Can you keep a secret Chapter 13
“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,

Chapter 15Due to the stress I went through in school I couldn't think of anything other than my bed, my feets located the stairs and I climbed up to my room totally ignoring my dad who was resting on a sofa, he knows too much to even lay a complaint.Who would want someone to follow their shadow?Not my Dad, he had seen hell the day before and he wouldn't want to experience such again.I got to my room and fell on the bed, flashes of what happened in school coming into my head in round circles. 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 shouldn't have said that, how can I be great at this moment, after.."I'm the only one at home and

Wake up, open your eyes" Xavier kept calling Royce continuously with fear in his face."I can't believe you actually did this to your friend Clarissa" the slut who was with Xavier said with a sad tone more like a pretence as she approached the unconscious body of Royce."Clarissa, what did you do to him?" Xavier yelled with fury in his voice.God what have I gotten myself into? How do I explain this?

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

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.

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 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.

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.
