Jeff the Killer love story

Chapter 18

Chapter Eighteen

I woke up the next morning and got ready for school. I put on a bubblegum pink Hello Kitty tanktop and some black leggings with my pink converse. I was up early enough so I decided to ride the bus to school. I had never took the bus before, but it wasn't that bad. At least everyone was quiet so I could get an extra 15 minutes of sleep. But school was boring until lunch, when I sat with Ariel and Jamie.

"Hey." I said with a big smile on my face.

"Hey, how was your dad's." Jamie asked.

"It was good. He had to work a lot, though." I said as I took a bite out of my sandwich.

"That's too bad." Ariel said.

"Yeah, but at least I got to see him." I said happily.

"Yeah." Jamie replied.

"What did you guys do all weekend?" I asked.

"We stayed at home and cooked food from Delia Smith recipes." Ariel replied.(Danosaurs!!)

"Sounds fun." I said.

"It was." Jamie agreed. The rest of the day I just listened to music on my ipod and drew pictures of Pokemon. I rode the bus home from school as well, but it was louder on the afternoon bus.

"Mom?" I yelled as I walked through the front door of my house.

"Yes?" She replied walking out of the kitchen.

"Can you make me some fried Bologna?" I asked.

"Sure." she said and walked back into the kitchen. I went upstairs and saw a note on my pillow. "If you want your cat back, meet me in the woods." It read. I sighed and started into the woods where I saw Jeff sitting on the ground playing with Grim.

"What do you want? I don't have time for this, I have food at home waiting for me." I said annoyed.

"I just wanted to see you." he replied.

"Well, you see me. Can I leave now?" I asked.

"Not if you want your cat." he said. I sat down next to him and we just sat down talked about music and random shit until my mom texted me.

"I have to go. I have to eat." I said to him. Then I hugged him and went home with Grim. I ate my Bologna and went up to my room and spent the rest of my afternoon on the Internet. I went to sleep early when my stomach started hurting, though.

When I woke up, I felt horrible. I rushed to the bathroom and threw up.

"Honey, are you okay?" my mom asked as she walked into the bathroom and held my hair back. I just shook my head and she started patting my back. When I was done, she told me to get back in bed and that I shouldn't go to school. I stayed in bed all day and watched television. Around noon Jeff crawled through my window and got in bed with me. We just laid together and watched TV for a few hoursand we were watching some show about cats when I got a call from Gabe.

"Hey, Gabe." I answered apprehensively.

"Hey, I heard you were sick." he said.

"Oh, yeah. I am." I replied.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." he said.

"I am, thanks," I replied quickly, "I have to go now. Bye." I had to end the conversation because Jeff seemed to be getting suspicious.

"Who was that?" Jeff asked.

"Just a friend." I replied and went back to watching the cat show. I saw him looking at me curiously in my peripherals. But I. don't. care what he thinks as long as it's about me. Jeff had to hide every time my mom came into the room, but it was difficult to know when she was coming because she walked so lightly. Thankfully, she knew how to knock. I was sick for the rest rest of the week as well and unfortunately I knew that that meant I would have a lot of work to make up.

The next Monday, I walked into homeroom with a note from my mom excusing my absences. The teacher asked me if I was okay and gave me a "Get Well" card that everyone in the class had signed. I sat down in my seat and looked at all of the names and started wiggling my butt in my seat. I started to shake my legs and eventually I was bouncing up and down like a maniac.

"Miss Hartt, is there a problem? Do you need to go to the restroom?" Mrs. Johnson asked me.

"Huh?" I said oblivious to what was going on as the room started spinning." Oh, I'm okay." I lied. She went back to teaching and I put my head on the desk. I remembered that I hadn't taken my meds in a week due to my sickness. I had ADHD and I got a bit strange when I didn't have my medication. I started to pull out my hair one strand at a time while blurting out a random word every five minutes. There was about 50 blue strands of hair on my desk when the girl next to me asked me to stop because it was creeping her out. I heard the teacher ask the class if they knew the answer to a question so I raised my hand.

"Lyric." she called on me.

"Can I get back to you on that?" I asked with a grin on my face. She got an unamused look on her face and called on another student. I did this a few more times before she gave me detention.

As I sat down at the lunch table, Ariel and Jamie smiled at me.

"Hey, where've you been?" Ariel asked.

"Nowhere in particular." I answered with a creepy smile on my face. They both looked at me weird and I went about picking apart my lunch to get to the good parts. During lunch, I was quieted twice by two different teachers because I kept yelling out random things like "O'doyle rules!" and I kept throwing my food at the backs of random people trying to get them to not notice. I went home that day by skipping all the way to my house. When I got home I decided to take my meds so that I could focus on my homework and I wanted to see Jeff to talk about our 'feelings'. Ew.
