It was YOU.

Chapter 5:A Feeling Andrea Doesn't Want..

Chapter 5:

I woke up to an unfamiliar scent. I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar room.

I sat up and looked around for my belongings and found them just beside the bed I was laying on.

I quickly got up. I have no idea where I am, why I’m here… I don’t know who brought me here and what time it is.

I frantically looked around for a clock, only to realise I had my phone on me.

 Dead battery.  Argh.

 Suddenly the door opened.

Travis.

I let out a sigh; at least I knew who it was.

“Why am I here?”

“You fainted when running at school, and I brought you back here.” He said, but it wasn’t convincing.

“You know where I live, why didn’t you take me home?” I questioned.

I paid attention to his facial expression and body movements.

“I-I… I…” He stuttered continuously.

“I don’t know why you brought me back here, I don’t know why you are stuttering and I don’t know if you’re doing it to annoy me or it’s because of something else but you have successfully annoyed me to the point where I’m simply going to go home. Now, so don’t follow me.”

I put my bag over my shoulder and walked out the room, leaving him there.

I left the grand building.

That wasn’t very smart of me, was it? I didn’t know where I was… I didn’t know how to get home and my phone wasn’t working. I didn’t bring my GPS with me either.

I was getting scared, it wasn’t dark yet but I could tell it was the evening.

If school finished at 4pm, I ran for an hour or so, it would have been 5pm… then from school to here it would have had been another hour – and I slept. Thank goodness it’s not winter when the sun sets super early.

It should be past dinner time, so around 8 or 9pm.

I strolled around the neighborhood and reached somewhere less glamorous as to where Travis and his parents live.

I walked around for what seemed like forever. It was getting a bit chilly, and now it definitely was quite dark. There was barely a person outside. What if I get raped? Or worse, what if I get raped and murdered?

I stopped thinking these thoughts; I’m only going to scare myself.

Suddenly, someone grabbed my waist towards his beer belly. Oh my gosh, I’m in deep shit right now.

I let out the pitchiest scream I ever could and tugged him off my waist and ran forward. He chased me for a while, but he stopped.

I looked back, to see he was lying on the floor with someone over him. I couldn’t see who was over him so I decided to walk towards them. He was also coming towards me.

Fear hit me, what if he was the one wanted me for himself? Oh gosh.

I moved back again… Almost tripping over my own steps.

“Andrea, can’t you see me?”

“Oh my god, you know my name.” I said fearfully. However, his voice sounds familiar. I stopped moving and tried to get a better look of him.

“It’s me, Shane.” I let out a deep sigh. “You scared the pants off me!” I cried.

He laughed, “I thought I’d never see another expression of yours other than your usual disinterested one.” There are a lot of sides to me that you haven’t seen.
