The Nameless Boy

2

I woke up feeling nervous for some reason, theres nothing going on at school and i didnt have any bad dreams so im not sure why im feeling like this :/, I look over to my bedside table where my alarm clock is and its already 8am and I know im going to be so late for school since first period starts at 8:30.

I quickly get out of bed and put my school uniform on, i head to the bathroom and since im not going to have enough time to eat breakfast i just brush my teeth and tie my long brown hair up lazily. Since our house is only one story i only have to walk a short distance to the kitchen where mum is rushing to get me out the door 'hurry Venus your going to be late for school, iv already packed lunch for you which is in your bag which is on the table, bye now love i have to go to work' and with that she kisses my forehead and leaves for work. I quickly grab my bag and swing it over my shoulders and head out the door to start walking to school.

I lock the door and stat walking which is always so peaceful but then as soon as you walk into the school gates its ruined by all the gossiping girls and tension between different people. School can be horrible but if your hanging out with the right people you can make it fun and your day will be so much better, iv learnt that over my school years.

I find my group of friends standing around outside of the library where we usually meet but as soon as i get there the first siren goes off indicating first period so as soon as i say hello to them im having to say goodbye but im just glad im not late.
I check my timetable and my first period for today is Art which i find really enjoyable even though im not too good at it. I find my way to the classroom and walk in seeing that half the class is already there. I go and sit next to my friend Megan who im not that close with but she's the only reasonable person to sit with in this class. "Hey Venus!" She half yells as i sit next to her
"Hi Megan, im just here you dont need to yell"
"Oh sorry V, you know I have a loud voice" she says quieter
"Yes i know" i say giggling and for the rest of that period we sat there together painting our projects and enjoying each others company.

The rest of the day went rather fast, I'm now at home sitting on the couch watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with my packet of maltesers. This has always been my favourite thing to do because of how relaxing and comfortable it is and how amazing maltesers are.
The show finishes and my Malteser packet is now empty and mum still isn't home from work so i decide to grab my skateboard and go outside. I drop my skateboard to the ground making it land perfectly, i put one foot on and push off of the ground with the other making the board slowly go forward. I keep doing this only harder and the wheels start turning faster against the road and i can feel the wind in my hair & in this moment nothing really mattered. It feels so good to be on my skateboard because it just feels like im getting away from any drama or problems im having and in that moment its like im in my own little perfect world.
After a few times around the block I head back home and see mums car indicating me that shes home. I get to my drive way and I kick my skateboard up to catch it and i walk in side to see mum.
"Hey Venus how was school today?" She asks as soon as i walk into the house
"It was alright."
"Where were you skating?"
"Just around the block" i say as i put my board down next to the front door, "whats for dinner?"
"Lasagna."
And with that I go into my room, closing the door behind me. I flop onto my bed and grab my phone. '5:06pm' the clock reads and i have at least 30 messages from one of the group chats I'm in with my three best friends Daisy, Taylor & Nicki. As I start typing to send a message back I start feeling really cold like someone has put the aircon on really high which is weird because its only Autumn and mum doesn't like putting the aircon on since it cost so much money to run. I don't think anything of it and i keep typing until i feel something tickle the back of my leg. I shoot up off of the bed so I'm standing in the middle of the room, i see that my curtains and moving but the window is completely closed. It feels weird. Like something isnt right, it feels like there is someone watching me but not just watching, really looking closely at every move i make. It always feels like this but never anywhere apart from my room and when im home alone, also when im walking back and from school and when im in class but there never is anyone looking at me. Weird thing is, it had never felt like this until he moved in next door.
