I run to Jess "AH!" She screams. "Well I shot someone." I say. "What?!?" She said. "W-with a real gun?" She says shaky. "No just a taser gun." I mumble. There would be a red mark where I was hit. "Whats that mark?" She ask. "He hit me, he looked like a senior." I say. We started heading home together, she looked concerned. "Whats wrong?" I ask. "Huh, oh nothing." She reply's. We start to head through the door and we sneak upstairs without Tarry noticing us, I head to my room, I would get a phone call. "Hello?" I ask. "So you want to mess with me? You should've just moved. I challenge you to a little game." He says. "Who is this?" I ask. "W-what?" He says. "The kid you shot..." He says startled. "Oh that kid." I say. "Meet me at the abandoned, Factory, at Twelve PM on Friday, were going to play some boxing." He says. "Oh fun!" I say sarcastically . "What if I don't come?" I wonder. "I will hurt you and your little friend." He laughs. "Ok I''ll play your little game."

I head into Jess's room. "Hey Jess." I say. "Hey." Jess says. "So the kid called me and wants to challenge me to a boxing battle." I state. "Whats the kids name?" She asks. "I don't know." I reply. I head to my room, I read the time "Ten PM." I mumble. Jess's mother calls for dinner. I go to look into my mirror "Ok good the mark isn't there anymore." I say. I bolt downstairs, Jess, is already eating. I look on my plate and there's macaroni, rice, and popcorn chicken. "Looks good!" I say. "Well it is good hopefully, I'm not the best cook." Tarry says. I laugh, and take a bite "Oh my, this is so good!" I state. "Better than my parents cooking for sure." I laugh. After we finish dinner we head up to our rooms. I went back downstairs to say thank you, when I see a black car in the drive way. "Odd." I say. "Who the hell is that?" I wonder. I got to Jess's room, I knock. "Yes?" She says, she opens the door. "There's a black car out front." I say. I hear a engine start. "Huh." I run to my window. "There leaving." I say. "Oh they could be people who needed to turn around." Jess says. "Yeah maybe." I say watching the car leave. That night I slept with my taser like I always do.

Tuesday is teacher planning. So I walk to the store and I see the black car again. "Why is that thing following me?" He mumbles. I go into the store and buy boxing gloves and a mannequin, I bring it home, I check to see if I have me Taser/Taser gun, which I do, I get on my phone and I see the black car in the glare, "Don't make me get my M9." I say to myself. Of course I would bring my M9 with a few mags for self defense, at least I have my License to shoot guns. I sneak past Tarry again heading up to my room. Jess sees me with the stuff I bought from the store. "Whats that for?" She ask. "Uh, nothing." I reply. I run into my room, set the mannequin up, put my boxing gloves on, and start punching it as hard as I can. I start to sweat, two hours into punching. Jess walks in, I hide the punching gloves, and mannequin in my closet. I cover my head with my towel. "Come in." I say "Jay, I know you're trying to practice," She says, "but maybe you should do something else at the park. Running, planks, and other exercises. But don't stress it out too much." Jess says trying to convince me not to practice too much. I looks down. "But, I need to practice." I say trying to get Jess to go so I can practice. "I'll make a deal with you. Two hours every other day." Jess says. I nod. and Jess goes to wherever she was.

I lay in bed, wondering how I would beat the kid. I look over to my right, where my window is, and see the black car spying on me. I look at them and they leave. "There watching me?" I wonder "How long have they been watching me?" I mumble. I turn my Radio off. I look on my dresser and there's a, Fidget Cube, I start to Fidget with it in my hands for an hour. I wonder who gave this to me. Tarry calls for dinner, I bolt downstairs. I tell Jess and Tarry about the black car spying on me, of course I leave out the boxing details, after we finish Jess stops me before I head to my room. "Hey I checked your wallet the other day. Was that a Gun License? Do you own a gun?" She ask. "Yes and yes, I own a M9, for self defense of course but..." I stop there seeing Jess's door open and I look into her mirror, I see the black car again. I bolt into her room. "There it is!" I scream. Jess comes by and looks at it. "Welp, might want to sleep with your taser tonight." She says. "I always do." I reply. We both go to bed. I see a red laser on my door. I slowly start to get up, its, Victor, I open the window. "What the hell man?" I ask "How did you even get here?" I wonder. "Oh my parents moved here." Victor says. "Well I just wanted to say hi." He says. "Go before you get caught." I say, wondering how he found me.

I'm laying in bed and I hear my phone ring. It sounds like a text. I check my phone and sure enough, its a text, but from Jess. It says to meet her at the park with the black car. Not that thing again. I get up as quick as possible and sneak out. I head to where Jess is and I'm sill half asleep. She smacks me hard on that back and I'm awake before I even know it. I catch a slight glimpse of the switch blade she just half pulled out of her back pocket and still has a grip on. I pull out my taser behind my back. "Why are you stalking us?" I ask. "Oh we just need you gone so we can tear her apart." Says one of the people. "Leave her alone." I say. "Or what, you gonna cry?" The kid said. "Oh I'll make you cry instead." I laughed. Victor appeared out of the bushes, he walks in-front of me, I notice me has a blade hidden behind his back, it looks like he just sharpened it. Another person popped out. "Anthony?" Jess ask. A female climbs down the tree, it was Nikki. They all stood in front of me and Jess, "Stay back Dave." Nikki said. "Or else?" Dave says. Nikki, Jess, and the other guy showed them there knife's, I pulled out my taser. "Or this!" Our little group says together. The people who were stalking us ran into there car and drove away, Nikki threw her Knife at there tire when they were leaving. "I hated that knife anyways." Nikki said. "Come on Jess, lets go back before Tarry wakes up." I say. We bolt to the door of our house. We enter quietly and sneak upstairs into our rooms. I get into my bed and fall asleep.

I dream of beating the stalker, but my I wasn't hurt whatsoever. "Huh." I say in the dream. Dave was unconscious on the floor, I spit on him. And then something comes behind me and knocks me out. I wake up and its morning, I yawn. "Time to head to school." I say half awake. We eat breakfast, like we normally do in the morning, "Guess what day it is?" Tarry says. "I don't know." I say. "Hump day!'' Tarry screams. After breakfast we meet up with the kid from last night. "Hey Anthony." Jess says. "Hey." Anthony says. We arrive at school, the gang not to be seen, I head to class not late. After school I go to the, Track, And I start running for an hour. I take small five minute breaks. I head home, and I eat dinner, and go to bed.
