I took another step back as he stood up, I felt the wall closing in as he walked towards me, blood dripping down the side of his head, I thought I was taking steps back but it felt like I wasn't, his eyes remained on mine and he eventually walked past me who shrieked and braced myself for impact, it took seconds for me to move and ended up running out of the library to my work place.
I had finished my shift and sat to eat, which was on the house, I stared at the burger, Kairo immediately coming to mind, I smiled at the memory, he had taken me out along with his best friend jude, jude is a nice guy that stayed glued to kairos's side, they fit each other, nice, soft spoken and the perfect gentlemen, we all questioned why burger was invented to be stacked that way and how difficult it is to eat having to open the mouth super wide, I smiled and took a bite, I felt a lump in my throat and frowned, the tightness of my chest, I sniffed.
"What's the tears for?" I mumbled, almost pouting. It's not like I have anyone to pat my hair and tell me it will be fine. I someone managed to finish my food and headed to my room. There, I met my roommate and 2 other girls going through my clothes.
"Why are you doing that?" I asked, watching the girls one after the other, 1 gave me a once over. She looked perfect, insanely pretty, and I swallowed.
"Why are you overreacting over some rags?" She questioned, and I frown.
"They are not much but still my personal belongings. It's not right that you go through them," I said as nicely as I could, and she scoffed.
"What's not right is sharing the same space as" she paused and gestured to me in entirety.
"Whatever it is you are," she smiled, and I nodded, looking down. It felt like high school all over again.
"Nova sinclair," she introduced.
"Aria Lin," I whispered, and she raised her brow.
"Aria lin?" She questioned with a frown, and I nod, she narrowed her eyes at me before turning to one of the girls.
"I will be in my room, can't stand whatever this is" she mumbled grabbing her phone and matching head set, bumping into me on her way out, I rubbed my shoulder and went to rearrange my stuff.
It took a whole week for me to take courage and follow him, he had showed up at the cafe I worked everyday for the past 7 days, he would just stare and when I meet his eyes, he'll just walk away, so I followed him, it's like he vanished, I wanted to ask what his problem was but I couldn't see him, I turned around and screamed as he was right there behind me, I leaned back, ready to move away from him. I forgot why I stepped out, what I wanted to say as his presence was intimidating and overpowering.
"Why...
"Zayden? Babe?" It was nova, she rushed and threw herself at him, his expression didn't change from blank, he didn't hold her back and kept his stare on me, I swallowed.
"Next time, don't follow ghost, they might hunt you back" he said before pulling away from nova, he finally acknowledged her with even colder glare and warning before walking away, she turned to me with a smirk.
"You don't want to start this," she said before walking after him or was it the direction he went. I finally inhaled and went back in, what he said ringing in my ear, and I promised myself to stay away from him.
