The Last Stranger (On hiatus/Rewriting)

Mysterious Day Off [Part 3]: Broken friendship?

Val POV

After minutes of fighting over what movie to watch we eventually picked 365 days. He said it was family friendly so why not. Almost forgot to mention this school has a cinema. Crazy right? 

Anyway after we got drinks and snacks we took our seats. There was about 24 people here including ourselves. 

From the start to the end of the movie was........ well....... quite explicit to put it nicely. When the credits started rolling I turned to speak to Angelo.

“Family friendly huh? What a lie” We both quietly laughed as we where still in the cinema.

“You know you liked it” I raised my eyebrows.

“Damn Angelio I thought you were innocent”

“What gave it away the movie?” He said sarcastically.

“To be honest you’re whole personality just screams dirty. The movie only proved it. Bet you watch hentai” 

“How di-“ I stopped him before he could say anymore.

“Wasn’t a question nor do I need to know. Now let’s go before I change my mind about playing football” He got up and ran out of the cinema. “Wait for me will you” I sighed before getting up and following his trail. He tried to scare me at the entrance but it back fired because I spilt my remaining drink, from the movie, all over his t-shirt.

“Are you serious?” He tried to wipe his shirt but instead made it worse by rubbing it in.

“That’s what you get for trying to scare me. If it makes you feel better you look a thousand times more edible now” He was confused until he looked at his t-shirt that was now completely see-through.

“Looks like I’m not the only dirty person here” I laughed. “But I really do need to put on a new shirt”

“Or just take it off” It was silent until we both looked at each other and absolutely bursted our in laughter.

“You really need to stop” He said holding his stomach and still trying to recover from the laugh attack.

“Just hurry up and go change I’ll wait by the toilets” He nodded before leaving me. I was waiting just outside the toilets but decided to go in and fix myself up a bit. I heard a group of girls coming towards the toilet so I quickly hid in a cubical and locked it. I had no solid reason for this but I just felt a sudden chill and the hairs on my arms stood up. I’ve learnt to listen to my senses because they’re always right. I could feel through my feet that were connected to the ground it was 3 girls. I closed the lid of the toilet, lifted my feet and sat on it just before the girls entered.

“Heard the Elite 7 died” They all started to laugh. I don’t understand what was so funny about loosing the life of 7 great warriors who fought to protect people like you. These girls are so ungrateful.

“You heard right Mia. Plus they were led by that Felix freak” Another one said. I know they did not just insult my brother. I got so angry but held it in. If I remember anything my brother has taught me, it is to be calm and level headed. If I reveal myself who knows what could happen.

“Isn’t that your ex?” The one who said they died was now talking again. Ex? Felix had an ex? Oh of course that Cassandra b***h. What the hell is she doing with people who are mocking him? Didn’t she want him back like yesterday?

“Oh please Tanya I just used him to get closer to Angelo” Okay I was so angry now and had many questions going through my head. Used him? To get to Angelo? How the hell is he relevant in any of this? Wait a-

“Are you guys dating?” The girl asked the question I was just about to ask myself.

“No the d**k said no” And thank the heavens for that.

“Come on guys the headmaster asked for us 5 minutes ago. He’s going to kill us if we’re even later than we already are” And with that they all left. I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding. Isn’t today a day off so why would the headmaster be asking for students. It may be a coincidence but everything seemed too fishy so I turned invisible and followed them. I matched my footsteps with theirs so they didn’t think anything was wrong. I watched as they turned a corner and vanished. I couldn’t see them anywhere so I just laid my back on a wall. The same wall slid open almost making me fall. I took too long staring and it started to close. I slipped in last second. Are there passages like this all over the school? I asked myself as I followed the girls step’s. I finally caught up to them but they entered another door. When it closed I took a look at it. There was no way I was going to get in because it’s the same as Angelo’s door. I decided to just ears-drop on the conversation.

“Girls you’re late”

“Sorry sir we needed the toilet” I rolled my eyes. More like needed to gossip.

“Okay just take a seat” The sound of chairs scrapping on the floor hurt my sensitive ears. Was that really needed? “Now that all 9 of you are here we can start” Nine? Why would he need nine people? “As you know we’ve succeeded in killing the Elite 7 so it’s you’re time to shine” Just as I was about to gasp, a hand converted my mouth. The worst possible scenarios were going through my head. Did I get caught? How the hell did they even see me? I’m invisible right? What’s going to become of me? Will they kill me? The person threw me over their shoulder still keeping their hand over my mouth. As soon as we got out of the passage and the wall closed up I bit their hand causing them to let me go.

“A-“

“Shhhhhhh” He said before we heard steps coming from behind the door. We quickly but quite the ran and hid behind a wall.

“I thought you said you heard something?” A girl from where we had just left said.

“I did”

“Your delusional. False alarm everyone” The steps then faded away. 

We then walked back to his room in silence. Once the door was closed he angrily looked at me.

“What?”

“What do you mean what? Are your crazy? Didn’t you agree on waiting for me at the toilets?”

“Yeah but-“

“But nothing. What would’ve you done if that wasn’t me who caught you?”

“Well it wasn’t. How did you even find me?”

“We’re talking about you at the moment and I’m asking the questions. Do you know how dangerous and foolish that was? Your brother is going to be disappointed in you” I was now angry because he isn’t my mom or dad so why’s he trying to lecture me right now. I let out all I was thinking without softening the blows.

“WELL HE ISN’T HERE ANGELO. HE’S DEAD. D-E-A-D DEAD. f*****g ACCEPT IT ALREADY. YOU ARE’NT EVER GOING TO SEE HIM AGAIN. HE’S GONE FOREVER SO STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM LIKE HE’S HERE” When I finished I realised what I said. Angelo looked completely broken. I went to touch his shoulder but he slapped it away.

“Get away from me”

“I didn’t mean it Angelo. I’m so sor-“

“Get out”

“b-“

“NOW” His loud shouting caused me to flinch. I ran out all the way to my room and slammed my door before jumping on my bed to stuff my face into my pillow. 

“Stupid Valarie stupid Valerie stupid Valarie” I repeated while hitting myself in the face.

“I shouldn’t have said all that to him. Why did I explode? He was just being protective. Just like Felix and I pushed him away now. Maybe he’s right, Felix is probably disappointed in me. What should I do brother. I’ve always relied on you for everything but now that you’re gone I can’t do anything” A few years left my eyes and I started to fall asleep finally calling it day.

~~~

I woke up to someone knocking on my door so I lazily got up and opened it.

“Ang-“ I looked up and ooks like I was mistaken. “Oh it’s you Tyson”

“What? You sound like you don’t want to see me”

“That’s not it. Just weren’t expecting you is all. Anything I can help you with?”

“Not really just seeing if you were busy”

“Well I just woke up as you can see “ I said trying to fix my hair. He smiled. “Why?”

“Wondering if you wanted to go for a walk”

“At this time?” I said looking at the clock in my room. It was 11:54 pm and pitch black outside.

“Yeah just for a few minutes. I need some fresh air”

“And you couldn’t have gone alone?” *Or with one of your sluts* I said in my head.

“Yeah but that’s boring” 

“I don’t feel like going outside. I’m really tired and not in the right mind set today”

“I understand. I’ll see you later then?” He said waving.

“Yeah bye” I waved back and closed my door before returning back to my bed. Today’s been a long day even though I’ve slept through most of it and I’m about to do some more sleeping. I can usually sleep for like 3 days, with the obvious food and water, and still be tired. I don’t know if I’m just weird or somethings actually wrong with me. I closed my eyes and that’s all it took for my body to shut down.
