"Honey, she seems like such a nice girl, you should go!" said mom as she made breakfast. ''Mom! You don't understand! She's so weird and..." I wasn't going to tell her about Samantha and Mr. Gainy, they had already threatened me one too many times. "And what?" "She's just weird," I said. I was way too scared to say a word of the truth. "Your going and that's final!" she said, a bit of a higher tone than before. Mom really wanted me to go over to Samantha's house. She didn't understand, we would be working on more than just our science project. I knew it. "I'm going upstairs to get ready for work. You go and get dressed. Mr. Gainy invited you over and would like you there by 12:00," said mom. She left the room as I trudged up the stairs. I was tired and worried to death. I was probably not even going to make it home alive. I laid down on my bed and got under the covers. It felt so warm and cozy. I didn't want to get up. I was feeling sick to my stomach as I fell into a restless sleep. http://ficlets.com/feed/story/30516
