The Monster In My Closet

Chapter One Back to It Again

"MOMMY!"

I ran out of the room as fast as my little legs could carry me. I shoved open my parents bedroom door and jumped on their bed.

"Sweet heart whats wrong?"

"He's back mommy!"

"Who's back?!" My father said grudgingly but protectively.

"Him, he's giggling again!"

"Who?" My mother asked.

"The monster in my closet!" I shuddered at that last word

I replay that scene again and again in my head every time i hear that word. Monster. I shook my head and pushed that memory away. I knew I was 6 and probably sugar high from all the candy and cookies I sneaked but still it felt so... Real.

I was currently watching a Sci-Fi movie and that was the first thing that popped in my heard. The countless times of running in my parents bedroom at night and spending the rest of it in their bedroom. But soon they have had enough of it and after a year they wouldn't let me sleep in their room.

I was forced to sleep in that room. I heard giggles coming from my closet and had an urge to jump and run back again. But I couldn't because my parents had promised to get me a puppy if i stopped annoying them. And boy did i want that puppy. They promised me that if i sleep alone for 1 week that puppy would be as good as mine.

That week was truly terrifying.

"Hehehe" There it was again.

I pulled the sheets up higher and cover myself. The sheets felt like a protective shield but still the laugh still haunts me.

After a few nights I didn't hear the laugh anymore. I was able to sleep in peace. And I finally got my puppy.

Im currently 15 and starting high school. Most people would be nervous right? Yeah not me. Im not really afraid of many things anymore If I get bullied, someone gets kicked where the sun don't shine or a girl would run away crying with my clever comebacks stuck in the back of her head. And yes guys and girls have tried being my friends and only several have made the cut. And no I'm not a deranged psychopath, I just have trust issues. Like how you'd think when your parents say "We will be together forever" meant no divorce. But guess what? IT HAPPENED! So yeah my mom left and Im stuck with my dad. I trusted them and i thought they would make it out till the end but i guess not. Well thats you get for trusting people eh? Like when they argued for countless nights and neither would agree to something. They never came to an agreement.

I woke up to a new day. A new beginning. And the first day of dreaded high-school. I did the usual. Showered, brushed my teeth and got ready for school. But i couldn't help but hear that laughter in my head when i passed my closet. I headed down to the smell chocolate chip waffles and coffee. My dad wasn't much of a cook but it was good enough for me. He's tried before but the pan caught on fire and we ended ordering pizza. Ever since then Ive always had the fire department on speed dial.

"Bye dad!" I yelled as he pulled out of the parking lot.

"Bye chipmunk!" He yelled laughing.

Curse my chubby cheeks.

"CORINTH!!!!!!"

I winced at the sound and touched my ears making sure they weren't bleeding.

Man why did i pick the loud ones?

"Macy"

"Cmon its the first day of high-school, Lighten up will ya? You'll give off a better impression."

I smiled at her remark.

I picked her cuz she was always right.

"Alright Alright, so wheres the others?"

"There waiting for us inside."

"Lets a go then!" I said in my best Mario voice.

She laughed and pulled me into the school and thats when i noticed her outfit.

"I thought we were suppose to give off a good impression?" i said pointing to her short, red, mini dress.

She frowned and looked at me.

"It is not that short!"

"Yeah whatever helps you sleep at night"

She grunted and looked at my outfit.

"Well how about you? Ya look like your auditioning for a Biker in those 80s movies!"

I was wearing a red crop top, leather jacket, black skinny jeans and and my black vans.

"Might wanna take that back after i point out your pink underwear!"

Her faced turned as red as a tomato and she whispered "be quiet!"

We approached our friends and they seemed to be amused by our faces.

"Ya look like you walked in on your parents making babies ."

I chuckled. Typical Cameron.

Oh I forgot to introduce my very very unique group of friends.

Macy first off was the girly girl. I used to despise her because of how prissy she was but when we got paired up in a project and found out we have a lot in common. Especially her secret love of star wars. Then theres Cameron, my perverted yet hilarious friend who is also a player.

"Cory!"

Meet Aaron my sweet yet mysterious friend. I had a little crush on him but i soon lost as i had been friend-zoned.

"Aaron!" i gave him a bear hug of all hugs. I couldn't help but the stares by the other girls as we hugged but it was okay. If it weren't for me standing up to him in 5th grade he would still be acting as fake as ever.

I heard a grunt and looked at the disgusted faced girl at the end of the table.

Meet Korra.

"You cant sit with us." She said.

"We only wear black on Mondays." i said.

She laughed and lunged at me for a hug. Yeah it was a bff thing.

I let go and pulled out my schedule and we alll started chatting about which classes we have together. Cameron was already eye raping some girls as usually.

I felt it would be a good year. Ive got my friends and im a good student. What could go wrong?

I looked around the cafeteria and tried to memorize this day, detail by detail. Then i felt as if eyes were burning in the back of my head

I turned around and heard a familiar laugh.
