Hey there guys. Its my first time writing a story on here, so please review. I take all kinds of criticism. It only makes my writing better. Anyway, enjoy!
"Please, don't hurt me!" I yelled to the shadowy figure. The figure approached me slowly, gradually getting faster with each step. I watched in horror as they took out a knife, running it against their pointer finger, obviously enjoying me shaking in fear. "I swear, if you come anyway c-closer, I-I will punch you". "Haha", the person snickered. Who am I kidding? Of course they wouldn't take me seriously. I can't even say a full sentence without stuttering. They lifted up the knife and said, "Goodnight princess!" I closed my eyes, expecting to feel a sharp object in my abdomen and blood oozing onto my soft skin. Instead I heard a beeping noise. "Beep beep!" "What the…"
"Clare, honey, wake up! You'll be late for school!" my mother shouted from downstairs. "Coming Mom", I replied back. Ah, school. 7 hours of torture, 5 days a week. A least I have Alli, Adam, and Eli. "Eli", I whispered to myself. My boyfriend of 4 months. The first time we went out was kinda bumpy, but we're back together and stronger than ever. I reached into my closet and put on a pink tank top, dark wash bootleg jeans, a grey pair of flats, and a grey cardigan. I went into the bathroom and washed my face, brushed my teeth, and curled my hair. To complete my ensemble, I put on a heather grey skinny headband. I walked downstairs, grabbed a piece of strawberry toast and my book bag, and headed out the door. Since I live down the street from my school, Degrassi, I walk to school and back. I was greeted at the front door of the school by Eli. "Hey there, cutie", I exclaimed. "What, no hey there sexy!", Eli said sarcastically. He draped his left arm around my waist and gave me a peck on the lips. I rewarded him back with a peck on the cheek. He walked me to my locker. I opened my locker and a pink envelope slipped out. "What's that?" Eli asked. "I dunno", I said. Curiosity took over me, and I opened the envelope. Inside was a riddle. It said: "Roses are red, violets are blue, and you better get to Adam before I get to you". "Oh no", I said. Do you think Adam really is in trouble? "Probably not. Someone's trying to spook you", Eli said. "Yeah, you're-". I was interrupted by a frantic Drew Torres. "Guys I've been looking everywhere for you" "Why what happened?" Eli and I asked in unison. "Adam's been hurt. My mom dropped us off early because I had football practice. He was sitting down in the bleachers. Next thing I know, I saw him fall from the very top. I ran over to him and asked him what happened. He said someone pushed him down, but he doesn't know who. It couldn't have been any of the football guys because they were on the field with me." "Drew, how is he?" I asked. "His leg is broken, and he is in a lot of pain. He is at the hospital. You guys can go visit him after school with me if you want to." Drew said. "We'd love to", Eli said. After that, Drew walked away. "Eli, the person who wrote this riddle is the person who hurt Adam. This is real. Either you or Alli are next."
Hope you like it! I will update every Friday! Please Review!
