I shivered and went to wrap my quilt around me, only to discover it wasn't there. I opened my eyes and was startled to discover I wasn't in my house let alone my room. I stood up and realised I was in an alley not far away from where I lived so I started to make way out of the alley. I stumbled and my head felt heavy. I straightened up and made my way home questions running through my head the whole way. Like "Why did I wake up in an alleyway?" and "Did my parents come looking for me?". When I finally reached the door I pulled the handle and stepped through the threshold letting the warmth engulf me.
I called out for my parents and was met with a startled look from my mum. Before she had a chance to speak I mumbled my apology,
"Mum I am SO sorry," I started, "I don't know what happened, I went to sleep in my bed and woke up in an alley!" I finished. She looked at me strangely and I got a weird vibe from her like she was confused. "Do I know you?" she asked. I gaped at her, "Ha ha very funny mum, I get it." I said dryly. But she looked genuinely confused and probably angry.
"Can you please get out of my house now!" She demanded.
I stared at her and stumbled backwards out the door. What was going on? Was this some harsh punishment for staying out? Well if it was that would be unfair seeing as how I didn't purposefully leave the house. But I guess life's not fair.
As I walked with these questions drumming through my head I realised I had reached my friends house. Without really thinking I knocked on the door.
"Is Sam home?" I asked politely as Sam's mum answered the door
"Who?" Oh no not Sam as well,
"Samantha Spicer, Your daughter" I said at the bewildered look on her face. She shook her head and looked at me quizzically. Maybe I was on some stupid daytime television programme. Or maybe not. Then I had a sudden stroke of genius.
"Has a girl been round this morning claiming to be your daughter?" I asked. She looked surprised,
"Yes actually I-" I didn't let her finish.
"Which way did she go?" I asked quickly. Suddenly it seemed very important I find her quickly.
She pointed down the road and before she could say anything I ran. I wasn't a very good or a very fast runner and before too long my lungs were burning.
"SAM!!!" I yelled as loud as my lungs would allow, granted that wasn't particularly loud at this moment in time. Then I saw her! I ran forwards a bit and noticed she wasn't alone. She was with 6 people and she had a huge grin plastered on her face.
