What's out there?

Chapter 1-let me explain (part 1)

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it"~ Paulo Coelho

Alright so here I am, sticking to this total stranger's back for dear life. Screaming. Entering some kind of time lapse or teleporting thing, I have no idea don't look at me! I'm just a simple teenager. Who is supposed to be studying but as you can see, That is not happening thanks to this douchebag.

So I'm guessing what is going on and who am I. I should probably fill you guys in...

"Hey!" I squeaked as someone knocked my books out of my hands having my papers scatter all over the floor in the hall. The kid turned back to take a glance at me and just continued on with his life. Letting out a sigh as bent down picking up all my papers and books.

I'm Cassandra Smith and I'm currently 19 years old, in college, hooray me. Studying in business hoping some way I'll figure out what I want to do in for my future, but till then I'll be in college doing nothing else with my life instead of being a lazy bum that eats honey buns and binge watches everything.

I mean what else can i do? Get a job? Pssh jobs are for weebs.

I adjusted my glasses and stood up looking around seeing everyone has already went in their classrooms. Puffing out my freckled cheeks as i walked down the hall towards my dorm feeling as though I was being watched. Brushing it off I took out my student ID swiped it over the scanner, waiting for the beep.

As it went off i slipped in my room closing and locking the door, dropping my books on the desk and walked over to the bed. " hey babe you missed me?" I said flopping gracefully on top of my bed. Not expecting an answer from my bed I sighed and wrapped myself in the warm toasty blankets. Supposed to be studying right now but I'm the type of person to just put it off till last minute scream at myself for putting it off, cry and think how i would of made it off better living in my grandma's basement working at McDonalds.

I work well under pressure.

Buzz...buzz

Lifting my head up slowly groaning I reach over for my phone and pick it up answering the call.

"Hey grandma" I croaked out. My grandma is the strongest person in the world. She raised my mother and me always keeping a smile on her face. Even through the toughest times like my mother's death she always saw the bright side of things. She took me under her wing after her death becoming my guardian since my father became torn up with her death he killed himself within two months.

Tears flooded my face at my father's funeral. Losing both my mom and dad hurt a lot, so much emotions at once is a painful thing. I felt a touch on my shoulder making my tears stop, the sense of comfort filled me. Looking up to see my grandma, she too had tears in her eyes. She opened her mouth "Cassy 'although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.' take this quote and let it sink in. Please see that they are in a better place may you not cry, may you see what your mother and father would had wanted you to do."

"Hey Cassy when is your next break again?"
I chuckled " grandma I already answered this question yesterday"
"I'm sorry sweetie but grandma's memory isn't as great as it used to be."
"Don't apologize." I shuffled out of my bed to my calendar scanning through the page. "Uh...november 19th."
"Thanks cas. So I'm goi..-" my grandma spoke but I became distant hearing her become so quiet. I felt the feeling again. Like someone is watching me. I looked around with my eyes becoming locked to the window. I walked towards it looking outside seeing no one out there. Glancing around outside i locked my window and pulled down the blinds shutting out the beams of sunlight.

"Cassandra?!" hearing my grandma somewhat yell into the phone.
"Yeah sorry, I'm here I'm here"
"You okay sweetie?"
"Ye..yeah just tired i guess. What were you saying?"
"Never mind about that, i'll talk to you later."
"Bu-"
"No buts cas, go get some sleep. I'll call you later alright?"
"Alright"
"Night Cassy"
"Night" and with that my grandma hung up.

Still standing at my window I place my phone down at the ledge. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw a person standing there. Starring. Being creepy y'know. Making me jump up eyes bolting toward the corner where that person was standing, to see nothing.

"Wow Cas going insane on me huh? Time for bed for you." I said to myself. No i swear I'm not insane i just talk to my bed and myself like normal people do. Heh heh..sigh. Now back on my bed wrapping me up like a baby. I'm mature... closing my eyes i slowly drifted off the sleep.

Not realising the mystery person was standing next to my bed smiling.
