CHAPTER FIVE
KYRA
I got home, looking so exhausted and sad. My mind pictured the image of the blood, the horrified look on his face, his groans...............
Was I too harsh??
I didn't even know how it happened.
It was just like a reflex action.
And I just pray I don't get into trouble.
I opened the door of the house and saw Spark, waiting for me at the door. He wagged his tail when he saw me and I knelt down and ruffled his white fur lovingly.
He whined and licked my face with its tongue, like the usual way dogs behaved and I gave a small sad smile.
Dogs are like human. They sense feelings.
Spark whined and rubbed his fur and I hugged him, tears already falling from my eyes.
I'm tired of being scared!
I'm tired of leaving my life in fright, pain!!
I'm tired of being lonely!!
But no!!
This is the life I have to live. And maybe, live this life forever!!
HAYDEN
"Hayden!! I said, who did this to you"?? Marco asked for the hundredth time and I sighed, looking pissed.
"How many times will I have to tell you, it was the door to the bathroom"! I half yelled and winced when the nurse tried cleaning my wound with a cotton bud, soaked in iodine solution.
"Is it Mark?? Did he do this to you"? Marco asked again. I could sense the growing anger in his voice.
"No Marco, he didn't do anything to me". I replied, gazing at the wound as the nurse bandaged my wrist.
"The hell mehn"!!!
Richard yelled angrily.
"Are you trying to cover up for him or you are just scared. Tell me"!! Richard growled angrily.
"I said it wasn't him mehn!! He didn't do it"! I yelled back, obviously frustrated at their constant nagging.
"If he did I would have just said so!! I have no reason to cover up for him neither do I have to be scared of him"! I said, getting pissed.
I hissed when I felt the stinging pain in my wrist.
Thank goodness the wound wasn't deep, it was just a scratch but it was still deep. I was glad that the cut didn't touch my veins.
Richard ruffled his hair, obviously angry.
"I'm sorry bro! Sorry for yelling at you. I was just concerned"! Richard said apologetically and I smiled.
"It's okay mehn"! I said and he Pat me at the back.
"But if we find out that Mark was the one who did this, we will beat him to death"! Marco said.
I furrowed my brows and stared at Marco. I looked at Richard and I saw him nodded in approval.
"Seriously"??? I scoffed.
"We are dead serious bro"!! Richard replied and I rolled my eyes and brought out the necklace from my pocket and stared at it.
The necklace had fell from her bag as she rushed out of the class.
I had grabbed my bag quickly and picked up the necklace so that I could give it to her but I couldn't find her.
I had ran through the hallway, in search of her and I found her, in the middle of the crowds, walking briskly towards the girls restroom.
So I decided to wait for her until she was done so that I could give her the necklace and maybe, get to know her.
But it turned out pretty bad!!
She pierced me with a pocket knife!
And that made me wonder.
Did she always go everywhere with a pocket knife?
What was she doing with a pocket knife?
Did she think I was trying to harm her?
Why did she looked so scared?
She is so weird!!!
"What is that"? Marco asked, raising his brows up.
"Uhmmmm, it's a necklace"! I replied, still staring at it.
It was a bead necklace, made with tiny white shining beads.
It looks ancient!!
The door burst open and I looked up to see who had come in.
Oh!!
Astrid!!
What the hell is she doing here??
She gasped when she sighted my bandaged wrist.
"Oh Hayden!! What happened to you? Who did this to you"? She fussed and walked towards me, hugging me so tight.
I rolled my eyes and glared hard at Marco and Richard as they tried to muffle their laugh.
"Uhmmmmmm, Astrid, you are hugging me too tight"! I said with difficulty and she quickly withdrew.
"I'm so sorry Hayden! I was just so worried! One of the boys had told me you were here and I had to come quickly". She said and I sighed.
Someone please get this girl out of here!!!!
"Who did this to you? Who did it happen"? She said as she tried to hold my wrist and I quickly withdrew my wrist from her grasp.
"It's just the door of the bathroom. I'm fine now". I replied, giving her a faux smile and she smiled back.
"Just be careful next time okay"? She said, rubbing her thumb on my cheek and I smiled and gently pulled her hand away.
"I'm okay Astrid. Thank you for coming"! I said to her and she shifted arkwardly.
"Uhmmmm, I'll be going now, see you tomorrow and get better soon"! She said and I sent a small smile at her.
"I will"! I replied
Then she did the unexpected!!!
She pulled towards me and placed a peck on my cheek.
I was stunned. What was that for?
She gave me a filrty wink and walked out of the ward.
I frowned. I turned to look at Marco and Richard and they both tried to muffle their laughter as they turned their face away..
"Douchebags"!! I muttered, a big scowl on my face.
***************************************
KYRA
I sat down on my seat and placed my backpack on my desk.
I had gone straight to bed yesterday. I was so sad and tired that my auntie had to serve me upstairs in my room.
The incident kept playing in my mind like a video.
Suddenly, the door opened and he walked in.
Yeah, he walked in with a bandaged wrapped around his hands and for a moment, I felt guilty.
He ran his eyes through the class and our eyes met.
I averted my gaze and picked up my bag and began to search.
What was I even searching for??
I don't even know!!!
Then, Mr Stone walked up to the class, dropping his laptop on the front desk.
"Good morning class"! He greeted, his cold stoned gaze on all of us.
"Morning Mr Stone"! The class replied.
"I hope you've all done my assignment"? He asked and the class began to murmur.
"Logan, please go round the class and collect the notes". Mr Stone said to a boy sitting in front of him.
I began to search my bag for my notebook.
I was so confident that it was there, bit when I had searched through my bag and could not find it, my heart skipped a beat.
Where is my note?
I had remembered that I placed it back in my bag yesterday when I was through with the assignment, so where was it??
I pulled out all my books from my bag and began to search for it.
But yet, I couldn't find it!!
What happened to my note??
"Submit your note". I heard someone say beside me.
I turned to look and found the Logan guy, staring at me, waiting patiently for me to give him my notebook.
I stared at him and looked at my bag worriedly.
Where is my note???
