Unnatural || Matthew Espinosa

Ch 6

Karen's pov

"Why do we have to leave now?" Siena asks.

"Because my grandma called me and said she needed me, now let's go!" I lie. She doesn't need to know the truth right now or ever.

"What did she want?" Does she have to know everything.

"That's what I need to know," I grab half of her bags and stand up to make my way out the door. She grabs the rest of them and follows me out.

"Wait Karen! I forgot to go to Forever 21 I need to go only for a minute!" She begs.

"I'll meet you at the car," She hands me the bags she's holding and walks into the store. I continue to walk to the exit and make it to my car. I open the back seat door and put the bags in there so they don't disturb in the front.

"Need help with that?" Someone says startling me from behind and I know exactly who said that. I turn around and it's Matt, just who I suspected.

"What are you doing here?" I try and get an answer from him.

"What? Can't people go to the mall anymore?" He smirks at me. I roll my eyes and close the car door. I head over to the drivers seat and Matt follows me.

"What do you want?" He doesn't respond. He keeps smirking at me instead.

"I'll come by over later." He says and leaves. Here I'm left again very confused by this boy who I barely even know. I don't know how to deal with this, I seriously think I need help. I open the door and get inside. I want to let out a scream but I can't seem to find my voice. A few minutes pass and Siena returns. When she sits down she smirks at me. Oh no not her too.

"What?" I finally ask.

"I saw you with that boy!" She fangirls. "He's cute too!"

"I don't know him okay and we are never, ever going out so don't start thinking things," I tell her and mean it.

"You two would've made a very cute couple," I huff at her chose of words because I know that's not true. Instead of continuing this conversation I turn on the engine and drive home.

- at home -

After spending almost an entire day at the mall with Siena I decided to chill in my room alone and watch 'Pretty Little Liars'. I take off my shoes and change into much more comfortable clothes then lay on my bed.

"Hey are you gonna rest for the remainder of the day?" Siena asks walking in my room.

"Yea," I answer back.

"Okay I'll just be in my room and your grandma is making some cookie if you want any," She says and I thank her really quick. She exits my room closing the room. Good, now I won't have to get up and do it myself. People that actually close your door once they leave are energy savers and I respect them.

...

I wake up to my tv flickering black and white like they do in scary movies. I get up to turn it off real quick because that scares the life out of me. I walk back to my bed and click the home button on my phone and it reads that it's midnight. I might've fallen asleep while watching tv. I leave my room and go downstairs to get something to drink. I choose water because I'm not in the mood for anything else.

Once I'm done I head back to my room to sleep. If I don't sleep now I'll stay up all night. I lay back on my bed and try to close my eyes but it doesn't work. I turn on my side to see if it'll help me sleep faster.

"Hey," Someone says causing my heart to go down. I recognize that voice by now, it's Matt. His little games are getting old honestly. I sit up to face him and when I look he's sitting on the other side of my bed.

"What are you doing here?" I whisper but yell at the same time.

"I told you I was coming by later and here I am,"

"Can you please leave, some people are trying to sleep!" I try and keep my voice low so I don't wake up Siena or my grandma.

"I thought we could hang out," He says and my heart goes down for the second time.

"It's like twelve and I barely even know you," I point out.

"Who cares if it's twelve and you can get to know me through time," He says. I really need to go to sleep but I guess spending a little time with him won't hurt. Although he could be a murderer and kill me. He chuckles under his breath.

"What's so funny?" I ask.

"I'm not going to kill you," At this point my mind is blank. How did he even know I was thinking that?
