Chereads / LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS / Chapter 5 - HOW ARE YOU

Chapter 5 - HOW ARE YOU

"How do you know Noha and what the hell happened between you?" Britani asks.

We managed to take refuge from the uncomfortable stares in the bathrooms.

"He helped me that day while he escaped from Eric, I just wanted to thank him and it was very I see zero, I should have listened to Abel and not go near him," he explained.

Britani looks at me very thoughtfully.

Britani "what exactly did Abel tell you?"

Nalla "who was not a good person and had a very bad reputation."

Britani shakes her head.

"Noha was very different before, he was our friend, but something happened that caused him and Abel to hate each other, but he is not a bad boy, today it was really strange he had not reacted to what you did to him, however he attacked you, to His way of course, "says my friend causing much more curiosity in me.

"What was it that made it so?" I ask.

"It is not important, it will be better if we go back to class, today has been a long day to forget it. I invite you to eat, the boys also want to go."

He leaves me alone without even giving me time to respond, I suppose I must distract myself. I continue the rest of the day as if nothing had happened, the glances and the murmurings of the people around me make it annoy me a bit, but even so I decide to continue with my day.

I'm going to the exit, I have to wait for Britani and the boys here to eat, it's been a long and tiring day.

"oh the lucky girl, you soon forget about Eric," Evelin is right in front of me.

She wears her hair down and a fair red dress.

"What do you want Evelin?" I ask annoyed.

Laugh like a witch.

"Nothing is just that you are the new attraction in this place," he says with a wink.

I feel steps behind me and a voice confirms who it is.

"Stay away from her witch," Britani intervenes.

"Sorry dear, but we're taking her," Richard says as he puts his arm around me.

Evelin "calm down, I just came to warn you of what they say about your dear love."

I feel Richard tense and discomfort creeps into the rest of the boys.

Evelin shows me her cell phone with a video which I don't hesitate to open, it's me and Noha kissing, that doesn't surprise me but the comment about the video, "Noha Cullen's next victim" First of all I'm surprised that it's Cullen and why they refer to me as a victim.

Darian takes the phone from me and hands it back to Evelin.

Darian "don't listen to that stupid thing, we better go starving."

We walk in silence to the nearest cafe, everyone is uncomfortable and distant, Richard is the worst distracted.

Richar, "You guys know, I won't be able to go forget to do something."

Richard leaves in a hurry. We arrive at the place where Lory and Abel are waiting for us, after a few minutes laughing and eating and we are all more relaxed.

"Now I'm back," he informs Britani who won't stop laughing.

I go into the bathroom and turn on my cell phone, I look for today's video and I start to read all the comments, there is one that particularly catches my attention, "poor girl, history repeats itself."

What story? I can't understand anything, I just get more confused and can't find the reason for all this. I come out of the bathroom but bump into someone, it's Abel.

Abel, "I'm sorry to scare you, I just wanted to talk to you alone."

Nalla, "sure, you can talk."

"I imagine this is all quite difficult for you, so I was thinking that you might like to take a walk later than you think."

I will not refuse to be a good friend and a night walk will do me good, also Abel may be the only one who clears my doubts.

"Clear." I say smiling.

Just when we are going to meet with the others Abel bumps into a boy.

"Look where you're walking stupid," Abel yells at him.

His character helps me a lot. I always thought he was a kind boy but that was not kind at all. The boy reacts with fear, he wears a sweater with the University coat of arms, he is red-haired, thin and small, he wears glasses and his gaze is somewhat lost.

I return to my room alone, I must arrive in time to go for a walk with Abel but still I decide to detour, I enter the pool area and I sit on the edge of it I have many thoughts in my head right now.
