Mystery Of The Masked Man [Completed]

4. Mysterious.

Chloe's POV
After school, I decided to call Tori over, but for that I had to clean my room as mom says "your room should be clean if any guest comes"
Tori wasn't a guest she was more like a part of my Lil family, but I nevertheless had to cleanse the room.
And then basically I shoved the things under my bed and the rest I was going to invest in my drawer.
As I opened the drawer, I saw MASKED MAN's note and his watch.
I don't know why I kept those things with me. What I knew was that, this was a very weird incident that occurred and somehow I didn't desire to forget about it.
His eyes.
He was weird. He was mysterious. But then again, he was caring "apply ice to that" shows concern.
It felt every bit if he was changing personalities. In a moment he would act so cold and mysterious, but then be all jerky with me and comment on me. As if he wanted to talk, but then again, something was stopping him to do so.
And he could basically rob the whole house, but he decided to take my photo and some cash. Why.
All his actions were creeping me out as I thought deeply about them.
His deep green eyes held so much in it. It was like he is hiding many emotions. Not knowing exactly what but mostly what I saw was pain.
Was he is pain ?
What happened to him?
He doesn't sit on the sidewalk anymore. Where did he go?
Is he alright?
Suddenly I felt a bit of soft corner for him. He didn't harm me or anything so I have no right to hate him, do I?
But I was curious to know what happen-
'Ding Dong'
'Ding Dong'
Breaking into my thoughts the bell was ringing.
I moved downstairs to open the door and as soon as I did, Tori cried out at me.
"Are you mad, where were you? Why did you take so long to open the door idiot!!?"

"I-uh uh-m I was cleaning my room and had earphones so couldn't hear the bell, come in" I muttered.

"Are you hiding something??" I detest it when she does this.

"Yes, I possess a serial killer in my room" I teased her.

"You do?" her eyes were open wide with shock.

"Hahahhaha no idiot I am just kidding come on lets go up" I giggled at her response.

I love myself for changing the topic.
Thank God.

"Then did you apply for NYU yet??" She inquired with worry.
Okay, so we both have a thing for NYU, it's like a dream come true, We both have worked really hard in our alevels to get to NYU. Currently we both are in alevel 2 which means our next stop is NYU. Hopefully.
We have applied to many, but as the song goes
'The heart wants what it wants'.

"Yup I did, what about you??" I replied as I sat down on my bed.

"Yeah, I did, let's just hope for the best," she sighed.

"Cheer up girl, NYU is our next stop very soon," I said hopefully.

Her major is film making so she is going to be a director very soon.
And I am more of a designing person so I will be taking fashion designing IF I get to go there.

"Then did you select any dorm" she demanded.

"Actually, I did some research and it states that the dorms will have a senior and a junior which means we can't sustain the same dorm" I was sad really sad because I desired to stick with her.

"At least we will be in the same University," she tried to cheer me up.

It kinda worked I think.

"Okay, so what are you doing after the exams" I asked her excitedly.

"Ah don't even remind me of the exams. It's not like I am not prepared, but still hearing this word gave me chills." She exaggerated.

"Shut up I am not talking about exams, I am talking about the holidays after it, 3 more weeks and grade 12 is over, aren't you excited" I was definitely high.

"Yes, but in between we have exams" she cried.

What I did do to merit such a negative friend.

"Can you not realize I am trying to forget about studies and you keep on prompting me about it, ugh, I hate you for destroying my efforts" I said annoyed-ly.

"I just can't get the pressure out of my head, do you have some good movies to watch," she asked trying to make up for ruining my efforts.

"Okay, now we are talking" I was definitely in a mood for a good movie. And by good I am trying to say not a cheesy romantic movie but a comedy one.

"But you are so not picking up the movie; it's my house so I get to pick up the movie"

"Then are you planning on torturing me with one of your action movies or what?"

"Hahaha no no do not worry, I am not going to torture you with one of my action movies" I taunted her with her dialog.

"Then what," she was shocked that I wasn't gonna make her watch an action movie.

"Minions" my passion for those tiny little cute creatures was known by her.

"Um, okay, fine, at least it's better than watching an action movie so let's do this" she truly was grateful.

"I will pop some popcorns in the microwaves till then you arrange up the TV for me will ya??" I demanded as I worked my path to the kitchen.

I arrived back with some popcorn and pop cans and she was already ready on the couch.
She switched off the lights because she wanted 'the cinema feel'.

It was an awesome movie and as a great deal as she wouldn't want to agree, she enjoyed it excessively and I caught it with my own eyes.

By the time mom was back from the hospital, we cleaned the lounge and shook off the soda cans so she wouldn't suspect a thing.
Not that she would be furious if she found out that we spread popcorn all over the couch or spilled the soda but just in case you know.
NOTE THE SARCASM.

After dinner, she left.
Mom was tired and so was I, so we decided to sleep instead of cleaning up.
Why is it so hard to fall asleep?
All I could think about were those green eyes and they were driving me nuts.
Like why the hell those eyes are troubling me. It's like they follow me were everywhere I go. Not in a way to harm, but somehow I don't know, ugh I am so mixed up.

I am just gonna forget about them now, I have other things to think like about like my exams-
Oh my exams, it gave me shivers.
Okay, so I have to start planning on my schedule.
No, wait, I need to sleep or else I am gonna sleep in-between classes.

My phone vibrated.
1 new message.

'Are you asleep babes??'
Victoria.

'Was planning to'
I typed.

'Oh ok Good night, then, save some pancakes for me in the morning'
Victoria.

'Good night Tori'
I typed as slipped my phone under my pillow and prepared myself for a good night's sleep.
