Summer POV
When I pulled up to the house I looked around again before getting out. The beautiful trees and forest around my house that I used to think was pleasant are now horrifying. The woods are in my backyard and someone could easily hide in them and look up into my room. Probably watching me sleep. And you might think I'm over reacting but I have a strong feeling I'm being watched. I left the bags in the car, grabbed my purse and got the key ready. I hurriedly got out the car and ran up the steps unlocking the door and closing it behind me. I locked the door and let some air into my lungs, unaware I'd been holding my breath. I heard my mom and dad in the kitchen laughing.
"Summer ?" I heard my mom ask
"Yes ?" I asked masking my fear with a light happiness to my voice
"Is everything alright ?" she asked
"Yeah! I'm about to go to bed !" I yelled already heading up the stairs
I went to my room and opened the door. I looked at my clock that read 8:21 pm. I then looked out my window and saw that you could clearly see me from a certain spot down in the backyard.
Nope .
I grabbed a small cover and went across the hall to Shawn's room. His TV was on and I heard shooting. He must be playing Call of Duty or something. I knocked on the door.
"Come in !" he said
I walked in and sat on his bed. With the folded blanket in my lap.
"What's wrong ?" He looked back and forth from me and the TV. Then I told him everything about how paranoid I am and about my observation from my room and that I was scared to sleep in there.
"Come here" he said
I crawled on his bed and laid my head on his chest as I watched him play the game. I dozed off after a while.
------------------------------------
-The Sunday before school starts-
"So how many cute boys have you seen ?" Court asked, sprawled out on my bed
" I've barely been out the house" I groaned
And its true. Since that night I just didn't feel up to going out alot unless I was with my parents and/or Shawn. And you can't really check boys out while your with the family. Courtney arrived about 3 days after Christmas and Jewel followed shortly after New Years. These holidays were....not living the life.
"Have you been up to the school ?" Court asked
"Only to sign in " I said
"Do we wear uniform ?"
"Nope" I grinned. I looked at my phone and saw a text from Jewel notifying me that she was here. I told her to come up.
"Hey, have you talked to Jewel ? I barely talked to her since she came. She's been acting weird" I said
"She's fine. Her mom is just making her help unpack." She shrugged
"How long does it take to unpack ? "
" They had alot of stuff. They have 6 people living there. And 2 are little kids" She answered
"I guess that makes sense." I said as Jewel walked in and sat in the computer chair.
"Hey guys" she said
"Hi. We were just talking about the new school" Court told her.
"Do they wear the same type of stuff we wear in L.A ? " she asked.
