Did She Follow Me Home?

I'm seventeen, my parents kicked me out in October of 2012. I have my own apartment with my girlfriend. This happened in December, of last year.

I was walking home after work it was eight thirty at night it was raining. I stopped at Burger King and got my girlfriend and I dinner. After that I continued to walk home when I heard what sounded like a child crying coming from an alley. I went to see what was wrong and I found a girl curled up in a ball, crying. She couldn't have been more then seven or eight years old. Her clothes were filthy and they looked really worn. I figured she was homeless.

I managed to get her to look at me. I asked, "Whats wrong?" She said, "My mommy died." I said, "I'm so sorry to hear that are you okay?" She said, "I'll be fine." I was really worried the poor little thing was only in a shirt and shorts in the cold rain. So took off my jacket and put it on her. She looked really thin so I gave her the two cheese burgers and the soda I bought for myself. Finally I pulled out my wallet and gave her thirty dollars. I said, "Sorry but I have to go now." She said, "Okay bye and thank you." I said, "No problem." So after that I continued to walk home.

My girlfriend Annie wasn't home so I put the food in the fridge and went to take a shower. When I was about to go to the bathroom I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door and it was the same little girl from the ally. I asked her, "What are you doing here?" She said, "I wanted to thank you again." I just smiled and said, "Why don't you come in I'll get you something to drink." She said, "Thanks." I said, "Don't mention it." So I got her some milk and a few cookies.

I told her to sit and enjoy her snack I'd be right back I had to use the bathroom. When I came out the bathroom she was gone and the milk and cookies were untouched. So I looked around the apartment but she was no where to be found. I just thought she left, so I went back to take my shower I made sure the front door was locked and then I went to the bathroom. I shut and locked the bathroom door then stripped. I heard foot steps in the hallway right as I was about to get in the shower. I didn't know what to so I threw my boxers and pants on and ran out to see who it was.

There was no one. I checked the front door it was still locked. I just thought I was imagining it and got in the shower. While I was washing my hair I heard what sounded like a little girl giggling then out of the corner of my eye I saw the little girl. I looked at the door it was still locked and I didn't hear her come in. I asked her, "How did you get in here?" She didn't answer she just giggled. Then she grabbed my clothes and towel and took off. I grabbed my boxers (thankfully she didn't see) and ran after her.

Right when I was in the living room I saw her run in my room. At the same time my girlfriend Annie and five of her girlfriends came in. Annie asked why I was wet and running around in my underwear. I told her about the girl and she laughed. I said let's just get my clothes back okay. So the seven of us went in my room and searched. We didn't find anything. Then I walked in the living room I saw my clothes on the couch. I was shocked. I asked everyone if there was any way she could have slipped past us they all said no. So I checked the door, it was locked. None of us knew how she could have gotten out. So I just went and finished my shower.

An hour later when everyone left I heard giggling again and the girl was in the doorway of my room Annie asked how she got in. The girl just smiled and ran. Annie and I jumped out of bed and ran after her. We searched the apartment and again nothing. The little girl likes to have fun with us.

We don't have a problem with her we just want to know why she decided to have fun with us. Any guesses?
