(Italic means Tea is reading. This will mostly be in Tea POV)
During study hall was the same as it was everyday. Yugi, and Joey playing Duel Monsters, and Tristan watching. I usually enjoy watching them, but after awhile it started to get a little on the boring side. Then I remembered the red envelope stuck in the pages of my math book. I opened my math book and pulled out the envelope. I set up my math book so no one else could read it. I opened it and pulled out a letter.
To My Tea,I have been watching you. Don't worry, someday will be together. Until then remember I am watching you my love.
From, Always with you.
I stared at the note. It was weird. Maybe it was just a sick joke. No one would be stalking me. "What's that?" I heard someone say. I jammed the note back into my book. I looked up. It most have been Yugi. He was looking at me with questioning eyes.
"Um nothing, just some note my parents left me," I said. He smiled. "Ok," he said.
"So who won?" I asked changing the subject.
"Yugi," Tristan said. "He killed him."
"Hey," Joey scowling.
"Don't worry Joey you didn't do bad. You might win next time," Yugi said reassuringly.
"Thanks Yug," Joey said turning his scowl to a smile.
On the way home I felt more awkward. After that reading that note made me more suspicious. My eyes darted back and forth making shire noone was talking about me or fallowing me. I thought some one grabbed my arm. I spun around and yelled, "What do you want?" Noone answered only busy people walked by. I felt so stupid. I ran the rest of the way home avoiding any sign of contact with any other person.
As usual noone was home. I walked to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water. "Get a hold of your self Tea. There is no one fallowing you. Everything is just fine," I told my self.
"Are you sure about that?" I heard someone say in the hall. I froze in fear. I didn't recognize the voice. I moved my eyes to the door still facing the mirror. I timidly walked to the door, and slowly turned the knob. I hesitated for a second before pulling it open. The metal felt ice cold beneath my finger. My mouth went dry and my toung felt twice its size. I could hear my teeth staring to chatter, and my knees knocking. I put my ear up to the door and tried to listen to hear if there was anyone behind the door. I didn't hear anyone, so I opened the door. I slowly walked out. I tiptoed into the hall looking left and right. I checked the other rooms. Noone there. I sighed. 'I must have just imagined it. I'm just being paranoid' I went to the family room and turned on the T.V. Nothing good was on, so I only half watched the show. 'What if I didn't just imagine it. They did send me a letter, maybe they were really here.'
'No, they couldn't have been. That letter was just a joke.'
'But what if it wasn't. What if I was really being fallowed? What if someone was really in the house? Or still is.' I snapped out of my thoughts. 'I'm losing it.'
I went to the kitchen to make some dinner. I pulled out a pack of Easy Mack and started to fallow the directions. While I waited for it to finish cooking in the microwave I read a magazine. I heard the doorbell ring. I looked up from my magazine. 'Who could that be?' I thought. I walked quickly over to the door, and opened it. I poked my head out the door. "Odd, no one there. Must have been some prankster," I said to noone. I was about to shut the door, but a bright colored box was lying on the steps. I walked over with curiosity and cautiousness in my mind. I picked it up and put it to my ear. 'Nothing ticking, I guess that means it's not a bomb.'
I heard the microwave go off. I ran back to the kitchen. I took out the hot bowl and let it cool on the counter for a second. I checked a few minutes later. 'Still too hot,' I thought. I decided to open the box. I moved away the white tissue paper inside, and uncovered a breath taking golden locket. I smiled. It must be from one of the guys, or maybe a relative. I brought my macaroni and cheese into the living room. Since none of my parents were home, I decided to eat on the couch. I grabbed a fork and started to go into the living room. I turned on the T.V. and flipped through the channels. I stopped at the food network and watched a documentary on Christmas food. I picked through the noodles. I didn't really feel like eating.
The phone rang. I reached behind me and answered the call. "Hello," I said into the phone.
"Hello," a voice said on the other end.
"Who is this?" I asked lying down tired from school.
"Don't tell me you don't know who I am," the voice said. It sounded gruff in the phone.
"Who is this?" I asked again. This was starting to frustrate me.
"It's me Tea," the person said. I was starting to get nervous.
"Come on Joey. I know it's you. Joey? Tristan? Come on this isn't funny," I said.
"Come on my Tea, don't mistake me for your friends. You know we are more than that."
"Shut up! If you aren't Joey or Tristan than who are you?" I said.
"I can see you," the voice said after a few moments of silence.
"What?" I said sitting up.
"I can see you," It said again, "and I see you are wearing my gift."
I looked at the locket. 'Oh God," I thought, I took it off. I walked over to the window and looked out side. I saw no one. "I'm calling the police," I said.
"Don't get too drastic," the cvoice said again, "Besides I have to go. But don't forget Tea you are never alone. And don't forget you belong to me." Then the phone crackled. The person hung up. I put the phone back in its place. "It's Ok. It's Ok," I told myself. "It was probably just the guys." I sat back down still scared about what had just recently happened. "I hate being alone," I said. I got tired and fell asleep on the couch.
