The Stalking Shadow
Sooo, this is the first one-shot here! This was written for school, we had to write a short story and I'm pretty proud of this one :3
I'd like to point out that not all of these one-shots are 'canon' in our OC universe, but who cares XD
I've got two other written already, so they'll be posted in the next couple of days.
After that I'll just post whenever I've got new ones :)
Enjoyy!

He never liked being at the center of attention. Never had, never will. He disliked anything to do with acting and he was no fan of giving presentations either. That's why he usually sat in the back of the classroom.
It all started a couple of weeks ago, on a rainy day. He was done with school and walking home, when he started feeling watched. He turned around, only to find empty streets. He pulled his hood over his head and started walking faster. The feeling never left and it scared him.
When he was nearly home, he started running. The person, no, the thing was catching up. He quickly opened the door and slipped inside. He slammed the door shut and leaned against it, breathing heavily.
~\/~
When he walked to school in the morning, he tried to ignore the same feeling, but without much luck. It was still raining and he forgot his umbrella. Again. He ended up running all the way to school.
The school was a large building with two floors. It had white with blue walls on the outside and the inside. The whole building looked depressing in the rain.
He grabbed his phone and sighed, twenty minutes early. He went to his green locker and threw his jacket in. After he closed it he turned around and flew backwards against his locker. At first he panicked, but then he realised it was a hug. He chuckled and hugged back.
'It's good to see you too Zoey,' He said.
Zoey had been sick for a couple of days and had been begging her parents to let her go to school today, simply because she missed her friends. When Zoey finally let go of him he asked her if she was feeling better.
'Well, yeah! You know my parents wouldn't have let me go otherwise,'
He grinned. 'That's true,' He looked around. 'Where's Ty?'
She huffed. 'I can cycle much faster than he can!'
'And that's,' A voice suddenly said. 'Where you're wrong. Mornin' Jax!'
Jax chuckled. 'Morning,'
Ty wrapped his arms around Zoey, she giggled.
'Ty, we have math next, I know how much you like it,' Jax said.
'Oh, great,' Ty said and let go of Zoey.
'Can I get a hug too?' A new voice said.
'Sure Mark!' Zoey said.
Jax smiled, he had met all of them in elementary school and were best friends since. All four of them had black hair, only their eye colour was different. Ty had emerald green eyes, Zoey brown, Mark blue and Jax had purple coloured eyes. The bell rang.
'Alright! Let's get to math!' Ty said with fake excitement.
They went to the classroom and took their usual seats in the back of the room.

Two and a half hours later it was lunchtime. The four went to their usual place in the cafetaria and sat down. Jax started playing around with his food while the others talked about class and other stuff.
'Hey Jax, you okay?' Ty suddenly asked.
'Hmm?' His head shot up. 'Yeah, I'm fine,'
Ty eyed him suspiciously but went back to talking with the others. Jax sighed and started eating his food. He still hadn't succeeded in losing the feeling. It lured in every dark corner, like a predator waiting to jump their prey. He decided to ignore it for now and figure it out later.
~\/~
When he walked out the door, he immediately got more alert. He felt his three friends watch him walk away with worried looks on their faces. When he was sure they couldn't see him anymore, he started running. The thing started running too, it was trying to keep up and was succeeding. He ran as fast as his legs could take him, but felt the shadow catching up. It was too fast. He felt himself trip over something and landed on the ground. He tried to get up, but felt something keeping him down. He managed to scream once before...
Jax woke up with a start. He was panting and gripped his sheets tightly. It was just a dream, just a dream. He looked at the time, he had to hurry up. He quickly jumped in the shower and put some clothes on, he grabbed his backpack and walked out of the door.
And while he made his way to school, the thing in the shadows just grinned a sharp smile.
