Obsessed

"Valentina"

Valentina would be running as fast as she could down the alley way, her breathing would be hard and fast. As she'd be running, Valentina turns her head to check if there was anything behind her. She was scared. Scared enough to think that this might be the last night of her life. She'd hide behind a wall of a old warehouse, hearing faint footsteps around the corner. She'd place her hand on her chest, feeling her heart racing so fast that a heart monitor could explode. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, her breathing would become louder before placing her hand onto her lips to prevent attracting unwanted attention from the unknown specimen. She'd see the unsettling silhouette as her intense brown eyes would widen with horror, shivers crawling down her spine. Looking up, she'd notice a familiar face before letting out a horrifying scream. Then..everything went blank.

Valentina quickly sat up in her bed, sweating so much her pillow was drenched. She'd turn her head left and right, scanning the area carefully to check that this was reality. 

*Beeping from an alarm clock*

Her attention would be drawn to the clock as the beeping would continue anonymously. Rolling her eyes, she'd place her rather small finger onto the "sleep" button before sliding out of bed. Valentina would quickly style her hair into a rough ponytail for the meanwhile so she can wash her face with nice cold water. Whilst she was walking to the bathroom, she'd approach her younger brother. He's around 10 and has dirty blonde coloured hair, styled as a hedgehog (as Valentina sees it). 

"Hey Valentina! Can you make me breakfast this morning"

 Benjamin, her little brother, had a voice which was rather high pitched for a boy even though he has not experienced puberty yet like Valentina has.  

  "Sorry bud, i've got to be somewhere this morning. Ask dad, he cuts your toast better than i can!" 

"But daddy isn't awake yet!"

"Go wake him up then"

Benjamin would roll his eyes with attitude, as he'd walk away towards his bedroom. It didn't surprise Valentina that he acts this way, he get's it all from his sister. She'd grin at this before opening the door to the bathroom. She was staring at her reflection for a moment, thinking about how much she was dreading meeting up with Harrison. Harrison had a massive crush on Valentina for years, and he's finally grown the confidence to ask her out. Although she specifically said that this was not a date, he continues to boast to other guys in school..even though they obviously couldn't care for the slightest .

After Valentina rinsed her face and brushed her teeth, she'd start applying a little bit of makeup. She wasn't really a fan of makeup because she thought she looked a bit like a panda once she's applied her eyeliner, even though the guys still think that she's pretty attractive. I mean.. it still attracts Harrison, right? Her thoughts would ramble in her head, continuing to apply the eyeliner. Once she was done, she re-styled her hair into a side plat. Not being sure about the side plat, she shrugged and put the nose ring into her septum piercing. She liked her piercing because she thought it kind of expressed her, girly but edgy at the same time. She smiled at this thought, sliding on her oversized jumper and her skinny jeans that she bought from the U.S. Valentina would push her lips together, questioning whether or not if she would wear this particular outfit. She'd shake her head asking herself why she was even bothered, she'd make her way down stairs. 

"Hey, Ben.. I'm going now"

Whilst she'd say this, she would grab her parka coat from the coat hook. It was quite chilly outside as it would be around late Autumn, and Autumn in England.. it's cold.

"Valentina.."

"Yes?"

"Can you get me something whilst your out?" 

Valentina would roll her eyes with slight fustration, he knew she doesn't have alot of money to spend.. so why did he ask? 

"I knew you'd ask this.."

"Please Val."

"No, i'm basically broke. How about you save up money and start doing chores around the house"

"But i'm too young!"

"Yeah yeah, whatever. I'll see you later Ben."

"I love you!"

"Yeah, love you too.."

Benjamin really loved his sister, and looks up to her as a role model. He's adorable really, but she finds him quite irritating.. but then again, which sister doesn't find their sibling annoying? She'd open the front door, locking it behind her before sliding her hands into her coat pockets. The walk to the café isn't really that long but considering it was cold and horrible, she thought it takes forever.
