Redemption

Chapter 12

Oh yeah... He's a murderer or something like that. He looks like a normal student to the eye but...

He sees me look nervously at his belt and looks down to see why.

" Ah! I almost forgot I had that there. Woops..." He pulls the weapon out and puts it next to my face.

"You won't tell people about this, yes?" He lowers the gun to my neck.

I nod. Tears stung my eyes.

"Oh, no crying now. We wouldn't want that would we?" He sarcastically frowns down at me as he puts the gun back to were he got it.

" W-why are you here?" I try to hide my fright.

" Why? why... Oh! Right. I almost forgot why I was here. Your so fun to mess around with that I lost my train of thoughts." He chuckles to himself.

His face suddenly turns serious. " Roy." He says. "I'd suggest you stay away from him."

He walks to my window and opens it. "He's just like me you know..." He jumps out the window on to the roof.

I jolt to my feet and rush over to were he had jumped. " Wait!" I yell without even thinking first.

He frowned at me. " What...?"

I open my mouth to speak, but I stopped myself from speaking as I bit my lower lip.

" Well? I don't got all day lady." He taps his foot as he got inpatient.

" You- how is Roland like you?... Who are you exactly?" I question him.

He goes completely serious at this point. "He hasn't told you yet...? Sad... Well, he-"

He was cut off by the sound of the front door opening.

" Ah! Well, thats my cue."  He jumps off the roof onto the ground and strolls off onto the street. His hands tucked ino his jean pockets. "See ya." He slighty shouted.

'See ya.' His words played over and over in my head. The thought of him barging into my room again made my stomach churn.

I close the window and locked it up. I never wanted to open that window ever agian.

I sit down on my bed. My hand touches something soft. It was the scarf Roland had givin me. I pick it up and wrap it around my neck.

'He's just like me you know...' 

What's that supposed to mean? Roland's nothing like him.

I lay down on my bed, not as scared as before. My eyes slowly close and seal. I fell asleep.
.

After a week or two from the night of the intruder, it was Friday morning.

I got myself ready and went on my way to school. It started raining half my though my walk and I forgot my umbrella so a ran the rest of the way.

When I finally reach the school, I was soaked.

I let out a couple of heavy breaths and a sigh. When I raised my head I see Roland waiting in front of the building.

I rush up to him. " Why are you out here?" I say worriedly. "Its poring."

" I could say the same about you..." he points down at my clothes.
I was dripping.

" Well... I forgot my umbrella." I say, turning my gaze away from his.

" Well... come on."

He walks me to the bathroom and waits outside.
