2. The Phone Call
Before I could even think about what happened, or was happening, I was pushed by the crowd of kids getting out of school to the back, where I would walk home. I tried to look over the heads of the other teens, but it was simply impossible. I sighed, not knowing what had gotten over me.
By the time I was half way home, I decided it hadn't really happened. I just haven't been getting enough sleep lately I thought. Before I knew it, I was home.
"How was your day, Takishi?" mother asked me as soon as I came into the house.
"Just peachy, as usual." I sighed as I went up to my room to put away my school things. Mom was a neat freak, probably downstairs making dinner, talking to father about their perfect lives and their 'perfect children'. Well, at least one of them was.
"Hey Takishi!" Jeeku ran into my room suddenly.
"Jeeku, what did I tell you about knocking? I could have been changing, for all you know." Jeeku, my younger sister, was the only person that could make me smile. I tried to hide my smile, but it didn't work.
"Did you have a good day? Did ya?" Jeeku asked impatiently.
"Yeah," I said, as Jeeku jumped on my back.
"Piggy back!" she screeched loudly. I could tell mom was wondering what was going on.
"Ok, ok, just be quiet." I ran around my room, then finally I dropped her on the bed, making sure she wouldn't get hurt. She giggled quietly. "Ok kiddo, we better get ready for dinner. Go wash your hands." Jeeku nodded harshly and ran down the stairs to the bathroom to wash her hands. I sighed and sat down on my bed.
I had a ton of homework…Aw hell, who cares? Like I'm passing anyways, fuck the homework. I pushed my backpack far behind my bed, so I wouldn't be reminded. I usually did my homework, but it wasn't helping anyways. I sighed as I walked downstairs, also washing my hands. My mom treated me like a child, I had a bed time and everything. Like I ever listened, though.
"What's for dinner?" Jeeku asked loudly as she sat down on her chair.
"Rice, vegetables, squid, and some new expensive juice I found the other day." I nodded and started eating, I didn't really care what was on my plate. About ten minutes later, I was done.
"I'll do the dishes mom." I took the rest of the dirty dishes into the kitchen and got the water hot enough, then filled up the sink. My dad was about to leave.
"Bye dad," I said, in a monotone voice. I finished doing the dishes and headed upstairs to 'do my homework'. Jeeku had gone to a friends house, and mom was about to leave for a meeting.
"You do your homework, alright?" mom told me.
"Yeah mom, just go."
"I love you, Takishi."
"…" Suddenly the door slammed shut. Finally, they were all gone. I got down to play my X-Box. Suddenly, the phone rang. Sighing, I got up to pick up the phone.
"Hello?"
"…"
"Hello? Anyone?"
"Is this Takishi?"
"Yes? Who is this?"
"I'm coming."
"What? What are you talking about? Who are you?"
"I'm coming over. I'll be there soon."
"Wait! What--"
"Beep, beep, beep" I hung up the phone slowly. What was going on? Who was on the phone? I began to get chills. Is this a prank? Somehow, I didn't think so. I nervously awaited the doorbell to ring. As I was playing, I could hear the doorbell from downstairs. I jumped, getting up. Slowly I walked down the stairs. I opened the door slowly, carefully. "H-hello?"

Authors Notes- Yeah, this sounds like a dumb horror story now. God, maybe I'm not cut out for this? Heh. Anyways, please comment, before I make another chapter for no real reason. That's all for now.
