Never Say Goodbye [Complete Story]

Chapter Sixteen

Nontheless, I went right from the cafeteria to the art studio.

I've been here a couple of times and I know this part of the school building has been abandoned for renovation so I'm wondering why Xavier will call me here especially.

Will he do something to me? Is he angry? I don't even know when he's angry mode these days.

He just zones out sometimes. Thanks to the other time he returned the umbrella, I got to talk to him at school and we meet at the basketball court.

But today, he's calling me here all of a sudden, I'm bound to worry.

"Calm down, Claire.... You can do this.... " I breathed in huge breath and I could hear my own voice echo through the hall.

I jogged towards the studio and paused biting my lip for a while before I slowly opened the door. I expected some noise at least but it was dead silent.

I finally peeped in to check what was going on and all I saw was blank.......

"Xavier?...." I closed the door behind me gently and turned in front of me again.

I carefully walked in and I kept my gaze all around alert. The studio was really looking stacky with the cobwebs going round in a witch circle.

I coughed and brought out my hanky to cover my nose but then it was useless because I was still coughing so I put it back into my pocket.

"Xavier... " I called again, more quietly this time.

No one was here... It's evident. I was already going into the dark studio.

I was engrossed looking at the large piece of art on the wall.

It starred a girl with violet eyes, peeping through a door and I could see something brownish behind her. It looked like her hair. I smiled... Just like me. I had violet eyes and brown hair.

I looked to my left only to see same girl... What's going on? I thought but then I was curious to see what this drawing is about.

My gaze intensified when I saw the resemblance in the girl's face. It looked like someone I knew. I could barely see so I moved closer and used my hand to comb the cobwebs away and then I got a clearer view. It looked so much like when I was ten years old... Maybe.

I gasped when I heard something like a wind behind me.

I quickly turned to check for the door but then the door was really not near.

"Xavier.... If it's you scaring me... Please stop! I'm not someone that can take shock... Please... " I whispered but it was loud enough because of the empty space.

No one answered and my little hope was crushed. I was getting more worried with all these weird things going on.

"Where's Xavier.... "

I continued to walk into the darkness.

I was closer to light now so I continued to walk... All I've been doing here was walk anyway.

Suddenly, BOOM!

"HEYYYY! "

I was shocked! Yeah! Really shocked!

Zoning out was a bad option, especially when I want to see the face of that idiot who dared to scare me.

"Hey, wake up, bone head. Nothing's happened! Or you want me to kiss those sexy lips before you wake? "

My eyes shot up and I first saw a lips coming closer to my face. I quickly brought my hand to stop it and then my face was getting faned. I was seeing a nose second.
