I started walking to school. I take the short cut trough the woods. I'm walking, just listening to nature. I start to hear twigs snap. I look around searching for someone hoping it's just a squirrel. It's running twords me and I start to to run. I turned around and saw a man's face. I got a only a glimpse of him to see that he had honey brown eyes. That made me run even faster. Those eyes looked like my father's. I got out of the woods and stumbled then I fell on my knees and quickly got up and walked backwards looking into the woods waiting for someone to come out. He never did come out. I was panting like crazy while running my fingers trough my hair. I turned around and almost raned smack into my friend. "Hey! What's up?" He said smiling at me with a guilty face as I back up. I frowned at him and said, "dude, don't creep up to me like that! You scared me " he looked at me then at the woods. "It looks like you were already scared before I scared you," he said with such seriousness. I walked past him towards the school. " I.... Think I was being chased," I said glancing at him. He looked at me confused, " what do you mean you were being chased, by who?" He said full of worry . "I don't know... I only got to see a quick glimpse of his eyes." I said. He looked back at the woods and said, "do you happen to recognize them?" He asked. I looked up thinking and said, "actually, yeah they did look familiar."
"Really, who's eyes do you think they were?"
"Well, they looked like my dad's eyes"
He looked down at the ground and sighed. "Min, isn't he.... Dead?" He asked looking guilty and sad. "Well what if he isn't? The cops just "asumed" that he was dead. They never found any evidence rather than a lot of blood on the ground but, it probably wasn't just his... It probably wasn't his at all!" He stopped and turned me to him and looked straight into my eyes, "then why didn't he go back to your house or the police station, huh? Min, it's been 6 years... He hasn't come back yet. You probably just miss him even more so you think you saw him" he told me this and I looked angrily at him. He instantly let go of my shoulders and gave me a fearful look. "Anything could have happened. You don't know anything." The bell ran and I walked off. He grabbed my wrist and said, "wait, Min, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that" I looked at him. His brown eyes were full of sadness, " it's okay, I know you didn't mean it in a bad way."
