Killing booth Chapter 9: THE GAMBLE
NICK'S POV"Nick get up, you would be late for school" my nanny woke me up. Being the best basketballer was not an easy feat but it has helped me with being popular and loved by most girls. I had this weird dream about a girl who told me her name was Pearl. It was a bit disturbing but I could not let go of the connection I felt towards her in the dream. "Well, it's a dream," I said to myself. In case you do not know me I am Nicholas Santos, you can call me Nick, the guy of every girl's dream.Mondays were not as exciting as every other day, I could say the best time of the week is always Saturdays and I'm sure you can relate. I am the only child of the business moguls Sandra and Nicholas Snr. Yes, that's right I was named after my father. My parents were out of the country on a business trip, and for months now I haven't seen them. It was always one business trip or the other and they never found the time to be there physically for me. Well, I've grown accustomed to this but it doesn'
Killing booth Chapter 10: THE ENCOUNTER
The first day of being in a new school sucks. Oh! where did we stop? That's right, my Dad had to change my school because of his political ambitions. Dad is running for Senator and that means he could not afford to let his only child taint the good image and his career. I do not want to get any ideas of how awful this new school might be, let me be optimistic that it would turn out fine. "Get up Nick!, we should not be doing this every time you need to be at school'" Linda called. Covering my ears, I screamed, " Can I just drop out of school, it wouldn't be a bad idea, Dad has the money and everything I need to rely on". "You know what I always say, doing what is right shouldn't feel like a punishment". Without a doubt, Linda has always been a source of encouragement for me but right now all I need is to stay out of school. Not to forget, last night was a blast, I had a party with Gil and some of the guys at school where we danced and drank and you could guess Mae was there as well.
Killing booth Chapter 11: OLD FLAMES
Yes, we shared a kiss, Jane and I slept overnight at the biology lab. The next morning when the janitor opened the door, I left to get some kit for Jane to freshen up for the day, thereafter, I left for home. I had mixed feelings today about what Jane and I shared. I had to be sure if it was really what I wanted after all I'm still a teenager and I'd got my life ahead of me. I stayed at home playing video games meanwhile I had tests in school today which I have decided to skip. "Ms. Mae is here to see you" Linda informed me of Mae's arrival. I suddenly got a text from Mae informing me of her brother's demise and that she needed someone to talk to me. "Ok, I'll be with her in a minute" I responded. Mae looked so drained and I couldn't help but empathize with her. "Should I get you something to drink or eat?" I asked as she shook her head responding that she was not okay to eat anything else. I sat next to her because she had suddenly broken down in tears, I held her close as she sobbe
Killing booth Chapter 12: SECRETS
The last week has been crazy, from getting to know Jane had some visions of people dying to her step Mum dying and her reconciling with her birth Mum. I had to show Jane how much I truly loved her by supporting her all along. Although it's been exhausting I couldn't have it any other way. Mum and Dad were gonna be in a home in a fearsome and I was excited to have them around. D-day came and we had dinner, during dinner, my parents apologized for their absence in my life. It was an emotional night for me as I truly felt loved after this moment.Remember the meanies invited Jane to a party? Yes, I was also invited. I checked my phone as I got a notification from Jane, she has sent me some pictures of the outfit she wanted to wear to the party. She wanted me to choose for her. Jane: Which do you think would look better on me? This silk dress or a jumper?Nick: Anything would look good on you babe but if you want me to choose, I'll go with the silk dress. The color of the dress which is
Killing booth Chapter 1: BRUISED
JANE'S POV."Again!" I shrieked. It's always the last day of each month, It's been almost a year since this has been occurring, and I found myself here again. It was a dark room with a fireplace serving as the only source of light. Silence filled the room, she would be here soon I thought.Thinking out loud, I said let's get over this scene as it has happened too many times. Before I could think further, she came in wearing a little grin and calling my name. I whimpered and shivered but could not utter a sentence, this lady has been my worst nightmare, showing me a glimpse of the future every last day of each month.Without uttering a word, she moved closer, I could see her but it was blurry, she whispered "Let it burn" into my ears, I felt cold and wondered who the next victim was gonna be. Dave died the previous day from an asthma attack which everyone thought but I knew it wasn't. How could I tell anyone that I could see their deaths without sounding delusional?"I'm crazy, this i
Killing booth Chapter 2: WAVES
Walking down the streets, I could remember the ordeal that took place today. The Principal reassured us that Mr. Beck was gonna be fine without doubt as he was receiving treatment for the hay fever he was diagnosed with. I knew it wasn't true but who would I have told? Besides, there was nothing I could do. I skipped the rest of my classes just so I wouldn't be reminded of the guilt I'd been feeling."Janie" I heard. It was Mike the homeless man. "Oh!, Mike" I smiled, I gave him the pancakes. "Thanks, Janie" he responded. "Could I sit next to you, I asked"?. Mike had been homeless for almost a decade, I remembered moving into the neighborhood with my Dad when I was six. Rumour had it that Mike murdered his family by setting their house ablaze but there was no evidence to prove he was the instigator. He did survive the fire and was unscathed but no one associated with him.I sat next to him as I bowed my head, sniffing. " A penny for your thought," he said as he offered me some of the
Killing booth Chapter 3: SWEET CHAOS
It's been a month and a couple of days since the nightmares seized, I was glad but frightened at the same time. No one I knew died since Mr. Beck recovered last month. "Could the old hag have repented or she suddenly hates feasting on poor humans souls?" I couldn't help but wonder. Well, I needed a rest from the nightmares, I could remember a total of 10 people losing their lives as a result of the usual ritual done by the old hag monthly.Monday was, here again, surprisingly I had a good feeling about today. Kate and I bonded after Mr. Beck's incident. We had a sleepover at her place and it was a fun time. Our friendship was blooming, I never mentioned the nightmare to her because I didn't want her to be scared. On the brighter side, life seems better for now."Hi Lizzy," I said excitedly as I rushed down the stairs, she looked at me with a smirk probably wondering why I was elated. I took a glance at myself in the mirror in the hallway. I'm average height, with greenish eyes, slim
Killing booth Chapter 4: LOVE OR INFATUATION?
We were back in class as Kate was feeling better after seeing her menstrual cycle at school. I considered Kate to be a beautiful lady, she's tall and fairly built and a cheerleader at school. I hadn't told her about my encounter with Nick Wow, now I say his name as Nick in my mind, not Nicholas. I turned to look at Kate munching some chocolate cookies. "That's gonna be too sweet for you," I said. She didn't say a word, this was the time to tell her about Nick or Nicholas. I met a boy today, he was....... "Hey beautiful", someone said from behind. Who could that be, I never talk to anyone in this class aside from Kate. Wait, I recognized that voice. " Hi Pearl, remember me?" "Oh yes how couldn't I, it's Nicholas," I thought. "Is this the boy you like?" Kate asked. "I didn't say I like him" I argued. "You ladies were discussing me that must be good," he said laughing. For the rest of the day, I could hardly concentrate in class. It turned out Nicholas was a transfer student and on the

Killing booth Chapter 8: CLOSURE
It was a new day, Lilian didn't explain what transpired between my Dad and her. She promised to let me know when the time was right. Those words sounded like she wasn't going to let me in on anything but I knew I would find out whatever they were hiding."Jane, I made you breakfast" I could hear Lilian calling from the kitchen. "Thanks for the meal," I said as I hurriedly grabbed them from her. "Have a nice day" I could hear saying as I rushed out to get into the bus. I felt happy having her around it wasn't a bad thing. I took the bus this morning and it felt refreshing, I could swear that this feeling of happiness I was having was going to be permanent. I hummed to the lyrics of Ella Kess's Joyous song, I felt elated. "Hey baby girl," Nick said as he put his hands over my shoulders. "I could feel your aura, the energy seemed different" he laughed. "Don't make fun of me" I said as I walked with him. It was almost the end of the session and we were about to go for the holidays. "Do y
Killing booth Chapter 7: MOTHER OR A MUM?
Trying desperately hard not to believe the words of my Principal, I couldn't help but see the physical similarities between her and myself. We looked alike no doubt but different characters, I could bet on that because no matter what the circumstances were I would not leave the child that I gave birth to without casting care on her. Well, it became crystal clear that anybody could be a mother but a Mum is someone who would find all means to take care of you. My Dad was my Mum as well because he took it upon himself to give me both motherly and fatherly love and attention. Getting back to class after receiving one of the greatest shocks of my life, I sat in my seat next to Kate. I could feel Kate's eyes on me expecting an explanation for the sudden meeting I had with the Principal. I couldn't utter a word because I was trying so hard to process the latest development that has just unfolded right before my eyes. I've always wanted to feel my mother's love but I always acted unbothered
Killing booth Chapter 6: THE OLD HAG
Things were going well between Nick and me, I suggested we kept our relationship a secret. He was not okay with it at first but I convinced him since I needed time to feel a bit more comfortable about making everyone know about our relationship. He randomly dropped love notes in my locker and celebrated our first week anniversary. He was so sweet and continued to express his affection towards me, I was genuinely happy and hoped it lasted forever. The only person who knew about our relationship was Kate. She kept teasing me when we were in school. Nick has made everything feel better, school wasn't such a bad place for me to go anymore. I've been contemplating going to Harvard as well, I guess when you have genuine feelings towards someone your world could change just to have them closer to you.The first week of our relationship has been fun, we hung out secretly together and we text each other a lot. "You thought it was over, didn't you?" Have you ever wondered why when you think yo
Killing booth Chapter 5: MY FIRST
"Hey, babes" Kate screamed. It was Tuesday and Nick and I slept in the lab the previous night. When the janitor came in to open the door, we hid and left the lab after he had gone out. I took a shower at the girl's restroom and got a toothbrush from Nick. I guess Nick went home because I hadn't seen him in class. "Hi bestie," I said surprisingly. I was showing some affection towards Kate, I guess I have become softer. Kate told me of how her Dad and Mum surprised her with a pre-birthday gift by giving her a car. I showed genuine happiness towards her. I was a Lil bit worried about Nick maybe not a Lil but I was really worried. We had a couple of tests during school hours, it was time to go home and I was packing my books, Nick walked up to me."Where have you been?" I asked genuinely worried. Kate took the initiative to let us talk and left for home. He looked at me and I remembered our kiss and blushed. "You look pink" he stated. I looked away and tried to remain calm. He offered to
