Why Me?

I'm Not Crazy...(Chapter 3)

I scoffed when I seen what kind of car they got. They got a Mercedes Benz. They must be rich with a car like that. "Are you going to get in the car or keep gawking at the car with your mouth open?" Logan said cruelly. I felt my cheeks start to get hot so I walked to the back seat with my head hung low. Whats his problem? Rodger got in the driver seat and adjusted the mirrors. "Are you okay back there, Tessa?" Thats his first time saying my name. "Yep I'm fine, thank you." I said politely. My mom said back when I was younger, to always be nice and lady-like to a guy when I'm in his presence and espcially if he Is doing something nice for me. It was one of the few tips she shared with me that I've always remembered. I miss those times. "So, are you going to give us directions to your house or just daydream about kissing your crush?" Logan asked me. Rodger shoved Logan with one hand. "Can you at least try to be nice?" Rodger whispered to Logan, thinking that I can't hear him. "First of all, I wasn't daydreaming about my crush and second of all, I don't have a crush, third of all, you just keep going straight on Allen and then make a left when you get to Tropical and then keep going down to Indian Horse st. and then just look for 4239." I say nervously. Why doesn't Logan like me? What did I do to him?

When we got to Tropical rode I seen a man figure, very distinct standing in the middle of the rode. I thought my eyes was playing tricks on me, but when we got closer I seen that the man figure was getting bigger and bigger. When we so close to him that I could actually see his face, I recognized him. It was the stalker. I don't think Rodger and Logan seen him because they kept getting closer. My stalker raised his hands as if in surrender, when Rodger sped to a stop. He had a bead of sweat drip down his head. I turned and looked back at the stalker.....but he wasn't there anymore. I looked around frantically. I looked at Logan, who looked more angry than scared. "You seen him too, didn't you? Both of you seen him....." I said relieved. "That means I'm not crazy and that I was right!" I said. Logan and Rodger looked at each other for a long time and then Logan said,"What are you talking about? We didn't see anything....Right, Rodger?" He said to his friend very slowly, as if it was a question for himself to answer too. Rodger didn't answer right away but then about a few minutes later I heard a short whisperd,"Right", come out of his mouth. A wave anger took hold of me. Why would they lie about something so stupid. I know they seen him becasue they sped to a stop, a person that hadn't seen him wouldn've just kept going."What do you mean you didn't see him? I know you seen him because you wouldn't have sped to a stop if you didn't. I know what I saw and you guys can't hide the truth either." I said with forced confidence. "Rodger and I seen a little bunny and he is a animal lover so he sped to a stop." Logan said weakly. I knew he was lying but he was trying to cover it up for some unknown reason... "You don't have to lie because I know that you are. It's not like anybody would believe me. Just tell the truth....please." I said pleading. A defeated sigh escaped Rodger mouth. "She was going to find out anyways we might as well tell her." He said to Logan, sounding defeated. "Tell me what?" I asked a little suprised and  relieved. What was I suppose to find out? Now I'm curious. "Tessa, we didn't come here for school, we came here because we are on a mission, a very important mission that involves you." Rodger said, carefully, like he didn't want to scare me away. "And what does this have to do with me?" I asked. What the heck are they talking about? I think when we sped to a stop some peices of their brain shot out. "Tessa, me and Logan aren't like normal people...we are.....different." He say as if he is talking to a little kid that doesn't understand a math question.  "We are not quite....human." He says. A long awkward pause taking hold.

A charge of anger hits me. I mean I know that I may sound crazy ,telling them that other people never seen my stalker, but seriously, they don't have to make fun of me. Like I would actually be stupid enough to believe that they ,'are not quite human'. "Really, Rodger? I mean I know that Logan is mean me but I never expected that  you were just as bad." I force out."Hey I'm not mean to you, I just don't particulary like you and I show it." Logan said with a satasfied smirk. "No Tessa, I'm telling you the truth, I mean it may sound crazy and all, but you have to trust me right now, okay?" He says. I  sigh." Well if you aren't human, then what are you?" I ask, not really interested. "Not quite human" Logan corrected. "Whatever, can you just answer the question please?" I ask, getting annoyed. Rodger lets out a shaky sigh that leaves the hair on my back standing right up. Now I'm getting nervous. "I'm a-" Rodger was interupted by this tapping noise that was coming from the trunk of the car. At that point I'm seriously nervous. C'mon if you was in the car with me and you heard that same tapping noise you would've been the same way..., trust me. Rodger got out of the car very calmly and went behind the car and opened the trunk very slowly...I thought Rodger face expression was a little suprised and then he covered it up with his smile. He picked up a plastic bag out of the trunk and then got back into the car. "What's in the bag?" I asked. What the hell? What's in that plastic bag? "Nothing just something I lost a while back." He said casually, like it was no big deal. I thought I heard a hint of forceness and confirmation, as if that was the end of the conversation on that subject. We all rode the rest of the way in silence....

When Rodger drove up to my house I couldn't wait a second longer to take off that stupid seat belt and get the hell out of that nice car. I muttered my good byes and thank you's and got out and went inside. When I got inside my house it was nice, warm, and cozy. Just the way I liked it. 

"Hey, how did you get here so early?" My mother asked behind me. "Oh I got a ride from these new boys at my school, they were polite enough to actually give me a ride since I showed them around." I said a little nervously. Why am I acting like this? "Oh, well thats nice of them and of you." She said distinctly. There was a huge awkward silence. My mom looked like she was lost in thought, so I went in my room and turned some music on. I was just about to take a shower, when I heard a tap on my window. I looked and seen that it was.....Logan? What is he doing here? I opened the window and was just about to ask him that, when he said, "Tessa, I know we didn't finish our conversation in the car, but we'll have to explain it when we are in a better place. Can you probably come to our house tomorrow?" He asked sternly. "Wait, isn't tomorrow Friday?" I asked. "Yeah, and?" He said impatiently. "I have to go to Daniel's house tomorrow....Wait, Daniel invited you and Rodger, why can't you guys come?" I asked, even though I knew exactly why. "I don't know, me and Rodger have to talk about this first, okay?" He said. I muttered an 'okay' and then he left. What Is going on here? This is serously freaking me out. If they are playing a trick on me, then they are so dead. I went into the bathroom and closed and locked the door and then I just stared at my reflection in the mirror. I know it's weird and all, but I want to see if this is really me. This girl In the mirror looks like me, but it doesn't seem like she is truly me. I am feeling sorrow and exasperation inside of me, but all I see In the mirror Is a girl that Is scowling at herself. Have you ever had that feeling like you just want to give up? Well thats how I felt....I felt like.....nothing. I felt like.....nothing....
