When I was out of the door I looked around in the corridor and then I saw her looking further down the corridor. I ran to her pushing through the mob of people. I then caught up to her holding her arm to stop her. She then suddenly stopped then turned around facing me.
" Kara please, talk to me." I pleaded
" Let go Tiff." she retaliated
" Not until you talk. I won't leave you." I pleaded.
" Well then since you're pretty determined let's talk," she said.
She led me into an empty classroom and then closed the door. She sat on top of a desk facing me.
" Look, I didn't want to be part of this but I got involved in any way because of you," she said
" Part of what and what are you talking about? Why me?" I asked
"It's because of you. Justin told me to search and investigate you. He kept telling me to do so and it was bothering me very much. I don't like to do such things but I just couldn't stop. I didn't want to seem like I wasn't on his side in case he became suspicious or something. It's because of you Tiff, you are the reason why this is happening. And I don't want any part of it and that means I don't want to be part of your life anymore." she explained
" Dude wait, you can't say that," I complained
" I've made my decision. Goodbye Tiff," she said
" So, you just going to leave and not let me speak? What about me, I don't want the friendship to end." I complained
" Well, I guess we can't help it. It has to be this way for the sake of both of us," she Spoke
" Tell me the truth Kara, what are those things Justin is looking for? What does he want from me? I'm nothing special." I asked
" That is the thing, Tiff, I don't know what he wants and I don't like to be kept in the dark. Find out for yourself. He's pretty shaken though. When I'm doing this, I get a cold fear in my body like something is warning me to get away so I am getting away. I don't want to talk about this. Bye Tiff." she said then she left.
I sat in the classroom contemplating what she just told me. This made me even more curious. I'm going to find out what Justin is up to. I went outside of the classroom to go to my next class which I'm pretty sure I am late. I hope the teacher forgives me this time. I quickly walked to my next class and opened the door expecting a teacher to be inside but luckily for me, he wasn't there yet. I went to my seat and then took out my book to find something to get my mind off the issue. Soon enough the teacher came.
Soon enough classes ended for the day and I'm back to zero with no friends. I'm extroverted so I'm pretty sure I would make new friends. I mean this is not the end of the world anyway just another Tuesday for me. First things first I need to find out what they're up to why they are, why they're stalking me. Tomorrow after class I
will interrogate Justin.
I went home at the end of classes. Reaching home and opening the door, found Grey nowhere to be seen. I went to the kitchen and then found Nancy there.
" hey" I greeted
" Hey Tiffany" she greeted back
" Where is Grey," I asked
"He's in his room sleeping," she replied
I went to his room to check on him. I opened the door and there he was sleeping soundly on his bed. I went and then properly covered his blanket on him giving him a forehead kiss. I quickly went out and closed the door going back to the kitchen.
" I just checked on him and he's okay."
" Okay. I will be leaving now," she said
" Okay then," I replied.
After she left, I made a snack and then went to watch TV. Later in the evening, I made dinner. Soon after Grey woke up and then came downstairs to have dinner. Sometime during the night, there were strong winds. It seemed like a storm was coming.
"Tiff I'm scared," he said as he clings to my side.
" Don't worry buddy, it'll be alright," I assured him.
Later he went to bed and I stayed by his side until he slept. Soon enough I went to my room to sleep. Tomorrow is another day and I hope everything will be okay. The following day I woke up early to prepare for Grey and school. By the time I was done, Nancy came through the door.
" Oh, you are here, good. I was just about to leave for school." I Spoke
" Yes, but how are you?" she greeted
" I'm fine. Just anxious for another day." I replied
"Well not to worry I'll be here," she reassured me.
" Thanks," I spoke
I quickly said my goodbyes to Grey and then left for school.
Reaching School, I went towards my locker through the corridor. There were many people today how is it that I was not very early today? Anywho, I took my books needed for classes today then went my way to the classroom. On my way, I spotted Justin and his friends. I will make sure I find him after class today. I need answers. Them acting weird and targeting me was bothering me already. If he wants to fight then he should just come. I know I'm a good fighter.
The first class was with Mr. Hastings. He taught history and was very good at it. Because of this, I have always liked history. As expected, Justin and his friends came through the door a bit later after class started annoying Mr. Hastings.
" You are late Mr. Bradford," he stated
" Well aware of that. No need to point it out." Justin replied
The class snickered. " Just take a sit and stop disturbing my class," he sighed
" Sure." Justin and his friends went to their respective places then class started.
Soon enough all four morning periods ended and we went to the cafeteria for lunch. I was in the line to receive food and saw Justin getting up from his table and coming my way. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't come my way. I mean why? I focused on receiving my food. A moment later someone nudged my shoulder. I looked to see who it was. Surprise! sure it was none other than Justin himself. I give him a curious look.
" Follow me let's talk," he said as he grabbed my hand pulling me. I removed my hand from his grasp.
" No. I don't want to." I replied
" Just come." he pressed
"Dude, I just wanna eat. Man!" I complained.
I said i wanted to come to the end of this issue but I didn't say I wanted to sacrifice my lunch break for it!
I unwillingly followed him. We went to the back of the school where I found his friends waiting.
Reaching there I asked him, "What do you want?
" How about you tell us what you're up to nowadays," he said
"Oh? Are you interested in me now? Do you like have a crush on me or something? You wanna ask me on a date?" I mocked him
"What? No. You know what I mean." he said
" What the hell do you mean by that?" I asked being annoyed
" Are you involved in some shits we don't know about?" he asked
" I am always involved in some shitty stuff because of you guys. What's there to ask?" I replied
" Just answer the question and we will leave you in peace."
" How about you reply to my question? Tell me Justin, why are you so curious to investigate about me? Did someone promise you something in return? Answer me!" I pressed
" Nobody!" he yelled getting pretty angry quickly.
" Tell me! I want to know quickly because I'm hungry. Remember you guys dragged me out of the cafeteria bringing me to this nothingness."
" I don't think this will work out. Do you want us to finish her?" one of his guys spoke.
I looked at them with surprise.
" Yes, finish her." he gives them permission
Okay that's it I'm out of here. I turn my heel to run only to slam into one of the body.
" You think you can run away?" the person I slammed into asked with a smirk on his face.
I turned my heel to run the other way but I was met with several people. I was cornered. I hate being cornered. They were closing in when I kicked the person behind me making them fall. That gave me space to run. Before I could cover any ground I felt a hand grab to my ankle making me fall face down in the dirt. It was a painful impact and I think I might have bitten my lip upon the impact. I kicked them in the face making them loosen their hold on me. I quickly got up but I was met with a kick in the stomach. I coughed up profusely holding my stomach. They kept kicking wherever.
"Enough!" Justin commanded. "Now talk or we will beat you up until you bleed." He told me.
Meanwhile, I was frustrated and all the emotions I kept during the terrible day came rushing to me all at once. I was angry, disappointed, and tired and after this beating I got I couldn't take any more.
"Since you don't want to talk, we will finish you up and maybe when you get home you will think about it." He said as his friends started closing up on me again.
A growl escaped my throat as I got up. I suddenly knew where everybody was, which one moved first and my hearing sharpened. I quickly kicked the one who was coming behind me in the leg breaking it in the process. They fell with a terrible cry. The others became too stunned to proceed and kept looking at the one on the ground wailing.
"What are you waiting for? Get her!"
