After getting ready I still had 30 minutes until my cousins arrived to take me to a nearby mall. I wore nothing too flashy but also nothing too "I just woke up and decided to come here looking like a gorilla" type of look. Just some light blue ripped jeans and a plain white t-shirt. I had my hair in it's natural waves and slid on my white slip on vans.

I decided to sit on the front porch and wait for them since my grandfather had already gone into his room to take a nap. I looked around me and the front yard looked so beautiful.

There were trees that held different fruit, and leaves that I thought couldn't grow any bigger but in this country, there is no limit to nature. I watched people walk passed the front gate of the house and wondered where they were going or where they were heading from. I was pulled away from my thoughts as I heard the loud shriek the gate had released when my cousins walked through. If there is EVER an intruder I would most definitely blame it on the gate. I approached them halfway and we exchanged words on how everything was going to go down.

"First we are going to go to the mall and show you how to get there whenever you want to go, then we are going to show you how to get to downtown so you could go to school. We would show you the areas so you know how to get from place to place. "
Lauri explained.

"Yeah and pay attention to our words and how public transportation works because we can't go with you every time you want to go somewhere" Laura said with a smile.

My cousins were twins and they both mean well. And I really just wanted to get this day over with so I could fall back asleep because the jet lag was hitting me like a semi truck. I guess that's what happens when you fly half way across the world on a 24 hour flight.

••••••••••••••

I almost fell to the floor when I walked through my front door. We were walking around so much and I couldn't believe none of these malls hardly had any fucking chairs. I grunted just at the memory of dragging myself across the mall when my legs started to get numb. Yeah, THAT'S HOW BAD IT WAS. After my 15 seconds of complaining I practically army crawled my way to my bedroom, dragging my bags with me.

I didn't actually buy much when I went to the mall, just some more hygiene stuff and a couple of extra supplies for school. I knew school here in a different country would be a drastic change from the education system in America but, a change is good right?

As soon as I got to my bedroom I sprung onto my feet at the thought of sleeping with jeans on because just the thought of the tight fabric against my skin while sleeping uncomfortably made me cringe.

I slipped my jeans off in one swift motion and pulled out some black pj shorts. I unclasped my white lace bra and took it off leaving my white T-shirt on. I jumped on to my bed and thoughts of tomorrow started flooding my mind of how I should approach people. After all I do need to make an impression for my first day of school.

Kind? Friendly? Annoyed? Intimidating? Decisions, decisions. I mean I don't want to give these people the wrong idea but I also don't fuck with that many people. I am trouble but I also have a heart.

I figured I would just shrug it off and start thinking of that when I start feeling the vibe they give me. I start thinking of my old home and think of how many times I could've changed. Of how many times I was warned something bad would happen if I don't get my shit together. And with that last thought I drifted off into a deep slumber.

•••••••••••••••••

*tick, tick, tick*

And suddenly my mind was awake. I wanted to wake up completely but my eyes were closed shut. I didn't want to see the light of the sun peek through my window just yet so I turned and hid under my covers. I thought I was just imagining things and started falling back asleep but I heard it again.

*tick, tick, tick*

My eyes shot wide open at the realization that I sure as hell was not fucking dreaming of ticks on my window getting louder every time the pattern started again and again and most likely going again but I wasn't sure and oh my gosh what's going on and-

'OH MY FUDGE NUGGETS JUST BREATHE'

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. How could one actually mentally panicked about something in their head?

I told myself to focus and started focussing on hearing the ticking again. I stayed awake for at least five minutes before I wanted to go back to sleep. I realized that there was no sun, there was no light, it was dark and the only access to light that I had was from the moon.

I watched the wall opposite of me because it seemed like it was darker than usual. Just as I was about to move to sit up a little, I watched a shadow walk away. I froze in my spot and didn't move until I heard the back gate open and close. Then also the front gate, though it was very faint, I'm surprised I even heard it. I heard the starting of a motorcycle in the distance, and I just stayed there until it was gone.

It seemed like they noticed I was awake because the ticking had stopped after my senses kicked in. I felt like they were just trying to get a good scare out of me, well mission-fucking-accomplished you almost made me shit bricks.

My bed was under the window so I couldn't see who it was, even if I wanted to I think I'd be signing myself up for a death wish.

And hell it isn't even my birthday yet.
