CHAPTER THREE:

It’s been few days since Lora hanged out with Dionne and it all looks like a year.

You might think they’re couples and it’s pretty obvious when she smiles each time he was with her.

Did I ever mentioned Dionne being weird?
He’s actually weird in everything he does with the white pale skin which made him look like those anemia victims.

I’m sure you know what I’m talking about?

Again, I’ll admit he’s handsome. His teeth were like shinning star whenever he laughs, his black eyes were night in the day.
He posses a silky smooth skin with a pink l-ips, so captivating to it’s beholder.

I ain’t crazy, am I?

Now, I’m beginning to doubt if Lora was really crazy the day he first walked into the academy.

Since Lora introduce Flo and I to him, he’s been giving me this looks that always gets my bones shivering.

They weren’t the s-xy cutie type worth dying for, they were those devilish looks in horror movies.

Weird, isn’t it?

From the start I’ve been having this weird feeling about him.
And I don’t wanna tell Lora that he has been stalking me since two days ago.

That’s just gonna hurt her, as well as ruin our relationsh¡p.
And I’m probably not ready for that either.

Although, a part of me wants to spit the wh0le stalking thing to her, a part of me doesn’t.
So, I’ve decided to keep it as my little secret.

I sat on my bed with my both legs folded together.
My gaze travel outside the window staring at nowhere in particular.

The night breeze blew through my windows and I was loving it’s perfection on my skin.
I didn’t notice mom walk in until I felt a weight rest on my bed.

“Hi,” she whispered, smiling.

“Hi,” I responded with a smile.

“You look dull tonight, What’s bothering you?”

” Nothing. ”

” You know you can talk to me what it is, I’m listening. ”

” Mom, I’m fine okay? You don’t have to worry about me, I’m fine. ”

” Then tell me why you don’t wanna eat your food? ”

” I’m not hungry and… I just wanna think. ”

” Think? “She repeated. ” Think about what? ”

” College, ” she flinched her brow, like she was kinda confused why I would be thinking about such a thing now.

Yeah, I’m lying and it’s worth it.

“Look, I know it’s crazy but I think I have to. It’s my last year in highschool, it’s probably not a bad idea to start thinking about college at this time. ”

” You’re right, sweetie, everyone does think about their future. But my advice, don’t stress your brain too much. Okay? ”

” I won’t, mom. ”

” In case you get hungry, your food is in the kitchen. ”

” Okay. ”

” Good night, sweetie. ” She said with a k-ss on my forehead.

” Good night, mom. ”

Stopping at the door, she turned. ” Don’t forget to turn off the light.”

“I won’t.”

English first quiz is slowly approaching and it’s me in the library sitting my ass and stressing the hell outta my brain.

I’m really good at english but the wh0le essay stuffs, it’s something not baffling at all.
Lora could have been here with me cos she’s pretty good at it but she’s probably out there with her new boyfriend.

God, I’m really stranded right now.

“Hi,” a hand stamped on my desk causing me to shiver.” Sorry I startled you. ”

My high heart sank back to its normal position before my body could relate to his presence.

“Hi,” I said too, hiding how startled I still was.

“Guess I ain’t disturbing, am I?”

“Not at all.” Yes, you are.

” Can I talk to you… for a moment? ”

I nodded a ” yes”

” There’s something I wanna tell you… ”

I didn’t let him finish his statement, I quickly asked. ” Is it about Lora?”

“No, not at all. It’s about me.”

“You’re sick? ”

” Not that either. I was wondering if we could be friends. ”

” Of course you’re my friend. ”

He chuckled. ” I’m talking about our friendsh¡p not involving anyone, just us. ”

” I don’t wanna say this but, I hope it’s not what I’m thinking. ”

” No, not the kind you’re thinking. I mean the close friends. ”

I curved my l-ips in an ‘o’ shape, ” sure, sure.”

“I’m Dionne and you’re…”

“Elise.” We shook our hands. ” Tell me you weren’t serious when you said you were scared talking to me? ”

” I wasn’t. Honestly, I’m cool around guys than girls. And I’m trying to be good with Lora. ”

” Oh no, don’t tell me you’re a gay. ”

He chuckled. ” I’m not. I’m a straight guy. ”

” Thankfully you aren’t. I would have had your face punched if you truly were. ”

We both laughed for a while.
Maybe my theories are wrong about him.
He’s actually not as weird as I’ve thought.

Not stalking me as I’ve thought either.

Since the day at the library, Dionne and I have been real close friends.
But I made sure we weren’t that much together to be around each time.

I’m just trying to avoid Lora suspecting that something fishy was going on between us.

Or maybe that I’m trying to snatch her boyfriend away from her.
I’m not a boyfriend snatcher, don’t take me wrong.

“I hope there’s nothing going on between the two of you?” Flo asked, although less concerned.

But those questions weren’t as less important as she was while asking me that.

I looked at her, shocked I would say. I never expected her to ask me that, I mean, isn’t it too obvious that we don’t have much in common?

“No, Flo. Why would you ask that?”

“Just asking. I just hope Lora doesn’t find out about your closeness with him because she might not understand the way I do. ”

I knew Flo wasn’t the type who just jump into conclusion like Lora.
Despite that, I think I need to start distancing myself from Dionne.

Again, it’s really not my fault. Honestly, he’s the one who always finds me wherever I am.
He asked for the friendsh¡p and I wouldn’t want to push him away because he was my friend’s boyfriend…

Or… because I have this weird feelings about him.
Feelings which actually I’m not having anymore.

Yet, I still think I have to pull myself a little away from him.

The rest of the weekend was slow and fun too.
Shopping with Lora and Floris is the craziest thing you can ever imagine.

I can’t remember the last time I ever went for shopping.
That’s probably two months ago to be precise.

We went for a little hang out at the Hot park not far from the Weston’s boutique.
The Weston’s are probably the real owners of the Hot park in town.

The weather was getting dull and we all drove to my house. We checked everything we had bought, there Lora confessed her love for Dionne and what he has been doing for her for this few weeks.

And she won’t stop blushing while she say them.
rom-ntic, isn’t it?

Saying about their happy moments brought mine with Daniel.
Everything was a flashback, but they were moments I wish never ended.

Since the second day of resumption, Daniel and I hærdly see each other.
He never answer my calls or texted back to me.

Now, he doesn’t attend school anymore, I really don’t know if he’s okay or not.

“You look down, why?” Lora asked.
They might have noticed I wasn’t participating in what they were saying.

“Is it about Daniel?” Flo suggested.

I nodded. “It’s almost a week now and we haven’t seen each other nor texted nor called. I don’t even know if he’s okay. I don’t even know if he’s alive… nothing. That’s unlike him, you know. He always call me back, he always check up on my every weekends. ”

Flo rubbed my back like a child which made me cry the more.
“Each time I tried to sleep, the first thing that comes to my mind is Daniel. I… I wish I can be happy like Lora is. I wish… ”

They both hugged me like there isn’t a tommorow.
And that’s another special reason I can’t afford to lose them.

The night gracefully came with a cold breeze. Lora and Floris had texted me that they were home now.
They also made sure I wasn’t crying anymore.

I know it’s difficult to easily forget a first love, but the more I keep trying, the better for me.
Maybe, just – maybe, we aren’t meant for each other.

Am I really saying that?
Oh please…

I sat beside my window, I shut my eyes for awhile, opening it again.
The wind was just doing a new thing in my life, as if it new how desperate I wanted it at the moment.

Opening it, I stared outside at the quiet road. My eyes caught up with something, on black.

I moved closer to get a clear view.
Now I know I was staring at a figure and not a thing.

It was staring back at me. I wouldn’t say if it was directly at me tho, but the way he stood, he was facing my room in particular.

Somehow I thought I was dreaming. Maybe, all those kinds of dreams that looks much like reality.
My reality…

I rubbed my eyes, not wanting to leave my gaze from this weird figure across my room.
He kept standing there… right at the same s₱0t.

He was standing away from the street light so I couldn’t get a better view of who or what he is.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw he wasn’t there anymore.
Now, I’m talking of a horror movie.
I stood up, staring out my window.

“Hello Elise.” My wh0le system stiffened at the voice. And for a moment, I wasn’t myself anymore.

I could hear the sound of my heart beating, and how fast each sound made.
I know my head was moving but how fast or slow it moved was something I don’t know.

And when I finally turned to where the strange voice was heard, I saw the same figure standing with me right at the middle of my room.

His face was blur and I still couldn’t get to know who it actually was.
But all I know is that I’m standing with my nightmare…
Another great nightmare.

“W… Who are you?” I stammered.

I saw his canine teeth grow, his fangs were already out like a bear about to feed on its prey.
I know I was his prey, and there’s no escaping from my predator.

“A friend.” He said.

And in a speed, I wish I can count how many seconds it took, he was on me.
His razor-sharp teeth’s sank into my bare skin. I let out a loud scre-m, jerking up from my dream.

Indeed it is a dream…

My eyes scanned the room several times before I was able to testify that it really was a dream.
A dream that looked much like my reality?

My hands found its way on my neck, feeling every sides of my bare skin.
While I on the other side, made much effort to calm my racing heart down.

I checked the wall clock, it was 5:30 am. Guess I’ll have to spend the rest of my thirty minutes awake.
It’s a lot better than facing my nightmare.
