Chasing Hell

CHAPTER ELEVEN: This Guy's a Nightmare Dressed Like a Daydream.

CHAPTER ELEVEN: This Guy's a Nightmare Dressed Like a Daydream.

Why is the world so cruel to me? Why is it that everytime I am in trouble, another trouble comes rolling back when I haven’t even overcome the first one? I guess I really am the butt of every trouble. And it sucks, big time!

I studied the face of the brown-haired guy that’s in front of me. His gorgeous face was being decorated by those lovely smirks that can easily make my blood boil to evaporation. As the realization dawns me, what’s in front of me was actually the very reason why I am covered up with problems and troubles. He’s the only reason why I have those bloody notes on my doorstep. He’s the reason why I gradually am losing all the courage I have mustered for years. This guy who’s so full of himself has also been of extreme help to me.

I sighed in exasperation. Well, at least, there’s a part of him that can be adorable. And as much as I want to evolve into a tyrannosaurus rex as of the moment, I’m just drained and used up to even have an argument with him.

“The practice was insane...” I answered lazily before walking past him.

“Yeah, saw you were being scolded by Phillips. And boy was that a sight to behold.” He chirped. His voice was more of a tease. And by the looks he displays, it really seems like he enjoyed watching me struggle at practice.

“Wasn’t being scolded. She just asked me if the steps were too hard.” I explained.

“If you weren’t really scolded, why is it that you looked like you were? I mean, your brows are brawling like fighting c***s and you seemed down.” He asked.

“This is my everyday face, Kohell. And as much as I want to stay pretty and nice, I just can’t. Not in your presence and not inside this school which has become my greatest nightmare. Now, if you could just leave me alone for now, it would really be nice of you. Just please, leave this boring evening to me. And you can keep on pissing me off tomorrow. Just give me this moment. ” I pleaded. My eyes sting and has become watery. Before a nasty teardrop falls, I turned my back on him and started running.

“Oh, I see. I didn’t know I matter that much to you.” He replied. He can’t hide the devious grin on his face and I just shook my head in disbelief.

“I’ll go ahead.” I said before running away from him.

Here I am again, being weak and helpless. I wasn’t supposed to be like this, right? I am Heaven Wessler, the gutsy girl. No threats and bloody notes can bring me down. Only a big jar of Nutella can bring me to my knees in great delight. Who can say no to nutella? They must be out of their freaking minds to refuse that big jar of sweet heaven.

Okay. I lost track. I am on the verge of drama!

I run and run, huffing heavy breathes. Until a hard surface stopped me, and fanning on my nose was the musky smell of a man’s perfume. I looked up to see a lovely lip piercing. My eyes trailed his face and it was late when I realized, I bumped into Hunter Sullivan. The ever cold guy who was with Skye the other day. Goodness gracious, dear Lord? Any more unlucky encounters and series of unfortunate events?

“Watch where you’re going.” Said his superstar voice. And I swear he sounded like he’s singing on a concert at Wembley. Jeez! Man like this can really catch your heart by musical tunes.

“I’m sorry.” I said apologetically.

He eyed me one last time before walking past me and bumping his shoulder on mine. Just what was that guy’s problem with me? The first meeting didn’t really work out well, and then now, he’s like the meanest guy on Earth! Obviously, he doesn’t like me. Not the like-like. What I mean is, he isn’t friendly to me. Unlike his best buds who obviously are friendly in opposing ways. One can be really good and approachable and the other’s just plain adorably annoying!

I started walking while clutching the straps of my backpack. It’s almost nightfall and I should really get going before another bad thing will happen.

I sipped my milkshake while looking at the people walking around the Central Square. Errine asked me out for a little chill here in this cosy cafe after a very tiring day. I thought it’s a very nice idea and so here I am, sipping on this delectable goodness.

“I’m really sorry I left early after practice. I had to pass this assignment, which I’ve been working on for the past few days to Mr. Jordan or I’m dead.” She explained before munching on her savoury cheesecake.

“Nah. It’s okay. I understand.” I gave her a small smile.

“Are you having a hard time with practice? I can help you with the steps later if you want.” She suggested. Her voice’s a little concern and I appreciate it.

“I’m fine, Rine. You’re tired. I don’t want to take away your time to rest from you. I can do it. They’re just easy. My cheer squad before has more complex stunts.”

“Excuse me, girls.” Said a voice who sounds so manly.

I spun to face whoever’s the owner of that voice and I saw a guy whose so buff like he went to the gym every day, His hard-earned stunning muscles pushes from the thin fabric of his Gray V-Neck shirt. And he’s holding pieces of paper. He’s gorgeous, girls.

“Yes?” Errine acknowledged his presence.

“I’m Jesse. And I was hoping you can join us in this...” He said and started giving us flyers.

“A Night with Meteor Shower. Tomorrow?” I read the words printed on the flyer.

“Yeah, it’s gonna be like a camping and you get to build your own tents. There will be a bonfire in the middle of the field and while waiting for the Meteor Shower at 10:30pm, there’ll be free beers.” He informed. Was it just me? Or is he flirting with me with those sparkly eyes?

“Yay! Beer! Count us in!” Errine said in pure delight.

“Errine! No!” I exclaimed.

“Oh c’mon, Heavs. It’s a Friday night. What’s more fun than getting drunk on a Friday night with a Meteor Shower? It’s not every day there are things like this. It’s gonna be fun!”

I thought it over. Surely, no one can change Errine’s mind. And it will suck if I’ll be left alone in the dorm. So again, she’s leaving me with no other choice.

“Okay, fine!” I said.

“Yes!” She almost jumped from her seat with so much excitement.

“But the problem is, we don’t have a tent.” I stated. True that. I wasn’t really expecting these kinds of events. So obviously, I don’t have the things needed for a camping and it’s not like I’m into those specific things.

“I can let you borrow. I have a spare tent set.” Flyer guy butted in. Ohh, he really is flirting, folks! Why am I having such weird attraction towards guys with gorgeous eyes?

“Then it’s settled. We are so gonna join!” Errine said while clapping her hands in extreme excitement and all I have to do is shake my head in disbelief seeing how much of a child she still is.

“Sweet. I’ll see you around, girls. Bye, Heaven.” Jesse said.

The last words I heard from him shocked me. How did he know my name’s Heaven? Certainly, Errine hasn’t mentioned it, ‘cause she uses ‘Heavs’ all the time. I studied his figure one last time and said to myself, ’That is one hell of a big guy.’

“How did he know my name?” I asked Errine who’s currently fixated on Jesse’s back.

“Nice ass.” Errine muttered to herself while playing with her bent straw.

“Jeez, Errine! Can you not say things like that?” I exclaimed.

“What? There’s nothing wrong with that. He really has nice ass.” She repeated.

I crumpled a piece of tissue and threw it at her.

“Stop it.” She said while laughing.

“Whatever. So are we really going to that camping? Isn’t that a bad idea? I mean, you know all the unusual things that are happening to me, right? It’s like tossing myself towards my own deathbed. What if my attacker suddenly shows up?” I stated in complete horror. Bearing those kinds of thoughts in my head is so horrifying and looking into the possibility that my attacker’s from this same school is really alarming for me. Because it’s like serving myself on a platter.

“There’re other students in there, Heavs. We won’t be the only ones in there. So If your attackers gonna make a move, he or she is probably dumb or just plain stupid.” She said. She has a point on that. It might be a bad idea to be out there. But it’s dumber to attack me with lots of eyes around.

“Fine. But since you’re the one excited for that, I guess you shall be in-charge of everything. Including the food.” I said with a grin

“Hey! No fair! Why me?” She exclaimed.

‘You wanted it. So you pay for it.” I said smugly and took a sip from my milkshake.

“Fine!” she said then pouted.

I just gave her a sly grin.

Walking alone in the hallways of Brooklyn Heights’ really a very bad idea. Why? It’s because, students here can’t seem to find their own businesses and are currently gawking my way as I lazily dragged myself towards the classroom on a Friday morning.

Not minding them, I stepped inside the classroom and a more immense set of different coloured eyes are concentrated on me. Yet, one good pair of gorgeous dark eyes may have caught my attention. As seated on the back of my desk, was a brown-haired guy looking surrounded by the rest of The Devil Three. He’s like the alpha male in a wolf pack.

I mustered up all the possible energy I still have on this lazy morning and dragged my feet towards my desk and carefully settled down.

I can feel his eyes piercing through me and so I spun to face him.

“What’s your problem this time? Will you quit staring?” I said harshly and I bet if my glares can pierce right through him, it’ll drill holes on his freaking body and turn him into a walking sponge.

“I am not doing anything, Blondie. I just happen to love staring at someone.” He said in his usual deep voice.

I rolled my eyes heavenwards. “Whatever.” I muttered to myself before turning my back on to him and stared at the blackboard.

“It’s a good thing I can make you uneasy.” The hair on the back of my neck started standing as he said those words to my ears in almost a whisper. And I am quite sure he knows how stiff I am right now. My body sure can’t move as an after-effect of his voice.

And Taylor Swift has a twin. Because this guy’s a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

“Thank you for helping us with the tent and for loaning us your spare one.” I said to Jesse right after we finished assembling our tent.

“Nah. It’s okay. I just wanted you to join and so I offered a little help. Do you want beers?” He asked.

“Did someone mention ‘beer’?” Errine said while popping his head on the opening of the tent. I just shook my head.

“Jesse did.” I answered. “And yes, Jes. We would want some beer.” I added.

“Got it. I’ll be back.” Jesse said and went straight to the kegs of beer near the bonfire.

Errine stepped outside the tent. We insisted on Jesse to station our tent near a tree.

“He’s a nice guy, don’t you think?” She asked.

“Everyone seems nice to you, Rine.” I said in sarcasm.

“Well...” she shrugged her shoulders.

We sat outside the tent and waited for the meteors to show their glowing asses off. Errine and I talked about random things and started giggling like crazy hyenas. The other students are busy chatting with each other and are drinking beers from their red solo cups.

Errine volunteered on fetching us more beers and so I was left alone outside the tent. It was twenty minutes before 10:30pm. I went inside the tent to get my phone. I scanned through it and there are a couple of text messages from Mom asking how I’m doing.

I was busy reading my text messages when heard droplets on our tent. Is it raining? The droplets continued and so I stepped outside to check if it’s really raining. But it’s not.

I was wondering what those droplets were. I unlocked the screen of my phone and used it as a flashlight and focused it on the tent.

I took a step back as I saw droplets of red liquid falling on the tent. It’s blood! I am sure of it! I trailed it way up and I saw a white cat covered with blood and is hanging from the branch of a tree which was perfectly aligned on our tent. I was about to scream when someone from my back grabbed me with his hand on my mouth.

As I spun to face whoever that is, my eyes locked on these gorgeous dark eyes. He’s looking intently into my eyes before muttering, “Forget what you saw. All you can remember is that, you and Errine’s having a fun time watching the meteor shower.” He lets go of me. I blinked twice before looking at him.

“What are you doing here, Treyson?” I asked him. I don’t know why Kohell is here.

“Just lookin’ around.” He answered.

“HEAVS!!!” Errine said aloud while running towards us.

“The meteor shower has begun!” She informed. And I can hear the amusement I everyone’s voices as the sky’s covered up with lights that are just lovely.

“The view’s better on our tent. Come on.” Kohell said.

“Let’s go, Heavs,” Errine said. “Skye’s there.” She whispered.

And so we walked towards their tent and there we Skye comfortably seating on folding chairs.

“Hi Heather. Hi Errine. Come join us.” Skye said as he raised his red cup.

“Where’s Hunter?” Errine asked.

“He left. He said he has to take care of something.” Skye answered.

Kohell handed me a red solo cup of beer, I assume.

“Thanks.” I said as I took the cup from him.

He drank from his own cup and said to me, “Are you having a fun time watching the meteor shower?”

I didn’t answer. Instead, I looked into the sky and enjoyed my eyes on the beauty of the lights in the sky on this horrifying night.

A/N: Yeeeeeeey! Its lame, I now :(( I had to update, so this was the product of it. I hope you can still appreciate it.

Ohhhhh, what’s happening in here? HAHAHA. It has gone all dark-themed. And I’m loving it, folks. If you do too, please let me know.

So w*****d allows only one category for this, so it’s only on Vampire. I don’t know how many changes w*****d would have. I seriously don’t like the changes made. I preferred the old style. It’s convenient to use.

Anyways, for my question:

If you’ll give me a gift this Christmas, what would it be? HAHAHAHAHA.

Love and singing orang-utans,

Chachi Hemmings.
