Chapter 5: Dark nights, Strange days

...

"Stare at the dark too long and you will eventually see what isn't there"....

....

My eyes slowly drifted to something, as fear clenched on my soul a whole lot tighter than before, as I slowly look at the blurry thing

An object, a figure, a dark silhouette..... I really don't know what it was, as I slowly moved forward, with beams of sweat around my forehead to have a closer at the object....

That I presumed to be a threat and danger, only to discover a note?, that was glued firmly on the fridge written in red..

"Blood?" I thought for a brief moment as my heart flew to my mouth, without wasting any more time to open the letter, as my eyes quickly glued on the content.....

I read the letter out loud numerous times with doubt and worry in my heart as I tried examining if the writing were actually the same as that of my aunt's..

Before finally calming down slowly, as a calm wave of relief and peace wash through me, only to turn to anger the second later...

"Damn!" I yelled out, angrily staring at the note...

"She could have asked me to come along, I would have been a good girl" I mumbled under my breath, before immediately exploding in laughter...

Cause I knew too well that even though I felt offended because she had made me get tensed over nothing, the truth was that she was actually right, I hate people and going to a house warming, just not my thing...

I thought with a little grin on my face, as I took a waffle and headed straight to my room, immediately hopping on the now neatly arranged bed, obviously my aunt's handiwork...

Before surfing through the internet, searching for possible location of those bastards, I unfortunately have to call grandparents could possibly be hiding from me...

But disappointed as usual, I found no clue, as I threw my laptop to the corner of the bed frustratedly...

Only to eventually end up picking it back, before I slowly drifted away into my bitter history, that I frustratedly always keep on dreaming about...

.....

The next day was school obviously and as per my custom, I lazily stood up from my bed, to go to that darn hell once again...

Not like I wanted to, cause literally, I could have just ditch that scum school today, cause duh!, Aunt was gone, but sadly fear and curiosity got the better of me...

Cause as much as I hate to admit it, I was somehow always pissed off with myself, everytime I make aunt scold me and today I was determined not to get into trouble with her....

Like seriously, if she ends up coming back earlier than I thought today, then I would be completely done for, my ears would bleed from the endless scolding...

And also curiosity got the better of me, cause as strange as i really don't understand...

I couldn't help but to feel so curious to know if that chicken blondie would eventually heed to my threat, finally stop pissing me off and just stay away from me...

Or if I would just end up using my fist this time around to get him to listen, either way, I just couldn't change how I strangely feel..

Cause deep down, I really do pray that he rebels against me, cause if he stupidly do, then I would finally have a punching bag today, Wipee!....

I thought happily, as I made my way to the bathroom to have a quick shower, before lazily putting on a tight leather black pant and a crop top, cause literally my stomach needs it freedom as well...

I put on a crop top, that brought out my damn curves, as I looked at my reflection on the mirror from head to toe, smiling confidently, before straighten my black hair to fall down straighten, like a boss lady that I am...

After I was done with my looks, my bag was my next problem, without fooling around any longer..

I headed out of the room, quickly searching for where on earth my sneaky bag could possibly be, only to eventually find it after 30 minutes of endless search, before stripping it tightly around me, as I made my way, already so darn late for school..

But literally I really didn't give a damn about that, cause i can do whatever I want, try stopping me and I'll kill you mercilessly...

I grinned confidently as I finally made my way into the school, luckily only a few minutes before the darn doors are finally closed.

"You're late and am surprised" A man voice yelled, bringing me out of my rare happy thoughts, as I quickly turned around, before glaring coldly at him angrily....

"Why don't you just shut up and do your work, alright" I yelled back glaring at him disgustingly, as I walked pass him with my mood already ruined again, before he could even think of mustering courage to say anything else....

Pff pathetic, I mumbled under my breath, as I boldly stepped into my darn class, quickly drifting my eyes around the awful class, searching for that dummy blondie to mock today, but disappointedly he was no where to be found....

Gosh, where on earth did that chicken run off to now" I thought frustratedly as I pressed my lips together in disappointment, cause now there wouldn't be any one to lash out all my anger and frustration to today...

Damnit, I mumbled under my breath angrily...

"Where's the blondie" I said, looking at mr Eugene, my science teacher, still so frustrated with everything...

"Excuse me?" He blurted out, staring at me in both anger and confusion, pissing me off the more ..

"Gosh, Don't you have brains at all" I yelled out, as I kept on glaring at him angrily...

"I mean, why is that blondie, Damn, what's his name again" I said, as I bowed my head down, thinking carefully...

"Ah-ha Charles...no Charlie, where on earth is he" I asked curiously, staring straight into the already angry teacher eyes....

"Excuse me?" He said, staring at me angrily with grit teeth, as I squeezed my lips in anger....

"Oh Gosh, would you just quit saying "Excuse me" over and over again and just answer my question" I yelled out angrily, already losing my cool, as i watch him slowly trying to control his anger..

"He's not present in school today" He blurted out, still staring straight into my eyes, obviously trying so hard to hide his anger, but the only one irritated here was me...

"Yeah I can clearly see he isn't present, duh?" I said irritatedly giving the teacher a stupid look...

"So where the fuck is he" I repeated still staring at him frustratedly, already becoming so impatient...

"His father is sick, so he had to take him to the hospital" Mr Eugene answered reluctantly, still looking at me disgustingly, but I cared less cause now I already gotten all the information I needed ..

"Bummer" I mumbled disappointedly, as I placed my hand on his shoulder, already lost in thoughts....

"Would you just take your hand off me, This is so inappropriate of you Miss ivy, For goodness sake the whole class is staring" He yelled out, staring at me with grit teeth, slowly bringing me back to life, as I fix my gaze back at him...

"Whoa!, chillax old timer, There's really no need to get all worked up, I really didn't realize it" I said, grinning stupidly at his already boiling red look, but all he did was keep on glaring at me angrily, as I slowly take my hand off his shoulder

"Well..... I guess you want me to sit down now" I said, looking away immediately, as I tried so hard to hide my laughter, but I could see that he already noticed, as his face squeezed in anger once again...

"Just get out of my front, before I end up breaking the rules by slapping you" He roared angrily, as I bursted out laughing, looking at the ridiculous look on his angry face...

"Okay okay chill, I will go and have a sit" I blurted out as I tried calming down, as the smile quickly vanished on my face, before slowly coming closer to him, as I brought my lips right on his ears...

"And oh, just for the record, if you had slapped me, I would have slapped you twice as hard, cause I really don't give a shit"...

I whispered into his ear, before drifting back, as I glared at him one last time irritatingly, before finally having my sit, as anger slowly flushed through me once again...

Damn!, I mumbled, angrily cursing under my breath, as I sat down, hitting my little locker frustratedly..

So I really got no one to lash out my anger to today, I thought angrily, with a big frown on my disappointed face...

"His father is sick, so he had to take him to the hospital" The voice echoed on my head over and over again, as I squeezed my face angrily...

Gosh why does this affect me so darn much, I mumbled to my already confused frustrated self..

Something is definitely missing, why does his father damn illness seems like a big blow on my chest...

Why! I practically yelled out on my mind, before my eyes slowly drifted up by the sound of footsteps on the floor....

"Eh hem" The deep voice said, as I slowly brought my clouded mind out of my thoughts, raising up my frustrated face only to see that dumb teacher standing right in front of me with a blank expression on his pathetic face...

"God, What now" I ask, staring at him so irritatedly....

"At least for the love of God, please pay attention to what I am teaching or you will never graduate out of here" He roared with a mixture of concern and anger, as I rolled my eyes at him, still so irritated...

"Whatever" I said, staring at him, still so uninterested in anything he actually just wasted his time spitting out, cause literally I didn't wanted to be in this school at the first place...

I thought angrily as my eyes slowly drifted up to the man still rooted irritatedly on the spot....

"Damn, are you really going to stand there staring at me all day long or do your job" I spat out, looking away angrily, as I could feel his footstep slowly backing away, to presume the teaching that I sadly listened to with half attention, cause my mind was literally so far away.....
