Deadly Attraction

Chapter 3: Voices In My Head

~Sunday~

I woke up startled as I looked around my room. Nothing was there. The sunlight was casting an orange glow into my room. I got up from my bed and walked to my mirror looking at myself. Nothing was wrong with me. I went downstairs where my mother was getting ready for work. "Good Morning Vale, hun. How did you sleep?" She said as she rushed. "Okay, I guess." I answered back. "I'll see you tonight, love." She said as she walked out the door. I went to watch tv and as I was watching the tv, I heard something other than the voices from the tv. I turned down the volume and the voices stopped, so I turned the tv back on and then the voices started again. It was weird and kind of scary at the same time. I turned off the tv and went to my room. I sat on my bed and grabbed the book, I was reading and as time went by I had found myself drifting to sleep. I closed my eyes for what seemed like a minute but when I woke up it was 2 o'clock. I couldn't believe that I had slept that long. I checked my phone to see, I had one missed call from my mother. I listened to it... "Sorry honey, I'm working late again at the hospital. Won't be home until tomorrow afternoon. See you soon!" How great, I thought to myself. I put on a jacket and my shoes. I went downstairs, before I left I grabbed my keys. I closed the door behind me and locked it.

I was standing in line at the coffee shop when someone behind me spoke. "Hey, pretty eyes. Let me buy you a coffee. Anything you want." When I turned around it was him, the guy I saw before. "Are you following me, you stalker?" I asked with wide eyes. He chuckled at my remark. " No I'm not following you, you just happen to be at all the places I love going." I rolled my eyes. "What's with the sunglasses, we're inside?" He smiled, showing off his amazing white smile. "Oh how you would just love to know!" He smirked at me. "Actually, no I wouldn't." I turned back around, rolling my eyes. "Feisty, very feisty, kitten. I like it." He whispered the last part into my ear. I shuddered at his disgusting remark. "You really are beautiful. Can I get your name?" He asked. "Next!" called the cashier. "Can I get a Pumpkin Spice Latte, please." I asked "Sure, what's your name?" Asked the young lady, standing in front of me. "Yeah, it umm..." I paused "Vale, Valentina..." SHe smiled at me. "Alright, when we have it. We will call you when it's done." She smiled again. "Thank you." I went to sit down and saw the guy talking to the cashier, she was giggling and blushing, I rolled my eyes. Of course he was the player type. You could just tell. He started walking over to me with both coffees after he paid. "Um, thank you.." He sighed, "You're welcome." I looked around. "So, your name, can I know?" I asked. "Maybe, if you agree to go on a date with me, tomorrow night. I'll tell you everything you want to know." "Hmm.." I thought about it. "Fine, 7 o'clock, don't be late." I smiled at him before I got up to leave. "Harry," He said to me as I got up. "The name is Harry and this is your phone." Harry waved it in front of my face. I took it back as I looked at him confused. "Don't ask, but let's just say I'll be texting you tonight." I shook my head in disbelief as I walked out of the coffee shop, but not before I turned around to see a smirking Harry.

I was in my room, writing my paper when my phone went off. I grabbed it and looked at the message .

Harry: Hello beautiful.

Valentina: Hi...

Harry: What are you doing?

Valentina: My homework.

Harry: That's cool, so I'm guessing you have school tomorrow.

Valentina: Yes.

It took Harry a while to type back, so I added a couple of paragraphs to my paper. When i was finishing up my phone went off again.

Harry: Does that mean our plans are cancelled?

Valentina: You mean our date?

Harry: Yeah, our date... Is it cancelled?

Valentina: No, of course not.

Harry: Great. I'll see you tomorrow, angel.

Valentina: Okay, goodnight Harry.

Harry: Goodnight angel.

~Monday~

I was in school doing my senior project when the realization of me, finally graduating hit me. I couldn't believe that I was finally walking the stage, getting my diploma. Everything was happening so quickly, my life was changing. I would be in college soon. I was already accepted to so many, but of course the one that caught my eye the most was Harvard University. I always dreamed about attending there. It would be a dream come true. Only the really smart/talented people can go there. I got my credits and all my senior hours. I was on the right track. The bell rang for lunch, I got my stuff and headed to the lunchroom once I got there I saw my best friend Amy standing in line to get a sub, I walked up behind her, poked her sides and laughed as she jumped. "Vale, aren't you getting too old for that?" She gave me her signature look. "No, I will never be too old to mess with you." I smirked and gave her a small smile. She smiled back at me, rolling her eyes and turned around. "Amy, did you finish your senior project?" I asked her, concerned because last time I asked she was having a hard time with it. She turned around and sighed. "Valentina Rose, I'm sorry to say but.." She paused before saying "I think, you just turned into my mother." I started laughing as she laughed with me. When we got our food we went to sit down at our table. We started talking again. "Why does it feel like just yesterday it was freshman year?" I asked. "Yeah, it's crazy! Its also just like yesterday we were crushing on the Jonas Brothers!" I laughed again, shaking my head with a smile as I began eating.

I was at home, it was 5 o'clock, I was going on a date with Harry in 2 hours. I don't know why I was feeling so nervous. I had just got done with my shower when I got a text from him.

Harry: Hey Valentina!

Valentina: Hi Harry, what's up?

Harry: There's a problem..

I looked at the text, thinking he was going to cancel the date. I texted him back.

Valentina: What happened?

I waited for awhile before he texted back.

Harry: I have NOTHING to wear!

I laughed softly a smile appearing on my face.

Valentina: Harry, you are so crazy. I'll text you what I'm wearing the you can figure out what you're wearing. Okay?

Harry: Okay beautiful, thank you!😉

I smiled a little at the message, rolling my eyes. I walked to my closet looking around for anything dressy to wear. I decided on a short white dress with grey sparkles around the top and the bottom with sparkly grey flats. I curled my hair with my wand and looked at myself. Satisfied with how I looked I sent the picture. My phone lit up with a message from Harry.

Harry: You look absolutely stunning! I think I know exactly what I'm wearing.

Valentina: You are too kind!😊

I heard a knock on the door, I had already told my mom about the date, she said it was fine as long as we weren't too crazy and as long as he wasn't in the house and in my room for that matter. I opened the door...
