2.

I woke up to the sound of my mom yelling from downstairs.

"Wake up Sandra! "

I groaned and rolled over in my bed and stopped thinking I was gonna fall. I still wasn't used to the size, seeing as my old bed was small. I reached for my nightstand and tapped it searching for my phone. After several attempts to find it, I realised it was literally right next to me. I then remembered what had happened last night and how silly I was.

I walked into the toilet, while trying to release my hair from my messy bun. I did my morning routine and then I went downstairs for breakfast.

"Morning all" I said waving and taking a seat

"Hmm" was the response I got

I ate my breakfast while scrolling through my phone.

"Look at you kids. Always on their damn phones" says my mom

"And your always talking on the phone so..." I said back

"No talking back" said my dad not looking back from the tv

"Well were all going to go and look around the neighbourhood" declared my mom

"I can't I still have so much unpacking to do and..." I quickly said

"And...." my mom said waiting

"And I have a headache. We can go some other time"

"It's cause your always on that phone"

I rolled my eyes and just went with it.

"Were still going" my mom said Turning to my brother

"Do we have to?" Whined my brother

"Yes we do and while we're at it we'll say hello to our new neighbours. We better get going" said my mom

They all walked out with my brother putting in his headphones and giving me the peace sign before walking out too. Poor guy.

I finally get some free time. I rush upstairs and put on my comfy robe. I go back downstairs and put on the tv and just go back to using my phone. My whole life was literally memes. I laughed to myself, until my smile was wiped off my a loud bang upstairs.

I froze and sat there with my eyes widened.

I quietly rose from the couch and waited to hear another noise. Creaks came from upstairs as if someone was walking around.

Oh dear lord I'm too young to die.

Do I go and see what it is?
Call the cops!!!
Call your damn parents!!

What if I'm overreacting?? I'll just go check.

Are you dumb! That's exactly what the idiot in the scary movies does and you wanna guess what happens to them? THEY DIE !!

I think I was stood there for a good 10 minutes mentally arguing with myself.

I'm a very logical person. So I'm gonna guess and say that the window was open and it knocked something down.

I slowly climbed the stairs, making no noise. I looked in each room starting with my brothers and my parents.
They were clear.

Now mine.

I walked inside and and say nothing. See I was overreacting. I walked to the window and looked outside to see it was a nice day to go out. Maybe I should've went with them. I'm so antisocial.

I turned to exit my room, until my body jolted back in shock, hitting the wall . Standing in front of me was a man or a boy. I couldn't really tell at the time. I didn't even take time to look at his face. I grabbed my lamp from my night stand and ripped it from its place. I held it in front  of me.

"WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DID YOU GET IN?" I yelled furiously while my body shook

The boy stood there starring at me as if I wasn't talking to him. Then he turned his head to look behind him like he was looking for someone else. He pointed to himself.

"Who me?" He said calmly

"NO MY DOLPHIN. OF COURSE YOU" I yelled back while shaking my lamp in my hand. I was staring to feel the weight and my hand ached

"GET OUT GET OUT NOW "

He raised his hands and his eyes widened.

"You can see me" he said looking at me stunned

"I'm not blind but maybe you're deaf GET OUT"

He walked towards me and I couldn't have him touch me or try anything. I leaped past him and threw the lamp at him. All I heard was the sound of it hitting the ground and I was out of my room.

My phone was in my hand and I was already calling the cops. Out of nowhere, the boy emerged from the wall stopping me in my tracks. How was that even possible?? He knocked my phone out of my hand.

"Wait let me explain" he said but I was already running in the opposite direction.

I ran into my parents room and locked the door behind me. I looked around the room and grabbed a chair and put it under the door handle. Surely that would stop his ass.

I backed against the wall waiting for him to attempt to get in.
Nothing.
Was he gone.

Then I saw something in the wall. A hand. Then a whole body appeared to be coming out of the wall.
The boy.

"I'm Still here"  his deep voice said making my whole body fly

"How did you-" I could finish because my lips was trembling in shock. I backed up against the wall and looked around rapidly to find another item to throw.

"Well if you gave me time to explain" he said "we wouldn't be in this mess"

"What do you want?" I asked again

"Nothing"

"Then how did you get in"

"Get in?" He chuckled "I never left"
