They both talked for few more minutes before the bus arrived.
sofia

they both went for school in bus while the way to school serene feel unease runs in her spine. She felt stare. That someone is intensely watching her. She looked around but get no one. She waves off that feeling of unease for her illusion.
? ? ?

When serene and Sofia enter in their classroom. Someone approaches serene, he was arien the most beautiful and charming boy in class...all the girls tell him sunshine. But when he approaches serene...She got, so many glares from the girls of classroom. she didn't want to be targeted by everyone so she nods and walk pass by him.

serene
I don't want to repeat my past Sofia...so let it be~
? ? ?

The same unease roll down her spine again. She quickly turns around to catch up the problem. But got nothing...
？？？
Hey...Sofia! What happened to serene... I observed her in bus too...she is looking troubled.
sofia
Ah...nothing...thanks for your concern. It's fine 🙂
Sofia also seems to observe her. She is looking more tensed and troubled about something.
In evening at 4 pm, both went to the auditorium for their extra practice...surprisingly no one else from their batch was there. They both changed into ballet gown and shoes.
sofia
It's weird...no one else is here. Teacher said all of us to practice but no one else is here except us.
serene
Something is off...Sofia…! Can't we dump class for today...!?
sofia
No...well it's better to be alone...
sofia
We can practice freely without thinking about judging so…just chill babe~
They both took their position on stage and the background filled with the melody of tune of 'pray' by klang
the song is melodious. They both did sauté and relevé. They both look like swan...this is when serene feel herself without thinking about past and present tension.
? ? ?
Guapísimo...(gorgeous) my lady~ I knew it...you're perfect for me...you're truly made for me...oh my~
Serene's body tensed when she catches someone is peeking through the window. She marched towards the window to find out, but he is gone.
sofia

serene
N-nothing... I thought someone is watching us...
sofia
*sarcastically*…really? So it's good we'll damn good in ballet and if he or she…whatever they were...they'll spread this to whole school and if that happens we'll be famous and that bi*ch won't bother us...
serene
*stare at Sofia with neutral expression then leave a low but cheerful chuckles*…yeah…yeah….but I didn't know that my cute little Sofia is sarcastic and abuser...*wiggle her brows*
sofia
oh...please serene... I was just...he-he
they both Laugh and talk with each Other. other hand someone is staring at serene keeping her moments in his camera...
? ? ?
they both went to their houses and separated in crossroad.
serene
(💭again...this feeling I don't know what is happening between these days but I always feel unease toward my surroundings. like someone is watching me...noticing me..like they're stalking me!💭)
? ? ?
...*walking quietly behind her without letting her know*
serene
*breathing steadily*...I should call father that I left the auditorium
serene call her dad at crossroad and suddenly felt a hand on her mouth and dragged towards the lonely alley of street. She was struggling to be free, but the person's grip was like iron. he pinned her to wall and with both hand above her head.
serene
mmph...mm...*She's panicking and whimpering in shock*
? ? ?
shh...my lady~ why rush when I'm here with you. Doesn't it feel...divine~
The person wore a mask that covered her whole face except His eyes. his eyes are hazel and beautiful but something dark hidden behind t Hem.He was staring at her eyes like trying to look in her soul...and hell yeah he was looking under her soul. he smirks beneath his mask obviously we can't see that but still his eyes crinkled up like he was smirking at her state...whimpering and struggling to free like bird in cage.
He leans down towards her ears and letting her feel his hot breath on her neck.
serene
*shiver runs down in spine*...mmph..sobs...
? ? ?
shh..Don't cry..I won't hurt you...not yet*he pull the last word like they meant something*
he nuzzles in her neck and grazing his covered lip on her soft skin. his one hand keeps her locked and the other one slide down to her waist hus grip his firm nit bruising but yet dominant.
? ? ?

her mouth is free from his grip and she glare at him in fury and defiance
serene
who are you...and what the hell are you talking about...leave me before I shout...
Suddenly he released her and step back...yet staring at her like predator, but he walks out in darkness like shadow. Serene left stunned and shocked. She walks towards her home in silent.
She arrived at her home...still stunned and feared. A sudden voice pulls back her to realty.
nikolay
Serene...where were you? Huh…this is too late…what were you doing, and why didn't you call me?
Her father voice is cold and angry
she rushed towards Her room without saying anything. her father shouting and screaming her name over and over again, but she locked herself in her room and slide down to floor with back towards wall.
serene
Sobs...cough...hic..what the hell was that...
she was crying and sobbing for an hour.
After sometime l feel like an hour she took shower and went to bed without having dinner. Her mom tried to call her and convince her for dinner, but she didn't answer and went in restless sleep.
note...!?

she fell in a pitful sleep and her shoulder is still tensed from the incident.
? ? ?
