KILLER EYES

CHAPTER 6

Jasper POV

I waited in front of the school for Ria, but for some reason she was late. I didn't mind at all when I saw her waving at me from a distance and smiling. It was cold outside, her red cheeks and big smile gave her a really cute expression. She held out her hands and hugged me as usual. Many people think the two of us are dating. I'm not surprised, if I saw someone that acts like the two of us I'd also think they're dating.

„Good morning, princess" I smiled and she smiled back at me.

„Good morning to you too Jay" she said. This nickname has stuck with me for a couple of years now.

I remember when she was younger she couldn't remember my name. I don't know why she thought of calling me that, but the reason was probably that it was easier for her than calling me Jasper. She always reminded me how beautiful my name is and how I should respect it, but for me the nickname Jay is perfect as a real name, since she thought of it.

„It's cold outside we should go" I grabbed her hand. Her hand was as cold as if I had just touched the snow.

We were all getting ready for the start of class when Chloe and Rebecca came to our desk. I already knew she was waiting for Ria and I felt really sorry for her. I would be very happy to help her. You can't even imagine how much I hate my family for this. The only thing they deal with is money and business. I know it will sound bad, but I envy Ria for having such an amazing mom. Ria and her mother have always meant a lot to me. But my mother always taught me that blood is blood.

„How are my essays going Alexandria? This is the last day, I want to see them on my desk tomorrow I hope that's clear!" she shouted.

I saw Ria curl her hands up into fists and trying to hold herself back from knocking her out. I certainly did the same.

"I will write the essay for Rebecca and Ria will write it for you Chloe agreed?'' I asked Chloe and raised an eyebrow.

Ria looked at me with a surprised expression, I couldn't let her do it all alone. She cried many times because of how they treated her when we were alone and after that day when I saw what she did to Ria's hand, I was sure that Chloe was willing to do anything to get what she wanted.

„You'd really do that for me, Jasper?" Rebecca leaned over to me and tucked her hair behind her ear.

I swear that if she leans closer to me, I will throw up or hit her. I ignored Rebecca and looked at Chloe.

„So do we have a deal?" I asked.

„As long as I get an A + I don't care which one of you writes it" she shrugged and looked at Ria.

„So your Prince Charming saved you again, huh? I wonder what you would do if you didn't have him'' she said twirling Ria's hair around her finger.

Ria was obviously so done as she pushed Chloe's hand away, which Chloe just laughed at and walked away in her mini skirt and heels to her desk with the Rebecca. They probably went to talk about guys and makeup again, which they almost always do.

„Jay, you'd better be quiet you'll get into trouble at home" she said angrily.

„Hmmm maybe but if it helps you It's worth it" I smiled.

„You're amazing you know that?" She smiled.

I love when I can make her smile it gives me a feeling of warmth and love. The kind of feeling I only have with her. It's a pleasant feeling when you have someone by your side who has been taking care of you like this and you care about them.

Ria's POV

We still had 3 hours ahead of us and my eyes were slowly closing, I was extremely tired and I didn't pay attention to the world around me. I slowly lay down on my desk and closed my eyes. When Jasper nudged me, I didn't give it much attention. I thought he just wanted me to focus on what the teacher was saying.

„Am I disturbing you, Miss Smith?" The headmaster asked as he was leaning over our desk.

He was quite old, he had gray hair and a gray mustache. I remember we always called him Santa Claus and the nickname has somehow stuck to me. I thought I was still sleeping and that I was just dreaming about Santa Claus. When I looked at Jasper his expression told me I should wake up.

That's why I sat up straight in the matter of seconds. I saw my whole class laughing at me.

„Sor-ry" I stuttered.

He pointed a finger at me with the expression that if I ever did that again he'd throw me out of the class.

I just nodded.

He walked over to the board where a boy was standing. I was still half asleep and I didn't see much of who was standing there. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the boy who was grinning at me.

My body froze and my heart started pounding. Before my eyes stood the boy I thought I'd never see again. The same boy that killed that man without remorse that night and probably everyone who was on the news.

I felt my anxiety surround me and my head ached. I didn't hear the students around me and the only thing I was able to focus on was him and his eyes.

The principal left the classroom and the teacher asked him his name.

„Zero Wilson" he said with a smile, while looking at me.

What else could I expect from a psychopath like him? He's hiding behind his smile that looks innocent.

„Okay Zero, you can take a seat in the back of the class" he did exactly as she told him. "Alexandria is the class president, so she will show you the whole school after class" the teacher added, pointing to me.

„Miss, Ria doesn't feel well, so I'll show him the school" Jasper said.

The teacher just nodded. Jasper saw my facial expression, he knew that something was wrong.

I felt as though my throat was closing up and I couldn't breathe his gaze had literally pierced me and I didn't know what to do. Jasper obviously knew there was something wrong with me because he grabbed my hand, but I gently pushed him away. I felt sick and that's why I asked to go to the toilet.

I looked at myself in the mirror my face was as pale as a wall and my whole body was shaking. My legs felt like they were going to give out at any moment. I felt like I was going to vomit so I covered my mouth with my hand, expecting it to happen. I opened a small window that was in one of the stalls and took a deep breath of fresh air. I felt better but not much.

When I walked out of the bathroom I saw that the students were in the hallway and that the class was probably over and that the bell had rang, but because of the fear, I didn't even hear it. When I came to class, I saw that Jasper and Zero were slowly walking down the hall towards the cafeteria.

I ran after them and grabbed Japer's hand and pulled him closer to me and stood protectively in front of him. There is no chance that this psychopath will even touch him without my permission!! I was shaking with fear, but I still glared into his eyes.

Jasper noticed that my hands were shaking, so he pressed my hand harder.

„Don't tell me you want to show me the school?" Zero asked and leaned his body towards me.

The only thing I thought about in my head was to get Jasper out of here and especially away from Zero, as far away as possible.

„Jasper go to class, I will show him around the school. I feel a lot better'' I turned to Jasper and smiled at him.

You could say that Jasper was literally killing Zero with his eyes, but when he heard my voice he looked at me.

„Please do as I say" I said quietly and let go of his hand.

„Well, if something happens come to me and I'll sort it out with him" with those last words he looked at Zero as if he was going to kill him. He then turned around and left.

I turned to Zero, who had a playful look on his face. He pointed to the classroom behind him. It was a classroom that no one had been using for years and there were only empty desks, nonsense and of course a mess.

It occurred to me at that moment that he didn't need me to show him around the school, he knew it. He knew that I would eventually go see him too, he just needed me to go somewhere where we could be alone. How exactly can this psychopath be calculated?

He closed the door behind us and looked at me. I waited for him to say something so I just stood there not moving one bit of my body. He came closer to me and tilted his head towards mine so that he could look at me better.

„You know why I'm here right?" I felt that he is angry.

„No, I don't know, but I want you to leave!" I tried not to cry and show him any type of weakness. I don't know if I was doing very well. He smiled at me as if he was trying to make fun of me for my bad acting. I'm not really a good liar.

„Hmm, interesting. So you don't remember that you went to report me to the police station right?" He brushed my hair out of face so he could look at me better.

It occurred to me that I never told Officer Noah my name, I never introduced myself. Does the head of police work for him? For this psychopath?

„Your facial expression tells me you know exactly what I'm talking about, pancake" he smirked at me.

„Officer Noah works for you" I said quietly.

„You don't look so stupid you figured it out pretty quickly, I'm surprised. Well, one thing that interests me the most is why you said anything? Didn't I tell you not to do anything stupid that could make you lose your life?'' He whispered in my ear.

I waited for him to kill me and for when I would feel the pain. I was ready for it.

„You look scared, tell me pancake are you afraid of death? '' He asked with a rough voice as if death meant nothing to him.

I was clear about my answer.

„Yes" I said with a trembling voice.

„I can tell from the way you're shaking pancake" he laughed.

He pulled a knife out of his pocket and pressed it against my neck.

„You remember how I told you I would love to hear you beg for your life, right? I have an offer for you, I'll let you live but your little boyfriend dies. What do you say?'' He put his knife closer to my neck.

Jasper instead of me? I would never do something like that to Jasper.... he's too important. Tears began to trail down my cheeks and the idea of ​​Jasper dying because of me hurt.

„Kill me instead" I said quietly. Tears were rushing out of my eyes so fast that everything I saw was blurry.

„So you would be willing to give your life for him, if I understand correctly? How brave" he said.

I nodded and closed my eyes tightly. I waited for his knife to slit my throat and end my life. In my mind I was replaying memories of Jasper and I from our childhood to the present day. I waited for the severe pain but nothing happened. I slowly opened my eyes and saw how close he was to my face.

„You're boring, you know that?" He said and walked towards the door while putting his knife back into his pocket.

I didn't understand what was happening. Why didn't he kill me? Why would he risk it?

„Why didn't you kill me? That was your plan, no?" I asked while wiping away my tears.

„You're not a sinner pancake, but I think I will have to keep an eye on you, so you don't open your pretty little mouth again" he said, not even looking in my direction and walking out the door.

What did he mean, when he said I'm not a sinner?
