The Man In Black

Chapter 1

Homework. The worst thing about school has got to be homework.  I mean, what's the point? Honestly. I pick up my phone and text my best mate Jake:
(D = Dylan, J = Jake)

D: Hey mate, wassup?
J:  honestly dude, what dyou thnk?
D: idk
J: homework. Duh
D:same here bro.can i cm over?
J: well, my parents are out for the night so i guess u could
D:sick. See you in 10 😊
J: if u survive...
D shut it

   I pick up my bag and pack my homework stuff in. This was going to be the best sleepover ever. I slip out the house and text my mum where I was going. I wouldn't want her to worry about me at all.
    
     After a few minutes, I reach Jake's house. I always enter through the back the door and that was exactly what I did this time. I opened the door and let myself in.

    "Hey bro." Jake yelled down from his room. I raced up the stairs and sat on his bed." Where d'your parents go then?" I asked as he closed his textbook and sat on his desk.
  "Mum's out at her friend's house, Dad's probably sleeping with another slu-"
"-Anyway, let's go down and watch a movie. We have the entire night to do our homework anyways" and we went down to watch the movie.

      It was one hell of a movie. It was so scary. It was about these two brothers who were home alone when some strange things start to happen. One of them gets killed and then the younger brother, James, who was 14, had to try and escape the house. When the police finally came, all they found were just some clown clothes and a note to James saying: 'be careful with what you wish for..' and it ended like that. To calm ourselves down after the movie, we went to Jake's room to finish our homework. It was going really well until we heard a strange, loud knock on his window. We both walked over to our window when all of a sudden, thee was a crash and a massive rock came flying into his room through the window. Startled, we jumped back and grabbed eachother's  arms.

   "My mum's gonna kill me" Jake said as I went to study the rock. Slowly, I picked it up and found that there was a message on a paper stuck onto it and I read it aloud. 

'Be careful with what you wish for. And if you lock  the doors at night. Sometimes you may just forget...'

I instantly remembered that I had forgotten to lock the back door when I arrived. "Shit Jake, I forgot to lock the door downstairs."

"You Idiot! How could you forget something so important!!! Come on, we have to go lock it n-now!" He dragged me to the bottom of the stairs where we saw that the door was still closed. I locked it and hurried to the living room. 

  "Let's do some prank calls to calm us down, shall we?" Jake offered as he took out his phone. First, we pranked a girl in our class called Lucy into thinking that I was dying. Pretty quickly, she caught us and we said goodnight. It was my turn next and I punched in some random numbers into my phone and pressed call. It rung. I could feel sweat trickling down my forehead. I felt extremely uncomfortable. This didn't feel right. At last, someone answered the phone. 

   "I really wish that something like that movie could happen to us. Thatd be sick!" Jake said quietly while I began to speak. But I was beaten to it.

 "I've been expecting your call Dylan. How could you forget to lock the back door? That was such a stupid thing to. Anyone could've broken in." His voice was hoarse and deep which sent chills down my back.

   "How do you know who I am?" I asked, my voice trembling. Jake sat there, fear taking over his face.

  "I've been watching you Dylan, all night long." his voice sounded sinister and blood-curdling. I opened my mouth to say something in return when I heard him say something again. "Time to have some fun Dylan."

                                                                        He hung up.
