reading list for next year to get a head start,” Katie replied.
    Frustrated that Katie is going to such lengths to not talk to her about what is going on, her mom said “that’s fine honey. Just let me know if you change your mind.”
    “Okay mom. I am going to go to sleep now, I am really tired. Good night and I will see you in the morning,” Katie said as she lay back down, and pulled the covers up to her neck.
    As her mom left the room, she said “I love you,” and closed her door; Katie started thinking about the day. She just could not shake the feeling of having someone following her all day. That was just something that she had never felt, and it made her somewhat uncomfortable. She would have to pay attention tomorrow and see if she could figure out who may be following her, and why.
    She couldn’t fall asleep immediately because she could not stop thinking about her day. She rolled over and grabbed her IPOD off the nightstand and put the ear plugs in her ears. She turned it on and listened to it until she drifted off to sleep.
    Katie drifted into a deep sleep, but along with it came a dream that felt so real. She was walking to the park like a normal day, but she kept feeling like she had someone there walking beside her. She looked over and there was Jackson. He grabbed her hand and they walked quietly to the swing. She sat down and he kept pushing her higher and higher. When she was tired of the swing she went and sat on the benches and Jackson sat next to her. She couldn’t seem to stop looking at him. When she looked at him he smiled a big smile with his straight teeth. She always did love his smile. The dimples that everyone loved were so prominent. She wanted to speak to him, but something was stopping her from being able to. She grabbed his arm and pulled him in for a hug, but there wasn’t anyone there to hug as she got him close to her. She looked around to see if she could find him, but he was nowhere to be found.
    Katie woke up straight out of a dead sleep and she was sweating, something she has never done before. She rolled over and put her IPOD on the nightstand. “That was a weird dream to have”, she thought.  She closed her eyes, since it was only 1130 pm, and hoped to sleep the rest of the night without waking up.
    Katie woke when the sunlight drifted in through her curtains. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and threw back the covers. She got up and went to the bathroom, and turned on the shower. She thought she would go to the library today like she told her parents. She really didn’t think that she was really up for it but she didn’t have anything else to do since it was the summer time.  When she got out of the shower she put on a pair of jeans and a blue t shirt with Jackson and her handprints on it. She thought it was a great way to preserve a part of him, and they decorated it together a few weeks before he passed away. She put on a pair of flip flops and walked down stairs to the kitchen to grab a bagel.
    On the counter there was a note from mom that said , “Katie, I will be home early from work today. I thought we could go do a little shopping today. We both could use a little time away from the house. I will be home by 330 and we can leave shortly after that. Have a great day. I love you! Love, Mom.”
                  Katie laid the note back on the counter and glanced at the clock. It was 930 and she had plenty of time to get to the library and talk to Mrs. Smith. She grabbed her bagel and her keys and walked out of the house closing the door behind her; still shaking from the dream she had the night before.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 5
    Katie walked down the driveway to the sidewalk and took a right. She started towards the library to talk to Mrs. Smith. She could use something to do to keep her mind off the odd things that have been occurring in her life since Jackson left. She just couldn’t bring herself to say that he died. It just seems way
