Frightened

A hit to the face.

I was completely done with this! This stupid guy... I hate him! Who gave him the right to bully me? I groveled on the floor. I was so weak.

“You better have my homework next time... stupid...”

Why? Why? That was a question I could never answer. I was so weak against this guy. He had black hair and bright red eyes that would pierce my soul.

“I wish I could change schools already.”

I was sick of this kids bullying. I started to pick myself off of the floor. I tidied up my uniform and my glasses and shook my hair a bit. I wondeeed what the girl wanted.

Aina was a member of the student council, and I would always help her carry papers about. Today she asked me to meet her in a classroom. I wondered what she would need help with, or if she wanted to tell me something. I sauntered my way over to homeroom class A. I could see all of the kids running through the halls and out of the school. Today was Friday and everybody was probably going out to dinner or something with friends. I waited a few minutes until everybody but Aina was left in the room. I could see her face flush as I walked in.

“I- um, what did you need help with?”

Aina responses with,

“Actually I- I needed to tell y-you something... I-I like you and Um... are you willing to be my b-boyfriend...”

I was shocked. Aina is pretty popular in school, so why would she like a nobody like me? But I didn’t feel that way towards her.

“I-I’m sorry Aina but...”

Thud. There she was. Face first into the floor. I could see a wound in her back, and it looked really deep. H-how? Was she dead?

I looked in astonishment at the sight. A tear started to roll down my face.

“Don’t cry... I would hate to see your tears wasted on this girl...”

What? I slowly brought my head upwards. My whole body was trembling. It was him. Chrome. My bully. And now, a murderer. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Everything was happening so fast. I fell to my knees.

“Y- you...”

I started to studder.

“Don’t worry my darling...”

Chrome started to talk but my mind was elsewhere. He’s a murderer. Aina is dead. Why? Why? WHY?

“HEL-“

I started to scream for help when I was cut off. By a warm kiss...

I was so confused. I pushed Chrome away from me.

“What are you doing?!!”

Chrome smiled sweetly, almost like there wasn’t a dead girl in front of us, and like there wasn’t her blood on his hands. How did I get myself into this.

“Don’t worry my darling, I will clean this up. Go have a good rest at home... wait for me.”

I scurried onto my feet and ran. As fast as I could. I needed to get home, only there would I be safe. I ran up to my doorstep and took out my key. I fumbled trying to put it in, but I finally got it. I bursted through the door and bulted up the stairs. I dropped my bag and flopped on my bed. I turned my head slightly to look at the picture on my bed stand. Mom, Dad... I really wish you were here right now.
