Trust me

Chapter 6- Ditch school

I had a nightmare last night, after Frank left I fell asleep on my bed. He was in my dream again too, but this time he was evil. More evil than before. There was something weird about him last time and this time it was even weirder. He threatened me in my dream this time, said that if I didn't 'let him in' he would start hurting people, my friends, my family. I didn't believe him of course, I just shook my head and walked. He grabbed me though, he made me look into his eyes and shiver with fear. Something was wrong with him, he wasn't 'human'.

"Phoebe, school now!" Mum shouted and I grabbed my bag sighing, I really didn't feel going to school, I know that feelings normal but since I bumped into Frank that day, ugh I just feel different. I mean his okay? I wouldn't mind being friends with him so I don't need to be afraid of him anymore, but what if I do become friends with him and learn his scarier than I thought?

I ran downstairs and to mum who handed me my lunch for the day, I'd rather have this then school dinners now. I shoved it in my bag and slung it over my shoulder running out of the house. I was kinda late but hell?I ran through the streets not bumping into Frank for once. I ran to the gate and saw Harry just about to walk in with Joey. I ran and grabbed his arm making him turn and look at me, he didn't really look great. Pale and honestly, he looked scared.

"I'm not as late" I chuckled and he quickly pulled his arm away. "Oh sorry" I whispered pointing to his arm, "Hope I didn't hurt you"

"Stay away from me Phoebe" He whispered weakly and I looked at him confused, "You're trouble, Just keep away" He sighed and walked into school. What the hell!? I'm trouble? I ran in after him and stopped in front of him. "Phoebe..."

"No! I want an explanation and now!" I shouted, he couldn't just ditch me like that! With no reason? The only bad thing iv'e done is being late to school and that never effected him before!

"My sister was terrified" He frowned "I mean, She's only four! Why would you get someone to do that!?" He shouted making everyone stare, what was he talking about?

"Get someone to do what?" I asked lowering my voice.

"Scare her like that, why would you send that man into her closet! She couldn't sleep all night because of that!" He lowered his voice making people continue walking.

"I didn't send anyone"

"Then how come he said you did, trying to prank me. He had a picture of you two! He said he was your boyfriend and that if I went near you again he'd hurt her. I'm sorry Phoebe but whilst you're with that dick then you stay away from me" He snapped and walked.

"I don't have a boyfriend Harry! What man? What does he look like!?" I shouted through the corridor but he continued walking. "Who" I sighed quietly. What a great start to a day eh? I haven't done anything and I get blamed for it. One name came to my head, Frank! But Frank doesn't know where Harry lives, he doesn't know anything about Harry so he has to be dismissed from the suspect list. I don't really know anyone though. I sighed loudly and walked, I wasn't going to lesson, I was going for a walk. If anything I needed to clear my head.

"Phoebe!" I heard a voice from behind me and stopped, "Oh nearly bumped into me again!" He chuckled and I turned to see Frank.

"Why are you here? You left school" I mumbled and he tilted his head, I hated it when he did that. It made him look evil and sadistic.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed" He chuckled, "I thought we could hang you know?" He sniffed looking around.

"Hang? But I'm in school" I raised an eyebrow. He shrugged. "You want me to ditch school to hang with you?"

"Yeah, I need to apologise for last night, it was pretty creepy of me. Please, I bet this isn't the first time you've ditched school" He smirked, he was right. I wanted to stay in school, I wanted to keep safe in school but I walked with him to the exit. It was like my brain was telling me to stay and keep away from him but my heart was lost and following him.

"Fine, what we going to do?" I asked and he linked arms with mine playfully, well I hope anyway. He smirked and looked at me.

"I have to show you something, big secret of mine but...I trust you, there's something about you Phoebe, it's like I know you won't tell. You're a secret keeper and good friend" He smiled and I couldn't help but smile and blush.

"Thanks Frank" I whispered as we walked out of the school and...Into town?

"The thing is, can you trust me?" He asked and I bit my lip, could I trust a man I don't really know? Someone who terrifies me yet I want to be with him, I sound like a girl who's in love. That's impossible though, maybe a crush? Wait, do I have a crush?
