In the middle of the forest is a clear spot with trees around it hiding the view of the road.
I leaned against the rock with my bag beside me. Taking pictures of the surrounding trees in a photogenic manner i edited them and saved them. As I Stared at the brown, red, and orange colors around me i smiled. I decided to use my images for my art project that is due tomorrow.
I stopped thinking when i realized Weston was calling me.
I answered.
"hello"
"hey sparkles guess what!?" he said with an excited tone
"What? "
"we are going to a halloween party this friday!" He told me and i felt my stomach drop and instantly i became sick. I hate parties!
"A party?" why? Why is he about to do this to me!?
"yes a party and it starts at 8 so i will be over on friday at exactly 7 so we have an hour to get your cute self sparkled up and sexy"
"Weston!? What do you mean?  Do i have to go? Where is it even at? " i complained like a child to him my anxiety was rising high and fast. He shushed me and told me to and i quote "suck it up buttercup we need to find that secret lover" as soon as he said this my heart began to pound against my chest. My anxiety was crazy right now. We hung up and said goodnight. He told me to come over around 7 so we could get to school. I am not ready for school tomorrow or at all this week. Since i have school tomorrow i decided i should go home and not sleep in the forest tonight. I gathered my things and started on my walk home. I slowed and stopped when I heard a branch break behind me. Realization hit me like a truck. Run
I though as i began running faster and faster as i heard running steps behind me and more breaking branches.
Run
Run
Run
I ran as fast as i could until i reached my house and saw there was no one behind me i cautiously climbed through my window and plopped onto my bed. Hoping my brothers hadnt heard me i tried to ease my thoughts and fears with a nice shower. I grabbed some clothes and hopped into the shower.
I know someone was following me
Who?
When i got out the shower i felt more relaxed and i curled up into my bed drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
