The End of the Road

At Home

After school, I sometimes spend time with Allison and Harry. I'm not very social, so most times I back out when they want to "hang out" with me. But they always find a way to break and enter into my house. Very classy.

Today, we actually had homework to do, so when we were walking home, we split off in three different directions. I'm all alone now. 

Maybe I should listen to some music, just to waste time. 

I pulled out my earbuds and plugged them into my phone. I went to my Spotify and shuffled a playlist. Hazy Shade of Winter came on. (Umbrella Academy version, I hate the original)

I looked up.

Geez, it's getting cold. It's gonna rain.

I felt a tiny drop fall on my nose. I put my hood up and kept walking down the street. It was recently paved, so it looked so new and not full of footprints. Can't say the same about the outside of my house. It has teal vinyl and hot pink shutters. The rain really brings out the hot pink. Looks like something you'd see in The Fairly Odd Parents. I could still see the scruff marks from when Alli tried to climb through my window. I turned off the music and went inside. My shoes and clothes were soaked, but I just went upstairs and straight to the shower.

I came back downstairs in my clean pj's to get a bag of Cheetos and soda. (Nothing too fancy about the pj's. Just a maroon shirt that says "Bazinga" and some pants that look like black flannel.)  Then, back up the stairs, to my room, to the desk in the farthest corner. 

My parents and brother aren't home yet. 

The house is eerily quiet.

Ugh. Focus. You need to start your geometry

Oh right. Geometry.

I pulled out a packet and a corresponding geometry book. I stared at them both for a few seconds.

I heard the floorboard creak.

No, it's just you. You're going insane, no big deal.

Screw it. I'm gonna text Allison
