5. I kill Cereal not people.

"Have I ever told you your eyes are to die for?" gushes Sky in a high pitched voice trying to imitate a crazy fan girl.

"You mean my eyes could kill people with shock?" I raised an eyebrow throwing my head back to laugh. I liked my reputation in school for one thing. No one judged me for anything and the normal gossiping only happens between Kris's circle which I'm sure Sky is part of but that's really not my business if I'm being honest with myself.

"You know I always wondered who your parents were because of your conflicting eye colors" he sighed as he placed his chin in his arms still in the fan girl act.

"My parents" I mumbled trying to conjure up any image of them but it's always a failed attempt seeing that I was too young when they passed. "They went to the sky before I could really meet them" I smiled sadly while looking at my legs.

"Oh" Sky said as an awkward silence descended upon our table while I play 'I spy' myself. "I'm sorry,  I shouldn't have brought that up".

"It's fine,  I never really knew them" I said while trying to push past the lump in my throat.

"I better go now" I heard him stand and head to the popular table. That's where the action happens by that's also where all they care about is fame.

"Calm down okay?" I laughed as Goldenmorn continues running around me in tight circles making me a little dizzy.

She has been restless all week because we haven't visited the park and I guess she's getting bored. I remember I might have seen a male Golden Retriever so I'm guessing they have a thing that's if dogs can have relationships.

She runs out of my room and starts rummaging in my closet. No doubt looking for her leash.

This girl is persistent. She comes back with the treasure in her mouth and drops it on the floor at my feet and sits giving me doggy sad eyes.

"You know,  sometimes you're too sweet but I guess your aren't Goldenmorn for nothing" I say as I stood up from my bed which she had jumped on me earlier and attached the leach to her collar.

"Manny, I'm taking Goldenmorn to the park I'll be back before dinner,  I think Golden's gotten a boyfriend there. Lucky" I say the last two parts to my myself. "I'll call if I'm going to come back later okay?".

"Okay Rowa, see you then!" Came her voice from somewhere upstairs but I don't know.

I closed the door and let Golden drag me anywhere. Well not anywhere but to the park. She knows the way. People of different sizes and shapes passed me and my wandering dog on the way. The sun is no longer harsh,  just preparing for the night shift with the moon. Shades of orange,  blue,  purple full the sky as the slight breeze makes my hair move.

"We're here" I say mostly to myself as Golden turns to me probably wondering why I haven't released her yet.

"Fine" I rolled my eyes and crouched to release her. Moms sat on one bench while their children ran,  screamed and played in the sand with some on the play equipment.

I sat on the empty seat which was opposite the parents but they couldn't see me which I'm glad for because I wouldn't want them to also keep an eye on me whatsoever.

I felt my phone buzz with a message. Probably from Val. I typed in my password and saw an unknown number. Strange. I never gave my phone number to anyone else besides Manny, Desmond, Val and a few other bunch of important people like the plumber,  gardener etcetera.

                                            Unknown

                                   Hi, beautiful :)

Who is this creep?. I racked my memory for any instances of me giving any other person my number and came out with nothing. Whoever this was,  sure had guts. I'm just going to have some fun with this then probably delete this creep.

Me.

Hey creep:) How on earth

did you even get this number?.

I hit send and waited. Goldenmorn has found her boyfriend and they are just sitting there. Strange. Something is definitely up but I'm not getting in her business. Sure,  she's my dog but I'm not a nosy owner so I'm just going to watch. When things get out of hands I'll interrupt. I felt the slight vibration from my pocket.

                                           Unknown.

  That's not important right now;)

Me.

Really?.

Who are you?.

                                          Unknown.

                          I love the dress you

                           wore today  BTW:)

                   

Wait what?. This creep attends the same school as me? And he/she/creep seems to know what I  wore to school today?.

Me.

How do I know you aren't a serial killer?

                                           Unknown.

                            I'm a Cereal killer

                             not a serial killer.

Me.

And what's the difference?.

                                           Unknown.

                 I kill Cereal not people:)

Me.

Wow. You are so mature.😒.

                                           Unknown.

                         Only for you babe;)

Me.

I am so blocking you right now.

                                           Unknown.

                                                  Why?

Me.

Because you're a creep and could be a four year old for all I care.

Me.

Never every call me sweetheart again:(.

Me.

How do you even know my name?

Me.

You have got to be kidding me.

Me.

Is this your idea of flirting?

Me.

It's official.

Me.

Ew. Stop. There is no 'us' here -_-

Me.

You are definitely crazy-_-

Don't ever text me again!!

Me.

So?

Me.

You don't even know if I'm at home or not-_-

Me.

Stop what?.

                                           Unknown.

Me.

You mean this emoji?

-_-

-_-

-_-

-_-

Me.

-_-

Me.

What's official.

Me.

There will never be a 'we' ever!

Me.

Why can't you find someone else to prank?

Me.

I am in no mood for this right now.

Me.

Not like I want to continue talking with you creep but what.

Me.

I'll try but I won't make any promises.

Me

-_-

Stuffing my phone in my pocket, I saw that it was really late. The sky was now a little dark like when it's almost night but not quiet it yet.

"Golden!!" I cupped my hands over my mouth in hopes of making my voice louder. She barked in a way I'm translating as 'I'm coming jeez' but I don't speak dog.

"I wonder who that unknown person is. Obviously a guy but who?" I say out loud to Goldenmorn but I'm sure she doesn't understand. He definitely attends my school but that's about all I know. The rest is a mystery.

"I'm home!" I yelled when I opened the door and released Goldenmorn who bounded to the kitchen probably to get her dinner.

"How was the park?" Manny asked from the kitchen. I'm too lazy to stand so I just reply from my spot on the plushy couch.

"It was the way parks are" I said back.

"Okay" she sounded unsure."so,  you meet any cute guys?" I imagined her wriggling her eyebrows. You'd expect my only guardian to be protective of me but no,  she just has to wish I paired up.

"Manny" I used my whiny voice.

"What?" She feigned innocence.

"I'm going to bed if the only thing you're going to ask me about is boys" I said dragging myself off the comfortable couch and making my ways up the grand winding staircase.

After managing to drag my lazy self all the way up the stairs, I entered my room and sat on my bed, staring up at the patterns in the ceiling. Whoever my parents were,  they sure did rake it in and were living comfortably. Too bad they had to go before I could even stand on my legs.

After brushing my teeth and taking a shower, I sat on one of the chairs which was in the balcony connected to my room. Any other person would have been scared to sit here at night but I'm pretty much used to this.

Fishing out my phone,  I logged in and went straight to the group chat I created for me and Val and maybe other people but I'm the only admin.

I exited the group and checked the time 7:35pm. Not bad I still have a little more time to chat some more and them sleep because I definitely don't want to repeat this morning's events again. I logged back in.

Talkercrush.

Thanks. Now for some real fun😈.

Logging off,  I placed my phone beside my alarm clock and snuggled into the sheets thinking of all the things that just happened within  the last few hours.
