Tied together with a red rope.

Chapter 2

It was yet another boring day of school, I sighed as I slowly got up from my bed this time without Alya barging into my room which was somewhat surprising as she pretty much was waking me up everyday but I shook it off that it wasn't anything suspicious.
I yawned and stretched out my arms above my head as I stared into the mirror that hung loosely on the wall of my room before looking up on the clock that was just right next to the said before mirror.
- .. huh? it's 3 am? .. that's weird.. why am I awake at this hour, and second of all, why is it so light outside?! - I asked myself as I stared out of the window on the other side of my room with my eyes open wide, though I was not expecting any kind of answer as there wasn't anyone inside the room not counting me of course... at least I thought I was alone that is.

I felt a pair of familiarly cold hands softly lift up my head by my jawline , their thumbs behind my ears.
- hello there, my dear~ I've been missing you a lot already! have you missed me? - 
I heard a gentle voice whisper into my ear which sent chills down my spine. I couldn't get myself to turn around nor reply to the question I had just been asked. I could feel them move their fingers further on my jawline,
- why aren't you saying anything, sweetheart? are you afraid of me? - the person spoke again since they noticed I wasn't going to answer them any time soon. - why are you scared of me? I hadn't done anything to you ! - the gentle voice soon turned into an angered tone as their soft grip became a more strong one. I noticed I was starting to feel a stinging pain in my jaw and finally moved; I lifted my arms up and onto the cold hands as I tried to take them off of me.

- what are you doing, dear? why are you trying to push me away from you? -
I felt the other's breath hit my ear again, sending another wave of chills down my spine, even though their grip was starting to get more painful and violent as I wasn't replying to any of the questions I've been asked which made me blench a bit in pain, finally showing some kind of emotion.  Then I felt as if I was being pulled back a bit, arms wrapping around my stomach in a somewhat protective, yet aggressive manner. Then words once again;
- I'm going to make you mine, just you wait [name], just wait..~! -
they laughed after speaking, I felt myself starting to sweat from fear, my eyes widening even more than they widened before.
- .. w-why are you.. who are .. - 
before I could finish I could feel a forceful hit into my chest, which made me open my eyes instantly and gasp loudly out of surprise, then cough afterwards.

- finally, you woke up! I swear I've been trying to wake you up for half an hour already! - I felt Alya yell into my face as she got off of me, helping me out of the bed as she laughed, most likely at me.
- you were moving so much, yet you weren't waking up at all! what were you even dreaming about, hm? -
- why do you want to know, dumbass .. anyhow, what time is it ? - I asked Alya while i started getting dressed, I didn't really care she could watch me now, I was waiting for a reply meanwhile I put on clean clothes, which were [chosen clothes].
- alright uhm... it's.. 7:54 - Alya replied and I froze in the spot, before slowly looking over in her direction.
- what? why are you staring at me that way, idiot? - she raised an eyebrow in confusion before I spoke;
- we're going to be late you complete buffoon! - I raised my voice a little before grasping my friend's hand and starting to run towards the school we went to after grabbing both of our bags.

I sighed as class ended, I went back in memory to the morning as me and Alya were running to get to school before it was too late.. we didn't manage to , and were late by around 7 minutes, though surprisingly the teacher was in a really good mood today so she let it slide, and I'm very thankful for that. As I was remembering what was happening , I felt a faint faint in my forehead as I was flicked,
- hey loser! I saw you just zoning out and remembered you're the new club member! are you coming or not? -
- .. huh..? wh- oh yeah, the Sport's club. I'm coming, I'm coming don't worry.. do you want to go there together? - I asked the female which was in the otherwise empty classroom with me. - Michelle, was it? -
- I'm surprised you managed to remember my name , and I'm only gonna walk with you just because we go to the same club , so don't think of anything, I don't like you at all. - she scoffed as she turned away, waiting at the door-frame as she watched me pack my things into my [color/s] backpack.
