Chapter : The Test 2

    We meet on the school grounds. A call out of nowhere from Fiona to meet me. What's the meaning of this ? She sounded serious. Is it about the case ?  As I found her at the basketball court, she looked a bit gloomy. I approached her carefully not to offend her or make her angry.  The moment I got close to her she huffed and backed up.

       " Took you long enough " She said in an annoyed accent.

      Maybe I was too worried. She looks fine.

   "So what's the matter?" I asked
She glares at me with a hint of grin pulling on her lips.

     "Nothing, just wanted to see you. Is there something wrong with that ?" 

  She replied. Ours eyes locked in with eachother's. It almost felt like she was staring into my soul. A few minutes went by with just us staring at eachother.  The bell rang leaving us both startled at the same time.

   
       " Well time's up babe, let's meet after school alright. I'll take you to a good place."

She spoke as she walked away,leaving a  just a smile behind.
Well the thinking isn't gonna help so might as well wait until she takes me.

       The time went really slow in the class. As my head rested on my hand with my eyes almost close ,a sharp pencil was poking me from the side. As my head tilted  ,that witch looked more tired than me. I didn't mind her doing that because looking at the rest of the class ,everyone was dying to go outside. History class really is too boring. Slowly my eyes were getting closed at the point were I almost fell asleep but out of nowhere the bell rang. My eyelids stretched open. This is the worst. Now I'm too tired maybe I'll skip the plans with Fiona.

      As I stood up my bag was already in her hands.

    "Come on Theo,let's get moving. "

Ahhh I'm so fucking tired that I can't even bear an argument with her so might as well just go.

     As we walked together, a familiar road came up front. I felt like I've been here before. As we took a few steps we came across it. The mansion which I've seen before. As I looked at her ,the air around her go darker. Her eyes looking at me like I'm her prey, a grin appearing of her face with a slight hint of anguished.

     "Do you know why I brought you here?" She asked as she took a step closer to me. He hands behind her back as she gestured a cute front. It felt like she was holding a knife in her hand.

     "I don't really know. Maybe a date ?"
Acting dumb on purpose seems fine.

   She smiled and her darkness wavered.

      "Ohh so you're finally taking me seriously huh. Well then that's what this is ,a date."
       She replied in a soft voice

     "This is a really old mansion ,older than us. Behind this is a shed where me and Laura used to play with the mansion's dog. A ghost house now."

    As she spoke those words ,the pieces of the puzzle alighted perfectly. I took off to the shed holding her hand. Ran as fast as I could. The shed seemed a bit off the place . I busted the door open with a kick. As I looked inside there was nothing but dirt and cement bags which were dried out, completely stuck to the walls and floor.

    " What's the matter Theo? Did something happen?"  

"Nothing's wrong hon, just thought I'd been here before".
 

   As I replied ,the nickname and the holding hand gesture caught her attention. She seemed a bit flustered. In that time I scanned the area looking for clues. It's certain that this was all different when I woke up that day. It couldn't have changed this much in just 3 days. I'm sure I wasn't hallucinating. Ahh too much thinking that my head hurts.

    "Let's get outta here, I'm hungry Fiona."

   Well it isn't a coincidence that she brought me here. There is something that I'm overlooking. It might be better if I just wait until something comes up and I have a good feeling that it might be soon.

        We walked a bit far from the mansion to the nearest gas station.

    "So is it gonna be some instant ramen or microwave Mac n cheese?"

I asked as we stared at the shelfs full of snacks.

     "I think Mac n cheese would be good"
She replied in a blink.

   A few minutes later we got out of the station and reached my house. While she freshened up ,I got to kitchen to make the Mac n cheese. A long sigh left my mouth. What is even happening? It's been roughly 1 hour since we left from the mansion. That unexpected visit took me off guard but isn't everything going too slow. Huhh I really don't have any patience. With the thoughts and possibilities over my mind ,I prepared the Mac. Suddenly a warm hand caress through my shirt.

      "What are you even doing ?" I asked Fiona as she hugged me from behind.
   Her hands tightens.

    "Can't I do this to my boyfriend?" She replied with a dumb face.

I couldn't help but lean into her. There's nothing wrong with this right?  With me being with her. Wa...wait isn't this moving a bit too fast ? Maybe she's just teasing me but looking at her she seems relaxed. There's no way that this is happening.

   "So are you really okay with this ?" I asked with dumbfounded expression. Maybe I'll make her spill the truth,maybe something about the case might come up too.

  "Yes yes I am!!" She spoke as her grip got stronger. "I'm really serious!"

As I looked back at her, she smiled with her eye pupils bigger than a little puppy's.
How can I give her a answer for this ?
I mean it wouldn't be a surprise for me even if I Said yes. I can see it a bit that it'll work out. Am I really going to say yes. What If she's just teasing me ? No that's highly unlikely cause her eyes are saying otherwise but what if she's really testing me ? Would something change between us if i answered honestly. What kind of a test is this?
