My alarm clock rang at 7:30am, causing me to jump out of bed and fall to the floor; sometimes I scare easily. I turned off my alarm and headed into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I do my normal routine and get dressed in black capri leggings, an Adidas crop top putting my hair up in a ponytail. I don't use makeup because I'm going to the gym. I go to the gym every morning to keep my body in shape because of work.

After I am dressed, I grab my gym bag, a water bottle, my keys and put my Adidas sneakers on and head out the door. The best part of the day is not being at work.
As I walk through the woods I feel a chill so I put my coat on. I put my headphones on and put my playlist on shuffle. The first song that pops up is a song by Ed Sheeran.
After walking for what seemed like hours, I make my way to the gym. As soon as I enter the gym, I head straight for the punching bags after I say 'hi' to all the regulars. I am bandaging my hands up when I notice someone walk in; a boy maybe my age a little older maybe. He has chocolate brown hair, brown eyes, a scar on his cheek and a lazy eye. When he looks my way I go back to what I was doing.
I have been at the gym for two hours and I noticed that boy can't stop staring at me, which is kind of creepy. As I head to the locker room, I suddenly bump into someone and fall flat on my ass.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry! Are you okay!?" I hear as I am being helped up by an outstretched hand to me. I look up to see the boy that couldn't stop staring.
"I'm fine it's no big deal. You wouldn't believe how often that happens to me. Anyway it was my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going."
"Well, I'm sorry again!" He just kept staring at me.
"Well bye!" I suddenly walk fast into the locker room to change.
'Who was that guy? How come I have never seen him around before? ' All these questions continue to race through my mind as I exit the gym. I should have gotten his name. I thought that over and over as I made my way around town doing my shopping.
Once I was home I changed into some comfortable leggings and a long-sleeved hoodie and kept my hair in a ponytail and left for my special spot.

After visiting my parent's graves and leaving the flowers I got in town; I went over to the river by the graves. Turning on my speaker I danced to whatever song came on. Work from Home by Fifth Harmony was blasting and I had not a care in the world. Once the song ended, I heard rustling in the bushes. I looked over and saw the same golden eyes I saw yesterday staring at me. I quickly grabbed my stuff and ran for my life.
