"Won't you come in" Alex asked Eli
Ring, ring, Eli's phone rang,it's his mom
",No,I need to go right now, I'm sure my mom is worried, I'll see you in school tomorrow" Eli said with his hands waving good bye to Alex,"bye" with a faint smile on his face Alex said and in a few second he went in and shut the door.
****(LUNA's POV)
"First time seeing my brother with a friend,guess he finally stopped being a loner. And why did that guy stretched out his hand? He looked so stupid with what he did,guess Alex didn't tell him I'm not a fan of people,well whatever,he literally embarrassed himself that's why he couldn't come inside the house and left, anyways gotta do my homework 'cause I don't want to get flogged like other kids in school" she ends her thoughts and starts her homework.
****(ALEX's POV)
"I can't actually blame her for what she did, people aren't to be trusted but on second thoughts she should have pretended to like him and shake his hand and wash it off later,also why was Eli looking at my sister with that eyes, "does he likes her?" "No,he can't,he can't literally like someone he just met" thinking about Alex he suddenly remembered the cookies Mrs Tanner gave him,he reached out for his bag and brought out the cookies,he opened the transparent container and brought out a cookie,putting it in his mouth,he chewed it and swallowed it " hmm, sweet" he mumbled, "Luna, should like this" he mumbled again, heading out of his room to Luna's room....
Knock,knock
"Bro, just come in" she said
Alex reached out for the doorknob and opened the door "Sissy,I was wondering if you would like to have some cookies" He said.
"First,where did you get the cookies" Luna asked
"Well, Eli's mom gave it to me" Alex said
"Wait,you went to his house?"Luna asked with a very surprised expression
"Yes...."Alex said
" I'm not interested in the cookies but now am more interested in how you suddenly have a friend and how you've suddenly started going to his house" Luna said with some kind of look literally staring at Alex, Alex could easily know she needed an explanation about all this
"I'll tell you,but first we're sharing this cookie" Alex said
"Fine,I'll come for those explanation of yours after I finish my homework and keep the cookies with you,I'll eat it when I come for your explanations". "Also when is mom coming home?" Luna asked.
"I've called her already,she said she'll be back soon" Alex replied..
"Whatever" Luna said,
"Can you go now, I'm quite busy" Luna said,Alex always knowing his sister needed some space left and shut the door
*****
It's night time,every body in their houses,lights on in the neighborhood,some people are literally asleep,a boy could be seen in a room holding a phone and sitting on a couch.
"Hmm,she's cute" Eli said to himself
"But why on earth didn't she shake my hand back,guess she really doesn't like people except for his brother,she talked really well to her brother" he said,"wait,do I like her?" He asked himself, "there's no way am liking her, literally just met her" he nods his head while still thinking "but then again she's really cute and pretty" he said
"I'll ask more about Alex and his sister tomorrow " he said
Suddenly he slept through his thoughts
*****
Every one asleep in the neighborhood, except for one,step,step,step
Eli heard the foot steps and suddenly woke up,it was as if the steps were actually ringing in his head.
"What,what is going on" he asked himself
He stood up from the couch, looking around taking his steps slowly and finally saw nothing,he was about to go sit down not until his eyes got caught up on something outside the house.
He looked at the window and saw someone walking down the road.
"Huh,who could be walking down the road by this time?" He asked himself, turning his head to look at the clock hung on the wall at his right,the time reads exactly 12:00 am.
"What,why his he dressed that way?", "Is he an assassin?" He asked himself
The figure looks like that of a manly figure, wearing a black coat,black boots,and his face covered in a black clothing, everything he's wearing are all black.
Suddenly,the man looked up and made eye contact with Eli, Eli's soul left his body immediately before getting back to his senses, immediately he bent down and was shocked as well.
"What the hell was that?" He mumbled.
He didn't dare peep anymore,he instantly pul down the curtain at his window side, switched on the lights and held his phone firmly just incase something happens.
"Damn, can't believe am this scared"he mumbled
"But,what the hell was that all about?" He asked,he was so confused and finally slept through his thoughts holding his pillow tightly.
*****(The following morning)
"No" "why" "what did I do to deserve this?"
Eli woke up hearing this words,"what the hell is this all about" "why must you people scream early in the morning?"
He asked,not know what is happening
Knock,knock,the door swung open
"Good morning,honey" a sweet voice said
"Good morning mom". Eli said
"How was your night honey?" Eli's mom said
"Fine" Eli said
"Huh,mom,what's with all this screaming early in the morning?" Eli asked
"It's so sad" Eli's mom said
"What's so sad?" Eli asked
