It was finally the weekend and Friday classes were easy today. As soon as I got home I collapsed into bed and was about to take a nap when my phone buzzed.
DANTE!¡!¡ The Weirdo: hey do you want to hang out today? I'm kinda bored and I'm new so you can show me around the area
Anna: umm... I was about to take a nap but ok it's 3:30 right now so you can come over @ 4?
DANTE!¡!¡ The Weirdo: actually...
Knock
Knock
Knock
...He came over after I got home didn't he?
I sighed and got out of bed. I went to the front door and opened it to see a shy smile looking back at me.
"Really?" Was all I said.
"Heh, well yeah I mean, I didn't feel like going home and all my new friends are with other people or going to drink or smoke and I don't want to get involved with that."
"So I'm the rebound?" I say in a dramatic way, then roll my eyes. "Let me shower then change into something more comfortable. Come inside I guess and you can watch tv. There are snacks in the fridge if you want." I left before he could say anything and went to shower making extra sure I locked the door.
After a quick, cold shower, I went to get in some skinny jeans and a loose gray shirt. I also found a necklace to go with the outfit. It was light but warm enough to go out in the fall so I didn't take a sweater since it wasn't too chilly today.
I went downstairs and told Dante I was ready as soon as I got my purse. I looked around for a hair tie and remember I had one in the bathroom. I ran quickly back up to get it when I saw my blade. I quickly put it in the drawer and grabbed a black hair tie. I went back by the door to get my black combat styled boots and told Dante I was good to go.
We walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus. At that point my phone buzzed with an unknown number.
Unknown: hey
Anna: hi? Do I know you
Unknown: yes
Anna: care to tell me who this is then?
Unknown: no
Anna: then will you speak in full sentences and not just one worded answer?
Unknown is typing. . .
Unknown: stay away from him
Unknown: he's mine and only mine
Anna: wait who? Who do you want me to stay away from? And why?
Unknown is typing. . .
I never got a message back from them the rest of the day.
I guess that took a toll on me afterwards because I got paranoid that someone was watching me constantly. Dante must have noticed too because he'd occasionally ask "What's wrong?" Or "Is something or someone bothering you?" And he seemed really worried.
We went to numerous places, such as the mall, the local Starbucks, the closest plaza and local restaurants. We stopped by a Burger King to get some food before we went back to my place.
"...And then my friends and I got back in my dads Jeep and my dad drove us all to the lake, even though my mom told us not to go! You can say my dads a rebel of sorts, haha." He finished his story as we got off the bus by my house.
"Hahaha! He seems like a cool guy!" I responded back when we we walking back. I sorta forgot the whole situation from earlier until I got to my front door and was telling Dante about staying for a movie.
Unknown: this is you last warning
Unknown: h e s m i n e
