Chapter 2

His name was Jason Adom, weird name - but cute. For the rest of the the periods we had, he never ceased to make me laugh. It was him-my angel Jason. I knew Jihad had already started feeling insecure but did I care?
After all, weren't we just friends?

Just before closing, Jason turned to me and said confidently, "I actually dont know your name but..." he stopped and I roared with laughter. It had now dawned on me that I never told him my name. How I got to know his? Thats my secret
"okay okay,I know your name.... Was just kidding"
"kidding?" I laughed
"ah Jason! Kidding as in when a goat is giving birth?" at this we both laughed and yet again brought attention to us.
We packed our books and went to the dining hall when it was time for lunch.
After lunch, i met him outside before turning in the opposite direction towards my dorm.
" Don't do anything i wouldn't do... I know you know" he said and walked away.
           **********************
My lungs and heart were pumping, but the air didn't seem to be enough as i sprinted forward, panic trembling in my exhausted limbs.

He was catching up.i dashed through the opened school gate almost knocking the security man on duty  down. He yelled and i almost tripped.
I stopped to check if Jihad was still catching up but no-he had disappeared.

Now at the cross roads, i undecisive as to whether i should go back to the dorm or finish up what i had began

"Don't move!" a deep baritone voice commanded
"and don't look back..." he added.
He was strangling my neck with a necklace. God, it hurts. Why did i respond to stimuli?
With my mind jammed up, i stepped on his feet with my four inch lace up boots. The necklace dropped and i made the run towards where i had came from.

Why was everyone trying to kill me?
Even Jihad.

Heart pounding, my panicked breath like thunder in my ears, thighs burning, lungs on fire, praying not to trip. Adrenaline almost bursting through my skin, eyes wide with fear, screams locked in my throat. He was coming. I could hear his heavy steps pounding the asphalt. His groans of infuriation. He was right behind me.
I feel his fingers snatching my long black hair, tangling and tugging. My head bobbed backwards.
The scream squeaks through my scorched throat. Snatching at the air, I begged it to help me keep my balance. I saw the stars watching from the heavens,it was too late. His face was now looming over mine. My body became numb-Blackout
