Death

chapter 3

"You look... different." I forced a smile to Julie.

"I know. Sara take me to the saloon last week."

"Oh.. so, she is your new girls buddy now?"

"It not like that, Jules. I know she is planning something. But, you know I think she is right about something. She think I am ignoring myself and somehow she is true. I decided to do this to me and I feel comfortable. I feel healthy and happy. Its that okay for you?"

"Autumn, calm down. I don't mad if you are really get along with them. I just want you to be extra careful. Okay. I love you and I don't want something bad happen to you again."

"I know. I will stop if thing going wrong. Just don't shut off your phone. Who knows, I might need your help."

"Of course. Remember to call me anytime you need me."

Julie pat on my hand and leave me at the locker room.

"Autumn!"

I turn my head. Sara and her girls gang approaching me with their boyfriends. I sighed.

"Okay, like I promised you, I want you to meet Marcos. Marcos, this is Autumn and Autumn, this is Marcos."

Marcos step forward and take my hand then kiss it. God! Thats not really necessary.

"Would you like to go to the prom with me, Autumn?" my jaw drop open. Did he just ask me? I glanced to Sara and she just nodded.

"Are you sure?" What a silly question. But I mean it. Well, I am not their favourite person before. There no way I will accept this situation juat line that, especially Sara. She is up for something and I decided to figure it out before the prom night. At least, I will save my life from die on humiliating.

"Of course, except you with someone else."
I swallow my fear. Maybe this is the only way to know out what is Sara's little secret.

"So, would you go out with me?" Hell. Now he is asking me to go out with him? I shake my head in no time.

"Its not included I believe. I am sorry, but I need to go."

"Wait, what make you so hurry?" Sara shouted.

"Work. See you later guys." I waved and walk as fast as I can, leaving those group behind without second glance.

I can feel my tears storming down on my cheeks. I betrayed my self. How can I forget and worse, how can I let Sara playing me around. Go to Hell!

I wiped my tears with my backhand. Luckily, my mascara is waterproof. Before I enter the corner towards the building to my workplace, I bumped into someone very hard until my front aching.

"Oh I am sorry. I am really sorry." I bow my head to avoiding the stranger but what happen next make me shivering to death.

"Hello Autumn Hope." what? I rose my head. My eyes jolted open when there is a man in black attire, tall, though shape and
wearing a hat, standing against me.

"You know my name?" His face giving no emotions but his eyes surprising me. They are golden for once and when he blink, it change its colour to dark brown. I gasped in shock.

"Okay. I am sorry because of the accident. Are you hurt? I can take you to the doctor."

"I come to see you." Again. I glanced to my surrounding. Is there a prank live show on tv? Because a stranger that I never met just call me by my full name and looking for me.

"Do I know you? Are you sure you are meeting the right person?" I starting to freaking scared. Wait a second. People who is wearing black attire is usually underground people.
