The Perfect Girlfriend(short story)

The perfect Girlfriend

I couldn't even see what's in front of me, it was pitch black nothing was seen. I didn't know why but I was running, so fast - I felt sweat, heavily dripping but I was not even close to being tired.

Atmosphere felt warm, the sunray stroke through my translucent window straight into my face. Forgot to let my silky red curtain covering my stainless steel grilled windows. "Aahhh, it was just a dream", I sighed realizing I'd been getting another episode of my repeating horror dreams. Since this was banal for me, I just rushed myself into the shower and helped myself ready for school. I was pretty excited for school today because this was my first day dating the girl I'd been crushing on since 6th grade. This was like a dream came true. Long story shot, I was in the middle of challenge made by my peers to propose her and she went with it, we made a couple. So simple, no whats or why's.

The girl's name was Alya. A girl with dead dark pair of eyes, round flawless face and modest to complete her perfect attitude. It was safe to say Alya was a perfect girl, an ideal girlfriend. Despite being nice and all, she had a reputation, there were always bad rumour and scandals speculating around her. I never trust those rumour because I thought I knew Alya well. She was never the kind of girl in every rumour spreading around. All those rumour and scandals must have been made just to bring her down by some hateful girls and supported by Alya's ex-boyfriends who had their so-called relationship broken.

I saw a person, holding a creepy stick, smiling and giggling in a way I had never seen before. It's creepy and evil.

I woke up to the sound of my buzzing alarm, interrupting the harmonic atmosphere I had in room. My bed was drained with sweat. Another episode of horror dream came visiting me last night, but this one was a little different. It's like this time it's the sequel of the repeating dream I used to have before. It felt weird and real at the same time. My head was full with questions of whats and whys.

"Who's that person in my dream?" I thought.

The sun was ill today, sky looked gloomy and gray. It's not even monsoon season but it felt cold, the wind was blowing hard letting trees and grass to dance non-stop. I approached Alya with the intention to voice out my strange dream at her but I lost my objective the moment she appeared. "The dreams were silly" I thought. Alya shone way so pretty with her dead dark eyes which always had me stunned. "Zaki, would you want to meet up tonight at school? Only you and me?" Alya whispered. This really got me like a dog with two tails. Despite being tied in a lovey dovey relationship, we had never do things that couples usually did like holding hands and hugging. I guessed tonight must be the start of a more intimate relationship. I agreed to her and she mentioned about meeting at 11 pm. "11 pm alone? It's gonna be wild" I responded. She smiled and blushed. Cute.

The moon tonight was blood red. It shone but never enough to fade away the dark night. Stars were also not visible tonight. "This couldn't be more romantic!". It's 10:30 pm. I was early than the scheduled time since my brain went a little wild and I got excited about "the things" we're gonna do later. I giggled thinking about Alya. There's another 30 minutes so I decided to walk around the school. When I reached BLOCK C building, I heard people talking, more like whispering. I peeked at one of the classroom to find out there were about dozen people in black robe whispering things with each other. They were whispering in a language that I couldn't figure out or maybe they were murmuring spells, I couldn't decide which. I noticed something that one of them was holding a creepy stick more like a staff which was the same as the one I had seen in one of my episodes of dreams. The atmosphere sent chill down my spine, I decided to look for Alya or she's gonna end up meeting those freaky cult.

As I went down to the school hallway with hope Alya to find, the one with the creepy staff noticed me. My adrenaline spiked, I need to run before the other members of the cult noticed but I was too late. They were chasing after me.

I couldn't even see what's in front of me, it was pitch black nothing was seen. I just had to run, so fast - I felt sweat, heavily dripping but I was not even close to being tired. I guess not being tired wasn't a promise to be a great runner. I collapsed to the ground as I reached my limit. I could hear footsteps, marching towards me. I smelt blood. My blood were flooding as they stroke knife into my abdomen. It was cold and hurt.

A glimpse of red ray of the blood moon lighten up the room enough for me to see the face of that cult member who was holding the creepy staff. It wasn't a he but a she. She was smiling and laughing in a creepy way. She looked familiar, she was my girlfriend, Alya. "We got him, let's offer him to our satan lord!" Alya lead. I guessed all the rumour about her were true and my episode of dreams were a warning. Alya glanced at me, smiling. As my consciousness slowly creeping away, I looked right into her dead dark eyes and lost in them. Evil, yet stunningly beautiful. Soon, everything went completely dark as her dead eyes. Goodbye.

Sky was sad and gloomy again today. Alya was with another guy, asking him to meet up at 11pm in the school hallway. As soon as the guy said yes, Alya smirked creepily.
