I opened my locker, swinging my backpack over my shoulder. Then I grabbed my skateboard and headed to the school doors. It was the last day of school. I guess I made it through highschool. Next year I start college.
I guess I'm kind of excited, but for now I have a whole summer to relax and get away from essays and geometry.
As I exit the school, I throw my skateboard on the ground and hop on.
I stop at my house and unlock the door. I hurry to my room and flop on my bed, pulling out my phone. I look at my texts, and start with my girlfriend Alice. She sent me a ton of texts, so I look at them. Mostly about the party she went to.
I turn off my phone and stuff it in my pocket. I roll of the bed and decide to go to my friend Eddie's house. I rush down the stairs and out the door.
I jump on my skateboard, which was right were I left it, on the driveway. As I ride I see a white cat with black spots, and it seemed to be following me. I decided to ignore it, because it was a waste of my time.
But then, out of nowhere, a man in a black suit tackles me. He pinned ms to the ground and I could smell his rotten breath. Then the cat leaped on top of the man and scratched his face. The man was keeping me pinned, but was fending of the cat too. The man pulled a knife from his belt, and cut the cat. The cat came tumbling off, and the man turned back to me. He twirled it threateningly, and lifted it. I was to shocked to do anything, and there were no people around anyway.
As he brought it down, I heard a gunshot, and the man fell on me blood dripping from his neck. I heaved him off of me and scrambled away, trying to forget this.
