Chapter 12: Ghost Face

Alice

I couldn't stop thinking about last night, I've never seen such a brutal hate fight since...a long time ago, why would Greyson do that to his own brother, it's like he was his biggest enemy.

Somewhere in me, I knew it was about the kiss, but why would Greyson care, because it's his twins? who cares? would he react the same way if someone else did it instead?

The whole fight was around the school, no one expected Greyson or the triplets to come to school, hell neither did I.

But to my shock, Greyson walked into our first class together, everyone stayed silent as he walked in with a bloody white shirt and bruised knuckle, and a busted lip that was on the run to heal.

I knew no one would see Greyson the same anymore, everyone now officially feared him, if he fucked his brother up that badly imagine what he would do to someone who actually despises.

I tried taking the picture of last night out of my head and focusing in class, but the tension between us both thickened the air it was hard to breathe, he sat beside me, as always legs spread out but this time he was staring up at the ceiling, that's when I suddenly overhear a snore.

Is he sleeping?!

I sneak a look at him, yup he was dead asleep, his arms folded across his chest while his eyes were shut up to the ceiling.

I couldn't help but inhale a deep breath as I analyzed his bruised arms, his lip had been busted and there was a slight scar on his nose, I gulped a harsh breath, and as hard as I tried I couldn't look away, he was to...admirable to not stare.

Dark hair that was always styled to the side, silver jewelry, and his tie was always messed up or nicely tucked, I admired his face, a slight scar below his jaw that looked fully healed, only left a light scratch.

I had to control every body muscle not to trace it with my finger, I wonder how he got it? maybe from hockey?

I then glance at his body from head to toe, he was so tall he could barely fit the seat, I'm grateful we sit at the top row of the table so no one can realize I am-

"MHM," I jump from my seat, and glance back at the board, realizing everyone had been staring up at me, "Alice?" Uncle Jackson cleared his throat leaving against the board, I gave everyone else a warning glare, and as expected they all glanced back at the board.

"yes, Mr. Mayfield?" I slightly smiled, and he scoffed and gave me a slight smile before turning back to the board and continuing the lesson, I released a sigh when a snort escapes from Greyson's throat before he could control it.

I snap my head in Greysons direction, oh no please don't tell me he-

"Take a picture, it'll last longer" he opened his eyes and landed directly on mine, "The last thing I want is to have to see you on my phone"
"Pick your words wisely Mayfield, they always seem to hit you in the ass"

I rolled my eyes and focused on my classwork while my legs felt like jelly and my heart was pounding.

❆

I hide behind the bookshelves of the school's library while the lights are turned off, I've been sitting here for at least three hours, where the hell is Frankie-

"Your all set"
"AHH!" I jump when suddenly Frankie appeared in front of me holding his flashlight straight at my face, "Frankie! jeez you almost gave me a heart attack"
"My apologies miss," He held my hand out for me and I take it without hesitation.

"You sure it's all set?"
"Alice, I've been working as a security guard for twenty-five years"
"Right lead the way" I smile while he nodded and led me down the staircases out of the library entrance.

As we walked down the hallway, it was silent, "How's Noah?"
"Frankie" I gave him a slight smile, "Just wondering I haven't heard from him in a while..." I released a sigh and glanced at him, freezing in place, "What?" he glanced back at me.

Just drop the bomb Alice, "Noah quit a few weeks ago" I gulped, "oh..." Frankie licked his lips, "Yes I've been waiting for my father to hire a new chauffeur" Noah mumbled something under his voice I couldn't quite catch in Spanish.

I felt bad, Frankie has been helping me sneak into the school to practice my Ice Skating since I moved here, Noah and him were...close, conceivably more than friends.

Noah drove me every day at nine to sneak into the school, but since he quit since his wife was suspicious of him cheating...I've been staying after school hiding in the library.

I feel bad for both Frankie and Noah, it's obvious that they were in love but because of Noah's cruel wife he never got the chance to get divorced.

I just hope Noah comes back and follow his heart, tho I don't support cheating! I do for them...they deserve love and happiness.

Frankie unlocks the rink for me allowing me inside, "Be careful okay?"
"Frankie I've been skating since I was four, I think I'll be fine"
"Just scream if you need me" he smiles patting me on the back, I smile back and start making my way inside the rink.

I haven't been here since Aarons's Hockey game with Greyson, I'm just happy to be back.

I put on my skates and made my inside the rink, getting used to the slippery ice before making a run for it, I tug in my earbuds while playing "Heaven" by Julia Michaels.

I inhaled a breath letting the cold air sink into my bones as I warm up a spin and jump at once, remembering the training Malia taught me when I was five, the one I always trained since I was little.

I've never had real parents, but Malia took care of Aaron and me since we were little, and she was the one who was there for me when I told her about my dream to join Figure Skating, Aaron thought I was being a copy cat because he played hockey, and my parents like always thought it was foolish and I should join something popular girls do.

Cheerleading, dont get me wrong I love being cheer captain, but it's not the same as skating, not one bit.

I left my leg up in the air while skating on one foot, my nose becoming numb from the cold and my hands freezing from wearing no protective gloves.

As I was about to do my last trick, which is the toe-loop jump my eyes suddenly land on another pair, I went into shock and fall on my ass.

In panic I glance around the room, where their were bleachers and pure darkness but the rink, that's when I suddenly over hear clapping from the distance I sat up and fisted both my hands alerted to who it could be,

An intruder? a thief? a serial killer stalking me like Ghost Face!? tho I wouldn't mind if Ghost Face was stalking me.

"Bravo! I hate to admit that was really good except for the last part" that's when he came into frame the lights hitting him and I realized.

It wasn't an intruder or a serial killer, it was much, much worse, the biggest jump scare of my life.

Greyson fucking Graham.
