Frightened

The Beginning

*IF YOU ARE NOT A FAN OF SCARY, MYSTERY THRILLERS PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS STORY*

It was just the beginning of a new school year. I was going into my senior year of high school.

"Rihana, memba fi get yu stuff dem ready yer?" My mother calls out.

Yes, she's Jamaican, I guess it's safe to say that I'm the only person in this family who can't speak patios so well. But then again, my father is American and I basically lived with him in America for about 12 years. Since I was a baby ofcourse. Then, unfortunately, he died, resulting in my mother moving to America to look after me now.

"Yes mommy I remember." I sighed as I packed my book bag and took out my school uniform, ready to iron.

"Alright, all done." I said as I quickly got into my uniform, took up my book bag and headed downstairs into the kitchen.

We live in a very small house but we'll manage. Ever since my father died my mother decided to change houses because she said that living in the house where my father died brings back too many memories.

But I didn't have a problem with still living in it. I think.

"Mhmm, something smells really good down here." I said as I smell the masterpiece you call 'curry chicken and white rice'.

"You tan deh deh bout 'mhmm', you know how long mi a call you fi breakfast, you betta hot it up ina di microwave fore it get col."

"Mommy I told you I was getting ready." I whined.

"Suh.....

She slowly walks up to me.

"Yu excited fi school todeh?"

"Uhm... Yeah." I lied.

"Rihana, mi know wen u a lie to mi, but anyway, yu a get big, yu a big girl, su dat mean seh mi can leff yu wid anyting and nuh afi worry bout nuting, memba yu ago tan by yuself tonight, yu know the drill, nuh carry nobody ina mi house, nuh eat up all adi food, and nuh cum out adi house. Yu understand?"

"Yes mommy." I sighed.

"Everyting ago guh good, just guh a school, learn, and cum back home."

"Okay."

"Alright, now eat up yu food."

*At school*
*After the second session*
The bell had just rang, and everyone immediately knew it was time for lunch. Everyone ran out of their classes so fast you'd think we're under attack at the school. I was sitting in a chair at the far end away from everyone else. I don't like the crowd, it's ridiculous.

"Hi, Rihana right?" A blonde hair girl with freakishly long legs, blue eyes and freckles on her face said.

"Uhh, yeah, hi."

"Is this seat taken?"

I really don't want to sit with anyone, but it'd be really rude if I had said no.

What the hell.

"Yeah sure."

"I'm kate." She holds out her hand for me to shake it. I shook it.

"It's nice to meet you kate." I faked a smile.

"How come I've never seen you at this school before?" She asked, I hesitated before I answered, because she was extremely sus.

"I'm not sure, I've been here for a very long time, you sure you're not a ghost?" I joked and she laughed and immediately stopped, and began to stare at me intensely, never looking away.

Suddenly, the bell rings.

Oh thank God.

"Uhh, it was nice meeting you Kate, I better get to my last class, see you around." I said immediately getting up from my chair leaving her still sitting in hers.

*After the last session*
School had finished and I couldn't wait because history class was so boring, students were even sleeping during the lecture.

I stood at the bus stop and waited for the bus to arrive and when it did, I went in.

*Home*
The bus came to a halt when my house was the first stop. It was 6:24pm because school finished at 5:30 and it took me a solid 54 minutes to get home.

I realised that the door and all the windows were closed so I went for the keys in one of the flower pots where my mother always hides it. I opened the door to the house fully dark and got scared but remembered all the lights are out.

I turned on all the lights and sighed as the realisation finally hits me.

I'm home alone.

Shit.
