With my books in hand, I hurry my way down the hall. I figured if I just avoided Autumn as much as possible whatever happened last time wouldn't occur again, right? Why did he kill me? Did he actually kill me? Was Autumn just a cold-blooded killer? That doesn't add up to me... there has to be more to it. What could've made that happen? What could've pushed him to make the choices he did? I feel frustration rising in my chest from a lack of answers, it's not like I could just ask him. For now, maybe it's best to just observe and hide, it's possible this could still all be a dream.
"Keia!" a peppy voice calls out from behind me.
"R-robin! Hi.." I hug my books tighter to my chest. "You're not going to try to make advances on me again, are you?" I try to make myself seem assertive, but I sound more like a small dog trying to stand up against something twice my size. Something about dying less than a class ago was making me a little afraid to stand up for myself.
"What? I've never done that." Robin giggles to herself "You make it sound like you want me to, though" Robin says with a smug expression on her face.
That's right, that happened at the party...
I feel a wave of embarrassment wash over me all at once. Why did Robin always do this? I shake my head a bit to regain my composure. I had to tell somebody about Autumn.
"Robin, I need to tell you something" I whisper to Robin in a low stern voice. Robin looks at me with a sudden look of surprise.
"Wait for real? Hate to disappoint you Keia, but-" I roll my eyes shake my head.
"No no that's not it, just bear with me please?" I say. I lean in close to Robin's ear. "I think Autumn is trying to kill me..." I say in an anxious tone. Robin's face seems to drop and she grabs me by the shoulders.
"Keia, where did you get this information. This is very important." Robin says. Why did she get so stern all of a sudden?
"I had a dream about it, I think? Some kind of premonition... I know I sound like I'm out of my mind I'm just-" Robin didn't seem to be listening, and was very deep in her head.
"You're right," Robin says plainly. She lets go of my shoulders as I feel a plummeting feeling in the pit of my stomach.
So it was real?
"But why?" I feel myself getting ready to shout about it, but there isn't enough force in my chest.
"I don't know but, now that I know that you know, stick with me," Robin says. "I'll keep you safe until we can figure out what's going on."
