~Samantha's College~
Samantha was having that feeling
That feeling when you just know you're about sneeze
That feeling when you just know today is gonna be hard day
That feeling when your stomach turns ...not in a good way
Samantha sat in one corner , crouched , knees close to her chest, head down, sobbing and shivering
~
Ethan was moving forward when he noticed that something or rather someone special was missing .
Samantha
He turned around and asked some people about his precious human being.
He can never Sam alone like that
NEVER .
Whenever she's away, she's either having a panic attack or she's crying over the things she lacks.
For Ethan she was perfect with imperfections others couldn't see ...... But she never believed.
Ethan started searching for her in every corner .
And there she was.. hunched at a corner
Ethan could see her shivering...
She had been crying
He went towards his one and only and hugged her .
"It's ok ... Nothing is big enough to crush us " he murmured softly
As soon as she felt Ethan ... She realised what she was doing.
She couldn't stop crying and so she continued in Ethan's embrace
After a while , Sam calmed down.
"Now ... What is troubling you sweetheart?" Ethan asked softly
"Jaden" she said
"What about him? Did he forget something? Did he say something?" He asked
"No. I.... I feel like....I don't know .... But ... I wanna know he's okay.... I feel like something is wrong ..." She said haphazardly
Ethan saw her state and said " alright... Call him."
"He won't pick up. That stinky young man ... Why doesn't answer his calls?" She said frustrated now
".. maybe he's in a class.... Don't worry .... I have my first lecture free... I'll check up on him ... Okay .... Now drink some water, wash away the sadness ... And show me that smile of yours" he said nudging her
Sam nodded lightly and smiled a short smile .
Ethan hugged her one last time and went away to the parking lot to get his car and see Jaden .
~Jaden's school~
Jaden was sitting on one of middle benches ... Staring at the teacher in a weird way with a deadly smirk on his now blue lips . His eyes , red.
When the bell went off .
Jaden got up form his seat. He banged his hand the table and ran towards the teacher, towards the ground , holding his throat with all his might . His smile growing and his teeth now visible.
The students ran from the class towards them .
They tried pulling Jaden apart but he had gained enormous strength.
Ethan entered the school campus and saw that Jaden was chocking his teacher .
Ethan ran towards them and shouted
" JADEN . LEAVE . HIM"
Jaden as if he woke up from a slumber looked around himself . He let go the teacher who was coughing, and his lungs were in desperate need of air.
Jaden then looked towards Ethan ,who was shocked seeing Jaden .
Jaden with a confused look said "I....um..... E-ethan ... Are you .... Looking for Sam ?.... She's not home .... I guess... . Wait .... This is not my home ....." He hiccuped " isn't this place familiar though ...... Oh right .... My school.... Why ... What ?".
And he fainted.
~
Jaden woke up in his bed at his house .
As soon as he woke up his head was throbbing uncontrollably . He couldn't open his eyes .
Seeing him get up Sam came and gave him some pills and finally Jaden felt a bit calm
"What happened?" He asked
"You were trying to choke your teacher at school and then you fainted ... Ethan brought you home." Sam explained
"I... I don't remember any of that " he said still clutching his head
"Today is weird . I felt something was off so I asked Ethan to check on you . Next time, you answer your phone even if it means you'll get expelled. Alright !?" Sam said
"... I feel drowsy .. " Jaden murmured
"Sleep a little " Sam said tucking her younger brother to the bed
~Emily & Ava's school~
Eric was still shocked . Seeing a scar on Ava's hand was still a mystry
~
"Shut that loud ass mouth of yours !! Or I'll kick you in places you don't know exists !!!!" Ava yelled when Eric was about ask about the nasty scar .
"O-ok-kay-y." He replied shuttering
~
It was break time and the whole group was out munching on something or other
Emily couldn't understand how she could push someone without having a control over herself
Ava was sweating under the jacket
Shawn was seated on the bench, his leg rested on the bench
Eric thinking of all the possible ways Ava can get hurt , and why was she hiding it ?..
Vanessa started a conversation.
"You know today Emily and Ava are like angry birds hehheeh.... Getting angry at ... Nothing at all !!" And giggled
Stacy joined the laugh
Though the subjects of the joke were not very attentive
"You know good friends help when they feel like the other is not like usual ... Rather than making a joke of it ..." Shawn stated
"Is it funny to laugh at... Huh... Stacy , Vanessa ?" Eric commented
" You think I'm a bad friend? Well I don't think good friends do that to your leg."Vanessa said pointing at the wound on Shawn's leg
"And I was trying to 'lighten' the mood here ... Okay... But since you want to be gloomy stay here " she said running away and Stacy ran to her.
"It's okay ... Everyone has bad days we are not robots now are we ?" Eric said and passed some crackers to the girls .
Afternoon
~The secret place ~
The group sat there wondering how the day went ... Jaden was missing as he was resting.
Sam got up and said " okay guys ... This is haunting me all day ... I need to take this out ."
Emily and Ava became attentive and nodded
"So yesterday... Someone came through the window in my house .... And they tried to attack me ... They tried to choke me ... But I counter attached with the cutter I had nearby .... And I somehow survived .... It was small figure ... I don't know who though " She said
"I have something bugging me too" Emily said head lowered
Ava and Sam nodded
" I ... I don't know how and why ... But I ... Pushed Shawn in the ground and he got severely wounded ... I didn't want to I swear ..... But as if got possessed or something .... I ...ugh....also 2 days back I heard some noise in the corridor... When went to see... There was a hooded figure ...I...argh ! " She said holding her head
Ava and Sam patted her and consoled her
Ava thought .... My hand ... It looks like I got hurt by a c-cutter.
Wasn't it a nightmare ?
D-did I get hurt my mistake or?
"Guys I-l..... 2 days ago, Addie came to my house ... He was acting weird . And I went to kitchen to bring some snaks , when I returned... Addie was not there and .... Mom told me that h-he got into an accident .... At a park near his house ." She said and the other two looked shocked .
"A-and ... Yesterday I had a nightmare.... I thought someone attacked me... But when I woke up I had a scare on my hand there .... And it looks like a cutter wound.... I..."
Fear and shock were clearly visible on each one of their faces which had lost all colour .
