"Hey mom I'm home" I ran upstairs and locked myself in my room to change into comfortable clothes, "I hate how we have to wear school uniforms." I look at the time; "I have 15 minutes to get to the library. I wonder what Eric has to talk to me about, it seemed out of the ordinary, the way his voice sounded, he seemed a bit concerned, and serious and he's always joking around. That's probably why I like him so much, he just doesn't know yet, no one does." I thought to myself, " I guess mom isn't home yet because I didn't hear her reply when I got home, so I'll just write her a note." "I'm heading out to meet Eric at the library, be back shortly." "I guess that sounds okay, I'm not much of a writer, but hopefully she doesn't get worried." I thought, I arrive at the public library. I walk in and I see his face light up."Hey Eric" I say excitingly. We do our secret handshake, and give each other the biggest hug, as if it had been months since we've seen each other.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" I tried not to sound too excited but I really wanted to know. Interruptedly, we see a strange guy walk in, maybe my dads age or older, he sits down across from where we are maybe two tables away picking up a book to read.
"Anyway, that was weird, did you see the way he looked at me?" I said a bit concerned.
"Yeah, that was weird it was like it was in slow motion or something." He says.
"Haha yeah, anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Oh well, um, I wanted to invite you to go to the movies with me sometime, since we are on summer break and all." He said.
Another interruption occurred, my phone vibrates in my pocket, I look to see and its Alice, the text says:
"Hey girl, I'm having a Sleepover party tonight at my house at 7, sorry for the late notice I just got a new phone, anyway, I also really want you to meet my boyfriend, My new address is 1201 Oakview Lane,76509"
"Who is it?" Eric says.
"Oh, its just Alice she's inviting me to another party at her house, she's seems like she's fine, judging by the fact that its been months since we've talked, and I guess she has a boyfriend, seems like its nothing new." "Oh yeah! Johnny I think...he kinda creeps me out, and gives me weird vibes...I don't like him" Eric says concerned, I reply to the text "hey, sure Ill be there! But Im babysitting Grace, is it okay if she comes?" I silence my phone and put it in my pocket.
"Sorry, so what's wrong with Johnny?
"I don't know he's just strange, I wouldn't trust him for a second, so if you go to the party tonight, I'd be careful." Eric says I look at the time and its almost 6:30 just a half hour till Alice's party.
"Okay I'll keep that in mind, thanks, I gotta go, Alice's party starts soon, I'm gonna use the bathroom real quick then leave. Are you going to Alice's party?" I say
"No, I'm not a party type person, I don't know why you're going, you and her don't really get along when you're together. Are you going to the pool tomorrow?" Eric says while giving me a hug.
"well, its been awhile since we've seen each other, and oh yeah 12pm right?" I say, without making it seem like I forgot. "yup, see you there!" Eric says while he walks out. I head to the bathroom. When I walked out, I see the same strange man standing there in front of me, holding my phone. "Excuse me Miss, is this yours?"
"Oh! Yes...thank you. I guess it fell out of my pocket."
I reached out to get it, he gave it to me, and touched my hand, I noticed he has a tattoo on his wrist of a spider. "No problem" he said with a grin on his face. I look at my phone, I see a text from Alice, Its opened, hm, weird, it reads: "yeah! bring Grace, she'll be fine here." Alice says. I walk out of the library and head home, I walk in to see mom and Grace talking about dinner. "Hey mom!" I close the door behind me and give her a hug. "Hey honey, how was school?" as she smiles. "It was good, Alice invited me and Grace to a sleepover party at her house, can we go? Its at 7" I say. "Yay a party!" Grace interrupts. "Alice? You guys still talk?" Mom says with a confused look on her face. "Yeah, sometimes, so is that a yes?" "yeah, I guess, be safe" as mom kisses me on the cheek along with a hug. "Okay we will, thank you! I love you so much!" I run upstairs and start packing as fast as I can. "Okay, Deodorant, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Makeup, Extra Clothes, I'm good to go." I thought to myself. "Grace! we have to leave!" "Okay!" she replies. We run out and get in my car, I put the address in my phone and drive off.
