I stared intensely at the classroom clock hoping for the bell to ring. It was the last class of the day, it was Friday and I wanted to head home. This week has been brutal. There's been nothing best tests and pop quizzes in nearly every class period. Not to mention I kinda picked a fight with Hank Freedmen, the school's number one punk. It was bound to happen... we tend to go at it on a weekly bases. It all started with him tossing my lab partner into the outside pool two days ago. I would have just helped the guy out the pool and ignore Hank if it wasn't nearly under twenty degrees outside. I pulled Cody out of the pool before slamming my fist into Hank's jaw. Luckily, one of the teachers witness everything so I got off easy. Cody has been home sick since then. And Hank ended up being suspended for a day. I wish it would have been longer but with him being also the number one athlete they took it easy on him. 

Hank then had one of his goons give a me message. On how he is going beat me black and blue after school on Friday. Hence why I want to get out of here soon I could. I normally would have taken Hank on like I usually do but if my grandpa gets another call from the school not only will I get an ear full but I will be cleaning out the pig pins for a month!! He knows I can't stand the smells of pigs... especially their scat. All scat is horrible but... I shuddered at the thought. 

I clutched to my bag until the bell finally rang and a moment too soon. Hank just walked into the class room he still had a pretty decent bruise right near his chin. The expression on his face made him look like the Hulk ready to smash. Everyone were all googled eyed waiting to see what would happen. Even the homeroom teacher just stared. To piss him off even more I gave him a snarky smile before waving bye. Luckily I sit near the window in the classroom which happens to be on the first floor. I quickly opened it and slipped out before Hank could react. Hank spouted some swear words and how he would hunt me down and some other things before his voiced faded away the further I got away.

I slowed my pace down to a walk soon I reached outside the school's gate. I took a few glances back to be sure I wasn't followed. When I saw no one I then made my way down a several blocks. Fridays were the only days I could spend time in town until late. Grandpa is strict that way. But he a good point to everything. So I don't hold it against him. I tend to roam around until I see something of interest. Sometimes I'll catch movie depending what is playing, usually before I tend to order large pizza for myself so I wouldn't have to spend roughly $15 on two items at the theaters. But today I choose to head over to the library. Normally I wouldn't but I had a few books that needed to be returned. Also, if Hank was still after me still to this point I knew he wouldn't think to find me there.

The streets were crammed full of traffic. People were in a rush. So getting to the library took forever since it was a forty-five minute walk from the school. But it took longer do to waiting at several cross walks. It didn't help that its around thirty degrees outside. This is the warmest it has been in many days. Though I wore warm enough clothes it was still quite cold. Especially when standing still for too long will cause one to freeze. 

All the while I felt as though I was being followed. It would have been just me being paranoid. With you know who is looking to ring my neck. And yet this feeling... the feeling that I am having is different. The feeling made the hair on the back of my stand on end. Once in a while I would take a look around hoping to catch a glimpse to what would be causing it. But I saw nothing. Just people trying to hurry off off to the next warm building, even if its not the one they were planning on going into at the moment. I tired to brush off the odd feeling but it crept right back up. That was when I knew I had to do something about it. I started to run. 

((*sorry for the rush job on this first reply, I didn't want to make too long or too short also I have a head cold so my thinking process isn't all that perfect either.... anyways I hope that you like!!*))
