Mom! You didn't figure out on how the street lights would be fixed. "Raina asked"
I'm sorry honey,It totally skipped my memory. " mom said"
( raina walked back to her room and left the door open because she was kinda creeping out)
Guess I'll just work on my home work and go to bed.
(Raina sat on her bed tryna work on something, she felt someone standing behind her. She immediately turned but there was no one,she just had to close her windows.
Before she had a turn,she saw someone leave her room.
Mom!
Mom!
(Mrs Terry answered from the living room)
Stop it"raina yelled"
Sorry sweetheart, I can't help it " mom screamed from the living room"
I knew she would be the one behind this (raina smiled and became calm)
Raina sat back on her bed,tryna concentrate, voices started echoing in her head with "stop all you do,you can't be smarter than I am.
I'm watching all your moves,I'll keep watching.
The voices kept repeating same thing,over and over again.
Raina held her ears and head like they were gonna slide off,few minutes later,the voices stopped and she wanted completing her work when she saw "I'LL KEEP WATCHING YOU boldly written in her book,she screamed and closed her book,packed them all in her bag,raised her head up and her door shut without her laying a hand on it.
She ran towards the door,tried to open it but it couldn't, she saw the door lock on it's own,she started screaming and banging the door,yelling MOM MOM MUMMY
Finally mom opened from outside.
What is it baby "mom asked surprisingly"
Raina held her mom
What's going on sweedie? "Mom asked"
Nothing mom,I just feel so sick.
O... kay, so you'll be home tomorrow,is that it? "Mom asked"
Yes yes I will and wilson too. "Raina"
But your brother didn't say.....( Interrupted raina)
He didn't....yes he did,he told me. He did "Raina replied"

Yes he did
But he didn't tell me. "Mom screamed out at Wilson"
Wilson!
Yes Mom "wilson replied from the living room because mom was really loud"
Any problem at school?" Mom asked
No mom
Missing school tomorrow? " Mom asked"
No mom
( Mom gave raina an akward look)
Where did you learn that from? "Asked raina while on her way down stairs.
Learn what mom? "Raina asked Mom back"
( Mom turned around)
How to lie to my face.
That,we do that all the time. " Raina said"
Really, why haven't I noticed it? ( Mom kept moving)
That's because you also tell a lie. "Raina
( Mom staired at raina,shoke her head and said nothing)
Okay ( kept sticking to mom where ever she goes) I'm sorry but
But what? ( Now upset) you lied about school,your brother then to my face. And concluding,you do that all the time. Is that a trust that I should earn from you or.......(mom paused for 5secs before speaking again) just go to your room and get prepared for school earlier than ever,if you don't want me getting mad at you.
Urrrrrrrh I hate this family. (Yelled raina, ran back to her room and banged the door after her)
Thank you( mom yelled back)
Any damages will be from your allowance.
Whatever (Raina screamed from her room)
What's wrong with your sister? (Mom asked wilson)
Possessed I guess.
( Wilson spoke then kept shut)
(Mom looked at Wilson then smiled)
In you go
Thanks Mom " Wilson said"
Good night
Night baby
I love you "mom said"
I love you too Mom
"Wilson walked straight to his room"
( Mom sat worried about Raina's attitude of recent)
*The next day,Mrs Terry dropped them off at school.
What are you looking at? You creepy wooden doll " Raina spoke to Clara"
"Clara was quiet and looked the other way"
(Raina looked at her friends and said to Debbie)
Isn't that disrespect?
It sure is " Debbie concluded"
Hey,rude b***h "Raina yelled at Clara" ( Clara turned and said nothing)
Wait,now you're dumb? "Debbie
I just don't want trouble okay,I just wanted us to be friends raina and that's it,no hitting on each other. "Clara spoke"
So now you talk when am talking. ( Raina rushed towards Clara and shaded her to the mud close to her)
( Raina's friends laughed,they all left,leaving clara in the mud)
That's where you should stay,you belong there. " Raina said and walked away"
( Clara said nothing,a tear dropped but all she did was wipe out a little of what she could. Stood up and walked home)
(After school, they walked back home because mom didn't pick them up)
You let us walk back home. " Raina yelled at mom
Well,not after your teacher called earlier and told me you bullied a student of your age today. "Mom said"
Is that why you abandoned us just like that? "Raina yelled"
Raina! Walk back to where you can see my face before.....( Before mom could finish her words,Raina walked back)
Good,show me some respect,am not one of those your student you bully around and I didn't teach you that. You have to stop.
But........(mom interrupted raina)
No buts
Now,which student?
" Mom asked"
Raina whispered
I can't hear you " mom said out loud"
Clara "raina spoke out loud"
You mean the new kid who just moved in? " Mom wanted to be sure"
Yes
Clara benneth
I guess that's what she's called. " Raina replied"
How could you baby?
What the f**k are you turning into?
Language mom " raina said"
You,shut up
I'm authorized to use any language or word,you know why?
Because this is my house and you do what I say.
Okay
Noted " raina replied"
Alright,am sorry for that but right now I need you to go to your room and don't step out until I tell you to. " Mom
Am I being grounded now? " Raina asked"
Partially " mom said"
Am I too? " Wilson asked"
No you're not,just go to your room for a while,till am back
Where are you going to? " Wilson asked Mom"
Clara's " mom replied and left.
( The first door bell rang)
Sorry am looking for Clara benneth?
The new kid and her family who just moved in a week ago or something.( Mrs Terry asked the first woman who came out but the woman said she wasn't the one)
Meanwhile Raina watched her mom from her room.
The second and third door bell rang and they also said there was no empty house they know around neither did a new family moved in.
Now mrs Terry became confused,she only had the last building to check in.
What's wrong with mom,thought she only had to get into one of the buildings,see Clara and her family, apologize on my behalf so why so many buildings did she had to explain herself too. " Raina watched from her room still"
The last door bell rang but no one came out,the door opened so I walked in.
Hello!
Hello Mrs benneth!
(The house was empty and dusty,that means no one moved in)
Did I get confused of where clara described? ( Mrs Terry asked herself)
The house still echoes.( Heard a little whisper under a blanket covered in the kitchen,Terry was scared but had to take a look)
Clara! "She called out,took out the blanket in 5,4,3,2,1. Something ran out then Mrs Terry screamed out loud but it was only a rat then my mind walked back in.
Mrs Terry turned around and screamed because she saw someone.
Chill mom, it's me "Raina said"
Thought I told you to stay in your room till I give instructions to come out. " Mom spoke back while holding her heart"
I'm sorry,I've been watching you
Yes,I noticed
I saw you. " Mom
This is the only house you entered and not just that,the door wasn't shut and you took a while so I had to come over to be sure you're okay. "Raina said"
(Mom looked at raina,drew her close to herself) where's your brother?
Fast asleep " Raina replied"
This is strange, isn't it? "Mom asked
What's strange? " Raina asked back because she didn't get the memo
Clara said she lives next to us with her family right. " Mom
Yeah I think so " raina replied
I know so
Because I wasn't lost when she told me that. But no one seems to know her or have seen a new tenant moving in. " Mom said
Yea,I get the joke. " Raina said
This isn't one Raina
Let's just go home. Maybe I got it all wrong.
(Mom took Raina back home,Raina looked from her window and said nothing)
