The Ice Queen

Chapter 8

Chapter Eight

To say that I was shocked was definitely an understatement.

"Lame-overdue-halloween-costume-slash-attacker guy!"

I might have been a little loud. But I'm not that loud to cause the class to rush outside and avert Liam the prefect's attention...I think.

The creepy guy saw himself being surrounded. "Hey, you there!" Liam the prefect ran to us. Just so you know, Liam the prefect is the one and only Liam Victor Christopher. He's the school prefect on assigned days.

"What's all the commotion all about?" Liam squirmed his way to the creepy guy. He faced the watching audience and scowled, "Back to class!"

The creepy guy took this as an opportunity and ran off. Liam followed in pursuit. I was kinda curious and followed too.

My, my, ain't I a little brave today? I don't usually skip class, or get so angry at a guy, or follow a creepy guy I'm so angry at, and most definitely not the type to wake up late. The root of it all, I'm guessing, is that creepy guy we're still chasing.

The creepy guy sure has stamina. We've been chasing him for quite sometime now but....you can say luck is on our side. He ran inside the school theatre which, I guarantee, has no other exit except the door I just closed. Creepy guy looked around frantically and I just smiled.

"Payback, Creepy guy!" I lunged at him and tried to take off the hood that covers his face. When I did so, I found out that he's wearing a mask. I sighed in frustration and again lunged to reach for the mask. But then Liam held me back.

"Janelle! Don't be so violent towards him!" I glared at Liam and shook him off.

" Sorry Liam" I mumbled "Many things happened to me and it's all because of him."

"That's no excuse, Janelle" Liam scolded "You have to properly behave like a hairess or if you won't, you'll face dire consequences."

"But Liam-"

"You're Janelle Avril?" Liam and I faced the masked/creepy man. He smiled at me and Liam then snapped his fingers. "And you're Liam Christopher!"

Liam and I looked at each other. "You know us?"

"Uh yeah-um, uh, how do you explain this kind of thing?" He looked nervous. "Wait right there. I'll-uh- gonna get something."

he rubbed the back of his head and smiled at us. Embarassed is he?

"Oh, no you don't," Liam approched the guy and cuffed the detention bracelet. "Even if you're not a student, you still get detention. What is your rank?"

"My rank?" The guy looked at the bracelet and laughed which, only made Liam angrier. "I don't have a rank. I guess Amber forgot to tell me."

It was obvious. I know it. Hearing Amber's name from the mouth of a suspicious guy...sure suspicious but heart-warming. I really miss Amber.

"How did you know Amber?" Liam asked "Wait- before that- whose Amber? Ours?"

"Dude!" The guy exclaimed. He rummaged through his hoodie's inner pockets. I'm surprised there's so many. After he was done, he showed us a letter and pictures. Not ordinary pictures, they were special ones. The pictures were of me and Amber and Liam and- well let's say the whole gang. It was wallet sized. I know this picture too well. This was Amber's copy.

"Where did you get that from?" I asked. As an answer, he gave me the letter, telling me to read it. I carefully opened it and read it slowly. The first sentence already made me smile.

Dear Janelle, Kimberly, Liam,

         Hallo to layka alu of you! (Hello to like, all of you. That's what I meant in case you don't get it.) Greetings! I now rise up from the dead! Jokes! XD

         My dear friends, my other friend, Oliver Hogwarts is gonna, like, go there? I really hope that you make him feel rea~lly at home. He's the son of my bodyguard. Details of him are down below. He's a real catch. Pure british. Really trustworthy. I really had him in mind for your safety problem. Is he wearing a mask? Love that trick. Really creeped you out, Janelle didn't I? Kimberly deary! Do not fret for your knight in shining armor with a mask is here! Your phantom awaits! Hahaha

         Liam, Oliver Hogwarts is a good guy- I repeat- A good guy. I totally put my trust that he's going to protect all of you well. I promise. He's very decent since he's from a distinguished family of bodyguards. Anyway, Olivy darling! Please do your job well. I granted my part of the bargain so do yours too.

         Anyways now, buh bye now! Have fun, my dears!

Love as crazy as it sounds,

Amber Maria de la plaza Concepcion dela cruz Mercedes dela Rosa! (kidding people!)

Love love as always always!

Amber Kingsly the great XD

I was smiling after reading the letter. Inside the envelope was a picture of Amber and the so-called Oliver Hogwarts. This proves that they do know each other. Another something contained inside the letter was a piece of paper. It said:

     Oliver Hogwarts

     •18 years

     •Prodigy

     •British

     •Funny and humorous

     •Playboy (jk people! XD)

     •Trustworthy

     •Honest, and most of all

     •Knows Karate, judo....self defenses, in short!

     •Such a great strategist!

     °The perfect bodyguard!

I looked up from the letter. The creepy guy took off his mask and is now staring at me. Now I can see his feautures clearly.

He had chestnut hair and green eyes. He was slim and well muscled. His stance was always as if he was ready to pounce anywhere. I know that stance. That's only the stance that all my bodyguards had.

I noticed something small at the bottom of the paper.

PS: His weakness: Cats. Can face big cats such as tigers and lions but he's extremely weak against small cats. Take care of him!

I'll really make sure to take good care of him, I thought. Just then the doors flew open and in storms my friend Kimberly in a hysterical rage.

"Why did you cut class!" She demanded. She slumped down on one of the seats. "Because of that, I was bullied again."

I was sorry. I completely forgot about her. Before Liam and I could rush to her side, Oliver already sat beside her.

"What did they do to you?" He asked.

I raised a brow and Liam glared. I guess Oliver was a little bit of a playboy.

"It doesn't matter now, "Kimberly sniffed. "Anyways, where was the Oliver Hogwarts Amber was talking about. I bet he's a wuss and can't stand protecting people his age."

Liam and I stifled a laugh. Even Oliver smiled. "I'm not a wuss, beautiful."

Kimberly stared at Oliver like she was recalling something....and she did. "You!" Kimberly jumped out of her seat and hided behind me. "You're Oliver Hogwarts!" She yelped. Now Liam and I are laughing.

"Oh my gosh!" Kimberly glared at Liam and me. "How much did I miss? Tell me everything!"

And so we did.
