Chapter One
After our little reunion, Kyle dragged me outside and he insisted we play catch. But that wasn't all, he decided to play "Let's throw Jessica in a mud pile!".
I had just gotten out of the shower and I started blow drying my hair, but something caught my eye in the mirror.
There was something at my window. Or someone?
I got up, half my hair wet and curly, the other half dry and straight. Not that it mattered, if this was some sort of peeping tom, I would not be happy at all.
I looked out my window, and say steely gray eyes. I knew those eyes. They were familiar. Too familiar.
But I couldn't place my figure on who it was. I heard a quiet knock at my door, and I saw Aaron pop his head into my room, "Nice hair," he commented.
I rolled my eyes, and with a quick glance at the window, I went back to blow drying it.
"So, how's my favourite girl?" he asked, sitting on my bed.
"Pretty good, you?" I asked, pushing the eyes to the back of my mind.
"Relieved," he said, letting out a sigh, "I'm finally out of that closet."
"Oh, come on," I started, smiling, "Kyle couldn't have been that bad."
"Yea, well, you weren't locked in a closet with him."
"That's true," I said, finishing up quickly.
"Something up?" he asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Oh, uh, no. It's-- No, it's nothing. Just my mind's clouded," I lied.
"Something's bothering you, you know you can tell me," he told me.
"Yea, I know I can, it's just that..."
"You don't trust me?"
"No-- I mean, I do," I contemplated for a few moments, "look out my window."
"How's this--"
"Just do it."
He got up off my bed and looked out my window, "Now, what do you see?" I asked. He squinted his eyes trying to see the gray eyes that were still staring back at us.
"Um, a lot of trees?" he said, not sure.
"You don't see them?" I asked, confused. They were practically glowing. Screaming for him to see them, but he couldn't How could he not see them?
"See them?" he asked, "What am I supposed to see?"
"The eyes, they're right there," I pointed at them, they had a gleam in them, challenging me to do something about it, "you honestly can't see them?"
"No, I honestly can't see them," he said, leaning in closer. They were still staring straight at us, they were hard to miss. They were popping out against the trees, but then they got closer.
"They-- Aaron, they're closer," I stuttered. I couldn't take my eyes off them. It was as if I was drawn to them. I held their gaze, mine slightly wavering.
They were intense, they made my body go rigid. They scared me, to sum it all up.
"Hey, Jess, look at me," he said, turning my face from the window, "it's probably your eyes playing a trick on you, it happens," he assured me, "Now let's go downstairs, or else Kyle will come up here, mud and all, and give you a giant bear hug," he wrapped an arm around my waist and led me away from the window.
I took a glance at my mirror, and saw somebody there. But they were grinning, I couldn't see their whole face, they had their face shadowed by their hood, but I could easily see their eyes and half their face.
Something big was about to happen.
