Quiet Girl

Chapter 3

I walked nervously around this guys house. It gave me the chills. I glanced out the window and saw my house only down by the corner. He had lots of antique looking furniture. And only large portraits of him. Seems as if he had no family.
"come sit down, sweetie" he said gesturing over to the couch across from his recliner. I sat down gently. It was obvious I was nervous. I felt my phone in the front pocket of my book bag.
"Who were those girls hurting you" he asked me. I didn't respond. He sipped his coffee and leaned forward. "I know you don't know me but I want to help." It's very quiet, the ticking from the big clock is growing very loudly. I looked at it. Grandma was going to be home in 30 mins. She was going to be angry that I went into a strangers house.
"I'm sorry I have to go." I quickly grabbed my book bag and ran towards the door. "No" the man grabbed my shoulder really tight as I tried to run. He wouldn't let me go.
Then suddenly I remembered the pocket knife I had. I pulled it out and stabbed his hand and ran out the door. I can hear him yelling in pain.
I finally made it home before grandma. I ran upstairs to my room and looked out the window to see if the old man was coming for me. "He must've stayed home." I said to myself.
I turned on the bath water and let it run as I took my clothes off. I looked in the mirror and saw the blood dripping from my nose and lip. I whipped the blood off of my face and sat in the bathtub.
You may ask why haven't i made a voodoo doll of Jessica. I have something bigger plan. I just don't know how to execute it yet.
I heard my grandma come in downstairs. "Kenzie?, why is the neighbor saying they saw you get beat up by a group of girls" my grandma yelled up the stairs as she threw her keys on the dining room table.
      "No, grandma. Nothing happened." I don't know why I didn't tell her. She already threatened to tell the principal if these girls keep harassing me. They'll probably get expelled and ruined my whole plan.
        I climbed out the bath tub dried my body off and put on my fuzzy white robe. And black bunny slippers.
I looked over my shoulders before opening my closet door to see if grandma was coming. No sign of her so I opened the door pulling the string to turn on the light. Revealing my plan. A knife and a single pie of paper where I wrote out the plan to kill Jessica and her girls without getting caught.
                ~the plan~
1. Bring in the knife and hide it deep into my backpack.
2. Stay after school while Jessica and her friends stay for cheer practice. Wait for them in the girls locker room
3. Once their all in the girls locker room. That's when I attack.
    "Kenzie?" I heard my grandma walking towards my room before I could finish editing my plan.
       "Diners ready, sweetheart" i walked out the closet and quickly shut the door. "Okay grandma I'll be down soon" I said nervously. She started to glare at the closet. "You okay Kenzie?" She asked "never better." She walked out my room. She knows I'm lying. She knows.
    After diner I was too tired to edit my plan and decide to push the date back. But no more exceptions, cheerleading season is gonna end soon and it'll throw my plan off.
    As I lay on my bed getting comfortable. I get a text from James. How did he find me on social media?
   "Hey beautiful" I read his text repeatedly in my head. "No reply?" I responded with a simple "hey"
James: yeah I'm sorry about what Alexis and Jessica did to u. They were bragging about it so much it got annoying.
Kenzie: yeah I'm use to it.
James: what do you mean?
    Ignore his text not wanting to talk about it and fell asleep.
    ~the next morning~
   In the morning my grandma dropped me off at school since she didn't have to go to her bingo sessions. I put on my uniform and do my hygiene head out the door.
     Once I reached the school and pass security I see James. Kind of worried if he was ask me the same questions he asked last night. I ran into the girls bathroom until the bell rang. Once I left the bathroom I head to class
     ~last class of the day~
   I all of a sudden remembered I left my pocket knife in my room in the open. Fuck if grandma sees It I'm dead.
     After class I quickly walked to my locker. I had a feeling James was there. And just like I guessed he was.
"Why are you avoiding me?" He asked me in a concerned tone. "why are you interested in me?" I clapped back. "I can't be interested in you?" He chuckled. " can you? I know you only want me for one reason." I slammed my locker and powered walked to the bus. 
     So many thoughts went through my head while on the bus. So many scenarios. I get so caught up I almost miss my stop. I walk slowly home. And passed the creepy old man house and finally arrived to my home.
   Grandma car is still here. I don't understand she should be at bingo.
I slowly walk in the house very nervous.
   "Grandma?" I yelled looking around for her. I walked up to my room and saw my closet door was open and my unconscious grandma on the floor.
  "SHIT I KNEW IT." I ran to her and began crying my eyes out. He had the paper next to her on the floor "grandma come on wake up"I saw her eyes open slowly " why Kenzie? Why are you so angry, child?" She must've have a heart attack from my brutal plan.she was such a religious woman. I noticed she wouldn't wake up again. I sat there in silence. As anger and range build up, I looked at the closet and crumbled up the paper grabbed the knife and ran back to school.
