The Stalker

Chapter 10

The next day was awkward. Drew came in to wake us up, and then we did our normal morning routine. When we got to the kitchen for breakfast, Drew had only two plates laid out. One in his spot, and one in Casey's.

"Where is my plate?" I asked.

"Didn't Casey tell you? When you are on punishment you don't get meals. You only get one granola bar a day for three days," He answered.

"Why would you starve us? I thought you loved us!?" I said, hoping he would feed me.

He grew sudden anger," YOU are starving yourself. YOU chose to run away. YOU chose to get punished!"

Drew told me to go to my room. I obeyed him because I was scared. When Casey came back she brought my granola bar to. I didn't eat it because I knew I would be starving to death later.

"You should start being nicer and start apologizing to Drew. If you don't, you'll make things worse for the both of us." Casey told me in a whisper.

"Well... I will for you. I don't want you to get hurt. I'll be nicer and apologize for you." I answered.

"Thank you." Casey said.

Later that day I ate my granola bar. I was starving. I was on room arrest. I couldn't leave it. Casey went to lunch and work in the garden again, but I stayed in. I guess Drew doesn't have any trust left for me. Oh well. It's not like I needed nor wanted him to trust me.

When dinner came around, I was dying of thirst and starving. All Drew gave me was one cup of water and one granola bar for the whole day. The water got hot this morning and I don't like room temperature water. I had an idea but I didn't want to get Casey in trouble.

"Hey Casey.... How hard would it be to sneak me some food back in here?" I wasn't going to ask, but I had to.

"Super hard... But I will try for you. I will try to get some when he isn't looking.." She said, but I could hear the doubt.

When she came back from dinner she had me a piece of bread. It wasn't a lot, but it was good enough. I was starved and wanted to saver it, but I didn't want Drew to catch me with it. It was delicious! I never loved bread so much.

The next day was just the same. Stuck in my room. One cup of water, and one granola bar. I pretty much slept all day. And when dinner came around, Casey brought me food back.

The following day was just the same, except when Casey brought my food back... We got busted.
