The serial killer's son

-Elizabeth's POV-

I felt stalked, making me immediately look behind me to see Meliodas stare at me... again...

It scares me the way he stare.

Is it something he want from me? Have I done something to him? I had even more questions about why he stared at me all the time.

I don't even know what I could have done, I never even talked to him. I'm scared of him. If all the rumours was true, then who knows what he will do to me?

"Pssst, Elizabeth?" I heard as a tap on my shoulder was felt. Turning around, I saw my best friend Diane looking back at Meliodas.

"He hasn't done anything to you yet, right? Why is he always staring at you like this?"

"I-I don't know... I-I know nothing about h-him except t-the rumours." I mumbled. She took my hands in hers, asking "You don't think... you are his next target, do you?"

"I-I don't know. I-If he really is a psychopath like the rumours says about h-him, I-I might be..."

"I'm here for you Elizabeth, you can talk to me at any time, you know?" She said. I nodded, just to hear the teacher saying "That's all for today class, go to your lunch now."

People started packing up their things and I heard Diane whisper "He's on his way towards us..."

I looked back at him, seeing him nearing us. I looked back at Diane, asking "W-what will I do?"

Just at that moment, he stopped behind me, making me slowly look at him, who quickly went back to his desk, getting his phone before walking towards us again, but passing us before walking out of the classroom.

"I completely forgot half of the class has to pass your seat to get out of the classroom." Diane mumbled as I sighed in relief.

"Let's g-go and eat something, s-shouldn't we?" I asked. She nodded, jumping up from her seat and pulling me towards the cafeteria.

We talked as we stood in the cue, waiting for us to order. It didn't take long before we had our lunch and walked towards an empty table.

"So, how is things with King?"

"Umm, well... you know it's valentine's dance in two months, right?" She asked making me nod.

"Well, I kinda hope he will ask me out... I was about to ask him out one time... but than I stopped  scared of losing his friendship if he doesn't feel the same way."

I took her hands in my, saying "I'm sure he will ask you out... and if not, the two of us could go as singles and just mingle around... after all, I'm not going with anyone..."

"Elizabeth?" She asked, making me ask "What is it?"

"Don't turn around... HE is coming our way."

"M-Meliodas?" I asked, making her nod. I took a deep breath and sat normally, not showing how scared I was.

"Elizabeth?" I heard a male voice. Slowly turning around, I saw Meliodas standing there. He gave me a paper bag that was closed, before saying "I bought this for you. I have noticed it's your favourite."

Then he just walked away, making me confused.

"W-what just happened?" I asked. Diane just said "Open the bag!"

I slowly opened it to see my favourite chocolate cake piece from a cafe me and Diane usually go to, the boar hat.

"H-How d-did he know t-this is my f-favorite?"

I mumbled, looking up at Diane. She had come to my side and looked into the bag too, saying "It's a note there."

Picking up the note and taking the chocolate cake out of the bag, I read it slowly one time... two times... three times... and I still couldn't believe it...

Meet me at the boar hat 6PM today, I have another surprise for you.

Looking up at Diane who read over my shoulder, I asked "Y-You think I should do it?"

"I don't know, I mean, just look at that cake. What if he poisoned it? Or if he tries to make you trust him and then stab you in the back?"

"B-but what if he's just... misunderstood? H-He didn't seem that bad w-when he gave me this..." I replied. She just said "Do as you want, but I wouldn't and don't think you should either."

"I-I will think about it..." I mumbled. She nodded and sat down again. I stared at the cake in front of me... starting to crave a bit for it.

I reached out to it, pulling it close before slicing a small bit of it with my small spoon, pulling it up on it.

"You don't really think about eating it, do you?"

"It's hard to not eat it when it's in front of me... you know how much I love sweets. I will just try a bit... and if it's a strange taste, I will spit it out."

"But what if the poison doesn't have any taste?"

"B-but he can't b-be that bad t-to poison it, c-can he? Besides, i-if he has another surprise for me, he can't have poisoned t-this."

"True..." She mumbled as I took a small bite and... as usually, it tasted delicious.

"It's nothing wrong with this..."

"Really?" She asked, making me nod. Using her own spoon, she also tasted it, mumbling "Fine, it is delicious."

We continued eating the cake before we went to class again.
