"You came," It echoed. The words hauntingly bouncing off of the walls of the gymnasium.
I twirled around at the sudden noise, blindly searching for the source and coming up empty handed in the darkness.
I nodded even though they probably couldn't see it so I opted for an answer;
"I did," I supplied, arms wrapping around my upper body in a futile attempt to stop the many shivers that shook my body as it thought of the many possible outcomes.
I huffed in annoyance at the silence.
"Do you mind telling me who you are?" I asked, eyes once again scanning the dark pit.
What felt like hands brushed against my arms?
"I do," they whispered, seemingly closer to me than I thought as I felt the exhaled air ghost over my left shoulder and where I assumed their head or lips rather, were.
I flinched away from their touch, opting to stay as far away from them as possible, not keen on letting a possible stranger touch me.
I took a step forward, making a point by moving away from them that I did not appreciate their unneeded contact.
I sighed in annoyance and decided to find a way out.
I cautiously stepped forward, my hands lay in front of me as I took baby steps.
"Where are you going?"
My breath hitched. Whether it was at the sudden noise or the fact that my hands met what felt like a wall, I didn't know.
My fingers trembled at the coldness of the gym wall and brought my body closer to it as a form of security.
"I'm l-leaving!" I said, shivering at the sudden drop in temperature.
"Why?" They questioned, their voice hollowly reaching my ears.
I sucked in a breath and opted not to reply. Instead, I ran my hands over the wall, using it as a guide to search for a door-exit.
I felt my eyes widen as a shocking coldness shook my being and nearly cried out in happiness as I recognised what lay beneath my fingertips.
I tumbled through the door, my feet shuffling and twisting to catch my balance.
My feet stilled, hands clumsily splayed out in front of me in case I fell.
I let out a sigh of relief and ran a hand through my straight navy locks as I brought my legs closer together to stand properly.
Click!
I jumped, shoulders tensing at the sound.
"Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you in the changing rooms then?"
I frowned at the newfound information and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
"Just who are you?" I mumbled with a finger to my chin in thought.
I got no reply.
I gasped, back hitting a locker door, the handle digging into my back in the process.
"WHY WON'T YOU NOTICE ME?!" they screeched, arms latching onto my significantly thinner wrists as they slammed them against the locker and held them beside my head.
I visibly flinched and tried to rip my wrists out of their gra-!
Bang!
Their head hit the locker as they lay it in the crook of my shoulder.
I shrunk, trying to mould into the locker as any means of escape.
