Her Eyes
1738 Words
I reach my hand towards her but dark spirits form a wall that blocks my hand. I pause then take several steps back. The spirits all then disperse and float beside Margaret covering her naked body. Some of the dark spirits picks up her towel then hands it over
“WTF Marg” I reacted
“Perverts like you should die” Margaret shouted then her gate rose from the ground
“f**k!” I shouted then I quickly ran outside the bathroom. I give her a push so she'll step out of the way. Our eyes meet and I can feel that she needs help. I don’t know why but I have this urge to tend to her.
Swarms of angry dark spirits came chasing me and dark tendrils crippled their way to hunt me. I run to the kitchen and pick up a large knife. Sounds foolish right? What can a knife do in a time like that, they are spirits after all. I got cornered but they all stopped and just surrounded me. Several seconds later they cleared a path for Margaret to enter. Her eyes still emit this yellowish flare. With murderous look she said
“Who in the right mind will sneak up to the bathroom while someone is taking a bath”
“Scum like you should be erase in this world” then her gate rose from the ground It slowly opens then wood like hands came out of it
“Look I am sorry. I was just a little worried that’s all. I don’t have any bad intentions towards you”
“Just listen first, don’t judge anyone without knowing their side first” I bargained
“Speak up!” She raise her voice at me and the hands lower down a bit
“You see, I was worried because you are awfully taking a long time in there. I thought something bad happened to you”
“I wasn’t there to take a peek, it’s not in my nature.”
“If you don’t believe me you can poke my eyes out. Emre knows what I have done” I said
The spirits and tendrils vanish but the glow in her eyes remains. Her face somehow lightens up a bit. She approaches me and pull out the knife off my hand, she slides it to the table then give me a tight hug
“Look I’m sorry if I misjudge you”
“I do have trust issue towards men” She said then I feel something dripping off my shoulder
“Is she crying?” A thought inside my head
I pull my arms out of her hug then I give her a hug too. I rub her back and tell her everything is going to be okay. She then hugs me even tighter and I can clearly hear her sob. Feels like she has a huge burden inside her chest. I let go of her and gave her a soft push. I look her straight in her eyes then said
“If you want someone to talk too just remember I am always here”
“I’ll listen” I said then I smiled at her
Her eyes then went back to normal. I pull a chair for her and let her sit on it. I sat on the floor as I held her hand. I look at the time and it’s an hour before the school starts.
“Oh crap! I haven’t bathed yet”
“We will be late at this rate” a thought inside my head
“Hey Marg, I know that you're down to the dumps but how long does it take for us to get to school?”
“You see we only have an hour to get there and you haven’t put some clothes on while mine is a total mess”
“I am a scholar and currently running for presidency and it would be bad for my image if I got late” I ask
“Sorry”
“You should take a bath and put your clothes on the washer”
“I’ll meet you inside the car” Margaret said
She then stands up and went upstairs
“Phew I thought I was a goner”
“So that is what she looks like when she’s pissed”
“I never want to get in that situation again” I said to myself
I remove my uniform and check if it has stains luckily there was none. I went to the bathroom and tossed all my clothes to the washer then took a bath. I didn’t bother to scrub because I can’t afford to waste more time. Sounds disgusting but my reputation is on the line here. I’ll just top myself with perfume later so maybe they won’t know the difference LOL.
“You’re quick” Margaret reacted as I hop in the passenger seat
I just smiled at her then nodded. She steps on the gas as soon as I am properly seated. I fix my hair using my finger because I don’t have a comb with me. Then I heard her stomach rumbling. Come to think of it she didn’t had a decent breakfast earlier
“Hungry?” I ask
“I’m fine” She said
“Wanna grab a bite?”
“I do have a pack lunch here. I could feed you if you want?” I proposed
“Nah I’m driving” She said then her stomach rumbled again
“Just speed it up so we can have breakfast at the cafeteria”
“Drive thru might be risky because time is not on our side right now” I said
“Fasten your seatbelt” She said
She stepped on the gas and we burst into the streets. We were going so fast that my soul detached from my body. We arrived at the university in no time. My feet were shaking upon exiting the car. I grab tight the door so I won’t fall
“Are you a drag racer or something?” I ask
“Let’s go” She said then walks towards the building
I grab all my things then follow her
“We still have fifteen minutes before the bell rings? Wanna grab a bite first?”
“I know you’ve skip breakfast and you’re hungry no need to hide it”
“You can have this lunch I made. I just tell the twins that I forgot to make one” I said
“Forgot to make us what?” the twins said as they popped out of nowhere. They grab both my hands
“I think I’ll go ahead” Margaret said then she walks the other way
“You smell nice today” Cherry Lyn said as she sniffs me
“Yeah it’s like you pour an entire bottle of perfume on you”
“Don’t tell me you’re hitting on Margaret”
“Haven’t you heard that she’s a total slut. Like she slept with several men already” Darryl Lyn said
“And where did you hear about that news?” I asked
“I just heard it from an upper class men once” Darryl Lyn said
“Come to think of it. I heard that rumor as well but we can’t just judge people especially things like that. That’s very degrading if you ask me” Cherry Lyn said
I raise my hand at her waiting for a high five and she responds.
“Enough of that we should hurry upstairs we don’t want to get late for homeroom” I said then I pick up the pace
We arrive at the room and Alexandra is already there sitting on her chair.
“Take a seat homeroom will start soon” Ms. De Villa said
We take a seat and wait for the time to passby. As soon as the bell rings Ms. De Villa explained to us the importance of voting fairly. The election is somewhere around the block so she told us to vote wisely.
“Mr. Paloma a word please” She said then she stepped outside the room. I stand up and follower her
“So, how’s your campaign going?”
“Are you ahead in the polls survey if not I’ll help. I’ll go ask my classes to vote for you” Ms. De Villa bargained
I made me smile but I refuse her offer
“I don’t want to win by manipulating others. I want to play this fair my conscience won’t make me sleep if I win by cheap tricks”
“If I win thanks if not better luck next time” I said
“You know that your life's on the line right?”
“You would be such a waste if you just become a play thing for those demons” She worriedly said
“If you’re really that worried I can just call off the agreement. I am sure that he’ll gladly accept it”
“We are in good terms after all” I said with a huge smile smile on my face
She wags her head with a troubled look on her face while biting her nails
“Is there something that matters?” I ask
“You know you can’t cancel an agreement with a demon right?”
“Once it is set only the gods can break it”
“By the looks of it your sentence is near. I hope you win the election” Ms. De Villa said then she enters the room
“Wait” I said as I grab her arm
“I just want to inform you that Marg unlocked her eyes as and her spiritual magic were enhanced” I said then I pull her slight then enter the room
