The Chosen One

Chapter 2

All I can hear is my alarm going off on my phone echoing off the empty walls of my apartment. I pull the blanket covering my warm body exposing my bare skin to the cold air around me making the hairs on my are stand up giving me the chills.

I walk over into the bathroom to get ready for another day at work. I pull my boxers off and hop into the shower from the long day yesterday. After washing my hair I sit in there letting the water hit my face getting caught up in my thoughts. The water started to get cold so I turn the water off and grab my towel to dry off.

Standing in the mirror I stare at myself.

What will my future be like? Will I ever have a house that I can call my own? Who knows, maybe I'll become a millionaire one day!

I snap out of my thoughts and finish getting ready. I spiked my dark brown hair, threw on my black T-shirt, and some jeans.

Walking out of the bathroom, I hear a lock coming from the front door. I look in the eye whole to see who it was.

"Hello?" The stranger said right before I open the door.

"Hello." I open the door and reply leaning against the door frame looking at the lady standing in front of me.

"My name is Tyler, I'm your next door neighbor. I just wanted to come say hi and introduce myself. I think you'll like it around here." The girl says looking really nervous.

"Well it's nice to meet you Tyler. My name is Griffin, I'm glad to be here." I give her a smirk

"W-well I have to get going I hope to see you around?" Tyler blushes looking away.

"See you around." I look at her to take in what she looks like. Blonde straight hair, small in height so about 5'3, she looks to be 17 or 18, and she has a preppie style.

I throw on my shoes and head out of my apartment to head to work. Thankfully it's only a 15 minute walk from here or I'd  have to leave really early to get there on time.

Walking down the street a group of people start walking towards me. There were three guys and two girls.

"Hey!! You!!" The blonde guy yelled out.

I avoid eye contact and pick up my pace.
"I'm talking to you! That means look at me in the face not at my feet! Your not gonna get away from me so you might as well stop now!" The blonde guy threatens while he matches my pace.

I look up and froze in my tracks not saying a word with my mouth dropped wide open.

"What are you so afraid of huh Griffin?" One of the girls says from behind the other two men.

"I-I..." I hesitate not able to speak. How did he find me? Has he been tracking me down? What do I do?

"Speak boy your father didn't raise no baby!" My father spits at my feet. He pushes the blonde mop of hair out of his face.

"W-what do y-you want?" I start shaking in fear. My knees are starting to get weak making me lose balance.

"He's still the same after all these years." My old neighbor says examining me up and down.
