Lost In His Emerald (COMPLETE)

Chapter 4

✂

The rest of the week was unbearable, Tory's stares made me feel like I was living a nightmare. Tracy on the other hand was up in my case, still not convinced how i got a late enrollment into the school.

Whispers, which were barely whispers, could be heard everywhere I stepped. My style wasn't making the situation any better. Not a single breathing space. Everywhere was suffocating. I needed to gain back my sanity, the little i had left.

I had to stay strong nonetheless, like I had always been. This was the only way to get away from my haunting reality, my real life... I had to run away from it. Nobody would know me in here. Nobody would know the real me, the things I've done... My secrets.

I walked up the rooftop and shockingly found an empty room, just windows whose view made me want to pack up my stuff and live in it. The view was, enticingly beautiful.

I stepped in and shut the door, swirling around the distraction i had discovered. This is by far, my favorite place.

Taking off my hoodie, I put on the only music I had..my favorite instrumentals. I was in my tank top twirling and showcasing my prowess to a non-existent audience.

Or so I thought.

I instantly stopped as the hair behind my neck stood. Someone was watching me. I could feel it.
I looked around for any sign of a human being..

Nothing. .

I gently opened the door and searched... Nothing

My eyes widened my sensitive nose captured his scent. His perfume.

It's him.

He was watching .

The walk down the stairs was hectic, not because of the amount of energy it took..no, i could climb Mount Everest and not break a single sweat... But the problem was my mind. It wasn't at peace. How much had he seen.

How close was he..

I was so entangled in my own thoughts that I didn't even notice the person beside me. And my reflex was instant, I grabbed the person and pinned them against the wall-

"Oh, uhm, sorry... " I quickly let go once I realized who it was. I need to work on my reflexes or I'll end up blowing my own cover. And that wouldn't be good.

She fixed her glasses and smiled nervously, straightening the creases on her dress.."It's alright.. I uh.. My name's Tessa"

Girl, i know

"I'm Bella" I weirdly cleared my throat as we walked down the hallway.

"The new girl right? "

"Yup " I responded, popping the p.

"Well, sorry for scaring you like that" She stared at me from her wide glasses.

Trust me, that kind of action can't even scare a single hair out of me. I thought to myself.

"It's alright, that's just normal human reflex " Well i sure hope i didn't overdo it.

"You're pretty strong for a normal rich girl you know? " I froze. Did...did she notice something. No, it can't be.

"Wh..what? Why would you say that " Her statement had piqued my interest, and now i was insanely nervous. My stuttered speech wasn't making it any better.

"Listen, you don't have to worry... I won't tell anyone..I'm pretty strong too and nobody easily gets me off my feet like that "

I cocked a brow.

"Okay well, except for these rich heartless bastards.. I let them get away with everything they put me through " Tessa continued.

"Why " Suddenly curious, I asked.

"Because I'm here for the same reason as you"

My eyes widened at this confession, she's just playing mind games with me. It surely can't be.. "Wh..what? What reason is it exactly? "

"To run away from yourself "
