I sat there on the grass like a loner with my novel out in-front of me, my mind traveling to the scene in the book, reading was my stress relief, for about an hour a day I could get away from anything that was making me upset by just opening up a book. I lay back onto the grass and closed my eyes lightly, holding the book to my chest. I just wanted to go home and take a bubble bath but I couldn't because Trouble decided to take my car for a 'spin'

I was expecting him to return with my car all beaten up and broken.. If he returned at all. it was 10 minutes past four and I had given up with the hope that I would see my car ever again. As I stood up slowly I saw a car pull up into the car park and to my surprise it was mine, and there wasn't a scratch on it.

I folded my arms as I watched him park the car carefully and step out of the it, he removed his sunglasses from his face to the top of his head and smiled over at me. He signaled me over to him with one finger, As I walked over to him slowly, I was carefully examing the car.

He Lent against the car door with his arms folded, looking me up and down. I held out my hand, signalling him to give me the keys, he began moving them towards my hand but pulled them away at the last minute. 
"Just give me my keys" I spat in a stern voice
"What if i don't want to?" He mumbled
"I'm already an hour late" He just laughed and began throwing the keys in the air and catching them continuously

I folded my arms and shot him a 'I am not amused' face, he chuckled 
"How about I drive you home" He smiled cheekily, opening the car door slowly,I shook my head vigorously 
"There is no way I am getting in that car with you"
"Come on, get in"
"No"
"I need to talk to you about something" I paused. He seemed so serious, there was not a tone of sarcasm in his voice at all. 

"I just w-"
"I promise I will take you home, Just get in" I slowly and nervously slid into the drivers seat as he stuck the keys in the ignition and began to drive off slowly.
"What did you want to talk about..?" I asked curiously
"Is it true you kissed Sam?"

My first thoughts were
'Oh my god how on earth did he find out?'  
"How did you..?" I trailed off trying to think
"The first rule about passing notes in class is to make sure you get rid of the note and not throw them around the classroom.. but of coarse.. you wouldn't know that, Little Miss Innocent" He chuckled slightly.

I instantly face palmed,
"The note.." I  murmured to myself
"So tell me, Did you kiss him?" We came to a red light and the car slowly came to a stop. He turned to face, he had a very blank emotion on and I couldn't tell what he was feeling. 
"Pardon?" I said trying to ease my way out of the question
"Did I stutter?" I cleared my throat trying to stall for as long as possible. \

"Just tell me.. did you kiss him or not"
"Well Yes- I mean No" He rolled his eyes as the light turned green once again and he began driving once more,
"So which one is it? yes.. or no..?"
"I mean He kissed me but I didn't kiss him back, I pushed him away from me.. then to my knowledge, I passed out" a slight smirk formed along his perfect lips. 

"I knew it.." He mumbled to himself, I was extremely.. extremely confused.. We pulled up the driveway of my house and we both stepped out, he threw me my car keys and with my skill I caught them with one hand. 
"wait.." I said "how do you know where I live?" He winked at me before slamming the car door shut and walking away.
'I hate it when he just leaves..' I though to myself as I watched him disappear into the distance.

I slowly walked up to the front door and let myself in,
"Mum..? Dad..?" I yelled as I wandered around the house looking for them.
"are you guys home?" I made my way down to the kitchen where there was a piece of paper on the bench with writing on it. It read:
Hey baby! Your father and I are just heading out of town for 2-3 days so you get the house to yourself, love you baby! -mum

'Great.. I'm home alone for 3  days..' I thought to myself. Any normal teenager would smile brightly and jump  for joy.. but not me. Being alone for 3 days meant I would be bored for 3 days as I had no company. I cursed aloud as I screwed up the piece of paper and tossed it into the trashcan effortlessly before making my way upstairs for my bubble bath that I had been waiting all day for. 

The only upside about having my parents not home is that I can listen to my music a little louder than usual, so that's what I did, I lay in the warm soapy bubble bath with Adele playing as loud as my ears could take it. I could feel myself drifting into a sleep and I knew that If I stayed in the bath any longer I would fall asleep and probably drown so I decided It was time to get out. 

I wrapped a towel around my body and walked into my bedroom, I gasped looking up at the clock
"Was I really in the bath for 2 hours.." I said to myself as I would normal bathe for 30 minutes tops. My towel was soon replaced by a loose tank top and some loose fitting grey swear pants that I always wore to bed. While I was up in my bedroom getting changed and singing to myself I had the feeling that I was being watched.

I knew I was the only one home so I tried to shake it off, But the feeling was still there, even after I had closed all my curtains and shut all my windows. I decided to go downstairs hoping that the feeling would fade, but it didn't, I still felt like someones eyes were on me and no matter what I did I couldn't shake the feeling off. 
"Pull yourself together Destiny" I said to myself as I poured a glass of water and made my way upstairs, turning off all the lights downstairs.

I lay myself on my stomach across the bed and pulled out my novel once again, I inhaled deeply as I turned to the page I was once reading. My mind wandered as I read through the book, line after line, paragraph after paragraph, page after page when I found myself reading aloud. 

I was getting into the book when suddenly my window flew open and a cool breeze came through, making me jump and scream a little.
"Maybe the it unhinged itself.." I thought to myself as I got up slowly and walked over to it, I reached out slowly to shut the window when a hand grabbed hold of my wrist.
