I dressed in a graphic tee, that says Queen Bee. A burgundy skater skirt, black booties, Red scarf, denim jacket, and grabbed my grey backpack for my stuff. I go downstairs and meet Zoe who is waiting for me. She is wearing a black skater skirt, with see through black tights, booties, a pretty statement necklace, and burgundy jumper. Her lip is a purple berry colour and she holds a black clutch. "Let's go." She says. I nod and we leave the house. "Bye Alf." She calls out. "Bye Zoe, bye Grace." Nala barks. "Bye Nala." I say and pat her head. She is soooo cute! We get into the mini and Zoe drives to the shopping centre.

By the end of the afternoon the cart is piled with notebooks, graph paper, computer programs, pencils, pens, drawing paper, planners, and organization stuff. The biggest thing we buy is a cupboard. Zoe says that we will buy locker items and I can keep my stuff in there. "Why don't we get a movie for tonight?" Zoe asks. "Yeah." I say. After picking up some movies we go to the car and load our large bags filled with binders and sorts. Zoe starts driving and we sing all the way home.

When we get home the house smells of pizza and soda. Alfie has ordered while we were out! We sit on the living room couch and Nala trots over to meet us. "Hi Nala." I say, and pat her head. She sits on Zoe's lap and licks her chin. While watching the movie, Alfie gets a few texts, I get some follower notifications from Twitter and Instagram, and Zoe gets a phone call from Louise. She tells Louise about how she wants to decorate a cupboard in the spare office like a locker and leans over to tell me that Louise is coming over tomorrow to help. I smile at this news. I still have not met Louise. When Zoe hangs up we take turns petting Nala until the film is over.

When it's done I go up the flight of stairs to my bedroom after saying goodnight to Zoe and Alfie. I shower, change into some pyjamas, and slide into bed, letting my dreams overcome me and as I sigh into my pillow, I fall slowly asleep.

I am not sure how it happened, but I woke up with beads of sweat on my forehead. I wiped them away and glanced at the clock. 1 am. Not even close to the sun rising. I sigh and push myself out of bed. Maybe a drink of water and a little walk will help. I creep down the stairs trying to make as little noise as possible. I get to the kitchen and pour myself some water into a cup. I also grab two soda crackers to nibble on. I didn't bother turning the light on, so the room is dark, and erie. When I finish my small snack I pull on my boots and coat, and leave a small note for Zoe incase she wakes to find me gone. I slide out the door and feel the cool night air stick to my skin. A small breeze blows lightly. I walk for a little while, not at all worried because our neighbourhood is one of the safest in Brighton. All of a sudden I spot a shadowy figure, who is standing a fair distance away. I back away slowly, but the figures bright eyes catch mine, and he runs after me. I don't know what to think except that I need to get home now. The figure gets closer. It is a man, and he is taller, stronger, and more importantly: Faster, then me. I push myself into the fastest sprint I can muster in my uggs. I suck in quick breath after quick breath. When I am just about a block away from home, the man grabs me, but it is not an aggressive grab. I can't see anything, his hand is over my eyes. He drags me into a backstreet and then removes his hand from my face. And I let out a breath I didn't realize I hadn't been holding.
