Can you keep a secret Chapter 26
...As I and Nathan made our way towards the outskirts of the club where Bethel was fixing Mark up, there’s only one thing in my mind. My boyfriend is an underground street fighter. I’m dating a street fighter!!!I mean after beating those three hefty guys, he only had a few bruises. I know they were drunk but damn, three?Now I really should get to know my boyfriend.“And what the hell do you think you are doing here?” I was so overwhelmed that I didn’t know how we walked up to Mark. Mark was sitting on the floor while Bethel knelt beside him. He was looking a bit better than how he was earlier only that he was casting Nathan a death glare“Mark,” I sniffled as I rushed towards him squatting before me “what the hell are you doing in this bar? Did you get drunk? How did you get into a fight? Mark are you alright?” I bombarded him with questions while checking him out but then Mark did the one thing that hurt me to tBone... he yanked my hands off him.“What does it look like to you hu

Chapter 25As I took harsh gulps from the bottle of water, Bethel was staring at me all these while like a detective ready to torture a criminal with those dumb and heart wretching interrogation. In Fact the looks Bethel was giving me is capable of murdering someone, I wonder why I haven’t died yet. Well who knows maybe I’ve got nine lives, I mean with all these torment and torture this stupid game had bestowed on me, I should be rotting six feets under. “Now tell me Clarissa what the hell were you thinking?” Bethel fired at me the moment I dropped the water from my mouth. I’ve quite expected that. From the moment Nathan told Bethel about my attempt against my will, she has on this look that vouchsafe a lot of things. Her face was blanketed with rage but deep in eyes glistened so much hurt, the same look that was in Nathan’s face and honestly I didn’t like it. I know Bethel had a lot to say but firstly she and Nathan served as a cover for me as they led me to the restroom where I had

Chapter 24If I say the latest happenings weren't drifting life out of me I would be a terrible liar, I am bent under my reading table crying my eyes out.I miss him, I miss him so much that I can't find any sleep. At some point Xavier was there for me, he was the only one by my side. He walked dude by side with me when Royce died, from the police station to the court.Was it love, comfort, belonging? He was more than that to me and I feel so horrible he had to die in my hands. Why him? I thought the game kills people that I love, or is it because of the soft spot I was garnering for him that he died next.Fuck! What am I saying? I can't deny the fact that I like Xavier but it's just that out of all my friends he's the one I like less. I snuggle my pillow to my chest and take a deep sigh, hugging my knees.I remained in that position that I didn't know when I slept off.*"Clary food is ready!" I heard Dad's voice from the bathroom. Last night I slept in a very uncomfortable position

Chapter 23My feets suddenly couldn't hold my weight anymore, my legs where quivering and staring at the angry students behind me made me slumped.My ears were blaring fire, I couldn't say a word. My lips where wobbling trying to mutter words that never came out, tears blinded my vision and I wish I could just die.Shouts and screams rented my ears, the air was already corrupt and some angry students where busy laying curses on me, whilst others where accusing me of murder.Well, if it's not murder then it's what?"It was an ancident." My hoarse voice replied. The principal smashed his fist on the table, shooting balls my way.Nathan, Bethel, Mark and I were defending ourselves in the principal's office. Earlier on while I was wishing death to happen to me the head teacher grabbed me and told the others to follow suit and now we are facing a cruel interrogation."The last time I called you guys here was when Annabel died and now not only two of you are missing, three are dead. Now how

Chapter 22Seconds, minutes or hours passed, I don’t really know but it just felt like I had been paralyzed by a strong force holding me rigid for eternity. My head tightened in vice-like grip, the only thing moving were my fingers against my phone. It was trembling beyond control. Tossing my phone across my room which luckily landed on my table rug, I collapsed on the bed. Different thoughts, all the fears and anxiety were niggling at me but I fought to push them away. I smuggled and curled up on the bed, my fingers shoved into my hair, I kept whispering to myself “No! No! No! No!” I don’t want to think about who’ll die next. Right now I want a genie to appear here and grant me just one wish. “I wish everything, all these is just a horrible dream and when I wake up everything will be over. No one ever died But where’s Genie when you need him? The more I think about it the more reality is catching up with me, and there’s this thing in my gut, this deep seated feeling that keeps

Chapter 21I was sitting on the stairs that lead to Xavier's house. I could have ran further, maybe ran home but my tears were so heavy and uncontrollable, I didn't want anything bad to happen again so I just sat down there reminiscing on my life.I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned swiftly to know who it was, "Bethel." I crooked, she gave me a pale look and sat next to me.I turned my face away and gaze at the setting sun, for the first time I felt relaxed. I should give my body some peace too, right? The cool evening breeze swept my hair backwards, making strands fall into my mouth."The evening is so cool." Bethel cooed and I stared at nothingness."Yeah. And so beautiful." I muttered slowly. She put her hand around my shoulders, turning my head to look at her in the process."You're beautiful.." she whispered and I just looked at her, "you're the strongest girl I've ever known, you're courageous and vibrant-" I didn't know when a tear slipped down my eye. She cleaned it with

Bethel and I were chatting on the balcony when I lost interest, my mind wandered far into nothingness and I didn't even realize Bethel was still talking. She was reading a book and would stop to explain something to me at intervals, didn't she get it, I am not even listening to her she should just stop. I was more bothered about what Nathan told me than her bickering, don't get me wrong, normally I enjoy her chats and bickerings so much but I don't just feel any need to open my mouth to talk."Are you listening?" She asked, turning me over so I could face her. I wriggled my face into a dull one and raised my brows like that of a kitten."Jericho left earth and went back to his planet and.. what's her name?" I tipped my tongue, looking at her for help. She watch me struggle with myself then give up, "I wasn't listening." I said with a deep breath.A frown formed on her face as she gave me a look of concern, "of-course you weren't listening that wasn't where I stopped, what is wrong C

Chapter 1Sitting at my study desk, my hand moved rhythmically with the dancing pen on my notebook scrambling numbers against numbers. Calculus can be a very interesting topic but it gets tiring to some extent especially when it’s been given to you as an assignment. I’ve been on this assignment for close to 2 hours now which has caused the muscles in my forearms to spasm. With my eyes heavy, I decided to take a break. I left the books opened on the desk as I went to grasp my phone from the dresser. I laid down on my bed with my back leaning my head against the pillow then I turned on my connection as I came online. I shuffled through Facebook viewing posts and comments. None of my friends are online so what do you expect me to do? I was now engrossed in my phone until a text popped into my phone. It was from some random user who of course I don’t. Curious to see what he or she sent? I clicked on the message. ‘Hi’ came the brief greeting. I’m not the type who usually talks wi...
