It was the next day. The weather was dark and rainy today like always, but it seemed to last longer than usual. I shrugged the thought off, then started my morning routine.
As I was eating breakfast, my sister walked into the room and shuddered. "It's raining cats and dogs out there!" She exclaimed, as I looked at the window. The street was covered in water.
Just as I nodded in agreement, we heard a big boom come from outside, then we saw flashes of light. Thunder and lightning. Just the perfect weather to walk to school in!
My sister was taken by suprise. "Looks like you're going to need a ride to school today."
I smiled. "Thanks." I said, then I continued to eat.
As I was in the car going to school, I had a lot on my mind. What was with the weather today? What was that weird feeling I had in school yesterday? I had no idea what the answer to these questions were, but it seemed unusual...
Once I got to school I had the weird feeling again. Just great! Then I turned around and saw someone looking at me. It was Ricky. Now why was he looking at me like that? It creeped me out...
I started to walk away, when I saw Nathan heading towards me, with Katelyn. "Hey Alice!" Katelyn said.
"Sup Alice." Nathan said in a deeper tone.
"Hi guys-why the deep voice Nathan?" I asked.
Nathan smiled. "That's my gangsta' voice. You like it?" He asked in his normal voice.
I laughed. "You are so weird Nathan..."
Nathan looked at me. "Yep!"
Katelyn frowned. "Is it just me, or is the weather weird today?"
"I know right! It's really stormy! Especially for fall..." I replied.
Nathan put his hands on his shoulders. "It's cold..." He replied, smiling.
I smiled. "That's because you aren't wearing a jacket!"
"Jackets are boring..." He replied.
"They're warm!"
"No really?" He replied, with a big smile on his face.
Katelyn frowned. "Well I have to get to class. Bye!" She said as she waved then walked away.
I blinked. "What's wrong with Katie? She seems upset..."
Nathan bent his arms slightly and put his hands out in a 'I have no idea' pose. "I don't know!" Then he pretended to scratch a beard, which he doesn't have, and did a lightbulb pose.
"Look's like we have a mystery on our hands!" He replied.
"Nathan?"
"Yes Alice?"
"I think you've been watching too much Scooby Doo."
"Why yes I have! It must be a hint!" He exclaimed.
"You're stupid." I replied smiling.
"Why thank you!" He said smiling back.
The bell had just rang for school to be out. Today had been an okay day because of the weather and Ricky looking at me funny all day. What was up with that kid? The fact that Nathan was being weird all day had made me happier, but I still didn't have too good of a day. The thunder and lightning had stopped, but it was raining really hard. My sister was at work, so I had to walk home.
Luckily, I had an umbrella to protect me from the rain, but my shoes were ruined. As I was walking home, the feeling came back again. Why the heck was I having that feeling outside of school?
I stopped dead in my tracks. When I turned around, I saw Ricky. He was following me, and the even creepier part was that he was looking down at the ground while he did it. I started to walk home faster. Why was he following me? I was scared to death. I needed to get away from this kid, and fast.
I slammed the front door to my house shut. I was exhausted- I ran all the way home. I was still scared to death, so I locked the doors and put the blinds down on the windows- just in case.
Usually, if I am scared of something I write in my journal, so I did that. It didn't help- It made me even more scared. I started thinking about it. I decided to not tell my sister, but to tell Nathan about it at school tomorrow. Maybe he would help me...
(Katelyn's View)
I slammed the door to my house shut. I was sad- it seemed like my best friend Alice was substituting me for Nathan. The thought angered me. I had to do something about it...
