Who Is He?

Chapter One • She Knows

[ Highschool ]

I sat deep in thought in my English class.

My teacher was droning on about Romeo and Juliet, or was it Macbeth?

Nevermind, i don't really care.

I just want to go home instead of listening to the voice of this annoying bi-

The bell then rings. I sigh and quickly pack my bag while getting out of my seat.

The corridors are full as I walk past many students to get towards my usual table for lunch.

I finally get to my table and place my bag down and adjust my uniform.

Just then someone leans against the table next to me.

I don't even have to look to know who it is.

"Well, hello Iris" I say as I turn to look at my childhood bestfriend with a raised eyebrow.

She rolls her eyes, "What's up with you?".

I take my blazer off and start walking slowly to buy my lunch, "What do you mean, I'm fine".

She quickly catches up to me and walks besides me matching my pace,"Yeah but you seem distracted".

Ofcourse she noticed. Queue the stupid excuse

I clear my throat," Yeah, just thinking about my-" I pause for a minute, "my cat".

I inwardly wince at my dumb excuse.

I don't have a cat.

She stops and looks at me weirdly,"But you don't have a... You know what, I'm not even gonna' ask".

And with that she goes to buy our food while shaking her head.

I close my eyes and let out a breath of relief. I then open my eyes and follow after her.

- time skip

We were walking after school towards our neighborhood now in silence.

Iris sighs loudly,"Okay I can't take this shit, dude, just tell me what's up".

I roll my eyes and walk faster,"Fine, keep up, let's get to my house first".

She agrees and keeps my pace.

After a while, we finally make it to my house and i quickly get us a snack and we go to my room.

She sits on my bed while I freshen up.

I'm walking to my bed while looking down at my phone when I feel a pillow hit my face.

I look up at Iris with a small glare.

She looks at me with narrowed eyes,"Well, I'm waiting".

I sigh and go to sit next to her,"Okay listen, the thing is I...".

She gasps loudly before I can finish,"Oh My God, are you taking drugs!?".

I look at her with wide eyes, shocked at her outburst,"What, what, what the...No, What, I am NOT taking drugs. Why would you...what!?".

She sighs in relief," Oh good, okay continue".

I look at her incredulously before calmly continuing,"Okay... so I had this dream about 2 nights ago and I just can't seem to get it out of my head".

She looks in concentration,"Woah, okay, well what was the dream about?".

Oh boy

I wince,"Well..."
