Every street you walk on is filled with the talk of the Mayor's Speech. Most people were wondering if their town is in danger once again. Can this "monster" Be giving a signal of their return?

"I'm just relieved the curfew has been lifted." Z twirls his fork around the noodles in his plate. Like we agreed on,  we decided to eat Chinese Takeout after the speech.

"Some part of me feels the same,  the other part feels different." Amy mumbles,  chewing down her orange chicken.

"Do you think they'll give out information on who's bones they-or I found?" I wonder

"Who knows." Amy shrugs,  "Screw it anyways." She gets up from the sidewalk bench we were sitting on,  "I'm done eating, should we head home already?" Amy suggests

Z and I exchange looks,  we agree afterwards and all head back home. This time I decided to take the long route because I was not walking down that cursed road again.

It was already dark and I was carrying my plate with me since I didn't finish. There were several people around me,  walking on the streets or out front in their yards. It was just another neighborhood. Once I get to my street I notice Justin from afar. He was coming out of his house. I lightly run to the other side of the street. "Hi Justin." I greet approaching the front of the house

"Oh hello Ariana."

"I just came by to say hello."

"Thoughtful of you. I have to get going though." He steps down his porch.

"Where you headed off to?" I was just trying to make conversation with him, he's hot as fuck and lives next to me so why not?

"Mm- business related things. Not very important." He answers.

"If it's not so important then why are you in a rush?" I lean on the black painted wood fence as he approaches me.

"I guess you're right. But its kind of important."

"You just sai-" I stopped, letting it go. Maybe I was being a bit annoying so I just shake my head,  "I guess I'll leave you to it. Goodnight." I turn around but a hand gets hold of my arm.

"Do you want to come inside?" Justin's eyes are on mine and I bite my lip.

"Are your parents home?" I ask.

He snickers and covers his mouth,  "You're joking." He stares at me and I don't get what's going on. "Ariana,  do I look young?"

"You're kidding." I begin to realize what's going on and I cover my face in embarrassment.

"Wait- how did you think I was perhaps your age when I told you I worked."

"To be honest,  I'm stupid sometimes." I smile,  "So,  how old are you?"

"I'm twenty one. You're seventeen?" He assumes and I nod. "Then would it still be strange me asking you to come inside?"

"I don't think so." I smirk and we walk up the steps again as he unlocks the door. His house was big on the outside,  and looked even bigger inside. "Woah." I look around,  "I like your house"
