I admit I felt nice when Kayler said he was going to take care of me, in other circumstances I would have been grateful. This boy has a girlfriend and he keeps telling me that he will always take care of me, I don't understand. Besides, I don't know him well, it's the first time we've talked to each other, only our gazes have met but I can't keep it in his eyes for long because his eyes are so deep, so ... Imnotizing. One look from him and I feel like I've known him for years, I feel, like he said ... protected.
His car stopped in front of my house, we were silent for a long time.
"Well... bye" I unbuckled my belt and opened the door. Should I thank him for bringing me? In the end, he was the one who forced me into his car. But, stop, I'm not rude. I opened my mouth to say something but he beat me to it.
"A thanks for bringing me would be a nice offer."
"I was going to say it." I admitted. I gave him a closed mouth smile and closed the door. As I walked to my front door, I heard Kayler's car engine die. I turned to see him. He got out of his car and walked over to me with his hands tucked into his front pockets.
"Where are you going? I asked, frowning. I have not invited him to my house. He stepped in front of me with a mocking smile I'd like to snap off.
"I'll accompany you ..." he crossed his arms. "I would be jumping with emotion. Do you know how many girls kill for one look from me?" He said arrogante "Give thanks, Carolina, give thanks" He walked to the door and opened it, entering like Pedro through his house.
"But I'm not those girls, you idiot!" I snapped, walking behind him. I found him looking at everything in my new house. I put my backpack on the sofa and stood idly watching him. He stopped in front of the pictures Mom hung up yesterday. He frowned as if remembering something. What is the irritating idiot thinking. I ran my gaze from head to toe, the stupid man looks much more handsome in profile. Yes that is good. Too bad he's a moron, womanizer.
"Who is he?" He asked suddenly.
I shook my head and walked over to him. I was looking at a photo of me when I was little, I was smiling and the sparkle in my eyes only meant one thing total happiness. There was mom and dad. And knowing that that was the last photo we took before he died.
Sadness invades me, a lump in my throat prevents me from speaking. But I took a deep breath and did it. "It was my dad."
Kayler looked at me and, noticing that I was being strong, put his arms around me and gave me a warm hug. Do not reject it. I just got carried away. I felt his perfume, it was a soothing smell, it made me feel so good. His hand rubbed my shoulder from top to bottom. Suddenly I felt calm, I closed my eyes enjoying the moment. But, stop, what's up. I'm letting my enemy's boyfriend hug me. I pulled away from Kayler quickly and cleared my throat. He was taken aback but then returned to his normal composure.
"I think I go away." He said walking towards the exit.
"Sure ..." I whispered under my breath. Something inside of me didn't want it to go away. I heard the door close so I flopped onto the couch. Breathe deeply. Suddenly the noise of a car driving away warned me that I was alone, maybe I will go back to school, there are still hours until classes end, I don't even know what I'm going to say to Mom, what did they suspend me the first day? It's to give her a heart attack. My belly roars asking me for food so I didn't even have time to eat at school.
The truth is I don't know what happened to me today, I had never fought with anyone before, at that moment I felt imposing, with strength, but Paige was more so, it is not normal for a plastic girl like her to be ... Strong, she could almost to say that we had the same strength, I do not consider myself weak but Oh, God! There were times when I thought he would beat me, but she didn't.
Something inside me woke up and it was when I squeezed her neck very hard —I think there will be marks— But it was something strange. Since I came to this town strange things happen. I went to the kitchen and made myself a sandwich, opened the fridge and took out a glass of milk, I had left it in the morning, because of my nerves I didn't have a good breakfast. Kayler. Why do I have to think about him? I have to get away from him, guys like that all they bring is problems and I don't want to have any.
I do not know what will happen tomorrow with Paige, it is obvious that she will see, what's more, right now she must be planning it. But she won't come alone, no, something tells me that I have to take care of her and her little group.

Night fell and Mom had not yet come, nor will she come. She sent a message saying that she would be late and not to wait up for her. I turned on all the lights in the house, somehow I felt more protected, but not entirely. Everything would be different if this house had a fence or something around it so that no animals could cross.
I was in my room reading Pride and Prejudice who had been recommended to me by a former classmate from my former high school, everything was silent, a silence that was scary. I couldn't concentrate, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. I felt something inside me, an anguish, a ... Fear.
Two knocks on the front door made me jump. Who will it be at this time? It's after nine. I put the book on the bed and went downstairs too cautiously. Another two blows were heard, I was scared again.
"Who?" I asked something loud, my voice felt fragile. No one answered. I went to the door and took the knob, turned it slowly, and opened it. There was no one outside. I went out into the corridor to make sure, but there was no one. Suddenly I heard footsteps on the side of the house, as if someone had run past and rustled the leaves. There I did get more scared.
I went down the two steps carefully and walked slowly feeling some pointy stones prick my feet. Silly, I should have put on shoes. When I got to the left side of the house I realized that there was no one there either. Are they playing a joke on me? Well, if so, it is in very bad taste. I returned to the front of the house but before entering the big full moon caught my attention. It's reflection shone in the lake water. It was ... magical. I walked to the small pier, forgot that maybe a murderer was hanging around my house and just stood there, watching it.
I looked across the lake at Kayler's house, I know he lived there, some lights were on. There wasn't much movement. Suddenly I heard footsteps to my left and to my left there was only forest. It was dark. Then I watched someone go by very fast and hide behind from a tree, supposedly so he wouldn't look at it. Is a person. And it looks like she's playing ... Or so I hope. I walked with a determined step towards where it seems to be. Who can walk in the forest barefoot? Only me.
I got to the place where she was supposed to be but she is not. Am I going crazy? I was going to turn around to leave but a voice stopped me.
"Help me! She exclaimed. I looked everywhere for that voice. It seemed that it came from deeper in the forest.
"Hi?" I walked, going deeper and deeper into the forest until I reached a flat area. There is nobody here. .. I'm sure I'm imagining things. I sat down on the floor to rest a bit. I was tired, after this I only got to sleep. I massaged my temple and closed my eyes for a few seconds. There was a bit of fog in the forest and it threatened to rain.
Suddenly a growl behind me made me go cold, my body did not react. Another grunt made me turn my face now. I gasped at the sight of the huge wolf in front of me, staring at me and tasting his tongue. I only knew one thing: That it was my end.
