Curiosity

   Alex stood there, staring at me. "What are you doing here?" I asked rather suspicious. "I was just walking around. I like cemeteries." Squinting at him, I stepped around him. "Well...C'ya." I said and continued my walk home. I found it weird how he was there.

   Once I got home, I went into the kitchen. My mom was there with food on the table. It was pizza and wings. "Hey mom, what's in the oven?" "I'm making brownies." I smiled and got a plate. I love brownies! I put some pizza and wings on my plate. "How long will it be?" I asked while eating my pizza. "Five more minutes." She said grabbing her own food. Nodding I continued to eat my food.

   Five more minutes later, the brownies were done. Also my food was gone too. My mom was still eating hers.

   I got a cloth, opened the oven, and took the brownies out with the cloth. I closed the oven and sat the brownies on the counter to cool. I'll eat them all~ I thought.

   My mom finally finished and cut the brownies up. It was cooled by the time she finished. I grabbed some and went upstairs to go on Facebook.

   I logged in to see I've gotten a friends request from Alex. How did he know my name? Curious, I accept his request.

   I ate my brownies and logged off Facebook. I decided to take a shower then go to bed. Grabbing clothes, I went into the bathroom, shut the door, and stepped down. I jumped in the shower once I turned it on.

   I scrubbed down my body and washed my hair. My hair was getting kind of longer. I thought, turning the shower. I dried my body off and hair with a towel. I stepped out, got changed, brushed my hair and teeth. I was done for the day.

   I laid in my bed and drifted off into dreams about the murderous vampire. I'll catch them. I'll catch them soon...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Today was Friday. It was the last day of school for this week. Now I can sleep all weekend.

   I changed, brushed my teeth, and ate something quick. I couldn't wait to get this day over with.

   Hurrying out, I seen Kyle again. He walked over to me and we began walking. "So...I see your friends with Alex now." "He's new and I can be friends with whoever I want on Facebook." I frowned my brows and Kyle clenched his jaw. "Why do you care?" I asked quietly. I didn't want to make him anymore angry than he was. "He's bad news, Kate. Stay away from him." Kyle said after calming down. How does Kyle even know him? I was more curious than I've ever been.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   It's been a whole day of Kyle acting weird. It didn't help that Alex was in every class of ours. At least it was the last period of the day. History and our projects were due.

   "Who would like to go first?" The teacher asked. When nobody answered, Kyle raised his hand. "We would like too." No. You can go, I don't. But I couldn't say that.
   We stood up and walked to the front of the class. I held the poster while Kyle talked. I was shy at these things. Everyone stares at you and it's creepy.

   We were finally down and everyone clapped out of politeness. I handed our poster to the teacher and Kyle handed our paper. Now we don't have to go later. Everyone else went. Some did the same person as others. It was getting boring faster than expected.

   The bell ranged and everyone ran out leaving me, Kyle, and Alex behind. Alex and Kyle had a stare down while I sat there confused. Standing up, I took Kyle's hand and dragged him out of the school. "Seriously. What's up with you two?" I asked and released his hand once we got outside. "It's nothing. Honestly." Kyle said. "Then why do you guys keep glaring at each other? It doesn't look like nothing to me." Kyle looked away and began walking, I followed beside him. "Just drop it Kate, please." I frowned. "Okay..." We feel into an uncomfortable silence as we headed home. I wouldn't let this go, but I'll do it for now. I wouldn't stop until I found out the truth.
