Ayla's P.O.V
I woke up to my the creeks of the stair case as someone slowly walked towards my room. " Wake up Ayla, your gonna be late for practice. " Every Thursday I have dance practice. I really like dance and I'll admit that.
I got up and walked to my closet. I grabbed a pair of light blue jeans, a black sweatshirt, and some convers. Personally, I think of my self as a mixture of a tom-boy and a girl. But not a girly-girl.
I walked down stairs which made the boards that made up the wooden floor creek once again. I felt around in the pockets of my sweatshirt to make sure I had my phone. I was satisfied when I felt the case sitting around my phone.
I walked over to the basement door. Before I could open it my mom stopped me. " Hi honey! " She said with a warm smile. " Hi mom." I said smiling back at her tired looking face. I walked down the steps to the lightly lit washer and dryer. I opened the dryer to grab my gym cloths from the day before.
I jogged up the steps and closed the door quickly. " What's wrong Ayla? " Says my mom lowering her hot cup of coffee. " Oh nothing mom. " I said walking over to my bag sitting on the couch. " You know how I am. "
I have a very strong liking for horror movies. I freak myself out a lot. I make myself beilive there is a presents or something like that. I stuffed the gym cloths into my bag, and set my bag by my skateboard which is by the door.
I checked the time. 7:38am. I grabbed a granola bar and my water bottle from the fridge. " Bye mom. " I said picking up my bag and skateboard and I was out the door.
[ After practice ]
I jumped off my skateboard as I approached the front door. I was digging in my bag for my keys when I heard what sounded like a plate breaking next door. I looked towards the old and kinda creepy house. I looked back to my front door. It was slightly...opened. Brushing it off and thinking nothing of it I walked inside. "Mo..." I trailed off of my words when I realized my mom wasn't home. I walked down stairs when I heard a knock on the door. " Who is it!? " I asked putting my hand on the knob. " Ayla! It's your mom! " Confused I quickly opened the door. I looked around and saw my mom's car pull up into the drive way. " Mom!!! " I yelled.
" Didn't you just knock on the door? " I said still confused and opening her door. " No honey...why, what happened. " She asked worried. Not wanting to freak her out I made something up. " Oh yeah! It was the wind! " Oh my god the oldest thing to say EVER! " Well looks like I gotta go!..." I say running inside grabbing my things. Practice is at 7:50am and goes until 8:05am. I gotta be at school at 8:30am.
