The Dark Souls •H.S•

•- T.H.R.E.E -•

The whole day I couldn't help it, but I just thought about that guy Harold. His captivating, darkest shade of green, eyes. His eyes are just too familiar, I get a familiar feeling when I see his eyes. The type of eyes I can't ever forget. The type of eyes, that has been haunting me in my sleep. The type of eyes, which steals all my breath away. But I just can't recall where I have seen those type of eyes.

Suddenly, I bump into someone. I didn't really pay attention to who I bumped onto, while mumbling a sorry and walking away/ it surprised me when someone pulled me, out of my thoughts and back to reality.

"Hey! What the-" I stopped as soon as I realised who pulled me, it is my best friend Meg. I relax soon and let out a sigh of relief.

"Where were you the whole day?" She asked me, with a confused frown.

"I was here, in school. Why?" I asked, with confusion filling my voice.

"Well, you weren't exactly in the school. Something seems like bothering you." Said she, she really is a good observer because my own mum couldn't tell what's wrong with me.

"I don't know, I am just a little confused" I said,

"What's wrong, Hun?" She asks me,

"Well it's a guy actually" I said, I don't know why but I could feel my whole body heating up, as if I am in the boiling tub in the Looney tunes.

"Guy huh?" She teased, while bumping her hips with mine. I roll my eyes in response.

"Yeah, what's the use of those good looks if he's such a rude b*st*rd." I complained with my arms crossed and with a small 'hmph' at the end making Meg laugh out of amusement. I then throw a glare at her when she raises her hands in the air as a sign of surrender.

"So, does that rude b*st*rd has a name or what?" Meg asked, emphasising the nickname I gave to him,

"Yeah, so the guy named Har-" I was interrupted by two other best friends of mine.

Ryan was chasing behind Joe with some weird looking tiny balloons. When Joe's eyes fell on me, his eyes just lit up and he ran towards me and then hides behind me.

"Woah guys, NOT in the hallway, do not make a mess in the corridor, Principal will come for our heads tomorrow." Meg warns, clearly knows what's going on, while I didn't quite understand what was going on.

"Yeah? Well Joe should've thought that before" and after I realised what's going on, it was too late because the tiny water balloon is flying towards me.

Something clicks inside my brain, in panic I cover my face by the back of my hand and the time just seems to stop. Everything was slower, if that's even possible. I could feel the balloon, hot and soft on my palm. No matter how slow the time goes, I am always the target. The balloon just pops on my hand, water flowing down on my hands, shoulders and my top.

When I uncover my face, the time seems to be going perfectly fine. People around walking and rushing outside the school because it's the last day of day one of school. But we four were completely still. We were looking at each other, unsure what to do next or unsure of what just happened. Then Joe takes out another water balloon from his bag and aimed it on Ryan. Ryan notices him and they both run off outside the school. Meg beside me, is just laughing at their goofiness.

Didn't they notice what happened? Didn't they feel like the time stopped? Didn't they feel something happening?

"Earth to Emily!" Meg said, while I see a blurry hand waving in front of my eyes.

"What were you saying?" I asked, turning to her.

"You were saying?" She asks,

"Saying what?" I look at her with confusion, what was I saying?

"A guy?" She asks,

"Oh right, well it's nothing. Just some weird guy in my class." I said, smiling at her with assurance.

"Okay" she said, pulling out the O in an awkward manner.

"Hey Meg, I heard some girls talking about 'them.' Who are these 'them'?" I ask her, out of curiousity. She stopped walking along with me and looked at me.

"Uh, just some guys who got left he school after some incident. I don't know what happened." She said, not really explaining me the whole details. The way she said it makes me think that she really don't want to be bothered by it, so I don't ask her anything further, even if she knows more than I do about the "incident."

"So, which planet have you made a house into?" She asks breaking the long silence after I asked her that question, I give her a confused frown.

"What do you mean?" I ask her,

"Well, you've been zoning out a lot lately. So I thought you are living in another planet or something" she explained, I let out a small laugh.

"Mars" I said, with some humour in my voice.

"No way! I thought humans don't get to be there! Like there is no life for humans!" She said, exaggerating.

"Well, what can I say? I ain't human" I said with a wink and suddenly she started coughing.

"Oh my God, Meg! Here drink up" I said, patting her back with my left hand while my other hand reaches out for a water bottle and once I found it, I open the lid immediately and hand it over to her. She takes a huge gulp of water and lets out a sigh of relief.

"Geez best friend, I don't want to go to jail because of people thinking I choked my own best friend." I said, looking at her with my eyes filled with worry.

She just smiles and shakes her head.

"I will make sure you won't go to jail, because I won't ever die" she said, with a wink while I roll my eyes in response.

We walk in silence in the empty, deadly hallway, the only sound of our shoes clicking against the shiny, tiled floor. I like it when the school is quiet like this. It just fills peace inside my chest.

"Meg?" I turn to look at her,

"Hmm?" She responds,

"Did you- Did you feel something when Ryan threw that balloon?" I ask

"Feel what Hun?" She asks

"Like suddenly the time stopping and everything just stopped moving." I said,

"Oh Hun, its normal." She turns to look at me with an assuring smile.

No matter how good Meg is in observing, I am as good as her because pretty eyes don't lie. I saw the hesitation in them, which no matter how hard she tried to hide, I could still see them. She is definitely hiding something that I should supposed to know.

"C'mon the guys must've wet the whole school outside" she said and dragged me outside by my hand.
