Audrey POV
“What are you up to?”
“Where are you taking me?” I rasped from the back seat. “It's a surprise, girl” He darted his eyes towards me and winked. Oh my goodness! I glanced around the neighborhood and for the first time in my life, I was scared.
It's an abandoned estate, it was so quiet and looks rough. But why has he brought me to this place? “Why have you brought me here, you bastard!” I shrieked, strangling his neck.
He held my hands and twisted them before pushing me back, roughly. “Ouch!” I yelped.
I struggled to push the doors open, but they're locked. Oh, no…
“We are here already”
He stopped driving and pushed his side door open and stepped out. “Come out,” He ordered in a cold voice after he opened the back door.
I stared around, everywhere was damn silent! I can't even see a person around.
“Are you crazy?!” I thundered.
“I'm not stepping out of this cab, so It would be best for you if you can get behind the wheels and take me back to where you picked me from. Or else…”
“Or else what?” He cut in.
He stretched his hand to the driver seat and I watched as he put on a face mask.
My heart was now beating very fast.
He dragged me out of the car with my hair.
“Argh!” I groaned.“You think this is a joke?” He grunted under the mask.
Without thinking, I sent a resounding slap across his cheek, causing him to stagger backward. “Why did you bring me here?” I roared, moving close to him.
He didn't say a word, he just stares at me.
“Answer me, you fool!” I shouted at him, but the next thing I received was a punch in the nose, sending me to the ground.
“You think you can bully me? Huh,” He sneered, counting his steps towards me.
My nose hurts so bad, I pressed a finger to it- it's bleeding.
He pulled me up with my uniform, aggressively. Rage crept on me- I had enough.
I sent him two hard blows in the stomach, he fell to the floor, groaning in pain.
I kissed my fist and smirked at his pained face. “Should I tell you what I love doing, mostly?” I smiled, lopsidedly.
I bent a little. “Wrestle” I whispered.
“I love wrestling so much”
With all the power in me, I successfully made him stand on his feet.B“I'm going to ask this question for the last time,” I said angrily.
“Why did you bring me here, Head prefect?”
He groaned, which disgusts me, so I sent an elbow punch to his stomach again.
He steadied himself against the car and charged towards me with his hand fist.
I dodged it and winked at him. I jumped up a little and sent him a flying kick, causing him to lie lifelessly on the floor. “Argh” He yelped.
Foolish boy.
Briefly, I looked up at the sky. Oh, my…
It's really late, mum would be so worried.
I better get going.
“Hey!”
“You're going to give me an explanation tomorrow, understood?” I told him before opening the cab door to carry my backpack and marched off at once.
But Audrey, let's view this in the real sense. I thought as I walked down on the silent street.
We both have never talked before.
Then why did he do this?
The thought hit me and I gasped.
It might be that fool, that new fool that followed me to my house few days ago.
I should confirm before going home.
I turned around to go and meet the Head prefect where he was lying, motionless.
I didn't see it coming.
He hit me with a plank and I think I saw stars.
“Argh!” I shouted in pain before crashing to the floor. “Who do you think you are?” His voice came, faintly.
I tried fighting it,
I tried to open my eyes, so I can face him squarely, but I couldn't.
Min jun POV
He gestured at me to sit down, I dragged back one of the two chairs across his table and sat down.
I still wonder why he has called me.
“Min jun, right?” He raised a brow.
“Yes sir” I nodded.
“You must be wondering why I have called you,” He began as he leaned back on his seat.
“You see, I've fallen in love with your talent since the last assignment I gave your class,” He praises with a smile on his lips.
I gave a small bow in appreciation.
“You're very talented”
“You can make your works known to the public, you know? Maybe an art gallery or something?” He suggested, lifting his shoulder a little.
“I'm longingly expecting that too,” I replied,
He gave a nod before adjusting on his seat.
“I want to request for something, Min jun”
“Will you do it?”
I smiled before speaking up. “I can't say no to my teacher, I'll definitely do it if I can, sir” I responded politely.
“Now I see that you're not only talented, you're also intelligent,” He complimented.
I bowed again- he should say the request already. I'm seriously hungry as I am.
“Uh mm… Can you make an art picture of the principal?” He asked, staring at me.
I felt my heart skip. Huh?
“You see, I just want your talent to be well known in this school, this state, all over the countries, even” He explained, but I just watch his mouth- not knowing what to say.
“Is this… Your request?” I asked him.
“Yes Min jun, and I believe you can do it” He said, assuredly. I stared at him for a while before nodding my head.
*****
“Sorry for keeping you waiting,” I apologized to the driver before hopping into the car.
He got behind the wheels and drove out of the school premises.
I really can't wait to get home- I'm famished.
I sighted a figure through the front screen- I recognized her. “Please slow down,” I told the driver.
She's moving to and fro, obviously waiting for a cab.
Our gazes locked while the driver drive slowly past her. I felt it again!
There's this tingling feeling I feel each time our eyes locked.
I watched her from the side mirror.
Why's she just going home?
A cab finally halted before her, and I watched as she got inside the cab. Uhm mm
'Here's a chance for you, Aaron,' My subconscious mind whispered.
'What chance?' I crumbled my face.
'Don't you want to know where she lives?'
F**k you!
'What's your problem?' I yelled at him inwardly. “Uhm mm, Chang” I called the driver. He glanced back.
“Could you please trail after that cab,” I said in more like a request, itching my left ear.
“Sure” He answered. “I prefer not to be noticed” I added, and he just nodded.
I watched the cab, with my fingers shoved in my hair. Why am I doing this?
'You'll find out soon' He sneered- my subconscious mind. I just rolled my eyes.
Later...
“But didn't I tell you to trail after the cab?” I almost shout at the driver. He lost his track while following the cab, and now, he can't even tell which way they follow.
“I was actually following the cab, Master Aaron” He defended and believe me, I resisted the urge to give him a knock on his head.
“Then where's the cab you're following?” I asked him, bluntly.
He lower his head, ashamedly.
“I'm sorry,” He apologized.
I exhaled, raking a hand through my hair.
Look what you caused Psycho, I've never sounded so rude to him before but now…
“It's okay,” I breathed. “Let's just go home”
“Okay, but can we just check this street first?” He asked me, looking at me from the front mirror.
I took my eyes to the street, and it looks so old and not well-kept.
Psycho can't possibly be staying here.
“No, Chang” I shook my head.
“Let's just go home”
“Okay” He ignited the engines.
“Hold on” I said, and he glanced at me from the mirror. “I'll just check” I opened the door and came out of the car.
“No, Master Aaron”
Chang said behind me, but I was on the street already, looking from one place to the other.
“Master Aaron”
Chang kept calling as he trailed behind me, but I didn't answer him.
I ran for a while and stopped to catch my breath. I can't see the traces of a cab.
“It's getting late, Master Aaron” Chang reminded. I shut my eyes briefly and sighed softly.
I made to turn around, but I caught a glimpse of a figure, lying on the floor.BHuh?
I moved nearer to satisfy my curiosity, and I felt my heart drop at the sight before me.
She's covered in her own blood, I quickly crouched in front of her.
“Psycho” I shook her, but she's not moving.
My breath caught in my throat as I shivered with fear. Who did this?
Tears gathered in my eyes as I watch blood oozes from her head, “Psycho, please open your eyes”
My heart was now beating very faster than usual.
I carried her in my arms, and it was as if she weighs nothing, I started running towards where the car was.
“Let me carry her,” Chang said, when I was already close to the car.
“Just open the car!” I shouted.
I looked at her again, she was not opening her eyes, neither she was making a move.
Who could have done this to her?
Who did this to my Psycho?
