Chapter 4

For some reason, I wanted to see what was happening there, watching someone else through their window, I felt I was a stalker, but I didn't plan to harm this person or anything, so I was basically not. Someone walked into the room, I took the swing chair that was in the room, closer to the window, so I could sit and be comfortable. The person was a male, a teenage male. The person just stood there, ran his hands through his hair roughly, then sat on the bed for awhile doing nothing. I got bored and decided to go to bed but just when I stood up from the chair, the person also stood up. It was then, it occurred to me that he looked familiar. Was it Uche? Did he live next door? He stood there looking in my direction for a while, I think he just noticed that I was there. I bent down immediately and creeped to my bedside. I hope he didn't know it was me. He would think I was psycho to be watching him through the window. After a moment of breathing heavily, because he almost caught me, In my bed now, I peeped through the window In a way that I wasn't noticable, his lights was still on. I just laid in bed ready to wait till he turned off those lights. Morning. I woke up when I heard loud knocking on my room door. I picked up my phone and looked at the screen lock for the time, it was 7:26. It was past 7!! "Julie?!!" My aunt was still knocking. I got up from the bed and hurried to the bathroom. Quickly putting on a belt for my skirt, I hopped on one foot, trying to wear my sandals. "Aunt!" I said once I opened the door and saw her there already dressed up for work."Good morning." I greeted. "You're gonna make me late for work, Julie, get your bag, let's leave." She said and I did. Hurrying downstairs, she handed me a bowl of cereal. Did she make my cereal for me? "Nick's left for school already, that was when I knew you were still asleep.I initially planned on driving you both to school today and then register you, but Nick left, go on eat, hurry." I looked at the bowl in my hand. She had put more milk than I liked into the cereal, now it was almost soggy. I picked up the spoon and put a spoonful in my mouth, I had already made her late for work, like she said, the least I could do right now, was to finish this cereal and get into her car, so we could leave. "I'm done." I announced victoriously, with some of the cereal still in my mouth. "Good, let's go." She was now at the door, holding it and waiting for me to pass through. I quickly rinsed my hands in the kitchen sink and was almost at the door when she said: "Grab me an apple from the table." I went back and got one of the apples on the dinning table. Finally, we were in her car, I could breath without hurry. She took a bite of the apple and started the car, I sat in f ront with her.When her car drove past Uche's house, I looked back just to see it again. "What?" She held her brake. "Uh?" I asked not knowing why she asked what. "Did you forget something?" "No." I shook my head. "You were looking backwards, like you forgot something." "No. I didn't forget anything." "Okay." She took a bite off the apple again. when we got to the school, I could see some of the students still walking in. I followed her when we were directed to an office. We had to wait for awhile before a woman came in. "Good morning, so sorry, I couldn't be here earlier." She greeted. "She's the one to be admitted?" 'Obviously!!!" I yelled inside my mind. My aunt just nodded. "Alright, welcome to our school." The woman smiled. Someone else came into the office, after a quick knock, it was a student. "You asked for me?" The girl asked. "Yes, I need you to show....." She stopped."Julie right?" she asked me. "Yes." I nodded. "Please show Julie here to your classroom, she is new and will be joining your class." I didn't need to be told to get up and follow the girl. When we were both about to leave, I heard my aunt say. "Bye baby." She smiled as usual."Have a good day." I had no choice than to return the smile even though I found it weird, what she just called me but I figured out it was a sort of way she showed her love. I've heard her call Nick weirder things. When we left the office, I let the girl lead the way and we walked for a while before she finally spoke. "I'm Casey." She smiled looking back at me. I swear, I wanted to roll my eyes to show how uninterested I was, in getting to know her but I didn't. I chose to be nice Julie today, so I smiled back. "Julie." She nodded when I said my name. W didn't say anything to each other till we got to where the Lockers were in the hallway. I followed her when she walked up to one of the lockers. She opened the top one. "I have a free locker below mine, that's why I was asked to take you to class, so I could also show you to your locker." She took out a note. "Wait.... mine's the one below?" She nodded. "Why? I don't like it." Why would they give me this one! "If you want....you can use mine, I'll take the the lower one." She smiled. I looked at her for a while, was she serious? If I did that, then I will be this selfish new girl, I didn't want her own friends thinking that. "I don't have friends, don't worry, no one would say anything, not like anyone cares." She said like she read my thoughts, I looked at her again, worried this time, can she hear my thoughts."Trust me." She added them smiled again. "Don't worry, I'll manage." I said and she lead the way again."Why don't you have friends? You don't look like a nerd?" She didn't look anything like a nerd, who is likely to not have friends. She was tall, taller than I was even, and she was beautiful, and dressed quite alright, so i had ask. "I...uhm...I used to...." She stopped talking and walking too, we were at our class' door, I guess. " I will explain later." She smiled and she went in, I followed. ±±±±±±±±±± Heyy, it's your author geni.
