peculiar

First ghost encounter

The atmosphere in the room was tense. My palms were sweaty and a little stream of sweat had just started to form on my forehead. I threw my pen in the air repeatedly and caught it as it spun around. I only did this when i was nerveous and this time i really was. The guy sitting next to me wasn't even blinking, just looking at his paper and writing and writing. I guess he was the one making me nerveous. I looked down on my paper and i wont say i hadn't written anything, i had managed to answer all the questions i had an idea about. These questions were specifically my names, my admission number and my class.

Incase some of you didnt notice i am a student at the kalks university studying law. And at this moment, i was looking at an exam paper on torts that i hadnt studied for at all. All i did all through the exam period was look at other people writting on their exam papers as i felt stupid. I was top of my class in all the exams but in this one i had agreed that Gregory -my arch nemesis- would beat. So if he was to beat me, i thought i woild give him a good gap so that he can gloat.

After about three hours of incredebly awkward and loud silence the bell rang. Boy was i glad the bell rang because i would not stand another moment of the awkward glances at other peoples work just to try and get a peak of what they had written.

The teacher walked into the class through the door that was on my far right. My teacher, miss Blake was this beautiful woman. She had the shape of a model, tall graceful legs that protruded out of her short yet official skirt into six inch heels, her hair fell gracefully on her shoulders oh! And her eyes.... she had the kind of eyes that would make a man jump from the top of a building, these amber eyes.

So away with the long description of my teacher. She came in and stood behind the table infront of the class."Time's up people. Stop writting, stand up and bring your papers to yhe front." Normally nobody would do that because everyone is usually still writting. This was a normal day so far for me and for everyone -or so i thought - so nobody stopped writting. When miss Blake would come to class i would start having these fantasy thoughts running like a wild hog around my head about me and her. Actually, these thoughts had crossed my mind. I was looking down at her and suddenly they were cut off.

I was still lookong at miss Blake but she wasn't there at all. It was like she just vanished in thim air. At that moment the air in the class became chilly and everything slowed down. The sight my eyes feasted on was one that i didnt even think existed.

In the place of miss blake stood another woman. Same model height as miss Blake and graceful in her beauty too. She stood there looking... no staring at me. With those big green eyed of hers. It was a stare that made my palms sweat more and my stomach turned. Her eyes, they seemed as though they could see deep into my very existence, my soul. The scariest thing was that she had no business with the other one hundred and four students in my class. No, she didn't even blink or turn her head, she just kept staring at me. The thought that was running across my mind was to get up and run out the door. But she was too close to the door. The tag of war waged on in my mind on whether to run or stay and wait her to disappear.

Finally, i had made a descision. I had decided to make a run for it. I gathered enough strength to jolt fiward and waited for the adrenaline to kick in. Although my eyes and and madam mysterious eyes were still locked, my mind had already run for ots safety.

Just before i stood up to run, i heard my name. I was confused because all my concentration was on the woman standing in place of miss Blake. So when i heard my name i thought she had called my name. The funny thing was that i had not noticed her lips move.

"Davies!! Davies!!" This was miss Blake speaking. She put hed right hand on my shoulder and shook me to my senses. That was when i reaoised she had collected the papers of all the other students except mine. "Are you okay Davies?" She asked out of concern. I was her best student after all.

"Huh... I'm okay. I'm sorry, just a little tired from last night." I said, looking through her flawless face and into her amber eyes.

"Are you sute you're fine because you've barely written anything on your question paper." She reminded me of how stupid i felt seeing Gregory writting and writting as i stared blankly into the ceiling.

"Yeah. I'm fine miss Blake. Thanks for the concern. I appreciate it." I only said that because she was starting to nag me and with what i had just seen i was noy quite in the mood. Speaking of miss 'miss mysterious' i looked back at the front of the class expecting her to still be there giving me that stare.

Infront of the class was a brown wooden table that the teacher used and behind it was a green board with the word EXAM written on it in somewhat perfect handwritting- miss Blake's of course- The woman with green eyes who had given me the fright of a lifetime was no more. She had jusd disapperes into thin air. Which was not quite a surprise since she left just the way she came in, 'out of nowhere'.

After that my mind was swarmed with questions about 'her'....

Who was she? where had she come from? Why was she only looking at me? So after all that i needed fresh air.

Gregory came over to my seat and started gloating already. I guess he'd seen me writting nothing on my paper or maybe staring blankly into the ceiling. "Yo!! Davies, guess what, thet trophy is mine this time round." If there was one person who had the ability to make my blood boil was Gregory. He was this plump guy with well kept blonde hair -to tell you the truth i envied his hair.- He had a deep voice and when he spoke, he had this english accent. Yes he was from london.

"I don't care whether you...."

"Ooops!!! Did you say something??? I couldnt hear you over the sound of me gloating."

That was it! He manages to piss me off on normal days and today he had crossed the line. To make matters worse, today was no normal day. My face went red with fury. I was still seated and Greg was standinh right next to me. I looked up at his face and he was laughing. I clenched my fists and took a dive into his belly and down we went.

I had my hands around his belly so we both went down, rolled from the back where i was seated, over the stairs to the front of the class. By the time we stopped rolling, my head was spinning so fast i could have sworn i saw five gregs. Greg was not the kind of guy who enjoyed fighting or fights at that, so when he got up, his shirt intacked, he lacked one shoe and a swelling was beginning to appear on his forehead from bumping his head on one of the steps on the stair case.

"There is something wrong with you! First you don't write anything on your exam, you stare at the board for ten minites and now you want to fight me??? Something is going on and i am going to find out what!" Those are the word Greg said in a shaky voice, kinda like he was about to cry. But, i didn't care what he said.

At that time we had attracted the attention of the class, well those still in class and some nosy students standing by the door just looking. I looked around and felt stupid but still, i didnt care. Besides there was nothing any of them could have done.

I heard bella outside shouting and screaming to be let in. I looked at the people at the door and immediately Bella came running in. She was wearing a perplexed look on her face and the same time i could sense a hiny of anger in that look but she didnt show it. She came fast and hugged me for a few minutes.

"Are you okay??? Are you hurt??"

"Am fine Bella."

"Oh my God! You bleeding Davies. Lets go stitch this up."

"Its fine Bella. Its just a scratch."

"Lets go!" She ordered me. I had no choice. My queen had just spolen so i had to follow her. She pooked at the students at the... " What the hell are you looking at?"

I heard this and a smile formed on my face. She the fierce Bella that i liked.

So what do you think about chapter 2??
