KELLY BEACONS

CHAPTER 8

  One thing about Lily is, if she wants to get something. She is always focused not letting go. There were times when I liked it and there were times when I detest it like at this moment. Am out of breath but she keeps running after me. I shouldn't have joked with her.
   We were in the school hall but she kept on running after me. Everyone was just staring. Some students just smiled at us while others had an expressionless look. Anyways that's not my concern. I just want to stop running.
 
Immediately I sight someone standing near my locker, I grab the person in an attempt to use as a shield. I was just pleading. "Am...am" I was so out of breath. "Am sorry." I finally said

"Sorry won't do." She replied jokingly. She was about to hit me when I used the person to protect myself.
  We went on and on for some minutes before the principal passed and she was like

"Miss Kelly and lily, both of you should attend classes and stop fooling around." And with that lily walked away giving me the 'I WILL BE BACK ' kind of look. The principal who took a few steps forward suddenly came back and said

"Kelly you too go and attend your class and let go of Christopher's shirt." And she moved away.

Christopher? I asked myself. My heart started racing more than usual. If I have even realized I was holding on to a guy shirt, I would have allowed Lily to hit me. But now this is Christopher. What difference does it even make? And with that conclusion in my mind, I began to gain composure and said

"What are you doing standing close to my locker?." I immediately began to curse myself. Am meant to say sorry for dragging him down but here I am being foolish.

"Sorry I... I...I " I couldn't complete my sentence as my voice faltered.

"It's okay. " I was taken aback by his response and he just left me in the middle of the school hall.

"You haven't answered my question."

"If you want to know the answer, see me after school."

"Are you stalking me?." I asked even though the question wasn't connected to anything and he chuckled lightly.

   I wanted to ask another question but I realized we were already in front of the class. We were having history. I loved history. It was an optional subject during first terms and this was a first term. It was awkward liking history because I was a pure science student.
