The Soul Chronicles - The Tower Of Souls

Chapter one: A Suprise at my Room

Alex's Pov.

"Natalie Jackson you stand here right now, this instance or you're dead! You hear me? Natalie Jackson!!!" I shouted to my best friend.

Everyone looked at me but I don't care, because that so called best friend of mine just told the intire school my darkest secret. (Of course, I wouldn't tell you my secret)

Natalie suddenly stopped walking and I bumped into her.

Luckily, I fell down right beside my locker, so when Natalie turned I open the locker door and she slammed into the door real hard.

"Ouch! What was that for!" Natalie whispered/ yelled.

"That was for 1) you told the intire school my darkest secret and 2) you made me bump into you. Now my whole body is in extreme pain."

"What secret? I don't know what you are talking about." She said.

"Oh is that so, then explain this." I said while calling a random person and told her to tell the secret.

When she finished telling the secret, I turned to Natalie and glared daggers at her.

"I don't understand, I only told Nicolas about it..." She said.

"You WHAT!?!? You told Nicolas?!? I told you specifically NOT to tell him!" I yelled at her. At least no one's watching now.

"He forced me to tell him, sorry..."

"Sorry?!? You know he always let the cat out of the bag! And now he tells the whole school!" I told/ screamed at her."now everyone know that I have hydrophobia."

"I'm sorry, he really forced me."

"With a knife? No right? Then what did he do to persuade you to tell him my phobia?" I cutted in while she was saying.

"He...he said that if I don't tell him, he will tell the whole school my phobia, and it is way imberrasing than yours." She answered.

"Okay, I'll give you a second chance if you tell me your phobia." I said playfully. "and after you tell me, you and I will take care of you brother."

"Deal. Okay so you remember that day when I was at your house and there are chickens at your house?"

"Yeah, it was a huge mess that day, all the chicken hair..."

"The point is" she stopped me "I have alektorophobia"

I tried to contained my laughter but failed,"you mean you are afraid of chickens?" Then I laughed, like loud, while Natalie's face turned tomato red.

"Don't tell it to anyone,please? I'm begging you." She pleaded.

"Okay, okay. I won't tell anyone, cuz I'm not like your brother. And speaking of your brother," my expression turned evil, "let's prank him. Meet me at 'our spot' after school"

"Sure, see ya" she said and walked off. Luckily, we only have two more classes to go and it's Spanish Class so It wouldn't be boring.

🕰️*Time skip to the end of school*🕰️

"Hey Natalie!" I shouted to her when I reach 'our spot', which is behind a coffee shop in the park near our school. I am friends with the coffee shop owner, so I persuade him to let us stay behind it.

She turned around and shouted,"Hey! Come on quickly, I have a prank the will absolutely make Nick (Nicolas) here be the laughing stock at our school for the rest of the year!"

"Oh really?" I said,"try me."

"First, we need to prepare a camera to make the prank a video, a rope, a firm tree branch, duct tape, and his favourite food, nachos and guacamole"

"Mh-hmm"

"Second, we set the trap like what we always see in the movies."

"You mean the one that when a person step on it, the rope will tie on their leg and they will spring up to the air?"

"Yeah, that one. Then, we could see his face when he is upside down, it will be hilarious." She smirk then laugh out loud.

"Okay, so see you tomorrow and we'll set the trap."

"Same time as today?"

"Yeah, bye!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Then we went back to our home.

*Time skip again*

"Hey mom, I'm home. I'll be upstairs!" I shouted to my mom who was in the kitchen, making dinner.

"Okay honey. Just remember to come down for dinner!" She shouted back and I went upstairs to my room.

That's when I saw an elegant but a little bit wrinkled letter on top of my desk.
