"Dude , do you want to join the athlete team or what? Why do you want me to set a timer for you? I mean, what do you want to run for?!" Richie asks probably annoyed because am taking his lunch hour to justify my weirdness.

" Because I think am faster than I should be."  I say positioning myself ready on the race lane track.

" Please don't start again..." he complains , "I know you gonna get mad at me again but..."

" Just set the timer , stop talking too much , it won't take long, I'll buy you food afterwards." I say .

" Okay whatever. Ready? Go !" He says and I  start running, I go for only one round but I can't even take it . Surprisingly am getting so tired and am running with my usual speed , not like how I was in the woods .

" See ? Nothing ! Can you now stop being annoying? You are in fact slower than a tortoise." he says picking me up from the ground as I struggle to pay the oxygen debt, breathing heavily.

" I could have told you something but you won't believe me anyway, so no need."  I say feeling myself enter into the world of confusion again , I don't understand if all these things happening to me are just illusions or they are actual , but how can abs be illusion? I can see them and feel them , I can see how my skin has become.

Am very sure I saw my eyes glowing but in a minute they weren't . In woods , in the morning I was running with the extra speed and I didn't get tired even a little bit  but now am just normal me!

At least the abs and the muscles are assuring me that am not crazy.

" Hey ? Dude..? Haven ? "

" Mmh? What" I jerk , realizing that my mind had left my body again .

Just When am about to look at him , that feeling I had in the morning when coming to school fills me again .

I look around as if looking for something , my eyes land on the same guy, standing at a far distance from us , at the end of the bleachers. I could see him fully now wearing all black with the glasses .

" Hey , see that guy ? I saw him on the way to school , I have a feeling that he's stalking me! Ever seen him around?" I signal Ric but when we turn to look at him , he's not there .

" Which guy ? I can't see anyone." Ric says looking at me with that face again , the face that is definitely showing worry and his eyes saying that am completely going crazy.

" Don't say it" I tell him before he says what is obvious in his eyes .

" Look Haven , you can get mad at me all you want but trust me you need help , we need to talk to someone about what is happening with you , it's more like you are on drugs and you are hallucinating, am not saying that you are using drugs but seriously, what is happening to you ? Am really worried about you,, you know.. I can't just sit by and watch you." 

I would have punched the hell out of him for saying that I could be using drugs if he wasn't crying right now.

" Why are you crying ? C'mon, don't worry , am figuring things out , am fine , let's fill your stomach.."  I say pulling him towards the cafeteria but he refuses to come.

" Am fine , not hungry." he walks towards the classes and I follow him .

" So.. How is it going ? You and Paige?" I try to lighten up the mood .

" Nothing much." He responds simply.

" Oh c'mon man , there's nothing you are fuming for."

" Right , by the way, Chelsea asked me for your phone number."
