I place my suitcase on the bed and hug my Nona. "Thank you!" I say mumbled into her chest. "Oh it's nothing. Now you get settled in and then join me at the table for dinner." "Ok!" When she leaves I change my clothes into pajamas to get comfy.

I sit down at the familiar wood tabel eating baked potatoes and steak. "You excited for school?" My Nona questions. "Eh not really." I reply digging into the potato. School was hard for me back then. I didn't have any friends. I never talked or anything. I wasn't exactly fond of anyone either. Except I did have crush on this one kid in my grade but I never talked to him anyway. I was made fun of a lot for how I looked. I hadn't grown into my looks yet. I got pushed around my boys and gossiped about by girls. My only friends were my pet fish and cat. Once I'd finished my dinner I got up and rinsed it out. "Thank you for dinner but I'm quite tired, goodnight!" I said before walking to my new room. I spit out dirty water while rising up. It's freezing like it always is. White specks float in the wind. I rise up from my place on the concrete. I'm here again. There's a weird sound coating the air. And then I hear it. Oh god. I sprint as fast as I can the opposite way not knowing what would happen if it caught me. I open the door to the school and run down the halls. The thing is behind me I can see the shadow of it. "LEAVE ME ALONE" I yell at the verge of tears. Finding a storage closet I run inside and lock it. It bags on the door. "STOP PLEASE STOP" I sob. Then just like that it disappears. And I'm now in my bed. Authors note: this is so bad omg I'm sorry. I don't know how to write I was just bored tbh.
