•BANG!•
I wake up suddenly from a loud crash. I
open my eyes wide.
"What in the hell was that?" I whisper
to myself.
I live alone I think to myself. I sit up
fast. My feet fall to the floor and I get
up suddenly. I take three steps before I
stop again. A rush of cold wind blows
past me and I immediately get
goosebumps everywhere from head to
toe. I look around. No windows open or
fans going... It shouldn't even be
slightly cold out. It's the middle of June
in North Dakota. I walk out my
bedroom door and into the hallway. I
look down it. There's nothing there. I
walk down the hallway and open the
door to the bathroom. I flick the light
on. Nothing here. I make my way out
the hallway and into the opening of my
kitchen and front door. Nobody or
nothing there. I turn always into my
living room. Nada. TV is not on or
anything either. I sigh. Maybe that was
just the neighbors or something
coming from outside somewhere. I go
to the kitchen and open the fridge. I
pull out some ham, mayonnaise, and
cheese. I grab the bread and make a
sandwich. I put everything away. I
make my way to the living room and sit
down on the couch. I turn the TV on
and Keeping up with the Kardashians.
I keep it on. Within 10 minutes I
finish eating my sandwich. I turn the
TV off and go back to my room to get
dressed. I go to my closet and go
through my clothes. I change into a
pink Nike shirt and black leggings. I
go to my bathroom and look into
the mirror. Shit. I'm getting a pimple.
I grab my foundation and smear it all
over my face. I rub and blend it in.
I grab my mascara and put some on.
Lastly, I grab my eye-liner and put it
on, making a wing at the end of it.
•DING!•
My phone goes off. It was a text from
my best friend, Jen.
Hey wanna hang out? The text
message read.
I hit reply and text back Yes, I'm just
about to head out. Want me to
pick you up in 20?
About 30 seconds later I get a text back
saying Yes! Sure! 😊 I'll be ready
then! See you soon.
I reply See you soon.
I go to my front door and slide on my
black Nike tennis shoes. I grab my
purse and check I have everything I
need.
I look for my keys but can't find them.
I look around my house and see them
over on the kitchen counter. I go to the
counter and grab them. I make my way
out the door and towards my car. I get
into my car and turn the radio on. I
take my phone out and text Jen,
Leaving now should be there in
about 15 minutes. See you soon.
I out my phone down and make my
way to go get Jen.
