It's Kind of a habit • n.p - Discontinued

Stalker - 4

Oomph. Why do I always wake up like this, I smacked my alarm clock and rolled over.

I reached for my phone and looked at the time it was 6:32.

I knew that my bed was probably my favorite thing in the world but I was hungry

I sat up and eventually stumbled out of bed.

I walked into the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror.

Am I really this monster in front of me?

I rubbed my tired eyes then brushed my teeth and washed my face.

That's a bit better.

I brushed my hair then looked in my wardrobe.

I pulled out some black jeans that were ripped slightly at the knees. I pulled out a grey, baggy t-shirt and tucked it into my jeans because it was too big for me.

I pulled out a denim jacket and my black Nike trainers.

After I got changed I ran
downstairs, towards the fridge.

How can someone go out everyday but not for groceries.

I stared in shock and groaned, seeing that there was only a half-full milk carton and a tub of ready made pasta.
As I walked to the front door there was a note on the table.

Mom had probably gone to dads movie set again.

I sighed and unlocked the door.

As I stepped out I could feel the warmth surround me. I had only been in America for a year and a bit but I had kind of gotten used to the weather. Even though it was only January it was still warm.

I stepped out onto my drive and looked around, wondering what direction to follow.

I found a Starbucks close by and got a coffee and a cheese sandwich.

I pulled out my phone and pulled out my messages.

Mum-Ill be back by the time you get home x.

I sighed and texted her back.

Brooke-Okie

I finished my sandwich and walked back home.

I sat down in the main room and watched Spongebob for 45 mins.

Waffles loved her.

At 8:32 I picked up my grey backpack and walked outside locking the door behind me.

I saw Nate walking down his drive on his way to school.

I ran up to him and jumped next to him scaring the life out of him.

"Heyo." I laughed.

"Never do that again." he cursed under his breath.

"Hmm, I don't know it was kind of funny. " I smiled.

"Yeh well I'll get you back," he rolled his eyes at me.

"Anyways, you are actually coming to school on time. "

"Yeh well I was bored and I saw you walking so... "

"So, you are stalking me now. " He laughed.

I punched him in the shoulder causing him to trip up slightly.

The walk took 10 minutes and it was a bit quiet apart from me making jokes.

We approached the school gate where drew was waiting on a bench outside.

He saw us and jumped up.

"Oh hey Brooke. " He smiled at me.

"Hey" I smiled and sat on the bench.

"Hey do you have any food" I smiled remember I had no breakfast.

"Err, I have an apple." He looked at me confused.

"Ugh, Yeh do you have any food."

Drew just rolled his eyes.

"Lucky me, she's my new next door neighbour. "

I pulled a piece of paper from my bag. I scrunched it up and threw it in his face.

He scrunched up his nose "Hey!"

Drew who had now sat back down started laughing.

It was now 8 and we heard the bell ring.

We all got up in unison.

"So what do u have now." Drew asked me walking beside me.

"Ugh." I pulled out my schedule.

"I have pe." I sighed, I was good at some sports but every pe teacher I have ever had hated my guts.

"Okay I'll see you at lunch I guess. " Nate said and they both trailed infront of me.

"Ugh, guys where's the gym? " I called out sheepishly.

"It's too your left. " Nate and Drew called out without turning around.

Wow.

I looked to my left seeing a sign that read gymnasium.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So today we are playing basketball." There was a very mixed reaction.

"So today. " The pe teacher shouted grabbing everyones attention. "I will split you into four teams."

"Are you Any good?" I said to Leah who was standing beside me.

The teacher was sorting out a little group of people further ahead.

"Ha. Well duh. I'm amazing." She flicked her hair off her shoulder jokingly.

The teacher called mine and Leah's name out together.

"Yes" We both said at the same time.

We joined the rest of the team and it turned out that we head good players.

The teacher got me to be captain so she can see what level I was playing at.

We all had a group huddle where's everyone introduced each other.

We all split up into spaces and I took my place in the center.

A blonde haired girl glared at me as she took her space opposite me.

"Be careful new girl" she spat to try and warn me off.

"Heh, It's basketball I'll try not to be." I fake smiled at her which got her a bit mad.

"Ready.." I waited for the teacher to shout start. There was another game going on at the bottom of the gym where everyone was getting ready.

"START!" She shouted blowing her whistle.
