I was so excited about meeting lynx parents but at the same time anxious to know what they'll think of me.
So I decided to talk to my mom the night after the party to know what she taught of me going over to his house.
She had just serving dinner at the dining and we were about eating the salad she had prepared I immediately cut in with my questions before she could even take a bite.
'' mom I'm going over to lynx place, he invited me after the party but I want to know what you think''. I asked my mom.
'' I think you should go, bringing this issue up while eating definitely means you're eager to go see him ''.Mrs. Kate responded back
''what if his parents don't like me, my hair or the way I look?
'' I can tell that you like him really much, he didn't care about your hair or glasses so why would his parents care less ,all that matters right now is he likes you and you do too as well''.
'I'm grateful mom, thanks for always being there''.
'' I know not having a father around is really hard but I'll do anything to fill in his space.
DOOR BELL RINGS AT 3:30 PM ON A TUESDAY EVENING
''whose at the door? Lynx asked
(Opens up the door and embraces me)
''I'm so glad that you could make it by the way you're looking really beautiful, please do come in''.
''whoa!, lynx your house is beautiful ,I've never seen anything like it before'' I said while lustfully starring at his house
'' thank you, let's go over to the dining table, my parents are seated and eager to meet you.
Lynx held my hands and assured me all will be well as was showing me around his father's mansion
My heart was in my mouth as were already approaching the dining table''
'' mom and dad meet Bella''.
''good evening sir and good evening ma'am, nice to meet ma'am .I've heard so much about you and your books ,artworks .it's really nice to finally meet you."I greeted with a warm smile.
'' who is this hooligan son? Looking at him with utter disgust.
'' mom she was the girl I told you about, I asked to dance with me at the ball''.
''she's a walking dead, don't be stupid, people like this look for every opportunity to steal from rich people like us''.
''mom you're being very insensitive, dad say something, don't just sit there!'' he said Looking at his father who was seated beside his mom.
''honey that's a very impolite way to talk to our guest, you could do your son a huge favor and be a little more nice'' .Mr. Norman opted.
'' I'm sorry Bella ,please take a seat while you tell me little more about yourself, where are your parents ,where do you live and what do they do for a living? Mr norman asked.
'' my dad is late, he died when I was a little girl, my mom works two jobs as a nurse and a waitress''.
''pathetic! , She sneered while squeezing her nose
''I couldn't stand the taunting any longer, so I hung my bag getting ready to leave''.
''have a nice day lynx; I'm so sorry for the inconvenience I must have caused you, see you at school.
As I was about leaving Mrs Brenda noticed the bracelet I was putting on.
''wait girl, what a beautiful bracelet you have there can I take a look?
I held it as tight as I could and ran out through the door.
"good bye lynx". I bolted out of tge house before the tears welling up in my eyes comes rushing down.
Lynx mom was so judgemental it hurt my pride just because I was wearing such a simple outfit or an average home didn't mean I wasn't deserving of being a friend of lynx.
"I hate my life "I mumbled to my self while dragging my self home.
After I got home I sat on my favorite grey couch scrolling through my deeds on different social media handles to take my self out of my mystery.
The moon shine lightly through the open morden styled window and landed in my cheek brightly shinning on my pale face from crying too much.
"This person has tormented hidden ville city.
After hearing the said words by the feme anchor on the TV screen ,I sat up quickly in a more concentrated position now paying attention to the TV. I watched a lot of news channel s the ones aired on El, Salvador where I currently lived in hidden ville city.
I tensed up patiently wanting to know more.
"there are currently no leads on the dead bodies found and the dead bodies found in the city was just piling up with no connection between the victims.
Surprisingly, another body was found in the back street dealer road where i was laying unconscious some months back.
I curiously focused on the words and red flash in the tv which are psychologically attracting a part of my brain ,the trick that the news often used .
"The similarities of the dead victim's mode of disappearance made the CSI detective thinking this is indeed a case of a serial killer and finally admitting to our reporters at the scene yesterday that that they think this is a one man attack and that he might be a man.
"The killer left his signature mark on each of the victims,with number of taunting notes sent to the CSI investigating officer who were Mr norman,lynx father .
Sometimes the note were laid to the dead bodies "I minced at those words still deep in thought with my eyes glued in front of me.
"They're signature mark is a smiley face carved with a sharp knife or matchet as the detective noted .
"The bruntte softly muthed the words "what I called getting more annoyed but the delay that the Chanel anchor was creating as droplets of sweat formed on my fore head .
l was never fond of serial killers as some people have facinator of them . Finally she said the details I was curious about.
"The notes said a few things along the lines of "I'm your worst nightmare and IL see you in your dreams".
I switched off the television and sat back on the sofa with a deep sigh .
I wanted to make sure my mom and Annie were seeing the news especially now with a Maniac roaming round the city at night killing people weekly like it's some ritual,it disgusted me.
she was away at the hospital for a night shift work and definitely her phone will be out of reach.
As if on a cue my phone rang , starling me as I jerked up a bit cursing myself on the way of picking my phone up that was kept beside me.
I groggily looked at the screen,not wanting to talk to anyone at the moment but the feeling quickly dissolved when I read ,"Annie".
"I clicked accept and put it in my ears ".
"Whatsup babe ",I heared my beast friend say in a joking tone,it was Annie and it brought a warm smile to my face.
"Shut up ,also this is serious,I saw the news did you?"
"Me too ,that's why I called,please stay safe out there"i smikred in.
"Definitely, tell me how did your date go"?
For once I felt ,I didn't need to feel bad for I have officially embraced my fate which means answers like this should come out easier than I expected.
"Fuck it, it was a total mess, lynx mom didn't like me".
"Yeah you don't need her validation,your amazing "that's fact".
"I just wish the entire situation didn't have to be a messy and complicated .
"It's fine just get some rest,IL see you tommorow at school".
"Alright goodnight",I said hanging up the phone.
