It was an oddly cold Friday morning in White Bridge.I was getting ready to take my morning run before I had to go to work. I slipped on my favorite pair of grey joggers and my blue Marilyn Monroe shirt that I had gotten for my birthday. I quickly pulled my dark brown hair up into a messy bun and made my way out the door. Once I got outside I seen my best friend Nichole sitting on the old, black swing in my front yard. She has light,blonde poker -straight hair with eyes as blue as a clear summer sky. She's always wearing expensive clothing and shoes such as Victoria Secrets and stuff like that. You really have to get to know her to like her though. "IZZY!" she screamed loudly once she spotted me. "NIKKY" I yelled back not quite as loud. As I got closer to her she started rambling on about a new gym that opened downtown. "We havvee to go, Iz!" she begged. I said in a bummed out voice, "I have to work today, sadly. Maybe we can go sometime this week when I'm off!" I could tell by the look on her face that she was going to ask me to call off, but before she had a chance to start talking again I quickly asked if she would like to go get coffee and jog with me. Obviously she said yes, she never says no to a chance to hang out with her best friend. We walked out the gate of my yard and began to jog to the coffee shop.

As we reach the coffee shop we see Nichole's asshole of a boyfriend, Jordan. God I hate him. He's such a jerk to everyone,even Nikky, but she's too dumb to leave him. "Aye babe, what's goodie" Jordan says to Nikky. "Heyyy J." Nikky said in the most girlish voice I've ever heard.It made me sort of sick to my stomach. They started to babble on and continued to leave me out of the conversation. "You finna go do somethin'?" he asked her.I started to say, "HA, doubtful..." before Nikky interrupted me and said, "Omg babe! I'd love to go do something!" I just rolled my eyes and walked away angrily.


While I walked down the street, I started to notice how quiet it was and how dead the town seemed. It was so quiet that I could hear the wind whistle loudly in my ear. I had a weird feeling I was being watched. I continued to walk around in the quite, dead town until I felt my phone vibrate. I was hoping it would be Nikky, even though I'm furious with her. It wasn't Nikky. The number that called my phone was restricted. I wasn't sure who it was so I ignored it. Moments after I rejected the call, my phone started to go off again, so this time I answered. "Hello.." a strange voice whispered. "Hello? Who is this?" I questioned. I heard laughing through the phone but it was hard to hear. "Don't ignore my calls, Isabell." The voice said through the phone, but before I could answer the quiet voice hung up the phone. My phone quickly rang again, "who is this!" I snapped. "You'll see." the random voice said then quickly hung up the phone once more. I decided to call of work because that phone call made me feel odd. I decided that I would go to the new gym that Nikky was telling me about.
