And like the usual, send me your reviews!
"Look at you, just a few hours eighteen, already glowing like a wonderful lady." Alissa's Aunt places her hand over her shoulder as she smiles warmly,
Alissa tries not to blush at her aunt's compliments. She keeps talking about how she's almost old enough to do everything herself. Her mother shakes her head, "She's too smart for her age,"
She tries not to react to their remarks as much and just wish she's spending time with her friends in the living room.
Alissa walks to the living room and hears her friends with one of her cousins in the middle of a whispering discussion. She pauses and overhears them, "...five have been missing already,"
"You think he took them?"
Alissa frowns, "You know what I think?"
Her friends and her cousin glances at her all at once,
"I think it's a load of crap." Alissa continues her statement, her arms crossed,
Her cousin shakes his head, "Just think of the possibility-"
"-there is no possibility. It's just some guy in a suit scaring kids and using IT as a cover." Alissa interrupts, walking closer to the couch. She looks over at her friend, Jamie, who smirks at her,
"I don't know Alissa, I mean your cousin's got a good conspiracy theory, though." Jamie says then drinks from her cup,
"You guys aren't buying this?" Alissa shakes her head, "Don't scare yourself, Kyle."
Kyle stands from his seat and turns the TV on, surfing the channels, "If you just look-"
Alissa sees one of the news channels flashing a photo of one of the missing kids, making her rush to grab the remote from Kyle. She takes it and changes the channel, "Kyle, stop this." She demands, "It's my birthday. We can talk about killer clowns some other time, okay?"
Kyle agrees and slumps into his seat again,
Alissa's friends glance at her,
"How about we play board games, Kyle?"
Kyle grimances, "I'm fifteen,"
"What? You can't play board games at fifteen?" Jamie teases,
Alissa chuckles and glances at her cousin, sitting in front of the TV. As her company starts setting up the game, she notices the commercial playing on TV. It shows a kids running towards a box of cereals with a clown's face on it. Its golden hair and big, red nose reminds her of It again. Her smile turns upside down, and she's completely focused on the TV. She watches intently, hoping to see a sign, a sign that he knows that she knows. But the cereal commercial ends without anything that points to Pennywise's appearance.
She feels lightly disappointed and drags her eyes to the board game laid on the table,
"Here, might as well play with us," Kyle says as he holds out a piece from the game that's shaped like a clown,
Alissa snaps at her cousin, "I said nothing clown-related!"
Kyle looks at her in confusion with the rest of the people in the living room,
Alissa looks at them, "What?"
Kyle looks at the piece in his hand, "This is a truck, how is this clown-related?"
Alissa realizes her mistake. She gives the piece a second look and still see a clown face. She glances back at everyone, confused, she stutters on her words and before she could speak out, Kyle laughs with everyone.
She starts to look around, gaping, "Wh-what's funny?"
Kyle places the piece on the board, "I'm just messing with you," he says and laughs again, "You think you're hallucinating! Like in the movie! Get it?" he starts laughing louder than everyone else,
Alissa rolls her eyes, "Real funny." She starts walking away, "You guys are lame."
Jamie tries to stop Alissa and grabs her arm playfully, "Hey we're just playing around, play with us and spend your last night as a cute teen."
"I'm going to bed, Alright, I'm tired."
"We were just joking-"
Alissa chuckles lightly and suddenly glances at the window behind Jamie then at her, but she gives the glass window a second look. Alissa starts thinking if she just saw a clown figure outside their house. She ends up standing there, frozen.
"What's wrong?" Jamie asks,
She looks at the window again, "I-I think I just got a headache," Alissa says and pulls away, "I'm gonna rest. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
Jamie nods, doubting Alissa's decision, but she lets her anyway.
As Alissa makes her way across the room, Jamie brushes off the thought and tells everyone to play the game instead until they have to leave the house. Alissa slowly walks into her room, shuts it lightly, and leans her back against the door. She looks down at the ground, light closed, and stays quiet for a few seconds.
I saw it this time. It wasn't a stupid joke anymore. I know I saw it outside the house. I run to the window of my room to look outside, and all I see is an empty street. The street is dead. The figure I saw is too vivid to be something my mind just happened to make up.
One last time, I look out my window and still see nothing-
"Did you find it?" a low, raspy voice makes me jump from my seat and turn around,
The clown's in my fucking room. His jester suit is visible only with the help of the light from my window, but I can tell that it's him. The voice gave it away. Who the hell could it possibly be, anyway?
He looks so much taller now that he's standing across my bedroom,
He stays still, "If you find it, let me know so I can take a picture," he slowly shows his hand holding my fucking camera.
