I am loving the reviews! You guys rock my knee high socks off :D haha. No joke. I really am wearing knee high socks. But that's beyond the point. You guys keep me motivated. I am very glad that you enjoy my story and I hope you continue reading until the end!
All I could do was try not to puke.
Carly looked like she had just seen a watermelon truck fall from the sky and turn into a three legged chicken.
Sam looked like she was about to pull out a gun and blow somebody's head off.
My head.
The words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat (along with my toaster strudel). Sam, I'm sorry. But Carly is our friend. She loves us no matter what. And she even squealed! She's happy! See?
But no. I couldn't say that because she would argue back and find some way to make me feel horrible. That's just how Sam operated. When the spotlight went on her, she attacked someone else to pull the attention away from her. So I did the only thing I could do. I stood up, and I left. I could feel their eyes burning a hole into my back as I walked across the hall to the stairs. As I was walking down them, I stepped on each step slowly and carefully, listening to the small creaks that the wood made. My rhythm stayed consistent until I was about halfway down, when the stairs started making noises that my feet definitely weren't making.
Someone was behind me.
I softened my footsteps and listened carefully to try and figure out which one it was. Soft steps meant it was Carly, and stomps meant it was Sam. But what I heard was in between that. Almost like a loud sneak.
Someone was trying to follow me, without me knowing. And that freaked me out a little.
As I approached the large window located above the platform before the last set of stairs into the lobby, I figured out a way to find out who it was. Just one more flight of stairs. As I walked, I listened to the footsteps behind me. They would get closer, then stop. Then closer, then stop. Not to mention that they were way offbeat from mine, which sounded something like this:
Thump Thump, Thump Thump, Thump Thump.
Relatively similar to a perfect heartbeat.
Their's sounded more like this:
ThumpThumpThumpThumpThumpThumpThump-p. (Long pause). ThumpThumpThumpThumpThumpThumpThump-p.
Relatively similar to a woodpecker on crack.
Finally, the window was in sight. Since the sun still hadn't risen, it was still dark outside. This would make it easier to spot my stalker.
The stalker was on a pause break, and I slowed my steps slightly to catch their reflection before I turned the corner. Slower, slower, slower. Still nothing. They had stopped walking completely and didn't seem to have any intention of continuing.
So, not caring if they saw me or not, I turned around.
And nobody was there.
Alright, I felt like that was a good ending for this chapter. I wanted to do a quicky update. My next chapter will be long and eventful, I promise you. Until then, review like the wind, my friends! :D
