KILLER EYES

CHAPTER 4

Jasper and I sat down at our desk, like always we were the first ones to be in class. Chloe is most likely still waiting in front of the school for Rebecca and her new boyfriend who is a senior at our school.

„Are you okay? Do you want me to say something to her?" Jasper smiled at me and patted me on the head.

„No, I'm fine" I said with a smile even though that was a lie.

The truth is Chloe likes to pick on me. She tells me I'm a nerd and it wouldn't be surprising if I found another note in my locker saying I should go jump of a bridge and leave this school. There have been many times where the stuff from my locker were gone and later I found them in the trash.

Truth be told it makes me sad and I feel like crying, but I will never let any of those brats see me cry. That would mean I'm giving them what they want. After awhile you get used to it though. So I don't really care as much as I did before.

Jasper always tried helping me when something happened. The only thing holding him back from ripping all of Chloe's and Rebecca's hair out was his mom. Jasper's mom and Chloe's family are really good business partners. If he hurt Chloe in any way, that would mean they lose their partnership and a lot of money which wouldn't be good. I'm not saying I'm mad at Jasper, if he could he would definitely stand up for me. His mother is the problem. He would never betray her, because she is too strict and she would ruin our friendship if he tried to do anything she didn't like. I would say Jasper was raised to be mama's boy. Truth be told i feel bad for him more than I do for myself.

As the only poor student in this whole school, it's really hard to fit in. I have nothing to offer. Maybe that's why my only friend is Jay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bell rang in class and it was already lunchtime.

„Come, let's go" Jasper said while reaching his hand out.

I grabbed him by the hand and we walked out into the hallway where students were laughing and making their way to the cafeteria.

„I'm going to wash my hands. Wait for me at the entrance okay?" I said.

„Okay" he nodded and let go of my hand.

When I walked into the women's restroom near where our classroom was, I immediately regretted going there. I should've used the restroom that was on the second floor. Chloe and Rebecca were standing there with other girls I didn't recognize. They were probably from another class. Rebecca was fixing her red lipstick that she had on her lips while looking in the mirror. By the way she was looking at her face you could say she's in love with herself.

The other girls were smoking near the window, laughing. Of course I wouldn't be surprised if they did drugs in here too. Everything at this school revolves around money so nobody cares about what they do.

I didn't pay much attention to them, i just wanted to wash my hands and leave.

„Alexandria..." Chloe said while the other girls from her group laughed.

I ignored her and dried my hands with a tissue. When I turned around to leave, Chloe grabbed me by the shoulder.

„How dare you turn your back to me!" She said with a high pitched voice and had a very hurt look on her face that was obviously fake. She liked acting like she was in a drama. But what do you expect from a b***h like her.

„What do you need Chloe?" I said with a cold tone.

„Oh look at this, I wasn't here for a month and you think you have the balls to backchat me" she laughed.

„Look here's the thing...half of the school year is almost over and I would be very happy if I had an A+ on the essay we are supposed to hand in and Rebecca as well of course" she said while blowing cigarette smoke in my face.

My eyes were burning from the smoke. I don't smoke and never will. I waved my hand in front of my face to try and get rid of the smoke. But that was useless, the whole restroom was filled with smoke. I thought about what she just said.

Is she kidding me? I have to write 3 essays!! That will take me a week and a half or more!

„I would like it by tomorrow" she said and winked at me.

„That's impossible, so do it yourself it's not that hard. Use your head and google" I smiled at her.

She grabbed me by my uniform and pulled me towards her.

„Because I'm so generous, I'll give you two days. You wouldn't want your mom loosing her job now, would you?" she asked.

My nerves were at the edge of exploding. I curled my hand up into a fist. You wouldn't believe how hard it was not to beat the s**t out of this b***h. I would love to see that look on her face fade away.

„Fine" I couldn't say anything else. I know that Chloe could destroy my whole family and my mom's work without even lifting a finger.

„It's nice working with you. I'm sure we can agree on a next time, what do you say?" she said with a fake smile.

„Come on don't look at me with that face, we will be good friends okay?" she said while burning me "by accident" with the cigarette she was holding in her hand.

„I'll see you later Alexandria..." they all walked out while laughing.

My hand was overcome by pain. Nothing in this world would make me happier than karma bitting Chloe in the ass. Why me? I never did anything to anyone. I try to be nice to everyone.

I put my hand under running cold water, but It didn't help. Tears started forming in my eyes, but I didn't want to cry. So I tried holding it in.

„Are you okay Ria? You were gone for a long time I started to get worried so I came here to see if everything was okay" he said with fear in his voice. I could tell he was worried about me from the look on his face.

He most likely saw my facial expression and walked closer to me. He looked at my hand.

"Ria that looks like it hurts are you okay?" he said grabbing my hand and started looking at it while panicking.

„Yes I am! Please don't touch me Jasper" I shouted at him. I didn't want to do that, it just came out. I was angry and sad. I took it all out on Jasper which was wrong of me. He's not at fault here.

He looked sad and I all I could say was sorry with my head down. The sorry was so quiet he didn't even hear it.

His arms wrapped around me and he pulled me to his chest. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of his heartbeat.

„I'm sorry Ria...I should've been there for you, but I wasn't. You know I love you" he said.

I nodded.I know he loves me and I love him.

„I feel better" I said quietly. He placed my face in my hand and looked into my eyes.

„Are you sure?" he asked with a serious voice.

„ Yes" I said reassuring him. „Good" he said while giving me a kiss on the forehead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

School had ended and I was waiting for Jasper in front of the school. My phone buzzed, it was a message from my boss telling me I can go back to work.

„So shall we go?" he said. I didn't even realize Jasper was standing next to me.

„I have to go to work" I said with a serious voice.

„Call me when you finish, I'll take you home okay?" He said with a worried look on his face.

I nodded.

„Bye" I said.

We both went in different directions.

It was cloudy today. Goosebumps covered my body from the cold wind. While I was walking I thought about how I'm going to write three essays in two days. Even though Jasper volunteered to help me I rejected him. It's not that I don't want his help it's just that Jasper's mom doesn't like when he sleeps at my house or comes over often. I don't want to cause him any trouble with his mom. He has enough as it is.

The walk there felt longer then before...cold and dark. I felt uneasy. A cold breeze was blowing in my face and I was expecting it to rain any minute now. I got that weird feeling again that somebody is watching me. I was looking all around me but nobody was there.

„I died because of you" I heard a whisper near my ear. I turned around but nobody was there. The voices in my head got louder. I didn't feel well and my head was spinning. In that moment it started pouring with rain. I ran as fast as I could to get to the shop.

I had a headache and I felt like I couldn't get the voice out of my head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The whole time I was at work, I felt emotionless. I didn't smile or anything. I kept thinking about the mysterious man and what I'm going to do. I want to tell the police but I'm scared...what if something happens to me? What if I die?

The thought my throat being slit frightened me. I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe. I walked into the changing room and drank some water. I looked at myself in the mirror, I was so pale in the face. I haven't eaten yet that's probably why. I looked at the clock hanging on the wall and I still had thirty minutes until I could go home. I didn't feel well, I was hungry and not to mention how much of a migraine I had.

When i walked out of the shop the memory of that night flashed before my eyes. „Help me" the voice in my head kept getting louder and so I covered my ears with my hands. I wanted the voice to disappear. I have to realize that any person would've reported it to the police, but I kept thinking about how I could get killed if I said anything. Keeping this kind of information from the police was a crime. I have to go to the police station and tell them everything I know.

I was determined and made my way to the police station. It was a big building that had many floors. I stopped in front of the building and procrastinated. I kept staring at it and thought about what I'm going to do next. People and police cars passed by me and I was just standing there listening to the noises around me.

I took a deep breath and told myself I can do this.

I walked in to the building and immediately went to the reception. The nice policewoman with blond hair tied up in a ponytail asked me what was the problem. When I told her I saw the murder that happened in town she looked at me with a surprised look as if she didn't believe me and thought I was making it up.

She showed me the way to a small room with a table and two chairs that were opposite each other. It all reminded me of a detective movie.

She said that the head of police would come and see me. That he would talk to me and help me file a report.

I nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about 15 minutes of waiting a man approached me. He looked too young to be head of the police, which was weird because he looked like he was in his early 20s. I'm not going to lie he was very good looking with green eyes and curly dark brown hair. He was tall and he had a very masculine figure. He smiled at me and sat down opposite me.

„Good evening Mrs. Smith." the detective said.

He placed a voice recorder on the table. He had a pen and notebook in his hands. Most likely he was going to write down everything I said.

I was so nervous my hands started sweating. I told him everything, from how the man killed the person to the last thing the man told me. I told him everything I remembered and believe me I remembered it very well.

„Thank you for all the information Mrs. Smith we are happy you had the courage to report such an act. Your information won't be revealed to the media, it will only be accessible to me. When we get more proof we will contact you. If you have any other questions please feel free to call me on this number, I would be happy to help" he said giving me his card and shaking my hand.

I felt as though a rock had been lifted of my shoulders. I think I did the right thing by going to the police. I told them everything I knew. I hope I helped other people by doing so. I hope they catch him as soon as possible.

I walked out of the building and put the policeman's card into my wallet. Now that I think about it he never introduced himself to me. Aren't they supposed to always introduce themselves? I didn't dwell on it much and took the card out of my wallet then looked at the name on the card.

Noah Collins...
