I knew I was being watched

The quiet dining room always freaks me out.Knock! It’s the window again.Who keeps doing this?My family is on vacation while they left me at home because I cheated during the end of year test.It’s been one day since they left it’s the second today.This morning I woke up and to my surprise there was a flash faster than a blink of an eye.It always gets me wondering.Is it an animal or is it a human?

When I went to bed last night it looked like a ghost was outside just staring at me.I decided to just ignore it and sleep. The next morning, it happened again, a flash zipping past my eyes. I woke up in a mystery world. While I was making my breakfast, my favourite peanut butter sandwich with a spoon of strawberry jam on the side as a dip, like ketchup. Just as I expected, the exact same knock on the window but it was significantly louder which shook me up.

My family is due to come back tomorrow. I ate my brekky and smacked my lips when I noticed the same thing, I saw when I woke up. Just at a different place. My heart was beating out of my chest. Was it a robber? Was it an animal? I needed a trusted adult to support me. A cold drop of sweat trickled down my face, my vision was blurry and my whole body was shivering.

Someone was definitely spying on me! I needed to ring my parents and tell them about this so I could maybe persuade them to come home earlier.

”No we are not leaving Redfern early!” I guess I just have to live with it. Since it was the school holidays, I entertained myself by playing video games, doing puzzles and going to the park for exercise. Then it was time for dinner. I chomped up dinner and went to bed early. Outside my window I saw those ghostly eyes staring at me. Although my day was spooky I went to bed with a smile on my face mainly because, my parents were coming back in the morning.

I had the best sleep I’ve ever had in an extremely long time. ”Jacob, wake up!” says a familiar voice. It was my mother! I gave her a big hug and went out to have breakfast. Knock! ”What was that!” shouts my dad.I told him the noise has been coming ever since they left. Both my parents went out to check and guess what happened.The boy next door who is the school bully was eavesdropping while I was alone. This time he did not see my father (somehow). My dad confronted him and called his parents. They gave him a punishment.The good news is I will never be left alone at home while the rest are on holiday whatsoever.
