Kate had impressed herself this was the earliest time that she had been sent home for being in a fight with another student Kate walked home she had a black eye and a bruised lip. Kate decided to take a shortcut to get home. Kate walked down an alley near her house it was a path that she always took she looked around the ally nothing was different the same dogs bark at her and the same neighbors yelled at their dogs to be quite. Kate walked to her door and stood their for a moment trying to think of a way for her to tell her parents why she is home early. Kate opened the door to see her parents and a stranger but she felt she had seen him before but couldn’t place it. Kate forgot about what she was going to say and just wanted to find out who this man was here and why he was here.
