Kingsworld

Chapter 10  The moment was surreal, but it was abruptly crashed from the vibration of my phone. He let go of my hand and walked closer to the counter the cake is on I checked my phone, it's a text from my mom, they're about to leave, why now I muttered. "So, seems I will be going," I said, I don't want this moment to end, but we don't always get what we want. He just gave me a nod and turned, how sad he has returned to his normal self. I have to make him happy at least before I leave, and I fear that when we see on Monday I won't have the opportunity, because he will be back to his monster self. "Its remaining one piece," I said coming closer, "let's throw a lot and know who gets it," I said, he then looks at me. "What do you suppose?" he asked, I really need to think before I say something. I looked around and saw a book and a pen on another counter, I took it, wrote out some number and tore it apart, one number in...

Chapter 9 I started wandering the house, my God it's big, one can easily get lost, I came to a hallway and saw pictures on the wall. I saw two old couple, I recognized them, they are the ones that hosted this party, and everyone went to greet them like they do in movies. I saw another couple's picture, they're young, the husband has a great resemblance with the old man, if not for the mole differences in the young man face, you will think he is actually the old man in his younger age. I looked at the woman, she is beautiful, more than Amina's mother. "Wow" some people clearly are the definition of beauty, I took a sip of the juice I have then looked down and saw the boy standing beside the woman smiling. He looks like the woman in a more devilish way. I wonder when they took the picture and why I didn't see them here, well maybe they came. I looked at the boy again, he sure will be a lady killer when he grows, his eyes looked strangely familiar. After...

Chapter 8         The party is tonight, I bought a black gown, is either it or red, I choose black, courtesy of Eric's black hoodie.  I must be stupid, thinking of someone that doesn't even care about my existence "Come on ladies, we will be late" my dad screamed from downstairs as if they put a timer for us, I came out the same time with mom. She is wearing a red gown, thank God I chose black. "The two most beautiful ladies in my life" dad said as his eyes shine with admiration "Add important also" my mom always like being praised, and my dad love praising, they made a perfect match. "Important, I just added it," dad said with a grin, he kissed her wrist and led her away like a new bride, I followed, now am invisible. The party was already full when we got there, I found out from dad that it's a birthday party, it's being hosted by the most respected family, probably the richest. "Barbara" I heard Amina called, I...

Chapter 7 I made sure to avoid Kevin after dismissal, I decided am not ready for any date yet, I just have to tell him one way or the other. The conversation with Eric kept playing in my head. "Barbie?. Who does it think he is, that monster, I will make sure to give him a piece of my mind tomorrow" I said as I drift off to sleep. "So tell me,  how has school been," my dad asked as we eat our breakfast. "Fine" I answered "Good, I will give your mother money to go buy your new gown, we have a party to attend on Friday." Since my dad success we always get an invitation to parties, some he takes me and mom, others he takes only mom. "Am grown up, soon I will 17, I can go get it myself" I looked at mom cause once she agrees dad will. "Sure, but I will send the picture to your phone, so you will know the one to buy," she said and smiled, am already planning on how to take Amina, I always read about it in the novels, it's...

Chapter 6         "Who's there?" I asked since the leaves hid his face, I took a step back ready to run, cause if he is a rapist or murderer he can easily do that to me and nobody will hear my scream since here is far from the school building. "Just an idle observer," he said, I recognized the voice, my eyes widened, perhaps his here to kill me because of the incident. "Eric, how come you're here," I said and took a step back, he then jumped down still wearing his hoodie sweater. "By nature I grave serenity, so imagine how easy it was to find here," he said looking around, he had his hands in his pocket, I looked at him, he seems fine, maybe the punishment was a lie. "It's impossible, you never leave the class, and I discovered it by wandering around," I said, I still feel he followed me "Look over there" he pointed behind me, it took me a while to look, I guess I don't trust him, he might jump me as I l...

Chapter 5        I woke with a terrible headache, it's because of the scary nightmare, I dreamt of Eric with his mask, he has fangs and was sucking my blood, I was so powerless. "You sure you don't want to stay home?" my mom asked, she noticed my sickness, that's why you hardly hide things from mothers "Sure mom, it's just a slight headache, it will wear off" I answered, I would like to stay home, but I really want to see Eric and know what happened. "OK, if you say so, do tell the school authority if anything happens" she said and I gave her a nod, "goodbye then" she said, I waved her and entered the car, yea I have a very cute car, venza that drives me to school, being rich have its perks.       Imagine my sadness when school dismissed but Eric didn't come, I just have to put up a fake smile for Kevin and his flattery. The second day Eric still didn't come, the worse is the delinquents were all sad even playful Ric...

Chapter 4       Everyone was anticipating what he will do, it's frustrating that I can't see his face to know his reaction, he reached out for his friends, whispered to them and help the fallen ones up. Everyone was watching his every step, he doesn't look strong to me, for the fact he always wears hood makes him look like he is sick and has never left the class. After helping his mates up, they walked away, nobody expected that and it left Kelly's lips open. "And where do you think you're going" Kelly finally said when he got hold of himself. "Wouldn't it be better if we all stop now before someone get hurt" Eric answered without looking back. "Oh, someone is already hurt, my ego," Kelly said and dashed towards him. I looked at Eric to see if he will run or plead he just turn towards Kelly. Kelly was thrown back with his punch, as he fell, Eric kicked his stomach, so hard that Kelly curled up and started coughing. "Who...
