Chapter 10 - Eyes

The day goes by without anything differently. At the afternoon i feel myself getting more tired than I was a hour ago and slowly close my eyes. When I have closed them and am almost fast asleep, someone knocks on the door.

"Come in" i say while I try finding my phone. Without looking up, I hear the door open and close. I feel eyes looking at me in silence while I dig up my phone from my bag that's on the floor. Whoever those eyes belong to doesn't move and either does this person say anything. But a voice deep inside me tells me that it's Alaric so I continue searching for my phone.

Then I feel the sparks again and an cozy chill runs down my spine as I find my phone and as fast as I can look up. The first thing I see are golden eyes. Golden as pure gold. I zoom out my vision and see the whole body of this person standing almost too close to me. It's Alaric... but didn't he have blue eyes?

As always I, we don't say a word. I slightly move my hand as if I can't stand it when I don't touch him, my fingertips touch his chin. This slight touch makes me want to touch him even more.

He puts his palm on my chin and slowly starts bending down while I move my body up. Our heads touch and we just keep staring into each other's eyes. I lick my lips and slightly open them, as i do he bends down even more. Our lips almost touch, i feel his breath, smell his breath. it smells like mint and chocolate. Just as I´m about to move in for a kiss, he moves away and leaves. I see the door open and close. I feel my face burn up and see myself blushing on the black laptop screen in front of me. Just as that i stand up without a glimpse of what to do now.

That shouldn't have happened. This is moving too fast for me. I put my phone back inside my bag and lift it up from the floor. Close my laptop and take the keys on the table in my hand only to notice a yellow note. My curiosity takes the best of me and I pick the yellow note up inside my hand.

"Met me next to the register at 8pm today, I'll be waiting." I read it out loud and see the little heart at the right corner next to a name, Alaric.

As I'm about to stand up, my head starts to hurt really bad and a voice inside me tells me to run. To run for my life and never look back. I try to ignore it but can't. As I sit down, the next second I hear a glass shatter and an arrow flys inside landing on my table. If I was still standing up I would be shot right where my heart is.

A cold fear makes my headache stronger and I almost pass out. Slowly I get under the table and get thankful to the big chair that saved me from the glass shatters. My fingers are getting cold and my eyes start swelling up by every second. I scared.

Why is this happening to me? What have I ever done wrong? Someone please tell me who and why am I targeted like this!
