I wake up early the next morning. Just like any other weekday, I take a bath and wear my favourite pair of ripped boyfriend jeans and white crop top.After I am all prepared to go to school, I decide to go and check upon Noah first.

I go to his den and knock hesitantly but he doesn't reply. I push the door open and go inside his room. He isn't there. His bed is neatly made. And then it strikes me that he crashed at his friend's last night.

I call Alex to ask him to pick me up. But unfortunately, he will not be attending the school today. He has to go to his maternal grandmother's funeral in Iowa. Man, I thought his grandma would live for several years more, after all, she was just 105 years old. I was really disappointed with him so, I fired him from his job as my chauffeur.

So, I don't have any ride to school and finally, decide to skip school. Okay, I decided to bunk because Alex won't be coming to school. School isn't fun without him. Every student can skip school once, at least! Life without bunking is like life without Nutella. From that I recall, I haven't eaten nutella in a long time. I want NUTELLA!

I rush out of my house. The sky is very grey today. Just like my day...God! I am already missing Alex. The wind blows past my face and makes my hair sway. An obnoxious truck is parked in front of the entrance of my home, blocking my way out.

A surge of anger runs through my body as unpleasant words rush out of my mouth. "Move your f***ing car the hell out of my way!" I seriously got up at my wrong side of the bed today.

"Um...young lady, no way is this car moving anywhere." A man comes into view from the driver's seat. He has dirty blond hair and hideous crooked teeth. His appearance radiates an unfriendly environment.

After he finishes speaking a young girl comes towards me from behind the truck.

"I am so sorry," she apologises to me and then faces the driver. " George, please move the truck a little forward."

" I am Kiara, by the way" she speaks after the truck is shifted from in front of my house.

" It's nice to meet you, Kiara. I am Haley."

" It's nice to meet you too. I would have to go now, it's just that I am really busy, I just moved in next to your house, guess we're neighbours now!'

"Well, that's great! We'll get to see each other more."

" Yeah...Bye then."

"Bye" We wave at other and part our ways.

I have my headphones on, as I am walking on the streets listening to my new playlist, of which I couldn't get enough of. I don't know where I am going but that I would end up somewhere.

OK, that's dramatic.

I end up at Starbucks. As expected. I order my regular, Java Chip Frappuccino and then I am off to my place.

As I am walking, someone bumps into me and I spill all my coffee all over my white crop top, which wasn't a pleasant colour now. And also my expensive drink went all done my clothes and then the drain. How much I wanted to drink it...

I looked in front to see who the person is. All colour drains from my face as I see Jacob standing in front of me.

"Oh! I am so sorry," he says. "I am really sorry."

"It's totally fine and you don't need to be sorry."

"Of course, it's not fine. You're all covered in coffee."

" No, it's fine," I say reassuring him.

"OK, if you say so. But why aren't you at school?" He asks.

"I can ask you the same question," I trail.

"Well...bye I need to go." He says cutting the conversation short.

"Um...Bye," as I say, he turns around and walks away from me.

Suddenly, I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. I have a new message.

You were totally blushing in front of him. I know you like him. I'll keep your secret if you keep mine.

-Z

Someone is stalking me! Again. But who is this Z ?I sure am scared to an extent where no one can be scared anymore. There is some creep out there who is watching at my every move.

Once I am home I feel safer. I curl up on my bed and try to forget everything that have had happened. But again, it was just a text message. This Z hadn't tried to hurt me.
