triple personality

miss Lilly

I splashed as much water as I can on my face. still, the image lingered . that dark figure with so much expertise. I just couldn't get it out of mind. I don't think he was there to hurt either Ace or me . but the question still remained why was he there. if he wasn't with them and he definitely wasn't with us, then, what was his business there.

flashback to yesterday

I felt the gun nuzzle pressing deep into my cheekbones. any minute now and I would be dead. I had already said a few words of prayer and was patiently waiting to go meet my maker but it never happened.

he traced the nuzzle down my face to my lips taking his time like he was savoring the structure of my face.

all this while, he never let go of my hands.

all of a sudden, he put his gun away and let go of me. taking a moment to breath in my structure properly before he made a nose dive out of the building.

for minutes I stood transfixed. if I hadn't realized that the police would be arriving soon, I would have stood there until I was caught.

I managed to round up my work, set the place on fire and drag the half alive Ace out of there.

now, staring at the window , I am filled with the memories of that guy whoever he is.

was it just me or was my wardrobe really empty this morning? I was wearing the worst outfit I could think of wearing. I was wearing crotchet baggy trousers that looked a million years old. and I had a jean hoodie on. and to top things off, I was putting on a foamy sneakers.

the truth was , I didn't plan to dress this way today but my mind was clouded by that son of a b***h. I really had no idea what I was doing. I wasn't putting on makeup. but I was pretty. and anyone who saw beyond the rags on me could notice that.

"Hailey Hudson, what the f**k are you wearing" the voice of my new homeroom teacher rang out from across the hallway.

at that moment I knew I was dead.

sometimes I wish I hadn't killed the dead guy, Mister kelvin. now I'm stuck with Miss Lilly. she is very kind and pretty nice and supportive but she just can't seem to ignore anybody. expecially not me. she had taken an interest in me which I didn't like at all. I enjoyed being invisible and miss Lilly was making that difficult for me.

I forced a smile and turned around to meet her sharp strides as she stride towards me firmly accompanied with her judgemental expression.

if she knew the turmoil I had to deal with this morning. she would definitely let me breath.

from the corner of my eyes, I could see Madison and her gang strolling leisurely in. I couldn't be here when they come in. so, without a second thought I turned around and took to my heels running into the boiler room.

I hated this part of my life. the part that was weak and completely helpless. tears stung at the corner of my eyes threatening to fall. I grabbed a handful of my knitted trousers and pulled and squeezed trying to squeeze the pain away. but it lingered and instead my trousers ripped.

"damn it" I cursed looking at my torn trousers. now I had another problem to deal with.

the boiler room metal doors creeked open and I hurriedly hid behind a giant pipe. I don't even wanna know what passes through there.

"you can come out now sweetheart" I heard her voice . much more calmer now. it seems like the storm that aroused in her after seeing me in that dreadful clothes had passed .

I quietly creeped out of my hiding place like a cat that had been caught by the tail. miss Lilly looked at me and I could see the pity running through her eyes. she opened her arms wide and I ran towards her. she and Ace were the only two people who had bothered to show me even the slightest bit of love. I remembered the day I had killed Mister Kelvin, my forgotten homeroom teacher.

the plane landed at the international airport and we all alighted. I moved stealthily through security as usual and when I was done , I headed for the terminal bathroom. I changed my clothes out of habit and left the airport. the taxi I had already contacted was waiting just in time. the elderly man was one of us. he handed over a new set of camouflage and I changed quickly right in the car while his eyes followed my every move. he dropped me off at a back alley which was just a few blocks from Mister kelvins resident. I was close to his balcony when I saw this lady running down the street. she seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere. at first I ignored her but soon I noticed that she was not in a hurry to get somewhere , she was on the run. though, she was well covered, you could see the bruises on her body pleading to be visible. and then I saw a man behind her chasing her. my protective instinct kicked in and I approached them. I beat the man to a pulp and urged her to run which she did. I made sure to instill fear in him that he would never attempt to come after her in the future. when I was done with my mission, I came across the same lady. I could see the pain in her eyes probably thinking of where to start as she might have felt like her life had come to an end. again, I should have left but I didn't. I had mask which made me totally unrecognizable, so, there was nothing to worry about. I approached her and dropped a wand of cash beside her which I had gotten from Mister kelvins apartment. I also took her phone not worrying about fingerprints since I had gloves on. I typed on the screen and handed it back to her.

in that test , had a school name, a vacant job position which I had just taken away from its previous owner and a phone number of the principal.

looking at Miss Lilly now, I don't regret my decision that day.
