Chapter 2

I shifted in my seat, for I felt that I was still being watched. I glanced over at Sarah. No, she wasn't watching me.I looked around quickly. I didn't see anyone watching me. Still, I had that feeling, and that feeling wouldn't go away.

When we reached the school we got off the bus.I walked with Sarah until once inside the school. Then I climbed up the stairs, every couple of minutes making sure no one was behind me. At the top of the stairs I walked in to the hallway to my locker. I turned the dialcarefully to the first number of my combinatio, 19. Then past the zero to 39, then to 37. I pulled the locker open and put the books from my book bag into my locker. Then I took all of the books I needed for my first periods which included Spanish, English, Home Ec, Music, and Science. Then I walked to Spanish.

When lunch came I quikly walked over to Sinead and Katty.
" Hi Sinead, hi Katty!" I greeted them."
" Hi, Heather!" they said in chorus. As loyal friends they seemed to know something was wrong.

While Sinead went to the lunch line to get her lunch Katty asked me,
" Heather, what's wrong? Are you ok?" I wanted to tell her so I did.
" Well, I feel like someone's benn watching ever since I got on the bus this morning,"
" Like somene's stalking you?" inquired Katty.
" No.it's not like someone's stalking me. It just feels like someone's watching me from a distance. There have been threats yet, so it's not really stalking. Do you see any one watching me?" I asked Katty. She looked around, and then to my fright, told me that she had seen someone staring at me.
" He doen't look like he's around here," she said.
"Oh, what does he look like?" I said terrefied that someone was following and watching me. She replied,
" I only saw his face because he saw me staring at him. His face was fair, and he was very focused. His eyes were undescribable. I wonder where I have seen him before?" wondered Katty.
Sinead came back lookng starved. She told us that she had to charge her lunch and that the lunch line was going slow. Even though I heard herI was thinking about the yung manthat was watching me. Who was he? Katty's voice ran over and over in my head. Each time the curiosity in me grew. Should I be frightened? Is he going to kill me?The thoughts ran through me. I decide that I best try to avoid being alone, just incase the young man did want to kill me.
After my last class I walked to my bus. The bus driver told me that my parents wanted me to go to a nearby inn because they had gone to the doctors and wouldn't be home until the next day. My parents had already paid for my stay. The bus driver also told me that he would drop me off at the inn. The ride was short, yet it seemed so long to me because I didn't know what was going to happen to me.
