GAME ON!!

Noor part 2

Close to the bike rack I see it: the key is still in the lock. This is really the umpteenth time. Relieved, I close the lock and put the key in my pocket. I want to turn to walk back to the rest,.but then I feel someone watching me.

A shiver runs through my body. Who is there? Did someone come after me? I'm on edge right away. I turn around slowly. A boy stands not far from me. He carries a black hoody and turns his face to me as he talks to someone on the phone. He briefly rubs the sleeve of his jacket. Something falls to the floor.

It is a clothing label, which is normally attached to two buttons. I open my mouth to point it out to him, but hold back. Something about him gives me the creeps.

I can't see his eyes through the tinted glasses. Is he watching me? He seems to be following me with his gaze. I stand frozen. In a flash I register details: he looks neat, and yet he doesn't. His jeans are chafed at the knees. Like he's fallen. He keeps staring in my direction. What should he do now? Quickly I look away.

Do I know him from somewhere?

Not that I know. And if he had recognized me, he would have said something, I think. I walk around him with a bow, he is looking for it but off with his creepy demeanor.

When I pass him, a sweet smoke draws me. nose in. I recognize that smell immediately: weed. Daan sometimes smokes it too. Vapor stings my throat and I cough.

The boy lets out a hoarse laugh. Why is he here? What if he flies at me from behind? I clench my hands into fists. In case that. Out of the corner of my eye I watch him until I reach the front door am. Fortunately, he continues.

In the garden I cut off a large piece of the drip cake. Then I sit next to Jordi and Sky. 'Here, I say 'Share. I put down three forks, lick the cream off my fingers and place the piece of red velvet cake between us. Eline and Daan are slumped on a bean bag a few meters away. I take a bite and smile at Jordi's pink mouth corners. Sky pricks a raspberry on her fork. I shake off the moment just now. Why did I think that boy on the street wanted to attack me? Don't judge so quickly, Noor.
