PARANOIA
Prologue
“Hey! Wait up! Don’t leave me!!!” I yelled as I tried to catch up with my friends.
But, the strange thing is, they never stopped for me. Instead, they just walked on. And when they notice me getting closer to them, they speed up their pace.
“What’s going on? Why won’t they stop for me? Why are they getting away from me?” thoughts pondered in my head as I started to panic.
After a while, I gave up. I just fell on the ground on my knees, staring as they continue to walk on, pretending I never existed. To top it all off, it started to rain, and I burst into tears.
“Why? What’s going on?” I asked myself that question a million times, screaming without a care in the world.
I woke up screaming, only to find out it was all a dream. What’s more, my head was pounding like never before. I calmed myself by taking deep breaths and let reality sink in.
Since no one barged into my room eventhough I’m pretty sure the whole neighborhood could hear that ear piercing scream, I guessed that my parents has set off to work and my little siblings have gone to school. Great. I’m alone in the house. Again.
I was sure my heart almost died when I saw that it was already 9a.m. which means I was SUPER late for school but as I cleared my head, I remembered that it was a weekend.
I checked my dressing table and found a note left by my family. It read:-
We’ve gone out to buy some groceries and get some stuff done with Amy and Alex. Won’t be back till evening. Breakfast and lunch is in the fridge.
Love,
Mom and Dad.
I forced myself to leave my bed cause my stomach was grumbling and telling me that it’s hungry. I freshened up and made my way to the glorious food in the kitchen. I heated them up and delightfully gobbled it all down.
To digest it all, I couched in front of the television and browsed through the channels. Considered early for a teen, there wasn’t any shows that suited my taste. So, to burn the calories, I decided to just take a walk around the place.
I took my coat, brought some loose change and went on my way down to the shops. One thing, when I’m bored, I start eating… So technically, my calories aren’t really burning.
At the same time, I started thinking, about the dream I had. Why and What did I do to cause me to dream that nightmare.
“Maybe I’m just paranoid. I’m thinking too much.” I thought to myself.
After realizing that it wasn’t that big a deal, I brushed it off my mind and never thought about I again.
Or so I thought.
