chapter 5

Alexandra's POV

When the mass started I couldn't even focus on what is the priest saying because I kept thinking about the shadow yesterday.

I don't even know if that's real or I just imagine it. I was in a deep thought when I felt someone shaking me.

"Alexandra!" I went to the reality when my parents shout at me, "Alexandra Smith stand up now or we will leave you here!" My mom shouted so I quickly stood up then my parents walk up to the doors of the church but then I saw the shadow again.

Then the shadow mouthed at me the words you will be mine, when it said that it sent shivers down my spine so I quickly ran out of the church then when I look for the car, I realised that my parents left me then I saw Claire sitting on the bench.

Then it started to rain so I ran towards her then quickly took off my jacket then place it over her head.

Then she looked up to me then I saw tears flowing out of her eyes, I was so shock then I sat down beside not bothering the rain.

"What's the problem?" I asked her, "Tita left us." She replied but I didn't believe her because her eyes says it all.

"So your boyfriend broke up with you huh?" I asked her with a sigh, when she heard what I said then relaxed, "yeah..." she said while sniffing.

"I told you he's no good." I said while patting her back, his name is Sean or we call him Pasion. His our classmate since grade 6.

"I guess you're right." She said with a sad tone. "You know John Paul really likes you since grade 1." I said smirking since I knew that he can hear us right now.

I saw him looking at her or should I say STALKING her. He would always ask me about her and tell me that she is so beautiful and he would always tell me that he likes her.

Her eyes widen, she actually didn't like him before because he would usually follow her everywhere.

"Oh, really?" She asked blushing, I was smirking because I can see him behind the doors of the church.

"You can go out now." I said, looking towards him while smiling and nodding then stood up then walk towards home, he actually texted saying that he would confess to her today.

So I left them to be alone, she already know how to go home. I wonder what they are talking about right now.

Claire's POV

I was so confuse on what Alexa is looking at, so I look over to what she is looking at then I was so suprised to see my secret crush.

Before, when I was grade 1 I had a crush to him then when Sean was my boyfriend I regretted that decision.

Until now  I still has a crush over him. He shyly walk over to us then I saw Alexa nod at him then walk away from us.

I look over to him to see that he is blushing so hard that his face is so red than the color of the strawberry.

"Sooo...." I ask shyly then look away. "W-well I j-just want to s-say something to you." He said then gulped.

"What is it?" I ask feeling so nervous, I don't know why I feel so nervous.

"I l-love you." He said, my eyes widen that I forgot how to breath, I never realised that he felt the same way as I do in the past few years.

I don't know what to feel right now, if I feel happy or sad. Sad because I don't really have that kind of feelings for him anymore and happy because I know what he really feels about me.

"I love you too." I said, I didn't realised what I said but I didn't regretted it, I don't know why.

Then he quickly hugged me so tight that I can't breath anymore. Then he asked me the question that I want to hear from him.

"Can you be my girlfriend?" He ask me while hugging me tightly, my eyes widen then I started crying then I nodded, saying that I want to be his girlfriend.

When we separated we quickly took each others numbers to contact each other. We then bid each other goodbye then I started walking towards the house while smiling that people are looking at me like I am a crazy person.

Alexandra's POV

When Claire arrive I was sitting on the couch waiting for her. When she went inside the house I saw her smiling brightly so I tried to call her but she didn't look at me or answer me do I thought that I should just ask her tomorrow morning.

So I went to my bedroom to get ready to go to bed. I went inside my bedroom then change into my pj's then went over to my bed to sleep.

When I was on my bed, I tried to fall asleep but I can't because I keep thinking about that shadow at the kitchen and at the church and the words that the shadow mouthed at me at the church.

So I just texted Claire on my phone asking what happened earlier between them two, she just replied with a smiley face and saying that she will say it tomorrow at school.

I forgot that we have school tomorrow so I got up from bed then ready my stuff for school.

When I was done fixing my things for school I glance at my alarm clock to see that its already 12 o'clock.

So I just went to my bed again then tried to sleep again but I can't so I just play on my phone so I can distract myself from thinking that shadow and so I can fall asleep.

Its already 1 in the morning but I can't still fall asleep so I just look up at the ceiling then think about nothing then ready myself for tomorrow.

Then I felt my eyes feeling heavy so I closed my eyes then I was asleep.
