I went home and it was late, around 6. Somehow I felt like someone was...following me. I didn't have the braveness to look back, but when I did, no one was there. I let out a sigh and continued walking home. Suddenly my mom called.
"Son? Are you almost home yet? Dinner in ready."
"Mom, I'm almost home. Two minutes. I'll be there."
"Quickly, it's getting late. You know the recent events......I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up at school. I had work."
"It's ok mom, nothing's gonna happen."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Then the line went dead. I just stopped at looked around. Including my back. Nothing special, I thought.
I went around the corner of the neighborhood and I arrived at home. Quickly dashed and closed the door behind me.
"Back mom!"
"Great honey! Wash your hands and dinner will be served."
"Ok!"
I walked to the bathroom and washed my hands. Not realizing that it just started to rain outside, I remember that my dad is still working in his office.
"Ok, come to the kitchen."
I trotted into the kitchen, hugged my mom and we ate dinner.
"Mom, wouldn't dad have no dinner?"
"Don't worry, he will have the leftovers."
I drank my cup of water and swallowed. Somehow it tastes weird......
And so our dinner just passed like this.
Somehow......I recall seeing a figure outside the kitchen window......
But I didn't tell mom.
"Stupid." I told myself. It was probably my own imagination......or so I thought.
