But one evening, Lily didn’t go to school. I had to go home by myself after school. It was nearly 8:30p.m.. I walked quickly as I was a little afraid. Suddenly I heard something strange behind me. I began to walk faster than before. And I still could hear the sound. “Maybe someone is walking after me.” I said to myself. But I was afraid and didn’t dare(敢) to look back. I began to run .But when I was running the sound still came behind, and became louder than before. It seemed that he was also running. Some sand came into my shoes. But I didn’t want to stop and just ran home.

Ten minutes later, I got home out of breath. My father asked me, “What’s wrong with you, dear?” “Someone, someone is running after me.” My father hurried outside. Nobody was there.
