His Ghost (Ghost Series Part 1)

Chapter 33

Blake

Monday couldn't possibly come faster. Lia and I woke up earlier than yesterday, since we have to go to school today. Mom said I'm good to go, but if I start feeling lightheaded or get a headache, I'm supposed to tell Lia. I almost laughed at that, since my mom basically appointed her my personal nurse. I'm not complaining though, it's kinda hot to have my girlfriend at my every beck and call.

"Wear my shirt." I take Lia's shirt from her hand, exchanging it with mine. I can barely stop myself from staring at her chest, as she unceremoniously stands in my room in just her bra and jeans.

"I'll look ridiculous! It's too big for me." She whines cutely, trying to take her shirt back. I'm so glad my girl is smart enough to pack enough clothes for the weekend so she doesn't have to go to her house to get ready for school.

"No, you'll look hot in it. I'll also give you my jacket, it's quite cold today." I go to my closet, ignoring Lia's protests.

"Blaaaaake. Give me my shirt back!" She comes to me, still in her bra. This woman is testing my patience! I'm only human; if she continues to parade around my room half-naked, we won't make it to school, I'll lock her in my room for the whole day!!!

"Nope, nuh-uh. You're wearing mine and that's final." I sternly tell her, handing her my leather jacket. She groans in annoyance, muttering something I don't catch, but still does as I ask. I grin cheekily when she puts on my shirt before pulling her close to me and giving her a deep kiss.

"You look great. Now let's get some breakfast." I peck her angry pout one more time then take her to the kitchen. Lia makes us pancakes with fruits and lemonade. It's a good thing she made me wake up early, so we don't have to hurry.

I drive Lia to school in my car, even though she insisted on driving herself. I keep her hand in mine the whole way, running circles on the back of it with my thumb. When we reach the school, we're greeted by the sight of my friends from the football team waiting for us in the parking lot.

"Wait here." I tell Lia, kissing her knuckles. I get out of the car before rounding it and opening the door for her. With her hand in mine, I take our backpacks from the backseat then we approach the guys, who still patiently wait for us.

"Hey guys, what's up?" I ask once we're close enough.

"Morning." Lia greets them with a small wave.

"I think it's better to show you. But Lia should probably stay here." Damien is the first to talk. He sounds pissed and worried at the same time.

Lia tugs on my hand, pulling me inside with her. I catch guys' worried looks as we come in.

I feel my eyes widen and blood boil at the sight in front of me.

Lia's locker is covered in thick red liquid, which pools on the floor in front of it. Lia's hand tenses in mine, almost cutting off my blood circulation.

"Is that blood?" I ask shocked, turning to the guys. They cringe at the angry look on Lia's face as she glares at the locker.

"We didn't check, but it could be. It was already like this when we came." Nathan glances at Lia before turning to me.

My angry girl takes her hand from mine, going to her locker. She swipes one finger through the thick liquid then smells it.

"Blood." She confirms our theory. "But that's not all. There's something inside." She leans forward, listening to any sounds from the inside.

"Sweetheart? What is it?" I ask, noticing the worried frown on her face.

"A snake. And it's fucking alive." She answers with pure fury etched on her face. "It's a goddamn rattlesnake! I will kill that fucking bitch!!!" She yells out, punching her locker door, leaving a dent in it.
