As we left the house, I asked her "What did you get from Mrs. Periwinkle (Catherine's mom)?" She coolly replied "Oh, not much. Just some stuff," I started to tell her about my day and how Catherine and I talked about celebrities, Samantha and all her stupid drama, dress up, and all the other stuff we did. Dawn had commented about how stupid the celebrities could be, but how some of them had true talent. When I talked about Samantha, her eyes darkened and talk about Samantha as if she was a threat to humanity. Wow, she really hates Samantha, I thought to myself. When I brought up the dress up Catherine and I did, she laughed. "You two must have looked awful! Why would you do that?" she said. "Because..." I said, trying to think of a good reason. I did not need Dawn to smart-mouth me. "Because you are stupid and have no life," she said, smirking. "Shut up. That is the exact opposite of why we did it," I retorted. "Mhm, Sure. That's exactly why you did it. You are smart and have a life," Dawn said sarcastically. "Yes, that is why," I said, smiling. "They day you are smart and have a social life is the day Catherine will be friends with Samantha," Dawn said. "Did you dress up like trash for your husband, who is also like trash?" she added. I knew exactly who she was talking about. I couldn't believe she said that. After what he did, she thinks I like him? Is she insane? "Shut up! I would and will never ever do that! You better keep that mouth shut!" I yelled a Dawn. She seemed to back away. I thought it was because she was a bit intimidated me, but I realized people were staring at us. That was probably why she backed away from me, so that people would think that I am crazy, and she was just some normal person who didn't know me. She hates attention a lot. I scooted and whispered "Ok, I won't act like an idiot. Still, don't say that," Dawn didn't say anything, but smiled, which probably meant this wasn't end. I groaned and said "I hate you," Again, Dawn said nothing, but smiled, indicating that she was happy.
We kept talking until we reached the topic of our parents. "Mom and dad... I miss them," I said seriously. Dawn looked a bit surprised, probably because I was laughing two seconds ago, and now I was about to cry. "Well, they will always be in your heart. They can hear us. See the sky?" she pointed to the sky. "They are watching us this very moment," she said soothingly. I touched the area my heart was in. My parents will always be there, just think of them, I thought to myself. "Mom wouldn't want you to dwell on the past. She would want you to move on," Dawn added. "Ok, I won't. I will try to move on," I said. We kept walking in silence. The area seemed oddly quiet, with no people around. I started to feel nervous, also because it was nighttime. All of the sudden, I got a feeling that someone was watching me. I don't know how, but I just got a feeling that something was going to get me. I almost felt a hand brush my shoulder, when I turned around. I saw no one. I turned back, but feeling wary of my surroundings. "Dawn, aren't you getting the feeling that we are being watched?" I asked nervously. Dawn chuckled. "Don't worry, it's just your imagination," she assured me. I held and squeezed her hand. I felt a bit safer around her. I told myself it was nothing, yet I couldn't help but feel that someone was following us. However, the feeling slowly started to leave me, and I let go of Dawn's hand. "Not scared anymore, are you?" she asked. "Not really. I think I can handle this by myself," I replied. Right that moment I felt a hand cover my mouth and an icy voice whisper "Don't make a sound, or else I will kill you,"
