Curse // H.S {Editing}

Chapter 44

I trace my hand over the envelope. I don't want to open this. I don't know what's gonna be inside.

"That's...creepy." Leanette says as she turns her attention to her computer screen.

I know! I know!

Gathering my thoughts, I open the envelope. Oh no!

"When you kiss him, someone gets HURT. That's a promise I'll keep... "

Oh shit! He was there! He was there! Yesterday and today in the class!

"What does it say?" Leanette asks

"Err...nothing. Just some gift from a friend. She leaving me clues for something. It's like a treasure hunt." I force a smile.

Nice one. Now he is your friend! Friend that wants to hurt you?!

"Errr... Would you mind if I skip today?" I just wanna run home into my mothers arms and cry, cry out loud.

Curse that scoundrel for messing up my life. I just want my mum right now,that's it.

"Yeah. Is everything alright?"

"Err.." No! Nothing is Alright. nothing is alright in my life! " yeah. I just gotta get home."

"Okay. See ya tomorrow then?"

"Yeah. See ya." I bolt out of there. Tears prickle in my eyes. Doesn't matter how strong I want to become I can't. I am always going to stay that fragile, 13 year old Aviana who is always going to struggle in her life. There is always going to be a villain in my Life. In this case I don't even know who he is? What does he want from me? What did I ever do to him?

I walk as fast as I can. I slip my hand inside my coats pocket and take out that piece of paper. I gaze at it. My blood is boiling with agony. Why?! Why is this happening to me?

I curl is between my fingers and through on the sidewalk and run. I just wanna get home.

"Hey! Aviana!" Somebody calls from behind. I turn around. It's Ricky. Oh no! Not now.

"Hi!" I wipe my eyes.

"Running again from dogs?" His accent is too rough to be British. I can pick up a little American accent. Maybe he is an American and just lives here.

"Haha no. I just have to get home."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"I think you should be careful."

Careful?

"Careful? What are you talking about?"

"I think you should go home. It's not safe around here." He starts to walk away.

Not safe around here? What is he taking about? I should be careful?

"But!" I want to ask him but he has already gone.

As I'm Thinking about what Ricky was saying I reach home.

I open the door.

"Mom?"

I can hear laughs and giggles.

I peek into the kitchen. I see a tall mans back facing me and my moms face red from laughing.

"Mom?"

"Oh honey! You're home!" She walks to me. She is dressed up and she looks hot! I haven't seen her dress like this in ages! The man turns around to see me. He is tall and white. He has got a nice hair cut. Oh I remember! Barbie doll handsome?! This must be him, the guy my mum likes.
