Viper Love

Katya took off her jacket and hung it on the hook of an old wooden hanger in the hallway. She took off her shoes, went to the mirror and began to examine herself, moving apart. - I got my skirt dirty again! You're clumsy, Katya. That is, me. Picking up a shoe-cleaning sponge, she began to wipe the stains off her black pleated skirt. - That's better, if my mother found out, she would throw a tantrum again. Katya, throwing her briefcase on a chair in her room, went to the kitchen. After making a sandwich from a piece of fresh loaf, sausage and butter, she began to do her homework, and then a little cleaning in the house. Katya was a smart girl and always did everything by herself and was self-organized in life. But she always lacked attention... After her father's death, no one could share her attention... No one supported or said a word in that difficult hour. This could be one of the reasons for her nasty character in society. Suddenly, the front door clicked. It was Katya's mother, Lilia Pavlovna. - Are you counting crows again? I've always told you that... - Mom, I've already done my homework, put things in order, corrected my grades in geography. Don't I deserve at least a little rest? - Rest, you say? No, you don't deserve it, you cheeky, professorial girl. Even after his insolence, do you have the courage to ask me for a vacation? What kind of rest do you need, Katerina.... - Do I have to be a naive idiot, always following your orders and being your good girl? Is that what you need? - How dare you answer me like that? And you don't need anything else! I want the best! - And it turns out worse, because I have to be your suck-up, my reputation is crumbling and no one wants to be friends with me and I'm lonely. Because of you, I have to be a nasty bitch at school! - And aren't you ashamed to say such words in front of your own mother? - Aren't you ashamed to spoil your own daughter's life? After all, that's exactly what you do when you run your errands, using me as your servant! Lilia approached Katya, but she jumped up from her chair with screams: - Are you going to hit me again? Is that all you're capable of? - Don't even talk to me! Lilia left the room slamming the door. - Well, run, run away from here! You can't even fight to the end! As soon as you don't get yours, you always back off! Katya, having untangled her braid and put on her pajamas, lay down on her bed with an evil grimace and tried to fall asleep. Because of her feelings for Anton and Polina's rivalry, along with thoughts about the conflict with her mother, she could not sleep for a long time. She fell asleep closer to 4 o'clock in the morning due to lack of body strength. Her eyelids closed on their own and did not want to open. But suddenly, at one o'clock at night, something knocked on the window. This is not accidental, but specifically intentional, the creature or whoever it was did it on purpose. Half asleep, Katya opened her eyes, but what she saw shocked her and she fully opened her eyes. Someone's eyes, white as emptiness, stared at her outside the window without looking away. It was like some kind of animal, but with a human body shape. Katya screamed in fright. But not very loudly, because she immediately wrapped herself in a blanket. "I hope it was a vision or an illusion!" Katya very slowly raised her head from under the covers, afraid to make any movement. Fortunately for Katya, no one else was there. "It's a dream!" Katya rolled over on her left side and tried to sleep, but a feeling of fear held Katya down and did not leave her almost all night, even in her sleep...
