The Story of How Skyler Taylor's Cliche Life Turned Upside Down - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

I clenched the bleeding mark and screamed at the agonizing pain. I found the strength in myself to get up and run to my bathroom. When I looked at the mark in the mirror it was huge. It looked like an oversized animal bit me.

That doesn't explain how I got in my bed. Did Luis bring me back? I don't think so. By the time I got bit I was in the middle of no where. If he would have been close to where I was running he would have heard my screams for help.

Someone else took me home and Im determined to find out who. I had to get this bite cleaned so I reached for the alcohol with hesitation. I thought it over and its a good idea, I don't want it getting infected or something.

I poured it over the wound and clenched my teeth so I wouldn't scream. I searched my first aid kit and picked up the biggest band-aid to put over it. I smudged Neosporin over the whole thing before putting the bandage over it.

I proceeded to get ready for school. I pulled on a black tank top and made sure it covered my band-aid then slipped up red skinny jeans. I looked at my shoe collection, at my heels and my flats. I glanced at my sneakers but I didn't want to give the wrong impression at school. I picked my Black Faux Suede Cutout Bow open toed heels.

I took one last look at my aching back then ran downstairs. Its early so I think I'm gonna eat breakfast here. Mom was standing in front of the stove so I walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. "Hey sexy momma." she giggled at my comment as I continued to talk. "You gonna make me some breakfast too?" She looked over at me and smiled at my question.

"You're actually gonna eat breakfast at home? What a shocker. Of course I'll make you some food. Grab a plate." I grabbed a plat and held it towards my mom. She put scrambled eggs and bacon on it as I sat down at the table. "Here honey."

"Thanks mom." It became silent when I started to eat. Dad was already at work, I don't get to see him much but at least I see him when he gets home at 7. I got up and put the empty plate in the sink. "Bye mom see you after school love ya." I called to her. I grabbed my leather jacket off the coat hanger and put it on.

"Bye honey, see you later." She yelled back to me.

I walked outside and across the street I saw this guy. He was just standing there staring at me. He was wearing black jeans and a white T-shirt. He had short brown hair and big brown eyes. He looked like he was staring in my soul. I just ignored him and hopped on my bike and started towards the school.

I parked my bike in the same spot I parked it everyday but when I got there today Luis was already there. He looked like he was confused or pissed I just couldn't put my finger on it. I parked next to him and took off my jacket.

"What the hell happened to you? I went to take a piss for five minutes and when I come back you're gone. I went looking for you for an hour and I couldn't find you at all." He said it all with a worried tone in his voice.

"Something was in the woods. It scratched my arm. Look!" I turned so he could see it but there wasn't anything there.

"Oh yeah that looks terrible." He said sarcastically.

"Im serious. I really like you and I wouldn't have just left like that plus you were my ride home. I wouldn't have left the person that was supposed to take me home." I looked straight down at the floor as I talked.

"How did you get home anyway?"

"I have no idea. Im telling you the truth, something chased me last" I stopped myself in the middle of my sentence. I don't want him to think I'm crazy so I bit my tongue.
