Chapter 8 - Chapter eight

- Good. It's good for him. I got a pretty personal call and learned that I couldn't teach you for about two weeks. The principal hasn't found a replacement yet so you could go out earlier every Monday.

With that, I wish you a good end of the day. he said as he left the class.

All the students were overjoyed. Well me too obviously. Who wouldn't like to finish school earlier without homework for the next day?

Well, since we could go away I was out of high school and I decided not to go directly home.

I wanted to get some fresh air and be alone, it did me a lot of good.

I would take my bike, start pedaling and walk through streets that I didn't know yet.

I had passed in a very small, rather narrow alley and I was dropping two or three coins from my pocket because of the tiny stones on the ground.

I got off the bike to pick them up and lifting my head again, I saw him.

He was there.

He was not alone.

But what was he doing there?

Was I hallucinating or was he with a man who was quite familiar to me?

I had seen him not that long ago anymore.

What? It was not possible.

But yes ! It was the principal!

I was very observant and I was 100% sure that it was the principal of my high school that I was seeing with this guy.

I didn't understand why he was with him and on top of that he was yelling at him.

Suddenly, he had violently taken the collar of his jacket, shouting in his face.

- Isaac, what did I tell you this morning?

What do you mean this morning? He was with him supposedly he was in a hurry ...

You had to believe that I was right to be wary because from the start I did not feel it too much and besides it was always the case.

- Hey answer me! What did I tell you? To keep an eye on her, and what are you doing? You are already starting to look for it. It's really not worthy of you!

I frowned, not really understanding anything of their conversation.

Who was he talking about?

What report Isaac?

What had he done?

I saw Isaac trying to justify himself but I heard absolutely nothing he said other than that.

But hey it was none of my business I should rather leave.

But that was where ...

What ? This man or rather the manager who had attacked Isaac had looked at me.

- What the hell is she doing here ?! he got angry.

They would look at me and start running towards me and that was where I got it.

I understood that they were talking about me, I got on my bike quickly in two steps, three movements and I pedaled very hard to be far enough away from them.

But what did they want from me? What had I done? Was there anything to do with this morning's story? I hadn't killed anyone, what did they all have to be shocked about like that?

In fact, maybe I was having some ideas ... What if they actually weren't talking about me? They just wanted to have a discussion where no one was supposed to hear them that was all!

I didn't know if I was going to tell my mom all this.

I had too many imaginations.

It was possible with all the horror movies I saw ...

Once I got home, I decided not to tell my mother about what had happened and I quickly went up to my room.

I just wanted to forget about that hell of a day so I started listening to music.

I had been wearing my headphones for a good hour.

I hadn't moved an inch, lying on my bed with my eyes closed and pensive about everything I had heard and really didn't understand a thing.

I then took a good shower, I put on my pajamas and suddenly I noticed a Flash.

What was that joke again?

Who could take a picture of me when my room was at the top and under the terrace there was the sea?

Was there anyone in the house?

Once again ?

- Mom !! Liam suddenly shouted panicked.
