HASRAT'S POV

It's BADC today. I'm late again. I'm running in the halls to get to Ms. Sachdeva's class on time. Memories of that night are in a blur, and I'm not even sure if it was ever even real. I remember it as a nightmare. Well... some things were quite memorable about it.

Were we really that close to each other? I can still feel his breath on my ears as I hugged him tight, his warmth embracing me.

As soon as I enter the room, I suddenly feel his pair of eyes pierce through me. We make eye contact and I lift my hand to wave but he looks away too quickly. He begins talking to Lorraine. Did he not see me? What the hell man.

OHWEN'S POV

Out of the corner of my eye I see Hasrat enter the room. She has those space buns again. What's the point of changing up her style like this? Who's attention is she trying to catch? So pointless.

"Aren't you doing a project with her?" Lorraine asks. "Huh?"

"The one for this class."
"We already finished it on Thursday."

It's a silent block. Some people still have their projects to do since there's still time till the due date. I just go on my phone since there's nothing else to do.

All of a sudden, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn and now she's infront of me.

"Hi Ohwen," she gives me a bright smile.
"Hi."
"Can I sit with you?" She asks. I give a silent nod in response and she sits down beside me. I don't say anything and continue scrolling on Instagram.

"I wanted to ask, are you free later? I was hoping we could talk." I raise my head to look at her. "About what?" My voice is cold and unwelcoming. "About Thursday," She says timidly. Her smile fades a little as I just tell her ,"Okay. 5 minutes after school."

I go back to looking at my phone and after a couple moments of silence, she gets up and goes back to her seat.

HASRAT'S POV

School just finished and now I have to go to his locker. He didn't even spare a glance the entire day. How can he be so close and protective one day and then act like he doesn't even know me the other?

I step into the Science wing and I get more nervous with each step I take. I just realize, this is where I saw him kill Romswinckel. But.... it's also the same spot we almost k-k-k-k-kissed....eek!!!!

I dash and right when I turn left, I can see the bright orange monstrous hair from a mile away.
I stop in my tracks, recalling the nightmare I had of him and how Ohwen had consoled me that night. Harshaan is standing at Ohwen's locker glaring at me, while Ohwen is nowhere to be found. I walk closer, cautiously.

Suddenly, Ohwen walks past and looks at me. I get startled but give him a small wave while he says hello. "You wanted to talk?"

I nod. I look back at his locker and- wait what? Harshaan is gone. Where did he disappear off to? What happened? "You're wasting my time Hasrat."

I look back, intimidated and confused. I'm not even sure what to say anymore. He's staring back at me and I'm getting so nervous and I'm not even sure what this is anymore. "I just- well I- about that night- I don't know I can't seem to find the right words!" I stay silent for a couple seconds trying to collect my thoughts. "It's just-"

He interrupts me by saying, "5 minutes done. You can come talk when you're ready to." He walks past, brushing my shoulder." Now I'm left standing here like an idiot. Who even is this? This is not the same person who had balls all over his face just to save me that night.

I'm so mad. How can he apologize and act like such a stuck up person now? I start walking home, unable to comprehend his behavior. The difference in who he was that night and today. Is he embarassed of me or something? Is it that hard for him to talk to me? We talked fine that night. What's the issue now?

I arrive at my door and suddenly a chill runs down my spine. The atmosphere is eerie, and I don't feel good. As I reach for the handle, my gaze falls down to the floor where I see a piece of paper. Huh? Did Adab drop this from her bag or something? I pick it up and step into the house.

I open it and my eyes widen. In it, is a message that reads:

"I'm watching you. Your every move. The old wrinkly bitches might be gone but I'm here, watching you. You'll suffer from my wrath. Stay away from him. He's mine. All mine....."

Beneath the messy printing, there's a orange hair taped to the paper. Harshaan immediately comes to mind. No way, no way, this is crazy no way this is him. I remember how he stared at me at Ohwen's locker. I quickly shut the door and lock it, double checking to make sure it's closed properly.

I take a seat on the couch and continue thinking about Ohwen and his weird behavior. I can't focus because of the note I just got. I can't do this. Why is this happening? Suddenly I hear a noise from behind, so I turn my head.

I let out a bloodcurdling scream as I see a head with orange hair quickly move away from my window, and tears start streaming down my face.

Someone doesn't want me with Ohwen. And they're after me.
