As Jake opened his mouth and blurted out whatever it was he had to say, I openly threw him a dirty look.
Jace stood a few metres across where we sat, typing away at his phone. I felt my stomach churn at the new discovery.
"Uhm, can we talk?" I asked standing in front of him.
"Sure?" He replied looking confused.
He did not for any reason, deserve to have that look on his face. If there was anyone who should should look confused, it should be me.
He walked away from the chatting group behind us to somewhere more private and I followed.
"For someone who hates me so much, you sure do seem a lot interested in me." He said, smirking.
"Get over yourself! I do not have any iota of interest in you." I said, bluntly.
"Sure. Whatever you say, firecracker." He replied.
It took a lot to ignore him. I rolled my eyes and said;
"I needed to clarify something. Actually, a lot of things."
"Right." He simply said.
"So, is this how you know so much about me?" I started.
"Because, I would say, it is very much rude of you to creep up at me in such a way and start making my life hella difficult. I can't believe I didn't recognize you at all, because if I did, I'd have packed all my things and bailed out of this part of the country. Karma's a bitch, I know... I know I slapped you...but Karma has stung me in the ass enough already. Wait a minute, how'd you change your name? Cos it's really crazy. Jace is Landon... Landon is Jace... How!? I don't know! The surnames are similar, even the same.. I know... but 266 people, I think... per 100,000 population have the surname..so the chances of me having to meet you ever again were very slim...so I don't know how I did end up here again...haunted! I'm sorry for slapping you and for being rude and all...but please..you're the least person I need right now in my life.." I ranted.
I didn't mean for the last sentence to sound as it did, but yeah, it did sound the way it did and I could do nothing about that, so he should suck it up.
"Ouch!" He said. Did I or did I not see his eyes go a hint darker. Whatever!
He continued;
"To all that you've said, I have to say you're actually very right. Yunno what!? I'm actually here to make your life difficult..in the most possible way. I want revenge. That's why I'm here. You destroyed my ego. Even for that little bit..and I'm here to destroy yours as much as I can. I've promised myself that. And yeah, I'm not leaving your life any time soon..not until I've done enough damage!" He finished, giving me a fake tight-lipped smile after which he walked away leaving me to stand there, wide-eyed.
Head hanging low, I walked back to the wingback chair where I sat with Aura and Amelia.
"What's wrong!?" Amelia asked, concern lacing her tone.
I looked around to see if Jerkface was in the room. He wasn't. Mia was at the other end of the room, phone pressed to ear, speaking and gesticulating. Jake was also nowhere in sight.
I rested my back against the tall part of the chair, kicking my legs in the air;
"I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead." I sang continuously.
"No, you're not. Not yet" Aura said, patting my shoulder and nodding, sudden glint in her forest green eyes.
" What do you mean, not yet?" I said throwing them both, glances.
"Well," they sang in sync.

That's a wrap y'all.
See you next time.
This chapter might have been stupid...a little..it's cos I'm tired and sleepy..so my brain isn't in the best position to write something reasonable. I'll check it and make changes in the morning. That's it for now!
