Chapter 56 - Dirty Tricks

It's such a great day. The clear blue sky looked mesmerising as the sun shines above it. The almost cold wind gently howls above the trees reminding that the seasons are changing. Summer is indeed going to be over soon.

A soft piano tune started to play and intensifies. Audrey reached for her phone and swiped her finger down on the screen without looking, turning her alarm off.

She slowly looked at her phone and immediately saw that there's already a message from Aiden.

It says, "Good morning my panda. Did you sleep well?" With a smiling emoji at the end.

A smile automatically appeared onto her face. She then replied and said, "Good morning to you too. Yeah. I slept very well. I guess I had a good dream I just couldn't remember what it is. How was your sleep?"

"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to sleep at all."

"What? Why??" She asked as she felt a little worried.

"You kept me awake."

"Huh? How come? I'm pretty sure I fell asleep immediately."

"I just couldn't get you off of my mind that's why I ended up thinking about you all night long."

"Geez! It's so early in the morning and you're already starting to tease me!"

"Ha ha ha, I'm just trying to make sure that you're already awake and won't go back to sleep or you'll be late."

"Yeah, yeah. Thank you very much panda! I'm very wide awake now."

"Great. See you later then?"

"See you later."

Audrey readied herself for school in a jolly manner feeling inspired. She even washed the dishes that Levi had left undone without being asked for he's still preparing breakfast.

"You're acting suspicious." Levi said as he put the plate of bacon and scrambled eggs on the table.

"How so?"

"You're just too jolly today."

"Really? Hmm, maybe I had nice dream yesterday."

"That's good then. You've been really looking so bothered the past few weeks."

"Sorry to worry you."

Levi gave a sweet smile and said as he pat Audrey's head, "Just tell me if you have a problem or anything okay? I'm always here for you."

"Okay."

Feeling really positive she went to school feeling like she can conquer anything today. It's also a good thing that she's arriving early unlike before. No more special projects for her then.

Kylie saw Audrey looking really blooming. She can't help not to compliment her by greeting her with a wide smile.

"Good morning Audrey dear! You look like you wake up on right side of the bed today. That's good."

"Morning Kylie doo." She sat on her chair.

"What's up? You seemed to be in a good mood today?"

"Nothing much. I just..." Her sentence was cut short when she saw Aiden and Angela arrived together.

She's used on seeing the two arriving to school together now. They even eat and leave at the same time. It's like Angela had glued herself to him which he Aiden dislikes for it's clear as a day that he doesn't like her making him look like she's his baby sitter or something.

Aiden's eyes met Audrey's as he's nearing on his seat. When he passed her, he smiled at her and said with a husky voice, "Morning panda."

A sweet cunning smile appeared on to her face as if she's trying her hardest not to make it too obvious that somehow, she felt a quick adrenaline rushed on to her.

She saw Angela's bitter expression afterwards which she didn't mind. It's always like that anyways whenever Audrey tries to approach Aiden or he approaching her. She tends to pull him away from her telling her to keep off. It's no use though.

With the tactic that Angela's currently using she felt like though she's doing all the offensive attacks she felt like there's not enough fire power to take Audrey down. She's slowly losing.

The day has come to end and Audrey decided to not wait for her brother for he still needed to go to some meeting at school.

Her house is not that far anyway so she decides to stroll around before heading home. She went at a nearby convince store to buy ice cream.

She sat on the chair inside and started enjoying her snack but somehow, she felt like she was being stared at by someone.

So, she looked around to see if there's anyone suspicious and he found none. She let the incident go and went straight home afterwards.

This is making her feel restless now. It's been a couple of days and she's already 60% sure that she's been followed.

She's confident herself that she can take down whoever is tailing her for her brother thought her enough moves for self defense. And besides, she brought a pepper spray which she can use.

Her stalker seemed to be not Mike because he looked like he already gave up though. She then decided to go in circles around the neighborhood thinking that she'll lose her stalker but instead, she ended up getting lost instead.

Determined that she can still go home, she took her phone out of her pocket to open her GPS but it was shut down. She remembered that she forgot to charge her phone earlier today.

She looked around hoping to find someone that she can ask for direction but she saw none which made her feel terrified.

Now that she's lost and that her stalker might still be possibly somewhere and is following her, she walked fast that almost looks like she's running.

It's getting darker now and she finally reached the main road. It made her realize that she'd walked for a while now and is getting tired. She then sat at the waiting shed of a bus stop as she catches her breath.

She's now determined that her stalker had lost track of her. But just as when she thought that she can go home it turned out that she can't. This day just don't want to end easily.

"Oh no." She said as she looks at her purse and saw that she doesn't have enough money to go home. She already knows the way so she can walk but is afraid that she may encounter her stalker again.

"Hey."

All of a sudden somebody spoke behind her. She felt chills running through her spine thinking that it might be her stalker.

So, before she turned around, she readied her fist and is about to punch the face of whoever is behind her but was suddenly stopped when she saw who it was.

"Pierre?"
