I woke up at 9 AM.
Finally it's summer break.
I have been waiting for this.
I go to my closet and grab the handle. When I open it up I see a red balloon inside.

What.
The.
Fuck?!

I grab it and throw it away.
Then I grab a simple but comfortable outfit.

I fixed my hair into a messy ponytail and looked into the mirror.
I almost got a heart attack when I saw my reflection.
I saw a really old lady.
Me.
It was me.
And old version of me.
It was me if I was old.
What is going on?
Why am I old..?!
I don't wanna grow up!
I'll lose all my fun..
Suddenly my skin started falling off. All of it.
After a few seconds it was
all pealed off and I was a skeleton with blood stains on my bones.
Well adleast that what I saw in the reflection.
Everything went quiet.
I was just staring at my reflection.
....
I started panicking.
What do I do?!
I almost started crying when it jumped out the mirror and right at me.
I screamed and ran back a few steps.
I looked down at it and started hyperventilating.
It looked up at me for a second and then started crawling towards me really fast.
I backed up as fast as I could.
The door hit my back.
I quickly opened the door and ran out.
I screamed for my mum and dad and ran down the stairs really fast.
When I got to the kitchen where my mum is making breakfast she looked at me concerned and confused.
I looked around and saw that it wasn't there anymore.
I realised I've been crying and I start looking around.
Evie: ,,I- but! There...The skin peeled-It jumped a-...at me and... I...The stairs...my mirror- it had bones-!My rOom-!"
I started explaining but my mum just came over and hugged me.
Mum: ,,I'm sure it was nothing. Dad will be up soon. I have to go now. I'm working at summer break because we need the money. I'll be back late. Stay safe sweetie."
And without another word she put her coat on and left the house.
I was still very confused.
I slowly walked up the stairs and looked in my bedroom.
I carefully walked up to my door and pushed it a little more open.
I walked in and went to the mirror.
I saw my normal 13 year old self again.
I let out the breath I didn't realise I was holding.
I wiped my tears and sat down to my desk.
