I got to jeremy's house and knocked on the door. He opened it a few seconds later, but he looked flustered—half-distracted, like he was in the middle of five different things at once. I could hear movement inside,stuff clattering,maybe a shower running upstairs
"Hey," I said, " I need to talk to you about what happened yesterday."
He nodded quickly, already backing up into the hallway.
"Yeah, yeah—just give me a sec, alright? I need to take a shower. Make yourself at home.
And with that, he was off, darting up the stairs like he was racing a clock.
Jeremy did tell me," Make yourself at home." Walking around in the house—and for the first time I noticed jeremy's shelf of anime comics and action figures in their sitting room.
I opened some comic books on the shelf,reading through them and, I have to admit it was really cool. To those of you that don't watch anime or read the comics, y'all missing a lot.
Jeremy stepped out wearing a crisp white button-down, black chinos, and sleek leather loafers—like he'd just walked out of a GQ shoot but was still somehow 100% jeremy.
He stroke a pose. "So," he said with a cocky grin, " what did you want to tell me again?"
He was clearly fishing for a reaction, practically radiating tell me I look good energy.
"Wow, dude, you look occasionally dressed," I said, giving him the once-over. "But seriously…what's with the outfit?"
"Am meant to meet up with stephany's dad to ask for his permission to marry stephany," jeremy said with a grin on his face.
"Are you even old enough to get married," I said.
"Of course not dude, am gonna pick stephany up so…I want for when her dad sees me, he thinks am responsible," jeremy said.
Funny thing about all of this was that I didn't even have time to ask bianca to the dance, I thought to my self…maybe she would come alone then we could hit things of.
"You said you wanted to tell me something earlier," jeremy said.
"Oh, yeah sorry, something happened yesterday night, something scary," I said, even though it happened yesterday, just thinking about it made my face tighten with fear. Like my body hadn't gotten over the memo that it was over
"More scarier than INSIDIOUS," he said, shivers went down his body like it was yesterday.
"Yeah, I think INSIDIOUS was just a movie so… yeah it's scarier than that,I think you might want to sit for this."
I didn't want jeremy to think that i was crazy cause if you were to tell someone what you saw—your crazy for sure. Nobody really believe in all those stuff but i was still gonna tell jeremy anyway
I leaned closer,dropped my voice to a whisper, and said, "last night, when I went to the malls parking lot to take your car, I saw someone or something and i felt something and a voice spoke to me and it told me that i have a book and it's going to get it."
Jeremy froze for sometime and he looked at me like I'd I just told him I speak fluent squirrel.
"Are you on drugs," Jeremy said.
"What, no am not , why would you say that," I said.
"Or do you want me feel bad about the mall cause I do feel bad already dude," he said.
"Dude am serious, am not trying to make you feel bad or anything and I am surely not on drugs," I said.
I knew what i had told Jeremy were words of a crazy person or someone who was hallucinating, but I wasn't any of those. I just needed him to believe me.
"Fine, let's assume what you said was true and you have a book, and some dude wants to take it from you, what are you saying here," he said with his voice filled with curiosity for the question.
Honestly, I didn't know what I was saying or understand any of the things that happened, but two things are sure, either am crazy and I need help or the supernaturals are real and i just witnessed the feeling of the presence of one.
"Am trying to say that… I think i just witnessed the presence of a supernatural being," I said.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you believe in all those shit now, the supernatural are not real and you didn't witness anything," Jeremy said with a convincing tone.
Before I could say another word Jeremy cut me off and said,"Am gonna go upstairs and am gonna take off my clothes and keep it well and then we're gonna go pick up stephany and bianca and get loose a little before prom."
Without any waste of time Jeremy dashed up the stairs
I stood there in the sitting room trying to think of a way to make Jeremy believe me.All I needed was for Jeremy to believe me.
