It was just an ordinary day at school, dull and boring. I couldn't concentrate at all after the fight I had with my parents that morning. I tried to keep my mind off it by writing a couple of lyrics in my Science notebook. As wrote, I could hear Miko in the back, trying to get my attention. Miko has been one of my best friends ever since she transferred here. She always keeps calling and texting me, wanting to hang out, but most of the time my parents were either at a meeting or wouldn't let me leave the house. I motioned her to stay quiet as the teacher was talking. She gave me a smirk and kept her mouth shut. Then, I could hear Jack, another friend of mine, laugh a bit. Miko introduced me to him a while back. I smiled at him and went back to my lyrics.

I sat on the concrete stairs that led to the front doors of the school, watching the sunset. All of the other students were already either picked up from school or on the bus heading home. It was always nice and quiet after that.

"Hey Tracy!" I heard Jack call. It surprised me a bit, making me jump.

"Hey Jack. What's up?"

"I knew I would find you here, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out. We haven't seen you in a while." He said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Oh um, I'm sorry Jack I can't. My parents are gonna be at a conference all weekend and they need me to stay home." I said, giving him a disappointing, yet slightly embarrassed look.

"Gosh again? Well, don't worry about it, I understand. Can I at least offer you a ride home?" He asked, gesturing to his blue and light pink motorcycle.

"That's ok Jack, I like to walk home. It gives me a chance to listen to my music." I said, as I got up from the stairs.

"If you say so. You're gonna be missing the ride of your life." He said mockingly.

"I'm good Jack. Where did you even find that bike anyway?" I asked

"Uh...you know. A, dealer my mom knows." He said, confusingly. I smiled, waving goodbye as he rode off.
Once I finally made it home, I unlocked the door with the key my parents gave me when I was seven. I turned on the lights, set my backpack down, kicked my convers off, took my black vest off, and walked towards the fridge. I noticed a note from parents saying:

Tracy, we will be gone for about a couple of days. Take the bus to school, be home by 4:00om, and help yourself to whatever's in the fridge.
Mom and Dad

I gave out a big sigh. I sometimes wished my parents would give me more information about their work and where the heck they were going on these trips. But, ever time I would ask they just change the subject. I grabbed a bowl of leftovers and headed towards my room. I watched internet videos and practiced on my guitar for the rest of night until I fell asleep.

I woke up to sound of car engines. Rubbing my eyes, I checked the time. I was 2:30 in the morning, what could possible be going on? I looked outside my window, two parked cars with their headlights on were parked right in front of my house. I waited for a couple of seconds to see if anyone would come out, no luck. I finally decided to get up and see if the needed anything.

Nothing would have prepared me for what happened next...
