Passion and death

Chapter 9: Isabelle

Mia opened her eyes and looked at Justin who is sitting next to her, it’s already seven o’clock and Mia has thirty minutes to prepare.

“Good morning gorgeous.” He said and kissed her in the cheeks.

 “Good morning handsome.” Mia said and smiled at him before leaving her bed.

“I will wait for you in school.” Justin said before going out of the window.

 Mia opened the shower and she saw that it’s blood.

She put the shower off and started hyperventilating. “Justin!” she screamed weakly. Justin heard her and went back to her room.

Mia wrapped her towel around her and left the shower room.

 Justin hugged her and stroked her hair, “Why is this happening to me?” she said innocently and looked in his eyes.

“You’re fine, maybe someone was just playing a prank on you. Do you want me to stay?” he said as he cups her face.

Her straight blonde hair is smeared with blood and so is some parts of her body.

 She took a deep breath and opened the shower once more before entering.

Everything seems normal already, she looked at Justin.

 “I promise that I will be brave for you.” She said and smiled at him before closing the door.

Justin believes in her, he immediately left while Mia is having her bath. Mia closed her eyes and enjoyed the relaxing hot water.

After a couple of minutes, Mia arrived in their school and saw Justin standing next to his car.

 She run to him and hugged him tightly like she never hugged him.

“Are you alright Mia, did something happened?” Justin asked her. Mia shook her head and cracked a smile, “Don’t you want me to hug you?” she asked him.

“It’s not that, you never hugged me so tightly before.” Justin said before Mia entwined their arms together.

 They look like they’re just friends.

Mia went to her locker to get her Chemistry and Algebra book.

 “Where’s your Geometry?” Justin asked her as he looks inside her locker and noticed that all of her books are in there except Geometry.

“It’s already in my bag, don’t worry.” Mia said and smiled at her. They both sit down and she asked him a question.

“Who’s Isabelle, I mean why do I look exactly like her?”

“Is she my twin, am I adopted?” Mia gasped for air and gazed at Justin just like they’re playing a role play.

Justin started to laugh, his smile faded away as he focuses his eyes on her. “She’s the duple ganger of your ancestor.”

Mia looked around and saw that most of them are doing their homework, some are moving from one place to another to ask for help while some are comparing their answers.

“It’s too vague, even me and my brother can’t really understand your whole existence but what is clear to me is that you are not a mistake.”

Their teacher already arrived and they all stand up to greet their teacher. “Okay class, exchange papers.” Their teacher said.

Mia and Justin both shared a look before they exchanged their home works.

 As usual, Mia listened attentively to the teacher and to the way on how the right answers arrived.
