The jiggling of the door handle startled us, and I was mere seconds away from shitting myself. Luckily, I had locked the door and left the key in the keyhole, so it bought us a little time, but not much.
"Zany? You in there? Honey come open the door." he said through the wooden door.
"Shit, he can't see you here!" I whisper yelled to Anthony, who was looking awfully pale. He jumped into fight or flight mode and we started running around in circles like morons.
"Azania?" my dad called again. I couldn't bring myself to answer but it took me a few seconds to wonder if Jackass and I had lost our minds. I pulled his arm with the intention of dragging him to my room, but he stopped me. I turned to look at him with frantic eyes, but his eyes were darting all over the place.
"What?!" I whisper yelled at him.
"I need to get my shoes." He whisper yelled back.
