Chapter Four

It's been 2 weeks since I had come face to face with the stalker. I can still feel his hand on my waist. His chocolate brown eyes staring at me gave me a tingling effect. Whenever I think about him, I feel a burning sensation on my palms and my whole body temperature increases. It's like my body is on fire. I don't know why it's like that, I think it's natural.

When I said about the stalker to Kaitlyn, she smirked and said,

"I told you he is your admirer".

And for the rest of the day, she kept on saying this. And for the rest of the day, I kept on thinking about him. The way he looked at me, the way he held me, the way he said you're mine, everything made my heart beat faster. Also the burning sensation on my palms is increasing. I told my heart to calm down. It was acting as if he kissed me. My heartbeat gradually came to its pace and my palms also relaxed. Kaitlyn kept on blabbering something but I wasn't even listening. My mind was fully thinking about the stalker.

"Ooo...someone is madly in love", Kaitlyn smiled.

"What the hell? I'm not in love. Who said I'm in love?" Or am I?

"You zoned out from this world ages ago", she said.

"I did not", I stomped my foot.

"Then what was I talking about?"

"Uhhh....."

"That's what I thought", I huffed and crossed my arms.

"Don't worry girl. Your secret is safe with me", she smiled wickedly.

"KATHY....", I screamed.

The classes after lunch was so boring. I kept on checking my watch. And when the bell rang, I ran out of the class. The last period is History - the perfect period for sleeping. Mrs. Stanley was taking the class like a lullaby. Kaitlyn was fast asleep. She has the habit of talking while asleep. So my duty was to keep her mouth shut in class. I tapped my feet irritated. Why is the clock not moving faster? Kaitlyn said something and I slapped her. She jerked up on her chair.

"What's the matter Ms. Rose?", the teacher asked.

"Nothing ma'am", she said while glaring at me and I was trying so hard not to laugh.

And finally, the bell rang. We both ran out of the class and was jumping up and down. Kaitlyn was still half asleep. I slapped her once again.

"Wake up girl!! Class is over".

"I'm trying but I can't. Please let me sleep", Kathy whined. I dragged her towards the washroom.

"Go wash your face. And if you come out sleeping again, you will never sleep for the rest of your life", and pushed her inside.

I stayed outside the washroom and waited for Kaitlyn to come out. I didn't go inside because all the cheerleaders will be there dressing up as if they are going for a party. Kaitlyn was taking too long. I know why. She is sleeping inside the toilet. I cursed myself for letting her go into the toilet alone. I decided to go outside without her.

I went to my locker, took the photos and stayed there. It was a picture of my dad and mom sitting in the park. I looked a lot like my mother, with the same hair and eye color. My dad once said that we had the same personality. A tear fell on my cheek.

"I wish you were here mom. I'm sure you would have understood my feelings just by looking at me". I looked through mom's pictures. The tears rolled down my cheeks and a small sob escaped my lips. I wiped my tears and kept the photos back.

I walked through the corridor absent-minded. The place was crowded but I was only thinking of my mom. My life would have been entirely different if she was there. I wish I could get a chance to see and talk to her. Someone suddenly collided with me. I lost my balance and fell on the floor.

" Hey, watch it", I said irritatedly and got up.

"What did you just say?"

I stiffened and realized what I said was a really big mistake. The person I collided with was James, the playboy of the school. I took a step back.

"What did you just say to me?", he roared.

"I-I di-didn't me-ean to...", I stuttered.

"Who are you to speak back to me, you bitch?", he thundered and lifted me off my feet. 'You slut", he hit my head on the locker continuously. My head started bleeding. I reached for his head but I couldn't. I was not able to breathe and I was slowly loosing consciousness.

"Leave her alone you bastard", I heard someone screaming. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Kaitlyn running towards us. Everyone was looking at the scene with excitement.

Kaitlyn pulled James away from me and pushed him towards the locker and started punching him everywhere. She pulled his hair and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. He crumbled to the floor holding his crotch. But Kaitlyn was not finished. She gave a killer karate kick on his head and he fell on the floor unconscious. Everyone was staring at her in horror.

"What are you all gawking at?", she shouted.

Everybody immediately went in different directions, leaving us alone. I stared at her in awe.

"This is what happens when I leave you for a few minutes", she screamed and dragged me out of the school.

When we reached outside, I pulled her into a hug and started crying.

"Kathy..", I sobbed onto her shoulder.

"I know girl, I know", she comforted me but I could feel her shoulders shaking. She was crying too.

I really don't know what I would do without her.
