SHOW YOURSELF

Chapter Nine

Angel’s POV
Kissing Strangers
I find myself awake on the bed trying to figure out what has been happening to me lately, when I started feeling my powers misbehave was when Ryan started the dare, I know I overreacted yesterday but oddly I can seem to remember what happened after the talk with the twins.
I had almost exposed my powers yesterday so I needed some time to cool off and maybe calm my spirit. No matter how I try to put it, something feels off. I decide to skip school maybe go to a remote area where I can either try to let things out or figure out why I couldn’t seem to control myself. Something tells me it has nothing to do with Ryan.
I took a brief shower before dressing up in red sweatshirt with a white ripped trousers, i looked at the time to see it was just 8:00am. I wasn’t even late. I finally got the courage to go downstairs; since I wasn’t going to school I didn’t bother to wear my usual cover up.  After coming down the stairs, I was met with 4 set of eyes, I really was shocked when I saw Lisa sitting in River’s lap.
I guess they got back together, I didn’t realize that Lisa is seeing me without makeup so I smiled at her before heading to the kitchen to get some food. Aunt too hasn’t seen me without makeup so she was also wondering who I was.
‘Hey, I’m sorry for the inconvenience, I’ll go now’. I mutter heading towards the door
‘Who was that?’ I hear Lisa say just before the door slammed. I had no idea where I was going and I wasn’t really familiar with this neighborhood, the last time I sat at an empty park, I was almost raped. I decided to go to that exact spot because that was where my spirit led me.
I head to the park looking to see if there was anyone who could disturb my peace, I decided to lay back on a bench and think.
Why was I given this power?
Who was I turning to?
Where did it all begin?
Why me?
Who am I?
Lost in thoughts I didn’t notice when someone sat next to me, I really wanted time alone so when I felt someone reaching to hold me I shot up ready to attack. Well that was until I saw his face.
I know you may think I am shallow but there was something captivating about him. He had grayish eyes that made you want to stare at it so long and brown shaggy hair that looked un   styled
‘Who are you?’ I mutter dazzled, he could as well be a model
‘I’m Shawn De vile’. He said smiling at me, I really felt a pull towards him, I can’t explain it, I literally felt the urge to kiss the hell out of him. What made it worse was when he touched, my body literally vibrated. I stood up to shake the feeling, he actually isn’t looking like me like I was creepy.
‘I’m Angel, what are you doing here?’ I ask, I really wasn’t thinking straight
‘Skipped school, guessing you did the same, I’m actually trying to get away from life, changing schools tomorrow, it’s really going to affect everything I’ve worked for’. He tells me as he groaned, I guess he really doesn’t want to change his school
‘Do you have a girlfriend?’ I ask
‘Yeah, well no I guess, caught her cheating on me with my best friend, that’s one of the reasons why I don’t want to leave, she’ll think I ran away and they’ll get a good laugh at me’. He grumbles,
‘Wonder who’ll leave a hottie like you’. I comfort him, he seems nice and probably didn’t deserve anything that came to him.
‘Thanks for the compliment, so what’s wrong with you?’ he asks, since he told me his, I guess it’ll be fair, if I told him mine.
‘Some people in my school placed like a bet on me, said one of the most popular boy will sleep with me and break my heart, I knew already and at first was cool with it but the most annoying thing is I’m living with him now and he’s like acting like he has a right over me. I got into a screaming match with yesterday and he’s lucky I have self control or I don’t think he’ll be alive today. I know I’m overreacting over a stupid dare but I have tons of other things worrying me and this isn’t even how I look like in school, I look like a begger in school, everything is just too complicated….’ I am cut off by a kiss in the lips, Shawn was kissing me and I was kissing him back, why? I had no idea. This guy is a stranger, he cuts the kiss and I long for more. He kisses me again trailing down to my neck before nibbling it slowly.
Why is he doing things to me?
‘Why?’ I whisper after he cut the kiss off
‘Thought it would get your mind off things’. He says, I scroll through my phone to show a picture of me with my disguise, I gave Shawn and he just smiled
‘I know how you look with your disguise on, your beautiful either ways’. He mutters, I really didn’t grasp what he meant but I didn’t ask. To think I thought this day would be normal here I am kissing strangers.
‘I guess I’ll see you tomorrow’. Shawn says standing straight, tomorrow?
‘Tomorrow?’ I asked confused
‘Yes, I’m transferring to your school, I guess it won’t be as bad as I thought with you there’. He says kissing me once again in the lips before walking away.
Shawn De vile
I stayed awhile there sniffing the spot where he stayed. Weird right? I went to a diner to get lunch and walked around the silent neighborhood before heading back home around 5: OOpm. When I entered the house, I still felt giddy probably because of Shawn. I skipped all the way to my room not even noticing the stares of River and Ryan
Shawn De Ville

River’s POV
Where is Angel? I wonder looking at the time, it was getting late and she wasn’t home yet. Ryan was still brooding about the stuff Angel said yesterday and I was worried because she didn’t come to school today.
I hadn’t even notice the fact that she wasn’t wearing her disguise this morning that should have told me that she wasn’t going to school, I was too caught up in an unwanted Lisa on my laps and I couldn’t as well push her off because of my mom who loved Lisa to death.
Angel suddenly walks in skipping…. I looked at her and she didn’t even notice we were there?
Wait hold up? Is that an hickey I see on her neck
Who kissed her? Where was she all day and why on earth did it nudge me so much that I wanted to destroy the fucker that gave her that
Was I actually jealous?
No, I told myself, I wasn’t jealous just worried about her. She was like a sister to me, that’s why I’ve been watching her all this while.
I was actually glad that Angel moved here, I hadn’t been observing her since she came and she seemed interesting.
Definitely not a crush just brotherly feeling
Brotherly feelings my ass,’ my subconscious teases.
But still who gave her that hickey.

  …….
Seems like River is jealous and who on earth is Shawn?
Vote and comment, it makes me happy
Tell me who you think Shawn is and why he keeps kissing her.
Thanks
