The Late Night Visit

Unexpected Visit

     Finally it's the fourth of July and I'm psyched to see the beautiful fireworks.

"I can't believe we ended up getting the week off!" I exclaim to Christina and Julie.

"I want pizza tacos, what about you two?" Christina turns to Julie and I. We both readily agreed to the food. Soon after we went to the rides at the amusement park that did the fireworks show. After going on a few rides I noticed that we were being followed.

I turn to Christina and Julie, "Hey don't be alarmed but I think we've been followed since the Drop of Doom."

"What are you talking about?" Julie asks sounding slightly confused.

"Just look but don't be obvious." She dropped her lip gloss and glanced back.

"You're right! I've seen that fellow all around here, I thought he did look suspicious."

"Ok how 'bout we lose him in that crowd." Christina points toward a crowd of several people infront of us and makes a mad dash towards them. We quickly follow suit. In between the pushing and shoving of the people around me, I could see the pursuer was Dante, and he didn't seem too pleased with the route we took. 

I wonder why he's following us, what if he's just following me....Chills go down my spine with that thought..

"Nah not possible." I say out loud earning a quizzical look from the girls

"It's nothing. Are you two ok?"

"Yeah, but i'm still a bit shaken up." Christina says

" We all are.." Julie adds in

After we get over our little paranoia shock crisis we go to the cafeteria and watch a little Looney Toons. After that we go to the Ferris wheel to watch the fireworks. We got tired and headed for the car. Suddenly, I heard something behind me, I turned around but nothing was there and it seemed I was the only one who heard the noise.

Hmmm must've been my imagination.

Once I got home I had an eerie feeling.

"Hello?" I call out to see if anyone's home. I see a note on the fridge

I'll be back by one see ya then , Love Dad

Ok so dad's out again, I have the house to myself, Cool.

I put on my pjs, shorts and a Nirvana t-shirt, then make sure everything is locked. I start blasting my music and dancing around the house. I hear a knock on the door, look at the time, and look through the peephole. I see a hazel eye staring back at me. I scream in shock and almost pass out.

Nick screams," HEY SAPPHIRE! ARE YOU OK? EVERYTHING ALRIGHT IN THERE?!?!

Nick is my neighbor and childhood friend. He's as tall as I am or an inch taller, he's a year younger than I am.

"Yeah I'm fine!" I say as I open the door, " Why are you here?"

"Your dad told me to check on you and when I heard the music I thought great she's having a party without me." He laughs to himself.

I walk to the kitchen. "Hey, do you want something to drink?"

"No thanks."

"So, are you going to stay here till my dad comes home or what?"

"You betch ya." He walks off and goes through the CD's I left out.

 "So,Nirvana?"  He asks as he picks up the CD I had in earlier.

"Yes so? Be careful with that!" I yell at him as he almost drops the CD to the floor, being his clumsy old self.

"So, any new boyfriends I should know about?" I become red at the question and immediately he notices.

" Damn it Nick! That's none of your business, stop asking such embarrassing things!"

"Ha ha you do! It's written ALL over your face! You know you've ALWAYS been a bad liar especially to me."

He has this smirk on his face that ticks me off a bit.

"Shut up Nick! I mean it!"

"What are you going to do huh?" He starts laughing his head off. I tackle and pin him to the ground.

"This is what im going to do!" I laugh sinisterly. His eyes widen as I start administering the Chinese torture.

"Just like the old days huh Nick." I say with a smile playing on my lips

"You know your boyfriend wouldn't be pleased if he saw you on top of me like this, or even heard about it."

I start to let spit dangle from my mouth, letting it get near his face and then withdrawing it each time. Finally he screamed.

"STOP!"

I let him go laughing till my sides hurt and there were tears in my eyes.

"Never bring my boyfriend into our matters understand?"

He nodded and then his eyes got wide.

"WAIT! You just admitted it!" He danced around gleefully.

"Damn you act like such a little kid for being fifteen!"

"I don't really care, I'm just being me. Who said I have to act old just because I'm getting old?"

"Well if I were you I'd reconsider that, because no one will be able to take you seriously and you'll be classified as immature." I look at him concerned.
