Just like any other ordinary rainy summer night. My dad was still at work and I was home alone with my friend Marla. My dad has to work late most weekdays and it was Tuesday so he told me that I could invite one friend. I invited Marla. My brothers were at daycare because they don’t like staying home with me for some reason. OK, if I’m being honest I do scare them sometimes and they don’t particularly like it. 
Scrolling through our Instagram feeds as normal. Most of the pictures on Instagram show our friends having fun at the pool or at Main Event but obviously that wasn’t us. “I HATE these pictures” Marla said as she showed me the image on her phone screen. It was a horrifying clown looking through some one’s window with the words “if you don’t like this picture this clown will show up at your window.” these photos are used to get someone more likes but we weren’t falling for it.” I know, they are so annoying!” I added. Ignoring them as usual she scrolled past it. “So what do you want to do?” I asked Marla. “Let’s just watch TV” Marla answered. We walked to my living room and turned on the television. “sponge bob square pants, SpongeBob square pants…”my brothers had been watching SpongeBob before they left for daycare in the morning. “what do you want to watch?” I asked her. “eh this is fine” she replied
We had been watching SpongeBob for about an hour when we started hearing strange sounds “Tap. Tap. Tap” “did you hear that?” asked Marla. “Yeah where did it come from?” I asked hesitantly. “Tap. Tap. Tap” “there it is again!” I yelled. I’m used to scaring my brothers but I’m NOT comfortable when I’m the one being scared! “I think it’s coming from the window!” Marla whispered. She opened the blinds…” AHHHHHHHHHHH!” A white face with red lips and blue eyes appeared outside of window. We ran to my room screaming. We were petrified, but as soon as we could think straight again Marla called 911. “Hello, there is a creepy clown outside our house... I think he was holding a knife!... Okay... thank you. They said they would be right over” she said shakily. Not much later We heard sirens approaching and stayed put due to the fact that we couldn’t move. “Is anybody home?” Asked a man outside the door “yes, come in!” I yelled. Me and Marla walked outside from my room and told the police officer the whole story. The officers started searching my house one of them finally noticed some wet footprints behind where me and Marla had been sitting while watching TV. “The clown wasn’t outside” she said “when you guys saw him outside the window you were really seeing his reflection…and he was standing right behind you.” Marla and I looked at each other until I realized this was all a dream. I woke in my bed and walked to my living room where I saw the same wet footprints. Um, ok, now I see my cat had spilled some water in a cup I had forgotten to take to the kitchen… and, and, OK, my brothers and dad are now home and maybe, hopefully, they walked through the spilled water and made the footprints? Yeah, that’s it. At least that’s what I’m trying to convince myself, anyway. I know this, I will think twice before I scare my little brothers again… or accept an invitation to the circus. Wait a minute, were did this clown nose come from!!!
