"She quickly explained that you were not in the changing room, and I instantly felt dread when I heard that. Immediately, I called for Shawn, and we searched in the direction of the changing room because I knew I saw you heading there."

"As we approached the second room, we heard a small scuffle. It was faint, and Shawn kicked the door down, and to my horror, I saw you... looking like you were dead on the floor and this maniac over you,"....Jada paused, inhaling shakily, needing a moment before she continued.

If anything, the fluffy white clouds add to the sky's majestic glow.The wind blew, lifting dry leaves subtly off the floor bed and discarded wrappers, and the campus gardener was running-- armed with his garden rake, trying to keep up with the wind and his targets.Students huddle about in their little clicks, on the lawn, on benches, in the hallw

When looking at me, he smirked and said, "by the way, you know you are not so bad yourself. I must say you are stunningly beautiful."I laughed lightly, "stunningly beautiful, huh? Is that right?" I was happy he understood and moved on from the topic."Yes indeed, anyone in their right mind would agree with me without question," he said, so self-confident as if what he said was final.Shaking my head at his expression, I responded, "Well, it's all my mama.. that's for sure.""Oh really? Only mama, huh? So what about your dad? Anything from him?" He asks, now leaning back on the couch, a hand resting on the arm casually and a friendly smile.I sigh and shift slightly, feeling slightly thrown off by the question.

The beautiful green with brown highlights, forested area, and a mini park is at the very end.This street has houses on both sides, but they are spaced out, with plenty of yard space at the front and sides, maybe the back too.He pulled up in front of a house on the right. High white walls and little decorative concrete blocks in intricate patterns are placed in the middle, strategically spaced along the entire wall, and painted black.I saw that it had a glossy finish, and a large black gate was also painted in the same black glossy, shiny color."We're here," Daniel declared, pressing a button from a key chain, and the gate sprung to life, extending from t

Taking in a deep breath, I let it out, sighing heavily.Wow, this is too much! I haven't earned this yet, I don't deserve it, and this is strange. "Please, I can't accept this," I, out of nowhere, murmured almost to myself, feeling a bit undeserving of all this.Daniel came sauntering towards me, telling me yet again his favorite line, "strict orders were given, this," gesturing with his hands as he stretched them out with flare, "is no mistake, I assure you."That didn't make me feel any better.

Daniela finally asked. "Yes, I am," Daniel answered, not missing a beat almost before she finished her question."My plan is simple, sis; I would not get myself entangled in anything with anyone and simply wait." Daniela stared at her brother as if he had grown two horns. She could not help it. She snapped, "Who are you, and what did you do to my brother? Because this is not my brother I am talking to." She did not want to start calling him names, especially the fact that she thought he was a psycho.Daniel smiled almost eerily at Daniela and said, "It's me, sis."
