I sit in class with Ivan in front of me, taking notes. I can't help but stare at him and think about us. Every time I look at him, it's like everyone and everything fades away. It's only him and I in the room. I tap the eraser end of my pencil against my note book and I look out the window. I sigh and then my phone vibrates. I sneak a look and there's and unknown number and the message reads "Mistress Naomi, why do you look so bored? Is it really that boring? I am rather fond of learning about John F. Kennedy. He was a really good President." I look up from my phone and look around. My phone vibrates again, "Don't bother looking for me... You cannot find me anywhere.... Meet me behind the school and don't let him see you."
I look around trying to see something. I look out the window just at the right time and I see a hooded figure. When I see a hooded figure I get this... "feeling" I should say. Where I get all dizzy and I faint but this time, It's different. I don't get it. I stare at the hooded figure walking away from the school and I hear Ivan calling my name. I snap out of it and look at him, standing up next to me "huh?" "You alright?" Ivan asks. "Oh... yeah." I look out the window and the hooded figure is gone.
Ivan and I walk down the hall, hand in hand and we go to my locker first. "Would you like to tell me what happened in there?" Ivan leans on the lockers next to my locker. I grab my Psychology textbook and note book out of my locker while I reply, "What do you mean?" "I mean, in the class room. You looked like you seen a ghost" the bell rings and he stops and say "Oh, I have to go. I have a test in Algebra 2" He kisses me and then rushes down the hall. I sigh and I shut my locker. "Something like that.."
When school lets out I sit at a table outside reading and waiting for Ivan. He walks out with his friends and I can hear his laughter. I smile and look up from my book. Ivan smiles at me and walks up "What'cha readin'?" I lift up the cover and he reads "Wuthering Heights? Who reads that?" He looks at me and I look at him. "Alright.. stupid question but how can you read that stuff?" I giggle and close the book. "I'm staying after for a project. I need to look up some stuff up in the reference section in the library." He smiles "Okay." Obviously he's happy with me. I've never seen him happier.
We say our goodbyes. He gets in his car and leaves. I watch his car pull out of the school parking lot. I start to make my way to the back of the school. I see the hooded figure there. He's leaning against the wall with one leg up with his foot flat against the wall. He's in jeans, converse sneakers, and a black hoodie. "Oh, you came. I was not expecting you to." He says. "Who are you?" I ask. He gets off the wall and takes his hood off. I look into his sapphire blue eyes, pinkish lips, and sandy blonde hair. He flashes a charming smile. Deja vu strikes me.
"Come on, Naomi. Remember me?" he says. I look down at my book and then back at him "James? Right?" He smile and nods. He crosses his arms over his chest and I start seeing something pointy, poking through his gums. I start to feel afraid. Before I can stop it, I start to run. He runs in front of me too quick. It's like he was there one minute and then in a blink of an eye, he moved. He shakes his head as he moves towards me. I back up as my heart starts pounding against my rib cage. "I can hear your heart beat" He says as he reaches towards my head.
He brushes his fingers through my hair "such a waste..." His fingers lightly touches the side of my neck. He looks into my eyes and says "Don't move. Don't scream." His pupils dilate. I can't move. He tilts my head and puts his mouth on my neck. I feel this sharp pain on my neck and I jump grabbing onto his sleeve, gripping tightly. I wince and I start to lose my vision. "S-Stop...P-Please.." I whisper lightly. He drops me and I can hear him trying to catch his breath. I fall to the ground. I hear my phone fall onto the concrete ringing but I still can't move.
I wake up behind the school and it is dark. I sit up and look at my phone. There's 3 missed calls and 2 texts. One call is from Ivan, the other two is from home. I stand up and fall over. I grab the wall to brace myself. I walk over to my car and get in it. I try to start my car but it won't start. I start to panic and look around. I grab my phone, shaking, I dial Ivan's number. He picks up, he must've been sleeping cause he sounds tired, "Hello..." "I-Ivan...." I start to cry "Ivan, come get me please... I'm s-so scared...." There's movement on the other end and he sounds more lively "Naomi?" I put my hand to my neck and feel a warm sticky substance. I turn on the light and look at my hand..." I-Is that... Blood??..." I say quietly "Naomi.. What's wrong?.." He asks. "Just come get me.. please.. I'm at the school." I hear silence on the other end then this beeping noise. I end the call and wait.
I see a flash of light in the mirror but I'm losing a lot of blood and my vision is blurred. The door opens and I can hear Ivan's voice, "Naomi... Look at me..." I sit there. I almost feel lifeless. I can't move. "You're cold.." Ivan says. "Naomi.. Listen to me, I'm taking you to the hospital... You're going to b-" He stops and moves my head to look at my neck. "Oh my god..." Every thing is fading. I can't move.. I can't talk.... What's happening to me? "I-Ivan... I-I'm s-sorry..." I manage to say.. "No.. No no.. Stay with me.. It's going to be okay." He picks me up and puts me in his car.. That's the last thing I see.... Every thing is black. Lifeless.. Empty..
