I decided to call Darren. Dad had gone to work and I had finished all my homeowork so I had nothing to do.

He picked up after a few rings. It felt good to hear his voice on the other side. We talked for a bit, but then the doorbell rang. I told him that I needed to go and we agreed to meet at the bridge near school and walk together. Sucha sweet boy.

I stomped down the stairs wondering who it could be, and kinda mad that they had the nerve to disturb my conversation with him. I opened the door and saw a boy standing outside. I didn't recognize him, but he stood there smiling. I was freaked and about to close the door when he spoke.

"Hi Ginder." This freaked me out even more. How did he know my name? He was a skinny boy, a bit shorter than me and he looked pretty young.

"Ermm....who are you?" I aked him, unsure whether I should let him in or not.

"My name's Prasath."

I still didn't recognise him, but then I realised, this was the guy who hated Darren! How had he found my house? How did he know who I was or where I lived?

"So are you gonna let me in or what?" he asked.

I didn't know what to do. I decided to let him in because sometimes my brain functions weirdly. Like now.

"So what school do you go to?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

"I thought your friend Darren would've told you."

"What do you know about Darren?" I decided to text him.

Me: DARRENNNN

Darren: Helloo, wht's up? xx

Me: Prasath came 2 my house!

Darren: WHATTT?!

Me: Idk what to do :/

Darren: OMG what's ur address, I'll b rite thr

Me: Kk, thnx so much, just turn left by the bidge. xx

"Oh nothing much, just that he's a dick and that you guys are friends. You should stay away from him you know. He's dangerous."

I didn't know what to say. I didn't see anything dangerous about Darren. This guy seemed more dangerous, to be honest, stalking me to my house and then acting like he knew me.

I got another text telling me that Darren was here and was just looking for the door number.

It was getting really awkward between me and Prasath but I couldn't tell him to go.  I decided to wait for Darren and to try and seem busy with my phone.

Minutes later, the doorbell rang and I rushed to greet the guy at the door.
