Eyes

          Run.  Just run.  These were the only thoughts as I came from the bus stop after school.  I'm finally done with the day, I thought to my self.  Today was honestly one of the worst days I have had in a while.  It just seems as if the tormenting wouldn't stop. 
          I keep running until I reach my house.  I reach into my pocket to find my keys to unlock the door.  As I pull out the lanyard that my keys are attached to a note falls out and onto the porch.  I unlock the door and then bend over to get the note.  It was folded into a tight wad.  I unfolded the worn paper and tried to read the handwriting of someone who must have been three due to their spelling, the form of their sentences, and the way they shaped their letters. 
          The note stated:
     iM soRRY to LEaVe THis NoTe wiTH YoU bUT i ReaLLY Need TO TaLk To YoU        MeeT Me UNdeR THe big koTappa TRee aFTeR YoU Read THiS
                                 Love
                                    One of the Hendits
          Well then, I thought to my self, which one could it possibly be, I mean there are eight of them and why? 
          I decided to head over to the kotappa tree down by the opening by the creek.  I wish I could just relax, I thought but then again like thirty percent of my life is spent doing nothing.  I should probably get out more than I do because the other seventy percent is spent eating or watching T.V. 
          I walk down to the tree and I see a person that looks like Lynn Hendit.  All that is going through my mind is why the fuck does such a beautiful girl have such shitty handwriting.  As I get closer I see she's mounting a camera and leaving a set of overly obnoxious googly eyes on the tree.  Once she finishes her mission of sorts I see her run and last I saw of her was a twist of her long, smooth black hair.
          I walk down to see just exactly what was happening and I noticed that the camera was following my movement.  What a creep.  As I get down to the tree my attention immediately goes to the googly eyes which are even larger up close. I find another note this one hangs on the tree where the nose would be.  I quite honestly was not looking forward to trying to read barely legible English that almost resembles Korean. 
          When I remove the note I notice the handwriting is very different.  Much more girly. I start to walk as it gives me another place in our neighborhood to visit I hear the camera move to keep its lense on me.  The note told me to go to the largest scarecrow around which just so happens to be behind my house at the alpacca farm.  The note seems much like the other one I found in my pocket  until I reached the end and it said "All eyes are on you ♡."
