I put the book on my bed. I lied down to read it.
I heard something outside. I heard footsteps.
It would probably be my mom. She always checks on me and my brother to make sure we are sleeping.

I could possibly not let anyone see what I'm reading!
I quickly hid the book under my pillow, pulled the blankets to my chin and pretended to sleep.
I heard my door open. And just to make sure that it actually was my mother, I opened my eyes and shut them again. It was my mom.
I started shivering. My mom came closer to me. She called my name. I gasped and got up. "Are you okay, dear?",she asked.
"Yes, I ... just had a nightmare",I hesitated.
She asked me if I wanted to sleep with her. I refused because I wanted to find out what the book was about.
