  I was walking down the hall of Maple Leaf School of Fine Arts when the alarms over head went off, signaling that a lockdown was in process, my brother TK, a young man with dark-gray skin; found me, ran up to me in a hurry, picked me up, and hid me in the janitor's closet before running in the opposite direction.

Confused, the alarms were still going off, I peeked out of the keyhole and I saw a 6 ft tall man around my brother and I's age, probably in his 20s. Startled, I backed away from the door. My breathing got rigid and shaky when I noticed footsteps outside the door. I subconsciously whispered "oh no" under my breath. I covered my mouth in a hurry to hide my gasp as the door opened. The very tall young man entered the small closet, and as he looked at me he closed the door behind him. Backing me into a wall with his eyes never leaving my face, his eyes seemed to glow as he whispered near my ear "stay quiet and I'll let you go" I nod quickly in understanding. "Good girl" he replies to me. We waited for a few minutes in silence, and he slipped back out the door. Leaving me alone.

Every few days I see him around. I can feel him watching me, but I know I can't tell anyone. I don't want something to happen to TK, my mom or even Lucy. It's been a few months and it turned out that the boy is now in our school and no one knows about him, but me. I also found out what his name is but everyone else calls him King because it's his last name and he hates his real name now.

One night, I was in my room doing my school work with my music playing when TK knocked on my door. "Come in" I hollered over my music. My brother entered with a smug expression on his face. "Yes?" I inquired as he walked up to me and plops into one of my bean bag chairs. "Can you help me with my chores please, I'll do anything if you help me." he asked pleadingly. I thought about it for a moment then replied "ok but you owe me a bag of chips". He stood and headed for the door saying over his shoulder, "thank you so much sis". "Whatever, bruh" I said as I followed him out of my room.

After TK left, I finished his chores and went back to my room to finish my homework. Out of nowhere I hear a tap at my window. I opened it to find Peter there. "What do you want!" I ask curtly. He just looks at me confused and says "you forgot we have a science project!" he yells back. Realizing that I had, I ran down the stairs and let him in. Wondering how the jerk knew where I lived. Did I give him my address earlier? Probably. We sit down in my room and start working on our project.

It was midnight when he finally left. TK and mom had returned and I had finally gone to sleep when I woke up to my 7 AM alarm. I got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, and ran to the University.

Who did I run into on the way there? None other than Peter King himself. He walked up to me "Ugh! What do you want, 'Mr. King', a kiss or something?", I asked in frustration. He looked away briefly only to turn to me once more, "I wanted to give you this chocolate bar and cookies. I kinda made extras", he stated. Looking at him I said, "hm? Ok fine I'll take them." He smiled brightly and handed the snacks to me and I walked off enjoying them.
