Chapter 4: Things Could Change

Chapter 4..... Things Could Change

I decided to walk to school and everything around me just seemed calm, the street was quiet and no one was out. Though I felt someone watching me again but now I felt two presents with me not just one anymore. One felt like it was very close me and the other was farther away, like one was across the street while the other one was behind me, I looked back but no one was there. This didn't bother me at all, I just continued walking, I knew it was nothing abnormal. I felt this feeling more often than I would like admit to. I got used to it after a while

As I was walking, people started coming out of their houses and started to walk the streets or get in their cars. I wasn't alone anymore. I seen the school come into view and I pulled out my phone to check the time. I pulled my bag to my side so I could reach the small front pocket. I was early, way too early for anyone else to be there. Maybe I'll walk around for a bit. I paused to think

I shrugged and placed my phone back in my bag pocket. I zipped it up then I continued walking to the school. Once I reached the front doors I looked at them, debating to open them or not. I stood there, oh whatever I'll go in. So I opened the doors. No one was there, just me, I was hesitant at first but I stepped in. I walked into the school, there was not a sound. The only thing I could hear was the echoing of my foot steps. I slowly walked the halls and made my way to my first class. Once I reached my class I sat down and placed my bag beside me. I unzipped the small pocket and grabbed my phone. I checked my phone again and I seen I had a text message. It was from my foster mom

•Hope you have everything for school•

•Yes•

I sent her back that text and I looked at the time it is 7:45 and still no one was here. I sighed I placed my phone back in my bag and zipped up the pocket. I looked down at the floor and closed my eyes and I took a deep breath. Then I opened them again then two feet popped up right there. I slowly looked up, then back down when I realized it was the boy I ran into twice yesterday, twice. Why was he here?

"Go away." I said

I didn't even look up at him when I talked. He didn't say a word but he just sat down beside me, not listening to my command. He was close to me, when I mean close I mean our knees are touching because we sat cross legged. I looked over at him

"Why are you here?" I asked

"Came to see you."

"You are really confusing, you talked to me yesterday, then I run into you again and you don't talk to me at all. Why?"

He didn't say anything, he just sat there. I turned my head slightly to see if he was looking at me, he wasn't. He didn't bother to look at me. I shoved him a little. He finally looked over at me, I moved closer to him because I was going to whisper, not for any other reason

"How do you know my name?" I asked

He looked at me and shook his head then looked away again. He sighed and just sat there. Now I was getting upset. He won't talk to me or answer my questions, seriously that's rude. I gave him a few seconds and still nothing. I got angry and I felt myself starting to lose control. I took one hand and I grabbed him and pulled him so close to me our faces were inches apart, that was the only way to get him to look at me, eye to eye

"How do you know me, why is it you only talk to me alone?"

He looked at me with a smiled. What the hell?

"You shouldn't do that." He said

I let go of him. I was so confused now, he just told me to not do that. Maybe because I would look bad. Then I realized that my anger was rising, I cooled myself down. He looked at my locket and looked back up to my eyes
