It takes only just a look (Her affection)

Karla could be seen seated in the school bus along with her friends, they were all gossiping about a trending video that they have seen on t****k. "I can't believe that she really did that, I mean she looked so funny but she deserved it though." said Karla's friend Anita. "And did you see the look on her face when the spaghetti spilled all. over her, I'd literally pay millions just to see that again." said Karla "Well that will teach her a lesson, she should stop bullying other people, I'm glad they finally put her in her place. " Said Karla's other friend... Mare. They were all actually talking about a classmate, she had a reputation of bullying the poor scholarship learners in the school until she finally found her match and ended bullying the wrong person. The school bus finally came into a halt and all the learner who were in started getting out with Karla and her friends being the last people to do so. The moment Karla stepped out of the bus she felt as if her head was hit by a large truck. "Arghhhh." she screamed out and her friends rushed to her. They kept on asking her questions in concern but she couldn't even hear a single thing that they were saying. It kept on going on and on and she closed her eyes trying to ease up the pain. By now, many other students were gathered all around her trying to see what the commission was all about, they kept whispering among their selves wondering what could possibly be wrong with her. On closing her eyes,she saw herself on a completely different place,noo in fact she saw a way younger version of herself... singing a song with a boy who's face wasn't quite visable but she could tell who it was. They were at the beach and their parents went off to buy ice cream for them in a nearby shop.... "Hello" She heard an angelic voice behind her and turned to see another boy who looked a few years older than her...... .... "Hello... " Hello.... That voice kept ringing in her head as she slowly went back to reality, in doing so her headache also slowly started fading away. "What is the matter Karla, you're scaring us right now." she heard Anita's voice ask, clearly filled with concern and fear. "My head it pained me like hell just a few moments ago, surprisingly the pain seems to be subsiding now." She said finally being able to stand up on her own. She looked around and saw many pairs of eyes looking at her and she slowly rolled her eyes. "Nosey brats" she muttered as she saw how much of a crowd had gathered around her. She slowly started walking towards her class and her friends followed just behind her. When they entered the class they found they're history teacher already there about to start with the lectures and they apologized for being late before quickly scurrying away to their respective seats. They teacher finally started with the teaching and Karla's kind slowly drifted away into thoughts as she thought about what had happened earlier on. Why is she having vision about that boy,why now of all times,why did she have to get such a headache just by thinking about him? And most importantly, where is he now? Multiple questions ran through her mind. "Hello ..." that angelic voice, what she would give to hear it all over again, he used to be his one and only..till he disappeared one day, she found it hard to move on without him , especially since she loved him. She always wonder if where ever he is ,does he think about her, does he even remember her or she now just a forgotten memory..... "Karla, I'm asking you a question and it needs to be answered!" Her teachers loud voice brought her back. She jolted out of her thoughts and stared dumbly at him till she remembered that she had been asked a question that she doesn't even know of. " I'm sir, can you please repeat the question? " she asked and her history teacher just sighed. " Nevermind Karla, you don't seem well today ,I think it's best you go to the school clinic" Her teacher said. " But sir I'm feeling just fine now, I don't think that will be necessary." She said " No Karla I insist, and you know what happens when you don't want to listen to me right, do you want detention?" Her teacher asked. Her body instantly shivered at the thought of going to detention, she really hates detention with all her heart especially when it comes to how she'll get forced to read boring books with the book keeper in the library. " Thought as much, now may you please leave I want to continue with my lesson." Said her teacher. She quickly got up and swiftly walked out of class, she walked down the hallway making her way to the school clinic, she was at the door about to knock when she changed her mind and decided to go to the school garden instead, besides, it's not like she's sick anyway. As soon as he entered the garden , shebwas greeted by the pleasant smell of flowers and the heavenly sent of mother nature. She started walking around sniffing on every flowers that she would come across . She came across a particular pretty rose that seemed to stand out the most out of all flowers. It shining ever so brightly in red and it had a tint of black. She instantly liked it right away, surely they won't notice one single missing flower in the garden right? She foolishly tried picking it with her finger and immediately got prickled by it's thorns, her the blood in as it seemed to glow even more after that but she didn't really notice. She then remembered the pocketknife she always has with her for slicing fruits and immediately took it out. She careful removed the thorns of the rose as she didn't want to get prickled by them again. She then measured the desired length of the rose's stem before finally cutting the rose and she took it and went to sit in a nearby chair. Throughout all her little adventure, she was completely unaware of someone else in the garden, silently watching her all this time. "You know, girls shouldn't be going around carrying pocket knives but you sure showed me otherwise today. " She heard a deep voice saying besides her. She instantly recognized the voice and knew that it could only belong to one person. Andrew, one of the most famous basketball players in the whole school. She instantly felt like she was dreaming yet there he was staring straight at her with his deep blue eyes that shine just like the ocean coast. She instantly felt her cheeks flushing red like a tomato. " Uhm hii." She nervously said extending her hand for a handshake which he surprisingly accepted, guess the rumours about him are just lies. "Karla, right? your name is Kalra" and she immediately felt her inner conscience scream, he knows her name, he just said her freaking name, she then shyly nodded and he chuckled. "That's a pretty looking flower you know, it's pretty just like you." he said and she felt herself blushing again. She muttered a thank you and Andrew continued talking. " I didn't think that you out of all people, would be a school bunker ." He said and she immediately defended herself. " I didn't really bunk class I wasn't feeling well and my teacher insisted that I go to the school clinic but I later changed my mind and decided to come here, I didn't know that someone else was already in." She said. Andrew looked at her for a while and found her naiveness rather cute and he then chuckled again. " Hey no need to go all out to defend yourself it okie, I was just surprised seeing someone like you here out of all people, but it's cool. " They chattered for a while and in no time they were chatting like the best of friends, it was like they have known each other for an long time while that wasn't even the case. Karla really liked talking to Andrew and he instant reminded her of his elder brother who went to Chicago to study abroad. "What is going on here?" They both heard a female voice behind them ask, Karla looked behind to see the girl who they were talking about earlier in the bus, dangerously throwing glares at her. If looks could kill she would surely be sit feet underneath the ground by now. "I don't think that it is anything that should concern you Amira." Andrew harshly said. Amira, so that's the bully girls name, what a beautiful name for a bully .. thought Karla. "I think it should Andrew I'm your girlfriend! " Amira spat out in rage. " And we broke up I don't know why it's so hard for you to accept that, and what it's got to do with you that I'm talking to other people, we're just talking, in fact I don't know why I should even be explaining myself to you, like I said we broke up. " he said trying to remain as calm as possible, Karla could feel the tense in the atmosphere building up and she just didn't know what she should do. Andrew slowly turned to her and forced out a smile. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience Karla but can you please kindly excuse us for a second" Andrew ask and Karla was more that happy to do so. "She's not even that pretty." She could hear Amira muttering under her breath and she quickly scurried off, not without hearing the argument that started the minute she left the garden. " I guess I should skip the next class, I mean I'm supposed to be sick anyway " She muttered to herself. She then went to the girls restroom and washed her face since she felt a bit sweaty. "Just exactly who do you think you are!" She looked at the mirror in front of her and sawbAmira standing behind her, god what did she get herself into. She slowly turned and was greeted by a bit slap on her face and before she could get the time to process anything, Amira was already pulling hard on her hair and she could help but to scream and cry. "Who exactly do you think you are huh!" Amira's angry voice thundered. " I don't know what you're you are talking about Amira, nothing happened between me and Andrew, we were really just talking, please let go of my hair " she screamed but Amira turned deaf ears and she devilishly smirked as she threw Karla hard on the tiled floor. "Let's see if he'll think that you're still pretty after I am done with you . " Amira said as she started kicking Karla restlessly so. She kept on kicking on and on , most specifically Karla's face and Karla could feel herself slowly losing her consciousness as the torture kept going on and on. Just when she thought she was done for her eyes slowly turned completely white and she released a very loud scream that sent Amira crashing hard into the bathroom wall causing the wall to fall right on top of her. Just when you think that she was done , a force caused Amira to rise up from the rumble in the air. " " Rip out your heart and eat it." She heard a voice compelling her to do so , and she screamed trying to not allow her hand to go for her heart but it was like she suddenly lost control of her own body and it no longer listened to her as she screaming in pain upon hearing her hand s***h into her own flesh as it slowly ripped out her heart. Blood spilled out of her mouth as she released yet another bloodcurdling scream and she watched herself in the mirror spending her last seconds of life eating out her own heart. She fell down the cold floor with her blood spilled everywhere. Karla finally came back to her original self and was shocked at the sight in front of her, she stumbled and fell right in front of Amira's now dead corpse as she cried, not realizing that by now she had attracted a large crowd of learners staring at her in fear, shock and disbelief as they stared at what she had done. "What have I done, what have I done, I really didn't mean to do any of this." sh silently whimpered as she held Amira's death corpse. By now Andrew himself was now at the scene staring at her in dispelief. "Karla." He lowly called out and she slowly turned to him as she cried even more. "I swear Andrew,I didn't mean to do all this,I don't even know how it happened!" She screamed out in tears and the learners started calling her by different ugly names. " witch..... The devil's wife , Medusa, she's the female version of Satan herself, she should be killed!!" They continually said as Karla continued to cry out. It took a while for Andrew to regain himself but when he did he decided to help Karla especially since he was sure that he is the cause of everything and that all this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the fact that Amira caught him with her and got mad over nothing. He slowly walked towards her not really knowing what be was doing as he wasn't even sure if it is safe to go to her , especially since they all now know what she's capable of. "Karla. " He slowlycalled out to her as he took her in for an embrace. Karla looked at him with her face covered with the bruised that Amira had previously inflicted on her but Andrew instantly noticed something, the bruises, they were healing, at a rapid rate too! " Karla, your bruises are healing" and Karla touched them and indeed they were healing, but that only caused her to sob even more. "Andrew am I a monster, look at what I have done, Go away from me, I might end up hurting you too" She said but Andrew didn't bulge one bit. " You know what this means right? You're not a monster, she provoked you and triggered your powers okay, you'll now just have to go to one of those supernatural institute, listen you're not the one at fault, everyone knows that, they are just too scared to say it. " Be back to life." Karla's compelling voice suddenly spoke to Amira and she immediately rised up coughing... Shocking everyone to the bones even Karla herself. To be continued
