O Positive

Chapter 2

June 15th was the day I received an anonymous phone call. I was walking home from the miserable place I call school. It was Friday and the last day of school which I was glad for. It was drizzling that day but not very cold. My phone started to ring and I hesitantly answered. The caller ID said Unknown Number. Who the hell would call me? Not like I have that much friends.

I answered " H-Hello?"

A male voice answered the phone. I had no clue who this person is? How the hell did he get my freaking number?

 " Meet me at 7 on the school courtyard. Don't be late, If you are there will be consequences.

I said " Who the hell is this?!"

The phone line went dead. I looked around trying to find out if I was being followed. I saw a hooded figure that quickly disappeared with the blink of an eye.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I decided that I would speed walk home since I was being extremely paranoid at the moment. I looked back with each step, almost tripping each time. The only weird thing is that each time I turned around, I saw the same hooded figure. This made me walk faster until I got to my adoptive parent's house. I hastily walked in, slammed the door, and locked it. I turned around to meet Jess's worried expression.

Before she could speak, I rapidly said " Don't worry, everything is fine, just trying to be safe as always."

She cocked one eyebrow and said  " Ok, It just looks like someone or something spooked you pretty badly."

I said " Don't worry, everything is perfectly fine." A bit to quickly.

Before Jess could say anything else, I ran up to my room and slammed myself face first on the bed. I loudly groaned but it was muffled by the fluffy pillows. I turned over and looked at my watch realizing it was only 4:15 PM. What was I going to do for the next 2 hours and 45 minutes. I decided to pick up the guitar Jess and Casey got me and sing The A Team by Ed Sheeran. I started to strum the guitar and sing the chorus.

And they say

She's in the class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since 18

But lately, her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries but

They scream the worst things

In life come free to us cause

Were just under the upper hand

Go mad for a couple grams

She don't wanna go outside tonight

And in a pipe she flys to the motherland

Sells love to another man

It's to cold outside

For angels to fly

I stopped struming and looked at my watch again. It was only 4:25 PM. Only 10 minutes passed?! I sighed loudly and put the guitar down. I laid back on my bed staring at the ceiling. Then, I started to slowly drift off to sleep, totally forgetting about the phone call.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up feeling kinda refreshed, but then I remembered about that stupid call.I cursed silently to myself. I checked my watch and it read 6:00 PM. I quickly got out of bed and searched arund my room until I found my pocket knife. What Jess and Casey doesn't know is that I  went back to my old house and I was just looking around until I came to my parents room. I found it on the night table. I took it and kept it for emergencies. I took the knife and hid it in my sleve. I ran down the stairs and quickly went to talk to Jess and Casey.
