The Hunt For Sapphire {SAMPLE}

Haunted my Mr mysterious

I woke up late today, around 6:35 am I guess. The latest I have ever woken up, feeling so tired and totally drained in my mind and strength. I sighed angrily blowing out air from my mouth. I don't feel happy, in fact, my mood is worse than a horror movie! and me being a light head sleeper did not help my case.

"A giant kudos to that stupid stupid neighbor beside my house, thanks a lot I am going to be a living zombie for the rest of the day."

'Wait! I hope he can't hear me because he still creeps me out'

As my normal routine, when I wake in the morning, I can't go back to sleep even though I needed it, which is why I try to have the best of the best sleep at night and avoid spending time outside late at night. An additional reason will be my mom 'Rosalind' she made us move from Antarctica to this new cozy community with fewer houses and neighbors around for my comfort. Dad wasn't pleased at first but agreed in the end.

I could have easily ditched school today but my hands are tied after my near stunt on my first arrival. I went ahead as scheduled by carefully picking out the right outfit that won't draw unnecessary attention to me at my new school. I am not an attention seeker but I can be a disease in the spine sometimes.

My first-morning routine (the zombie routine) is brushing my teeth clean, can't start the day with an attack from my mouth, and kill innocent students. I might be a zombie today but my looks and hygiene are important to me. Then I took a super freezing shower, taking extra 30 minutes, just so I can wake up my sleepy senses. To round it up I wrapped my fluffy puppy in my pocket towel around my body and got out of the shower.

The room felt so chilly which is weird for the season. I walked into my closet to find a suitable comfy cloth to wear, I went for a white tank top, skinny jeans, and a big black hoodie so I can cover my face in case I looked terrible or I wanted to sleep in class. I didn't wear any makeup today and gave my hair some loosed waves, after I was done I put on my boot heels and stood up to check my outfit on my full-length mirror

I was surprised to discover I just spent only an hour dressing which was unusual for me. I went downstairs to have breakfast with mom. Dad is out on a business trip so for now it is just us.

"Good morning madre." I greeted in the new tongue I am choosing to adapt.

"Good morning Diana, your Spanish is weird, speak something you know, something more like you." She told me and I frowned lightly. I want to speak other languages that wasn't English and I prove to be terrible at it

"I know mom Rosa, it is why I am learning it. You know, one day I might be good at it." I spoke in a polite manner. I am not ready for a lecture in this zombie apocalypse I am facing.

"Good for you, did you sleep well?" She took her cup of hot steamy coffee from the small island twirling the contents inside.

I scoffed angrily, how do I explain to her what I felt like doing last night? No, don't! that would be a terrible idea, especially this time in the morning. "Yeah... Mom about this neighbor, do you have any idea why he moved into this neighborhood and that too in the middle of the night?" I asked as I was having the usual breakfast of scrambled eggs, bread and hot chocolate.

"Don't talk while eating, and to answer your question no, I have no idea why he moved in, after last night's incident no one saw him, he didn't talk to anyone. At least everyone knows it's a male or something, but no one has heard of him again." I was about to ask another question but mom gave me a stern look, I held my tongue and continued eating, after I was done I washed the dishes and head out for school.

The instant I left my house de juva filled my insides making me cautiously glance around before taking the right turn as it leads to my school, which also means I have to pass Mr mysterious house. As I passed the front I felt this strange chill that ran down my spine it felt like I was been watched. I try to shrug it off but I felt chilling eyes on me and a chill went down my spine, I took the courage to look at the house, there I saw the silhouette of a man standing by the window arms crossed, I didn't know the kind of light he used that made only his appearance look like a shadow but it was terrifying.

I quickly turned away and walked as fast as I could to the bus stop, I waited impatiently for the bus scared he would follow me and hurt me. After what seemed like forever the bus finally came and I went inside and sat at the back breathing out a sigh, during the ride I noticed a red-haired boy has been staring at me from the corner of my eye and I couldn't take the attention any longer so I faced him.

"What?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. He just blushed and looked away, 'what is the matter with him' I asked myself but ignored him throughout the ride.

The bus came to a halt in front of my school and I got out then made my way to my locker, a lot of students were in the hallway trying to get to their various classes and some naughty kids going elsewhere. On my way to class, I nearly bumped into someone while I was watching Katherine Jones and Lily Warlot quarrel about what? I have no idea.

"Sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." I apologized and tried moving around so I could get to my class, but this annoying person kept on blocking my way everywhere I step. Annoyed and frustrated I looked up to see who the twit was. Behold, in front of me, stood a gorgeous boy with messy jet black hair almost looking blue, his eyes were really green but sparkling in every direction and he is very tall almost like a giant. I don't know if it was because of my height or he is really, really tall looking about 6ft 7 or higher. It made me feel intimidated by my little height just reaching almost his chest level. I have to tilt my head backward in other to look him in the eyes.

He had a very disturbing smile across his lips creeping the heck out of me. Though he was cute and has amazing height I love I can't be comfortable with that smile... EVER!

"Hey what's up, going somewhere?" He asked smirking down at me. Didn't he hear me when I apologized and tried moving away? I hope he is not trying to pick on me like every student has been trying to. I thought, people tried bullying me because of my size and I am usually quiet, on my own but this big bully must have something down wrong inside his brain to be looking my way.

"Yes." I said irritated already " I need to get to class and I am sorry I hit you. can you please move to the side?" I requested and he steps aside. I took only a step and he was back blocking my exit. "WHAT? " I roared.

"Come on don't be so sour. You didn't hit me and if you did I wouldn't even feel it, you got to admit, this is fun." He says cockily.

"What is fun?" I ask.

He was about saying something when someone called him. The moment he turns back I wasted no time and sprint off before he got the chance to stop me.
