"You're always watching me, aren't you?"
—
I flutter my eyes in response to an unfamiliar scent. The crisp and clean aroma fills my nostrils, subtly nudging me awake.
I lift myself up, and one thing becomes clear:
I'm not in my room.
I look left- a light grey wooden table, to my right- a large wardrobe. It was a plain room, little to no color besides the blue bedsheets. I catch a hint of a lingering smell, a clean and wood scented cologne.
Did I go home with a man last night?
Oh no, no no.
Before I set myself on a full blown panic, I look down, I'm still in my costume, and there was no sign of anyone in the room.
I reach for my phone on the drawer and check it, shit.
Mom:
11:20: "Where are you?"
11:24: "Sakura?"
11:30: "Come home this instant."
11:31 "Are you safe?"

Her long line of texts ended there, leaving me with an overwhelming feeling of regret.
I scroll down, and find something unusual; a text from me, with really bad grammar:
Me: "I'm fjne I am wittjh Ino"
mom: "What??"
Me: "slepp over"
In contrast to my texts claiming I was at Inos, I know her house, this isn't it.
I slip on a cozy sweater and some sweatpants that I found neatly folded at the end of the bed, there wasn't any chance I would go downstairs wearing my outfit from last night.
I sucked in a breath and opened the room door expectantly.
The hallway was extremely familiar, I noticed the 5 doors to the right along with the door across from me that was at the end of the hall.
