Can you keep a secret Chapter 12
I got home feeling all drained from the stroll. I had thought walking home from school would ease the stress and heavy guilt in my chest but guess nothing happened. I never took a step without thinking of what to do next. Hell, the thing is draining me out and I feel like I could break any minute from now. I can't talk about my situation with anybody because of the precautions. Damn the rules! What more do they want from me huh? Haven't they taken enough! Would they want me to be alone before they call it quit? Clarissa! Why did you ever have to join this game, what are you so inquisitive about? I hope you're satisfied now? You should be! You're horrible! You're so wicked and you're supposed to die, just leave the fucking world already! Arghhhh!!! My feets wavered, my waist twisted to the side and I hitted my head on the stair handrail. Suddenly realizing myself, I gained momentum and clung to the handrail for support so I wouldn't fall off.

“I know you love movies!!” Nathan’s voice booms with bliss as we were standing before the gigantic building of “ROCK CINEMA”which was written in bold golden red prints. People was buzzing around the premises, couples holding hands, teenagers in pairs or groups, families and friends. Everyone on smiling faces, gisting and giggling. Rock CINEMA is a very busy centre and the most fun place to be. “So I brought us here,” I and Nathan both turned in sync to meet each other’s gaze. Time seemed to slow down as I found myself sinking deep into his forest green eyes, his eyes sparkling like emeralds. The smile on his face was like a beam of sunlight illuminating the darkest corners of my soul. He suddenly looks so beautiful than ever before and that brought tears to my eyes, once again my fear crawled over my body, prickling my skin. Fear for the realization that I love this guy so much, so much that the love is gonna make him a victim of that deadly game. Fear that the person I claim to love

Tsk.. why is everyone not coming to school. The class room looks scanty. I brush my hair backward with my fingers as I walk through the hallway to the science lab if I will find any of my friends there. To my disappointment no one is actually there. I went back to class as the cool morning breeze blew on my face, making me flicker my lashes simultaneously.The breeze started blowing again and this time around carrying dust in the air. I hit my head on the wall when the dust entered my eye, making me curse silently."Argh!!!" I screamed and all the students around stared at me with disgust. "Cowards" I cursed silently rubbing the area with my palms as I walked back to my class room ignoring their stares.I got into the class, took a seat by the window and dropped my bag in the locker.I was about to bring out my phone when the chemistry teacher came into the classroom. A thin fair woman in her late forties with blonde hair and greenish big eyeballs. With the silhouette she's wearing,

Thoughts clouded my mind and I needed a breathing space, my eyes fell on my phone and I knew just who to call.The cell ring for a minute and it went off, I redialed it again and she finally picked it up. "How are you, Bethel?" I asked immediately, changing my sleeping position as I lay on my side."Just here, how are you?" Her voice was faint, I doubt she's ever stopped crying."Great!" Pftt!

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.
