Once, Upon a Feeling.

For the first time in my life, I had a feeling of maturity. This was the first step of me growing up. Leaving my house, and going into what seemed like the real world. I was so shy, and never got out, I really didn't like being around anyone other than my family, and friends. I liked sitting at home, alone with my family, but then, I realized, there's always a time to come out of that shell, and show who you are, and that's exactly what I did, just not by choice at all.

It wasn't too long ago that this experience happened. It seemed miles and miles away, but was only next door. This mature moment was when I babysat these two girls, Nadia and Anastasia, for the very first of many times. I was only thirteen years of age when this all occurred. I had a nervous feeling, like being on a roller coaster dropping down to do a loop, walking to their door. Knock, Knock, Ding Dong it went as a waited for the screen do to open.

It was quite funny, that I even let out a chuckle. She looked at me, Teenagers (rolling eyes).

After they were gone, and it was only me and the girls. I sat them down, gave them some pizza, and just waited till they were done. Once, all finished, I didn't really know what to do. Nadia, the four year old, looked at me, like I was suppose to know what to do, and said, Aren't you going to put in me and sisters bed time movie, like my mommy does?

I went ahead in put in Cinderella, and as we started watching, I heard a big BANG on the door, I freaked out, and looked out the window, to find no one there, I started to panic.
