BRING! BRING!

I rolled off my bed and went to answer my phone.

“Hey, Elyssa,” I said,enthusiastically. Elyssa was my best friend, even though we are complete opposites. She is a bit of trouble maker while I am completely a goody two shoes. I always worked very hard in school, and I never disobeyed my parents. Ever.

“Guess where we are going tonight,” she sang happily.

“Haha, Elyssa, I know we’re going to your house to watch some movies,” I said, a bit confused as why she was asking. I sense trouble...

“Not anymore! We are going to all-ages club,” she said happily. Not again.

“I heard those are really dirty and full of bastards, I am not sure I want to go,” I replied, knowing my parents would never approve.Plus I didn't have a death wish so soon. God knows what happens in those clubs.And trust me I don't even want to know.

“Come on Katherine, you never do anything fun! Just tell your parents you are going to a party with adult supervision. Technically if you consider a club a party and the DJ an adult, you aren’t even lying,” she pointed out. okay..that was confusing.

“Elyssa, I love you, but I am not going. No matter how much you beg and plead, I am not going. You know I cant go out anyways,” I stated firmly. Both my parents were out of town for the weekend, and I wasn’t allowed to go out. Don’t get me wrong, I love Elyssa, but I hate how she always is trying to pressure me to do wrong things. I worked hard in school, and I don’t want to make a regretful mistake at a stupid club. I have come too far to throw away all my hard work.

“Ugh, fineeee. I will go alone and get ALL the cute boys to myself,” she said trying to lure me in. That might have worked if I would have been the way I am.

“I cant date until I am eighteen, so it doesn’t matter,” I replied feeling sorry for myself.

“Whatever party pooper. I will hang out with you tomorrow to make up for it though, okay?” she said, giving up.

“Okay and I am sorry. But you know…” I trailed off.

“Don’t worry Katherine. It’s fine; I understand why you wouldn’t want to go.okay, I have to go and get ready. Bu-byeeeee!” she said, back to her hyper, cheery self. I chuckled quietly.

“Bye Elyssa.”

I ended the call and hopped back on my bed to continue working on homework. I always do my homework on Saturday because then I get to have Sunday off. I was considered a nerd at my school, so I only had Elyssa and few other close friends. It was worth it though. I never regret being the goody two shoes. I don't know  why being a nerd was considered as a bad thing.

At around 9 p.m. I managed to finish my hw, and went over to the TV area upstairs. I turned on the Big Band Theory  and began to draw. I have a huge passion to draw since childhood.

I really got into my drawing and ended staying up till 1 a.m. when I  was finished. My eyes were red and tired, but it was worth it. I admired my work for a few minutes, fixing a few things here and there. When I truly could not concentrate a moment longer, I turned off the TV and trudged to my shower. I turned the shower all the way up because I hate being cold. I bounced around, freezing, waiting for the water to heat up. When it did, I hopped in and washed my hair with strawberry shampoo twice. Then, I proceeded to put conditioner in my hair.I left the conditioner in as I shaved my legs, and when I was finished, I rinsed the conditioner out. I walked out of the shower and grabbed some PJ’s. I left my hair down in a wet sloppy mess, and  went to bed.

I snuggled around until I was comfortable, hugging the pillow close to my body. I was about to fall asleep when I heard a thump. My eyes shot wide open, and I strained my ears to listen more carefully. I didn’t hear anything for a few seconds, but then the sound came again. Soft noises came from the stairs, and I heard one of the steps creak. I know one of the top steps creaks when someone steps on it. If that person is already on that step,  then they are very close. I slowly moved out of my bed and began to tip-toe towards my door.

When I peeked out, a long shadow stretched from the steps. I covered my mouth to keep from screaming, and I quickly tip-toed to my window. I opened it soundlessly, and  began to crawl out. Before I could even get my legs through, a pair of strong arms snatched my waist and yanked me back. I opened my mouth to scream, but the man put a cloth with a sweet smelling liquid over my mouth. OH HECK NO. I AM NOT going down without a fight. I struggled and squirmed in his arms, but  had no success. He was too strong for me. Why, why couldn’t I be athletic and strong?!

“Breathe, darling,” the man whispered in my ear;his breath tickling my skin.

He gently kissed my ear lobe, and I accidently breathed a little because he surprised me. I tried to stay awake, but  the world around me began to spin. The chemical was quickly taking its effects, but I kept fighting. My head felt dizzy, and I couldn’t think straight. My eyes fluttered shut, and I blanked out.
