ALWAYS

THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER

After school, i walked back home and took a small nap on the couch. After 30 minutes i woke up and decided to clean up my wounds and go to the park. I headed upstairs to my room and quickly got the first aid kit out. I put a bandage on the scar on my cheek, after cleaning it with spirit, i opened the bandage on my nose, revealing a deep cut and put some ice on my black eye. After my cleaning session, i pit on another pair of clothes. I put on a white sleeveless top and black pants. After changing, i went downstairs and ate an apple as i locked the house.

I put headphones in my ears and began listening to music. The walk to the park was long and tiring. I sat on the bench and looked at the clear sky. There was a gentle breeze which swept through my hair. Everything was so peacefull and relaxing. I could smell the freshly cut green grass beneath my feet, Some lavenders and lilles bloomed close by, pigeons flew in the air, squirrels munched on acorn nuts, and a tree blocked the bright sun giving enough shade. I wished everything could be this relaxing.

I walked from the bench till the tiny river on the other side of the park. I saw a few people with their families. I smiled at the thought and glanced at the happy family once again. Little kids ran towards the water and splashed it on each other. I sat on a bench near the water and watched the crystal blue waters splash with each other. A gentle breeze swayed. I suddenly felt someone looking at me. When i turned around i saw a tall guy sitting at the bench i sat on before. He looked at me with his brown eyes. I quickly looked away. I sat on the bench for some time. I stood up and realized that it was now 4. I left the park instantly.

I started walking home when i felt like someone was following me. I looked behind and saw no one. I turned back infront and walked faster. The heavy thuds of my sneakers were the only sounds present. I reached home in a matter of minutes and quickly unlocked the door. I swiftly went inside the house and locked the door on the inside. I turned around and came face to face with the brown eyed stranger who i saw at the park. " hello my dear ellie!!!" he spoke with his rasped voice. I let out a loud gasp.
