Pinky Promise ?

2 • Pinky Promise ?

6 years ago

"It will haunt me for the rest of my life. Can you imagine?"

"You didn't think about that when you killed them both. And I'm not saying it's your fault, but it was impulsive, out of anger. Just try to move on."

"It's easy for you to say this, isn't it? You, the perfect daughter, student. No one will ever suspect you because you never do mistakes." he said very meanly.

"Jaz, you are being awful! It wasn't me who threw up when I had done the most horrible deed. I dug! But it wasn't you who threw him in the hole while he was still ..." I choked on the last sentence. "You can't talk to me like this, I'm warning you. Never do this again."

I stood up and walked away from him. He was being really mean. I did all this for him and he was being very ungrateful. Killing someone was not in my life project. Now we have a chance to... anyways... I head to the kitchen to prepare lunch before going to school.

Today is the last day of school. Tomorrow is the prom. I was waiting for prom since middle school but now... I'm feeling restless, guilty but in peace. After what happened, I don't regret what I did. At all. I'll never tell anyone what I did that night. Not even Jazon. It almost came out of my mouth but thankfully I stopped myself in time. I'm proud of what I did and I will never admit it. I'm proud because I saved a life, Jaz's life. Not only his but two others' lives.

Mr. Weber is maybe dead but we will not stop ourselves to live our lives. We'll move on, together, like we always did.

I was making some tuna sandwiches when I feel hands under my shirt, making small circles on my belly. I instantly relaxed. It's pleasant. He lays his head on my shoulder then he whispers. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

I didn't answer waiting for more apologies and more caresses. He really hurt me. He never talked to me like this before. He did the mistake and I tried to rectify it.

"I stress at the idea that someone can find out the truth. I don't want you to be punished and live in the fear for the rest of your life because of me."

"We already talked about it, Jaz. If you did something, I did it too. Got this?"

He nodded. I turn around and kiss him softly.

"You are a very good leader, babe. It's sexy!" he growled.

I giggled when I felt his hands tickling me.

"Well, someone has to be very, very strict if he wants to be heard, don't you think? I ask him as I put my hands around his neck.

"Mmmh, I like that voice of yours, teacher."

"Huh, no. Are you mad? Teacher? Hell no!" I pushed him aside. "It's has been. Never do that. It's remembered me the day when we saw miss Ratchet with the principal in 7th grade in a classroom."

"Yeah, he was shouting 'harder teacher, I was very naughty, punish me!' Unforgettable."

I burst out laughing. The way he imitates him is just unique. He is unique and mine. Only mine.

"Take your sandwiches, we will eat on the road. We're going to be late for school."

"It's the last day!"

"Even more important! Tomorrow's prom. After that, we're free. Okay?"

"Okay..."

"Aww, don't be sad. I will give you a gift if you're being nice." I told him while heading outside.

"I like it."

I was driving. Sometimes, I would catch myself looking at him with a lot of love. I love him. And if there is one thing that I'm pretty sure, is I would anything for him.

We arrived at school. I was about to get off when He stopped me.

"What?"

"Close the door please."

His serious tone is scaring me right now. What happened. Everything was fine just a minute ago.

"Swann, I want you to make me a promise."

"What promise?" I asked.

"We will never talk about that night ever again. Not between us, not to anyone. No matter what will happen from now, you will wait for me. You will not worry about me. And I will always have a place in your heart."

"You already have your place in my heart and my life. And nothing can change that. Is that clear?"

"Pinky promise?"

"Pinky promise."

"Do you remember the importance of our Pinky Promise ?" he asked me.

"I know the importance since we were born, Jaz. I never make fake Pinky promises. The most sacred vow anyone can swear to. If broken, you must suffer serious consequences. I know."

I was about to get off the car when he stopped me again.

"What again?"

"I love you.

I could feel my heart-melting.

"I love you too, babe."

Today

I can't concentrate properly with that guy looking at me every single second.

I can't even write the definition of a hormone or what is a polypeptide sequence. I have something in my hair? On my neck? Is he crazy?

Hormone: Hormones are the chemicals that are responsible for controlling and regulating the activities of certain cells and organs. These hormones are secreted by ductless glands known as endocrine glands.

Right now, I don't which hormone is controlling him so that he's keeping staring at me like a psycho.

I need to work and he is irritating me so badly. I don't know when I will explode. You know what? I will count till 3 before I start losing my patience.

1...

2...

2... a half...

3...

"Stop this," I told him quietly.

"Stop what?"

"What you are doing."

"And what I am doing?" he asked maliciously.

"You better don't mess with me."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Oh, he doesn't know?

I grab my pencil from my pencil case, pretend to sneeze and drop my pencil. When I bend down, I glance in the direction of the professor then towards Blinddo, I plant my pencil in his ankle without retaining my strength. I sit up as fast as I can without anyone seeing me.

"Arrrgghh!!"

I don't let anything show on my face. As if I never wanted him to become crippled.

"What happened? Are you hurt, my baby? asked the shrill voice of that witch.

"My ankle is hurting. As if someone stabbed me with a pencil" he said loudly as if he was talking about me.

"Don't worry my little love. I'll give you a massage after class."

"Silence! Do you want to finish your exam at the principal's office?

I sighed exasperatedly. Kim is too much. 'Are you hurt my baby?' 'I'll give a massage after class my little love.' Nowadays, who talks like that?

"Pathetic."

I blackened my paper like never. I received a ball of paper. I don't really need to search too far, I already know who can do something so childish. I opened it and only 5 words are written: "You will pay for this"

 Really? I'm not scared of that Liram. At all.

I decide to answer. You know, I'm a very polite girl.

"I don't f*****g care"

I threw it on the floor near his table.

The rest of the time he didn't talk to me. I could finish my work without someone's disturbance. The question is: Did I pass?

I was going to my next lesson, my favorite one, PE. I love sports. Every type of it. It's freedom and I love freedom. In high school, I loved soccer. I wanted to play more after but I couldn't.

We are in October, so soccer club registration is opening. I'm gonna participate like every year for 4 years since I'm here. The soccer club helped me a lot. I spend 2 years in depression and that club saved me from drowning myself. 4 years later, I try to move on, and I'm fine, more fine than before. I still never forget the second-worst day of my life. The day when it should have been the best day of my life, it turned to be a nightmare, the other night when I lost everything. Again.

But here we go, I have to settle for the football. I only hope that there will be a better captain for the men's team. Last year was a complete disaster. Last year's captain Tom Hanks came completely drunk at the season finale. It was the only opportunity for Stanford players to have a chance to play nationally.

I don't know how nobody figured it out he was drunk. They tied with Yale, and at the penalty - which was the last action of the match - he missed it by throwing up in front of everyone. God knows why he was drunk at 3 PM. But we know the origin in one single name: Kim Oswald.

Everything starts and finishes with her, even hell.

As if being our and men's cheerleaders' captain wasn't enough, she had to humiliate her two-years-ago-ex-boyfriend right before the game of a lot of lives.

I hate her. Now, Tom can't play, he can't even dare to look at his face through a mirror.

I have finished my registration, I turned up and I bumped again into someone

"Sor– YOU? AGAIN! Do you have s**t in your eyes or what?!"

"Maybe if you lifted your head more often from your small size, it wouldn't happen."

"Am I so small that from your world you can't see me?" I retorted.

"Yes."

Bastard.

"Maybe if you lifted your head from your small size, it wouldn't happen."

"One day, there will be someone who will cut that tongue of yours."

"Ooooh really? Can't wait to see that. If you don't mind, can you move aside? This is not a playground for kids, Kiddo."

"Asshole."

I pushed him aside. I really can't stand him.

There were a lot of people in the stadium for registration. Every sports club is full every year. Ad this time as well. I want to be captain this year. I hope yes.

I'm going to the locker room to drop my bag off... Someone jumped on me.

"Tell me who is that sexy guy with whom you were talking right now"

"Hello, Paige. I'm happy to see you too. I'm fine thank you. Yes, my exams were going well, thank you for asking."

"Yeah yeah, I'll ask you later. Just tell me who the f**k he was!"

"An asshole. Kim's new doggy. Liram.

"Why handsome guys are always falling for girls like her?!" she lets herself fall on the bench next to me. "They don't see people like us? You and me?!!"

"They have s**t in their eyes. You and I are unique in our gender. Don't worry, you'll find your Archie Andrews." I reassured her while tying my laces

"Huh. Thanks but no thanks. I need stability. I'm already unstable. I really don't need an Archie Andrews in my annoying life. I want to be unique in his eyes. The apple of his eyes. I want him to be obsessed with me and my body. I want Ole-Ole!" she shouted waving her ass under my nose.

"Well, Ole-Ole will now come with me, she has to lose the fat from the hamburgers she ate this weekend. After that, we will think about it later" I say pulling her out.

"NOOOO! I AM SUFFERING!!! IT'S A TORTURE!!!"

"Oh come on! It's not that bad!"

Paige is a precious gem. Her straightened flaming red hair. Her so soft milk skin. I love the party girl and the gluttonous girl she is. She's a sister to me like Mina. She dragged me to a party without knowing me 3 years ago. She has everything besides a boyfriend.

She also tried to have me speed dating with every guy on the campus. The result: I couldn't stop laughing. Guys here are weird. She had to force people to leave the date because they were here for one reason. Ole-Ole!! She was even about to fight with one of them. A p*****t one.

She is just amazing. We always smile when we are around her. I love that girl.

Paige and I are studying medicine. I want to be a midwife. She wants to be a physiotherapist. She's maybe a little bit crazy but she is very serious about her studies. Her parents were against it for some unknown reasons. And she's very good at it.

We were heading to the gymnasium. We were talking about my exam and how I tried to stab Blinddo's ankle, Kim, and her ridiculous entry.

"She's too much. I think she's scared that girls like us could steal him from her."

"I think she's too confident," I replied.

Our PE teacher, Mr. Dutsh is coming with Blinddo who is smiling like the Cheshire Cat.

"I think I did a good job by taking this course," Paige said with a sexy smile.

"Good morning everyone. Today we have a new student, Liram Lord. I have some news too. We had to do very quickly with Mr. Thomson and Ms. Craig. but we decided to choose Swann Owen's as our soccer women's team."

All my girls are jumping around me excited and as for me too.

"Last year, you did an amazing job. You deserved it." Mr. Dutsh congrats to me. "The other news is that Liram was captain last year in his old college making them win 2 years of regional. So he'll be the soccer team's new captain from now. He passed successfully his selection last week. So congrats to our new captain."

He is WHAT?!

I immediately stop smiling. My good mood vanished as fast as it came.

What the hell?!
