Paranoid

I don't know why I did it, but I opened the door but had a kitchen knife in my hands. What you thought I was crazy enough to open the door without having a weapon. Ha. That's funny. Anyways when I opened the door it was my mom. She asked me if I didn't hear her. I didn't want to tell her why I am holding a knife or explain anything right now because she'd just say I was crazy.

The next day

I woke up and I couldn't shake the fact that I could have sworn someone was following me, but I should stop thinking about it.

Mom burnt the food again, so it was back to the dinner. I walked into the diner and because I was becoming a regular, I told them the same thing from yesterday. The boy who smiled at me came to give me my food and when I started eating, he just stood there looking at me eat. I thought oh maybe I forgot to say thank you. I said thanks and he said you're welcome, but he still stood there. Kind of creeping me out. So, he stood there until I finished my meal and I quickly left. Omg he is such a weirdo.

As I turned to look back around in the diner, I saw him grabbing his coat and walking outside. I quickly went on the bus, but he also got on and stood right next me. I tried to move but he just moved as well. My stop came and I walked off the bus and lucky he didn't get the chance to follow me off. My friends walked up behind me and scared the hell out of me. They kept laughing saying how I was a scaredy cat but if they only knew.

My teachers were the same as always Boring and I just wanted the day to be over.

*ding*.

Finally, class was over. As I got up to leave my English teacher, Mr. Sphinx, told me to stay behind. He said that I was failing and that I needed to catch up on some work, so he asked me to stay behind after school to work on my projects. It was no problem.

It was 10pm and I was almost done with my projects. Mr. Sphinx told me I could leave and finish up tomorrow. As I left, he touched me on my back when saying goodbye. Even though it doesn't sound weird he did it in a weird way. I left and realized that the bus didn't run this late, so I had to walk home. Just 4 blocks not that far right. As I walked in the dark, I heard footsteps and as I turned around nothing. I then began to walk again and heard the footsteps again. I walked faster and the footsteps became louder. I walked and walked and walked and walked as fast as I could. Then someone dragged my hand. Was something going to happen to me? I turned around and realized it was Mr. Sphinx. He told me that I left my phone and he was returning it. He offered to walk me home and because I was scared to walk by myself, I said she could. As we approached my house, I said goodbye and walked in. I opened the door and there was my mom standing there with the belt in her hand. There I thought this is what scares me the most more than anything.

All night my mom ran me down in the house bumping stuff and breaking stuff while chasing after me.
