Ringgg!!
The school bell that I assume is for dismissal was heard students scattered all around the hallway,I scurried out of class in a hurry with my friends with me of course
"Why are you in a hurry to go home today are you perhaps trying to avoid someone" bri teased me
"Of course i am avoiding Uriel who knows what she has in store for me i gotta watch my back"
"I thought you had a crush on her...I really applaud your bravery that girl is just to terrifying for her age" ash added
"She isn't that terrifying and i still am still crushing on her i mean who wouldn't"
"A sane person" they chorused
"Whatever"
We continued walking almost at the school exit when i stopped on my tracks suddenly as ash and bri bump into me
"Wtf why did you suddenly stop walking"bri asked rubbing her nose which she seemed to have hit on my shoulder
"She is behind us"
"Who" ash asked but before i could reply uriel walked past us with a motorcycle helmet to the student parking lot
"Okay how did you know she was behind us"
"Yea how"
"I smelt her scent"
Briana: "..."
Ashley: "..."
They stared at me blankly like I am some idiot
"Excuse me can i ask a question" ash inquired
"Yes"
"Are you a dog?"
Me: "..."
I smacked her arm playfully
"Come on let's go guys" I pulled them with me to Briana's car it was her turn to drive us to school and back today it was a red sports car...like I said this school is prestigious so it's students are well off excluding me but i am not poor,I could be called middle class i mean i have a car too so brie was the richest amongst us followed by ash then me....
"Okay should we go home straight or chill first at my lair"bri asked winking at us
The lair is a small apartment she bought somewhere in crest town we decorated it it's super cute we go there every now and then to chill,smoke, drink and party
"Home i am tired" I replied
"Same here"ash replied
"Okay then let's goo...wtf" bri twisted the the car key but it refused to budge she tried again and again she checked the fuel tank it was full so what the f**k was up we all got down it was pretty hot so I was cooling myself with the exercise book in hand while she and ash checks the bonnet,everything was okay according to them so what was wrong with the damn car
"They are no mechanics available in crest town on Wednesdays and today is sadly Wednesday what are we 'gon...."
VROOM VROOM!
A sudden raving of a power bike cut off bri's words
We all looked to the direction of the raving sound and behold a gloriously manly woman on the bike with her white hair let down falling on her lower neck she must have let it down considering she packed it throughout today, it was uriel i thought she must have gone home by now,she drove past us with dust trailing behind I heard a metal clank on the floor and box of who knows
I walked towards what she dropped bri and ash following behind me it was a spanner and....sugar excess sugar cubes i don't need a tarot reader to tell me what she did my nose felt sour as tears trickled down my cheeks i turned and looked at bri and ash with the two objects raised for them to see
"What's up why are you crying" bri asked
"I don't wanna walk home i can't" I burst into wails and that's when they realized the car has tampered with
"We are fucked"ash muttered
"I just bought that sports car last month" Bri said with a single tear falling from her eye
"Who knows is what she did can be fixed" she added
"Guys this all my fault i shouldn't have spoken in the hallway when i saw the gun"I said squatting and burying my face on my legs wailing like child
"Okay calm down and stop being a baby this matter doesn't call for cries don't tell me using a car has made your brain to stop functioning properly have your forgotten there's something called a taxi" ash lectured
"Ohh that's right a taxi" I said sniffing"but wait i got no cash"
" Ahhh zuri you have a cash app use it and your head" ash held her head in frustration
"Hehehe then ughhh let's get home before my parents get home"
7:00pm
It was dark when i got home obviously i took three different taxis before i could get home
I breathed in and out hoping that my parents aren't home I slid in my keys twisted it and heard a click sound
Phew!
They weren't home yet I opened the door took off my coat and hung it on the rack threw my backpack on the couch took off my shoes and headed to my room to take a shower
"And where are you coming from"
"Ahhh....Dad"
"Sweetums why are you back late" he asked giving me a hug and patting my head just what I needed
"Car trouble papa"
"Okay good thing your mum isn't back" yea it's a good thing she isn't
"Now go and freshen up and come down for dinner"
.
"Okay" I giggled who doesn't like papa's food
*****
"Why are you back so late uriel" Anthony asked me with a stern face while holding a glass of champagne
"Are you trying to be stern with me mr.anthony" I asked with raised brows
"No,no,no my dear just wanted to know where you were and why you came back so late can't risk anything happening to you" his tone changed
"I went to the arcade to play games"
"We both know that's a lie kid"
"Oh do we now" I walked towards the wine cellar took an alcoholic wine and ascended the stairs
"Don't you have school tomorrow then why are you drinking aren't you afraid of a hangover"
"Mind your business Anthony"
"You are never sober i wonder how you keep your grades high"
"Cause I'm always high" I smirked and entered my room
Anthony: "..." Brat he muttered when i was out of sight
INSIDE THE ROOM
I emptied my backpack on the bed and took the tablet I bought from a hidden drug store I found some months ago,I took my glass cup poured some contents out and took a sip while twirling the the drug with my finger after some scrutinization I threw it into my mouth and gulped down the whole alcohol then my world started twirling and i am exhausted
*****
A raving chainsaw being directed at my face ready to cut my pretty face in half it was being handled by none other that uriel, looking so sinister
"Uriel God I said I am sorry it was a slip of the tongue I didn't mean to say it out loud"I half yelled sweating profusely
"Haven't you heard rumors to keep away from me but no your tongue had to slip tch useless now you have to pay the price miss cheeks" she said sinisterly bringing the chainsaw closer and closer
"No,no no,noooooooo"
* * * * *
"Ahhh" I sprang up the bed with a scream
"Jesus Christ she made her way to my dreams" I touched my face i was dripping in sweat i ran to bathroom to wash my face i looked in the mirror for sure dark circles were under my eyes
"Shit i am already late as it is and i don't have time for make up" I said as i looked at the time on my mini clock on the mirror with no time to think I had my bath and i was done in a 5mins dressed in a loose black pants and ask tank top with a my ash coat hanging on my shoulders i rushed down to the dinning
"Good morning dad,mom i am driving to school today and i am already late byeeee"I grapped two waffles and drank my milk in one go
"Don't drive to fast honey and don't choke on your waffle" dad said out loud and whispered to mum
."is it me or does she look like a ghost even if she is dressed okay"
"I don't care Knowles" mum replied
"Okay" I screamed at from the door wore my white sneakers and made way to my pink golf car I sped off to pick Ashley who has given me 5missed calls and i called back
