It was no later than 5:30am and i was already up. maybe it had to do with the fact that i didn’t sleep that night or that i had too much caffeine the evening before. i had the sudden urge to go and watch the sun rise. not sure why, but i did. i grabbed my jumper, slipped on my boots and made my way to the door, careful not to wake anyone, but someone as clumsy as me would find that difficult. so naturally i accidentally bumped into a chair, or two. but who’s counting?
i opened the door and stepped out. i was immediately hit by the cool morning breeze of autumn. I walked over to the huge fig tree that i loved so much and sat on the grass by it. i felt that amazing feeling of the grass tickling my feet as i took off my boots. i took a deep breath as i took in the peaceful surroundings of my back yard. the fish pond sitting in the middle, the red roses by the fence, my little tomatoes growing in the corner, the olive tree up the back and of course the grass that covered most of my yard.
i lied down and just stared at the dark sky that was slowly turning into a blueish kind of purple. i hugged my jumper around me tighter as the wind picked up and put my boots back on. I climbed the fig tree and sat in my usual spot. From there you can see the sun rising perfectly. By now, it was probably quarter past 6, and the sky was beginning to turn into that beautiful orange colour i adored.
As i stared at the hypnotizing view of the sky, i heard a shuffling kind of noise then loud breathing, panting actually. i turned my head to see where the noise was coming from. There was some guy in a black hoodie. i freaked out, i thought it was some kind of serial killer. I tried to hide myself with the tree, but that didn’t work too well. because clumsy little me had fallen out of the tree (haha that rhymes). Mystery guy’s head looked like it was about to snap off when he twisted his head to look at me. somehow i found this funny and laughed. i mentally slapped myself looking at mystery guy staring at me, for a while...a while longer than normal people stare for. i got up and walked over to him. he was taller than me and from what i could tell he also had brown hair, which was sticking out of his hoodie. i looked up at him trying to see his face and determine who this myst- holy mother! oh my gosh, what the hell?! Mystery guy wasKayden Stone also know as the bad boy of Northern-vale High, along with his ‘gang’ Ashton Romano and Blake Ryder and can i just say, these were some of the most gorgeous guys to ever walk the crust of the earth. although they dont really mingle around with alot of people. the only people they ever hang out with is the popular clique and that isnt very often.
“what are you doing in my backyard?” i asked finally gaining some courage
then out of no where, he grabs my arm and yanks me down to the corner of the fence with him.
“what the fu-”
“shh”
but because i’m very arrogant i don’t
“what are you doing in my back yard?” i say firmer trying to get my message through to him.
“can you not hear me? am i not speaking properly? i said, what are you doing in my back-”
did he just cover my mouth? no. just no. who knows where those hands have been?! ew.
grabbing his hand, i tore it away from my face and gave him a weird look. he just put a finger to his lips signaling he wants me to be quiet. so decided i’d shutup.
we sat there in silence for a couple of minutes. he kept that alert look on his face as he examined where he was. i was just about to start questioning him again when out of no where some freakishly scary sounding animal started pounding, stratching and barking on the other side of the fence. a man started talking into a walkie talkie saying hes found someone then Kayden’s eyes went wide and he grabbed my arm as he made a run for the back of my yard. he jumped onto my tree and jumped over the fence. i stood there puzzled for a moment until his head popped over.
“you coming or not?”
“why would i want to jump into my neighbors yard?”
“because, that dog will tear you to shreads”
as he said this he lifted the sleeve of his jumper revealing a gash the size of an elephant. well it seemed that way to me. not even hesitating i climbed up my tree and jumped over. the dog sounded closer, how he had gotten over my fence i will never know. but it was starting to scare me. Kayden took my arm and led me to the opposite fence, that led to my neighbors, neighbors yard. he got over easily, like he did this kind of stuff everyday. me on the other hand, you can count on clumsy Cara to mess it all up. as i was climbing the fence i had managed to get my top stuck on a loose nail. good one -.- and then the dog came, yes the dog who gave kayden the scratch the size of an elephant. and he came after me charging at me like i was a doggy bone about to be breakfast. the dog leaped and missed my foot by an inch. he jumped at me again but this time i wasnt so lucky. he had left a massive cut on my left calf. i winced at the sight of all the blood pouring down my leg. i was thinking of letting go of the fence. this was the way i was going to die. i was gonna die by a crazy human eating dog that left scratches the size of elephants. but then, thank the heavens, kayden grabbed my arm (for the millionth time that morning) and pulled me over. i could hear the fabric of my top rip as he did so. i collapsed to the ground and looked at my calf. it was worse than i thought. it was like half a meter and there was alot more blood pouring out. did i mention that i faint when seeing this much blood? no? well you can take a guess of what happened next.
