Sometime around 7:50 I'd rolled out of bed, set my clothes and prepped for school only to wake to my wheels all missing which I was certain I'd left on last night but Daddy said he'd go to the mechanic shop and have them fix it only for his wheels to all be flattened. I figured it was some homeless man who'd managed to slip onto our lawn and do the gruesome deed but then I wondered what would a homeless person want with two bicycle and four new car wheels that were completely done with.

I questioned daddy about who he'd think it was that did it and he believed it was some type of animal and when I asked about my wheels he'd told me how he clearly recalled I undid them and brought them inside the house, which is something I may have done twice or thrice but I truly do not recall it but he assured me he watched me undo all two wheels for some reason and brought them in the house which I then questioned why wouldn't I just bring the bike into the house to which he said I wanted it out on the driveway.

My parents would never lie to me, but somehow I cannot recall that occurrence for the life of me

When I try to recollect the events that led up to last night I'm always flustered with going to my room, skipping dinner for just a glass of water and my vitamins, finishing some assignments and then falling into a deep sleep on my nook that just so happened to be right under my window until a cold draft woke me up sometime around 4 to which I returned to my bed.

Maybe it's because I'm a bit hungry, that some of my memories are absentminded?

"Paige!", a loud holler pulls my gaze to the camera lens.

"Oh sorry, I was just thinking"

"About last night again?", Avery lowers his hands, his gaze too preoccupied with the viewfinder.

"I don't know I just think it's all kinda weird, it's never happened before"

"There's always a first time for everything right?"

"There's always a first time for everything right?"

"I'm serious"

He pads towards me, a playful smile on his face as he places a hand beneath my chin, tipping my gaze to the side where my view is now occupied with tall oak trees and a field full of grass and delicate dandelions. He chuckled softly and once he was finished positioning me where he'd liked, I heard his heavy footsteps pad back and the crunch of some dry leaves under him before a sigh another click came.

"So am I, you heard your parents, it was probably a stupid wild animal or something"

"Dogs aren't stupid and if that's true what about my bicycle wheels?", though I am a cat person myself.

"Like Mr. Harper said you probably left it in the house"

"But if I did where is it? I searched the house from top to bottom and yet no wheels. How does it just vanish off like-"
