When I climbed into the truck the first thing out of my father's mouth was
"Who was that" he asked
"Who the boy I was walking with" I asked in response
"Yes" my father said
"That was Peter Pan , he is new at school, today was his first day and I was showing him around"
"His name is Peter Pan " my father said
"Yes why"
"Do you remember the stories your mother and I told you when you were younger about a devil boy who would never grow up as long as he stayed on his island" my father asked
"Yes but they're just stories"
"No they aren't they are real and that boy Peter Pan is the boy from the stories. So you are not allowed to hang out with him at lunch or in the hallway, the only time is if he is in your classes" my father commanded.
I didn't even dare mention the fact that he is in every single one of my classes or the fact that he asked me out. My father seemed paranoid. I mean Peter wasn't that bad of a guy. He was really nice . I couldn't believe that Peter was the demon my father talk about and told me stories about. One story was that the demon child almost killed my brother when my brother unknowingly was tricked into giving the demon his heart. I would have never believed they were true if this topic hadn't come up. When we got home my father told my mother who he had seen. Then my mother went on a raging fit telling me how I should stay away from he and that he is evil and mean and causes nothing but trouble. I zoned out halfway through her fit so when she finally stopped talking Isaid " I'm going to do my homework" she gave me weirdest look like I had just missed her whole conversation, which to be honest I kind of did. I walked out of the kitchen up the stairs into my room where I shut the door behind me. I texted with Erin and Cassidy for a about twenty minutes but guess what they wanted to talk about, who else but Pan so I soon stopped answering their text until Erin sent me a text that shocked me.
"So what is going to be your answer to Peter tomorrow?" She texted
"What are you talking about ?" I texted back
"You know I heard the whole conversation between you and him downstairs in the lobby" she texted
"My answer will be no like I told him before" I texted back that ended our conversation. I continued to do my homework. It was about five thirty when my mom came to tell me dinner was ready and that we had a guest for dinner. I went down stairs and saw my brother standing by the kitchen table talking to my father. I ran over to him and gave him a huge hug. I could not believe that my brother was here I hadn't seen him since two years ago at Christmas. My brother worked in Maine at a construction company. I barely ever got to see him , only at major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Last year my brother had too much work to do so he couldn't come down. We all sat down to eat my favorite dinner, spaghetti.
"Hey how is school going" my brother asked
My mother and father stopped eating and so did I. We all just look at each other until I answered him. "School is going well" I said trying not to bring up the topic about Pan again.
"Am I missing something" my brother asked.
"Well it's just that there is a new student at her school that we are worried about" my mother said
"Ok well what's wrong" my brother asked.
"It's Peter Pan" my father said.
My brother stop eating,and before I got another lecture about how I should stay away from Pan I excused myself and ran to my room. From my room I could hear my brother and my parents talking about Pan. I tried to ignore the conversation the best I could and continued to do my homework. When I was finished I packed my backpack and laid down on my bed just thinking about what my brother went through. I still could not believe that the Pan I met today was the Pan that nearly killed my brother. After about twenty minutes of just thinking I realized the best way to clear my mind was to take a shower. So I grabbed my pajamas and went to the bathroom. When I was in there I went to turn on the lights and when I did the lights wouldn't turn on. All I thought was that the bulbs blew so I went downstairs to the hall closet and grabbed two lightbulbs. This time when I tried the lights before changing them they turned on. So I just put the lightbulbs I had grabbed on the bathroom counter and got into my shower. When I finished and I was getting dressed the lights went out again but by this time it was dark outside so I could barely see what was doing. The only thing that was lighting up the room was the street light shining through the curtain that covered the window. I was brushing my hair when I saw something go by the window. I walked over to the window and pulled open the curtain. I looked through the window and saw something that terrified me. A shadow with glowing blue eyes was hovering in front of the window. I screamed and ran out of the bathroom. My brother and both my parents came racing up the stairs. I was nearly crying.
"What's wrong" my brother asked
"The window, I saw a shadow in the window." I said sniffling. My father went into the bathroom and looked out the window. Then came back out with a worried look on his face.
"There's nothing there," he said
"There was, I saw it, a shadow of a boy probably my age, with glowing blue eyes just floating outside the window" I said in response.
"Why don't we get your stuff out of the bathroom and you can go to bed" my mother said.
"Ok" I responded
We went in grabbed my stuff I went into my room shut the door behind me and went to bed. Knowing I was going to school in the morning.
