"Hello, Hannah."
Hannah jumped and her hazel eyes darted around her front porch. That voice. It sounded so familiar, yet so...different.
"Kevin?" She breathed, holding on to one of the tall columns on the porch. "Kevin, is that you?"
"Yes. It's just me."
"Where are you?"
"I'm right here." Suddenly, he was right in front of Hannah, leaning casually against the other column. He grinned at her, and that was when she noticed it.
Kevin had white rings around the pupils of his blue eyes. He hadn't had them before. She would have noticed.
"K-Kevin...where have you been? Mom's been looking for you! Why weren't you at school?"
"You got the feeling, didn't you?" Kevin said in a monotone voice that made Hannah shiver.
She crossed her arms uncomfortably. "Are you hurt?"
Kevin stared into Hannah's eyes. "You haven't been invaded yet..." He whispered so quietly that Hannah only saw her brother's lips move slightly. "What?" She asked, confused. Kevin shook his head and cleared his throat. "Uh, nothing. No, I'm not hurt. Just, uh...just tired. Well, 'night, Hannah Banana." He gave Hannah a noogie and then walked casually into the house.
Something isn't right. His eyes...they're just...not supposed to look like that. I know it.
Hannah's phone vibrated in her back pocket, and she took it out.
Mom: Has Kevin come home yet??
Oh, right. Hannah had forgotten all about her poor mom who was out in the cold, desperately searching for her son.
Hannah: yeah, he just came a few minutes ago. don't worry, he's fine
Mom: He's not going to be when I get over there!!!! Be home in 10 mins.
Hannah: k
"Han, get in here! It's freezing out there!"
"Cooooooming!" Hannah shouted back, and stepped inside. The warmth of the house engulfed her, sending chills down her spine. She knew she had to ask Kevin about his eyes sometime. Mom was going to notice and freak out all over again. It was just unnatural, the white ring that hadn't been there before. Maybe he's trying out a new brand of contacts, Hannah thought. Maybe.
