Threads of Betrayal 14. It's a prank
Sighing, I stopped a bus. I could take the bus because I'm way too exhausted to walk home and it's getting late already. I didn't wanna risk anything right now... I'm not even in the mood to do so. I entered the bus and was able to sit at the window side of the bus, so I got to see the views as we moved, and that made me forget all my worries for some minutes before reality hit me again when the bus halted at my stop. I paid the driver and headed straight home. The key was still under the doormat, which was strange; Ary should be home by now... she's been coming home really late and leaving early for work, which is starting to get weird. She's got some explanations to do when she's back. I'm so waiting for her till she's home this time. I flanged my backpack on the couch and sat down tiredly on the sofa. A few minutes later, I heard knocking on the door. Hoping it would be Ary, I stood up to open the door and see who it was. I opened the door only to be caught off guard. "What are yo

"Early to sleep, early to rise, Kira... but that's not stopping me from playing anyway," I said. I went over to my wardrobe and brought out my mom's Scrabble for us to play. "Oh didn't know you have Scrabble in here" "Yeah, it's some of my mum's stuff I was able to pick before I was chased out." "Oh" "Forget about that, let's play," I said and sat down, folded my legs, and spread out the Scrabble sheet. "Hey Kira" I called out to her "Yes what up," she said as she started playing on the scrabble "That's a 20 for me," I said before I continued talking "Yeah.. so as I was saying..is there anything going on between you and Kyle that you're hiding from me?" "What? Kyle? And me? " "Yeah I just asked what's going on between you and Kyle" "There's absolutely nothing going on between me and Kyle..does it look like something is going on between us?" She said and she played WEREWOLF on Scrabble which earned her a ninety "Well that much I'm losing already..how do you even know how t

"Nope I don't care who he is, it's late, I'm alone so let's just play it safe," I said to myself and I decided to head back home but I saw that he was getting up already I guess he regained his strength again but I noticed he's looking over to my side and looks like he's coming over "Oh my God" I muttered under my breath and turned back, cause if he was following me I better not lead him to my house so I started increasing my walking pace but it looked like he wasn't giving up either and he was about to catch up with me but nah all those training in high school won't go to waste and I started increasing my speed. "Hey wait up" I heard the guy say "Oh you wish" I muttered but kept increasing my pace and he was doing the same too "Oh my God, help me all I wanted was a goddamn night walk not to get myself killed" "Gosh I should have at least taken peanut with me what the hell was I thinking, I just hoped I didn't get lost this time and I couldn't even try to go back home, that's

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't joke with a knife, okay?" He said fear was written all over his face "Err I thought I said it can't kill," I said smirking and lowering the knife a bit "Can you ever take the slightest joke? Huh?" "Well I don't joke when it comes to life," I said taking the knife off his neck completely and we continued walking "I was just kidding, not that you should kill me with that," He said checking his neck to see if there was a cut or something "C'mon you're good I didn't cut you okay," I said smiling "Hmm... I see that" he said giving me a weird look I just nodded my head and smiled a little "That was a joke you know" "Of course I know and that was what I was doing too playing with you," I said smirking "With a knife? That's an expensive one" "Oops looks like someone was scared" "Nice brave work Diana," I said giving myself a heads-up "No, I was not," He said, smiling too...

"Yeah just one sentence" "Well, that's huge, but okay, let's see... I'd say It's been full of various experiences" "Hmm that's nice "full of experiences" I'll take that" "Here we are," I said and showed him the beach "Did you call this place special?" He said "Um yeah" I replied "I've been here countless number of times...it's not special it's just a beach," He said smiling "Oh wow... I thought you said a while back that you don't know what's up again" I asked "Yeah about that. I know about every nook and cranny of Hawthorne, that was just to make you take a stroll with me" he said "So you lied," I said laughing "Hmm not really," He said while I just shook my head " Well, I guess you do know your way around then," I said "So let's see what we have here," I said, looking for how we would enter. "But it's locked how do we get in" He said "Yeah locked but not for me," I said,d chuckled, and went to check out if the fence was still twang "Nice," I said and started c

"Yeah I get, it, most, people think I'm from Hawthorne, it's just a few who know my story" I replied"Do you wanna talk about it? It's okay if you don't; I get it?" " he said, and I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and started telling him what I hadn't said to anyone in years."I used to be a rich little lovely girl back when I was in Athens" I began"So you're from Athens?" He asked"Yeah, I had a perfect family; my life was perfect, my mum so lovely and my dad supportive and caring. He was the best dad I could ever wish for; they were the best parents one could ever have. My life was so perfect not until one day when it all started to crumble.I woke up one day to an argument between my dad and my mum. I was surprised cause I'd never seen them fight before, but I concluded in my mind it was just some couple of things, and it was none of my business they'd settle it with each other; why go in between them?When I noticed my dad was gone, I came out of my room and asked Mum what ha

I finally got home and lay down beside Kira to sleep, and I covered myself with my bedspread. The blanket couldn't cover us both so I'd just manage the bedspread like that. Before falling asleep I made sure to put off my alarm cause I couldn't risk anything disturbing my beauty sleep tonight...I ain't going to work tomorrow so I have the whole day all to myself... "Good night Diana," I said and gave myself a peck on my forehead before finally falling asleep. "Hey Dia wake up, wake up" I heard Kira say beside me "Hum, just some minutes more please...will get up after" "Do you want to sleep throughout the whole day?" "Hmm hmm," I said while nodding my head as a sign of No "Get up already it's almost past 12 " "Yeah in the morning so what.. we've got time Kira to go sleep" "No Diana past twelve as in past noon" "What?" I said as I hurriedly jumped off the floor I was sleeping "That's a lie it can't be past twelve already" "Does the alarm to lie now?" She asked as she brought f

"Hmmm..I missed you too" I heard her murmur in my ears and I giggled a little "When last have I even set my eyes on you huh?.." "Where have you been?" "Just working you know and like I told you before I've been working double shifts so I hardly have time even for myself" "Double shift?.." "Yeah..any problem?.." "So, I guess this double shift of yours doesn't give you a break," I said with an air quote "And why do you have to work double shifts all the time..." "Hmm hmmm.. I'm still here you guys" "Oh sorry Kira didn't mean to cut you out like that... just happy she's back" "Yeah, yeah, I understand. Anyway, can we at least eat before you guys continue? Cause this is getting cold already, and you know I don't fancy cold foods." "Oh yeah sure," I said as I sat down picked up my sandwich from the plate and started eating "Hey, Ary, you've eaten?" I heard Kira ask "Oh yeah true have you," I co-asked "Yeah, I ate a little at work, but it looks like I'm starting t

Bianca said opening a freezer that was locked behind a door that I'm sure I've never seen in my whole life I've been with Ary and my mouth opened wide in surprise"I can't believe Ary has all this in the house while I starve most of the time and eat sandwiches like there's no tomorrow or probably some stolen foods I got from the restaurant while we have good stuffs in the house" I said in my mind"But where did she get all of these good foods from?

Diana POV"Geez" I can't believe I almost injured myself with the door. Thank goodness she didn't see that after I left the room I went straight to the living room and sat down for a minute. Shortly after I decided to go check up on Ary in her room and maybe tell her about what happened yesterday depending on the situation I met her in"Oh God, I still feel sleepy; I don't know why Kira woke me up," I said and walked sluggishly to her room. "Knock knock" I knocked on her door yawning but there was no reply"Maybe she's still sleeping" I concluded and left the door"Wait a minute, didn't Bianca say it was afternoon already? It's not possible she's still sleeping" I said and turned back to her room"No no wait, what is she's sleeping I might end up disturbing her sleep and she's not going to spare me if I did" I said and turned back again fearing her scolding"Just a check won't hurt not that I'm going to make any noise or anything," I said to myself and then summoned the courage to wa

Bianca asked rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm like she still wanted to go back to sleep only if she knew what the time says"Early, you say. Do you know what the time is? But I guess not" I asked"10 o'clock maybe?" She asked"Oh you wish it's fucking twelve already" I said rolling my eyes"Oh my goodness, I can't believe I slept that long and I haven't eaten," She said and held her grumbling tummy"We slept late so that's worth the sleep," I told her"Since when have you been awake?"
