☆STAY AWAY FROM ME ☆
EASTWOOD HIGH.
Kimberly opened her locker to take her books but then she saw a note there. She furrows her eyebrows and took the note.
“AH!” She gasped with the note dropping from her hand as she saw the content.
“STAY AWAY FROM JAYDEN” was scribbled carelessly with blood. She looks around the students panting but couldn’t find anyone suspicious.
Then her phone buzzed. She brought it out and check the message. Her eyes widened when she saw what it was.
“Im always watching you” Was texted to her by an unknown number. She immediately clicked on the number calling it but it won’t go through. Her eyes scam everywhere as fear gripped her. She wasn’t the type to get scared easily but somehow this seems to get to her. She stopped trying the number when it wouldn’t go through and close her locker leaving there hurriedly.
“Ah!” She yelped when a hand suddenly pulled her. Alarmed she started hitting the person frantically not caring who it was.
“Kim! Kim! Stop it’s me Kim!!” Diego held her hands stopping her. Kim looks at him still panting heavily.
“Hey you okay?” Diego asked worried while she just slump to the floor crying.
“Kim” Diego called in shock while she cries more.
Not knowing what to do, Diego squatted before her pulling her into his arms as she weeps.
***
“Wanna tell me what it is?” Diego asked after she had calmed down.
“It’s nothing…I gotta go” She replied standing up but Diego held her back.
“Don’t be mad at me anymore now Kim…please” He pleaded while she glares at him.
“Get lost Diego!” She snarl leaving.
“SHE’S SICK!” Diego suddenly said stopping her.
“Verna…she’s not in her right senses…she isn’t mentally stable..that’s why…that happened”
“You call that an excuse. Diego…you’re really sickening…don’t talk to me I h@të you now” She gnarl.
“But I love you! I still love you Kim and I regret everything that happened. If only…if only I could turn back time…then I would have resist no matter what”
“You’re too late…my love for you died the moment I realized the kind of a bastard you are” Kim said before leaving now.
“Argh!!” Diego stomp his foot on the floor.
CAFETERIA.
Onda raised her head up as jade dropped his tray of food on their table.
“Why are you here?” Agnes frowns while jade raised his hands up in the air.
“Cool young lady. Jay isn’t in school and I feel super lonely” He replied.
“So…go eat with those whores you Füçk around” Agnes scrowl at him
“Hey easy there…you’re my friends and I wanna eat with you is that wrong? Uh?” He smiles at Onda who let out a cough.
“Right Pumpkin? Or should I leave like she said?” Jade asked her
“Uh?…ohhh…of course…we’re friends” She said slowly while Jade mussed up her hair.
“Let eat friend” Jade smile at Agnes who gave him a glare in return.
“By the way where’s the lioness?”
“I haven’t seen her since we left class earlier…I don’t know also” Onda replied.
“Really…where could she be?” Jade thought.
“But How long have you guys been friends?” Agnes asked.
“We met her during first year but she has been friends with Jay ever since she came to this world” Jade replied simply.
“Childhood friends? But they don’t act like one”
“Exactly…Jay is always taunting her that one could mistake them as enemy. I didn’t believe there were friends at first since they’re always at each other’s throat” Onda said.
“But even though they fight a lot I can tell those two really love each other. They just don’t show it”
“Really?”
“Now that Jay is hurt and isn’t in school Kim must be feeling down…look she isn’t even having her lunch”
“You think she likes him more than a friend?”
“No…Kim likes Diego. She has held a crush on him since middle school. She told me herself”
“Then what about Jay?”
“Hey…that boy is only after anything under skirt he probably doesn’t know the feeling of being in love”
“And how would you know that?”
“Because he’s my friend. I know everything about him”
“Not that…that’s how you are yourself”
“Me? That’s not true”
“Then do you have any one you like. Like really like not just because you wanna Füçk them” Agnes asked while he keep silent. He looks around and his gaze landed at Onda who chokes on her food.
Jade smiles.
“Come to think of it…I’ve never really thought about that. Can there really be a girl I genuinely like?” He said offering Onda water which she collected.
“You’re impossible seriously” Agnes gave him a glare while he grins.
“Are you okay?” Agnes asked Onda while she nods.
“But…how do you know if you like someone?” Jade asked facing Onda.
“Uh?” Onda uhhed.
“How do you know exactly…if you like someone?” Jade asked her again.
“But…why…me?” She shuttered.
“You must know Onda…since you’ve read a lot of books” Jade said.
“Ohhh….” She looks at Agnes.
“Well you…feel nervous whenever you’re with him…or her. You feel butterflies and your heartbeat accelerates. You also feel excited and…and you also find it hard to make eye contact with that person. Being with him or her…makes you feel complete and the thought of him or her…makes you smile…” She bit her bottom lips as she said this.
“Ummm….I see” Jade placed his hands on the table and stare at her.
“Wha…what are you…do…ing?” Onda asked blinking her eyes repeatedly.
“I’m trying to feel the butterflies” He replied simply.
“Uh?” Onda rasied her brows while Agnes nudge him.
“Hey…what are you doing?”
“Why? I’m just trying to do as she said”
“Why would you practice it on her?”
“Then should I practice it on you?” Jade face her.
“You wanna die” Agnes seethed.
“It won’t work with you since you can’t see me like that anyway so…” He returns his gaze to Onda.
“I’mma just try it with someone who can feel it” He said while Onda took her eyes away.
“This won’t do” He stood up and went beside her.
“Wh…what now?” Onda asked while he only smiles standing her up.
“Wh_” Before she could say jack, he pulled her into his arms while Onda went out of it immediately.
His arms wrapped around her tightly and he rested his jaw on her shoulder closing his eyes as well.
After a moment he disengaged holding her who seems to be in a daze.
“Got it! Onda your heart is beating fast…do you like me?” He asked while Agnes pushed him away from her.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Agnes glared
“Me? Just experimenting what she said” he faces Onda back snaping his fingers at her.
“Uh?” She replied.
“i asked if you like me Onda. Your heart was beating rapidly just now” he said.
“I…I just…” She looks around.
“It probably did cause you did that abruptly. She was caught off guard” Agnes butt in.
“Oh really? Is that it?” Jade itch his hair.
“Do you want her to like you? Do you like her?” Agnes said.
“I…I’m not sure. I do feel weird around her sometimes” He smiles and went back to his seat.
“You’re the weird one here…sit Onda” Agnes tapped her.
“Ohh…oh yeah…” She said taking her seat back.
“Are you okay?” Jade asked and she nodded slowly.
“I must have really caught you off guard” He smiles while she coughs facing her food.
ROOFTOP.
Kim Sat on the rooftop staring into space. Probably thinking. What happened other day replayed in her head. How a flower pot was thrown down at her from this very rooftop and how Jayden had taken the hit for her.
Now she’s even getting threat notes and has no idea on what to do. Jayden told her not to report but somehow she feels this isn’t gonna end so soon.
And she feels like she’s being watched also.
No matter what it is…she has to end it before it ends any of them.
She sighs deeply when her phone started ringing bringing her out of her reverie.
It’s Jayden.
She ignored it and it stopped after some moments but then start ringing again.
When it doesn’t seems he’ll stop the incessant calling anytime soon, she had no choice but to pick it up.
? “what?” Her voice came out blank.
? “Hey why did you took so long to pick up the call? Are you in the toilet?” His voice came at the other end.
? “if you’ve got nothing meaningful to say then I’m hanging up”
? “hey wait! Just…wait a sec” He sighs
? “I got discharged” He announced
?”okay…”
?”just…just okay?”
?”you’ve got anything else?”
? “uhhh…Nothing is happening right?.”
? “you want anything to happen?”
? “no I mean…um…forget it. It’s nothing”
? “then I’m hanging up”
?” wait! I…I um…I miss you Kim” He confessed and silence creeped in.
? “Are you high?” Kim’s voice finally came out
? “Yeah I am…see you after school…goodbye” He said in a rush and end the call.
***
Onda’s face beams with smiles as she hugged some music sheets to herself heading to the music room.
These days she really feels happy and peaceful.
No Verna to get on her nerves. Jade and her are getting along pretty well also. He even offered to give her some lessons on music and she’s on her way to meet him right now.
She pushed the door open chuckling to herself after imagining some crazy romantic stuffs happening between them while they’re practicing.
“Come on Onda…you’re only going for practice…practice only” she slapped her cheeks and exhale deeply before going into the music room in smiles.
“I_” Her legs froze while her smile fades away when her eyes caught completely different thing she wasn’t expecting.
Let me tell you what it is.
Right in front of her is Jade busy making out with a girl. Instant emotions of hurt rush down her spine and she couldn’t help but felt betrayed.
“Oh!” The girl ohhed on seeing her and this brought Jade’s attention to her.
“Oh Sh|t!” He groans pushing the girl away.
The sheets in her hands dropped all scattering on the floor.
“Onda wait!” Jade ran to her holding her hand back as she turns to leave.
“Wait Onda…look I’m so sorry i totally forgot you’re coming”
“What different would it have made If you remembered?” She asked back while Jade furrows his brow.
The girl walked up to them placing her hand on Jade’s shoulder.
“Let’s continue later when you’re done sorting out your messes” The girl winked before leaving them.
Onda removed her hand from his.
“Do you have fun playing me?” She asked
“What do you mean? I never did that”
“Sure you did! You’ve been doing that all along Jade you know it!”
“But…what…what did I do exactly?!”
“Playing with my feelings! Toying with it as if it’s nothing!!”
“Onda…”
“Yes! You’re right. I like you! I like you Jade and I’ve been doing that since the first time I saw you”
“What?”
“Don’t act surprised…I’m sure you knew”
“No Onda…I…i didn’t..”
“But you noticed…you must have notice it but still…you played me for a fool. Flirting with me, being extra nice and giving me false hopes…that you feel the same way also. But I must have being a fool…for falling for your lame tricks”
“Onda…”
“I must have been a fool…for forgetting the kind of guy you are” She mutters to herself.
“Look here Onda honestly I never knew you had that kind of feelings for me and I was just being nice cause you are my friend and I find you pretty cute so I just…”
“It’s okay Jade…you don’t have to explain everything. I got it all wrong on my side” she sniffs
“Sorry Jade…I must have misunderstood. Sorry for yelling at you also. I…I’ll take my leave first…” She turns away and ran out of there while Jade just stood there probably feeling confused with the whole thing.
AMAZON’S HOUSE.
Diego got into Verna’s room. The room was silent except for the water rushing probably from the bathroom. He walked to the stereo and put the volume up. Loud enough to be heard outside the door. He then took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom naked.
Verna applied some soap on her body under the shower. She was rubbing her body with it when she suddenly heard loud music booming.
“Who could that be?” She thought but shrugged it off releasing the water which rushed down on her.
She smiles as the warm water touch her body but had to Mõ@n when she suddenly felt hands around her from behind rubbing her body slowly. She gasped and turns her head only to see Diego.
“Brother?” She called surprised while Diego turns her head back.
“Umm…” Another Mõ@n escape her mouth when his hand went to her Vir**nia.
“I have a present for ya…” His husky voice came to her ear.
“Present?” She breathes out.
“Um…”
“What is it?”
“You’re gonna love it…tomorrow I’ll show you”
“Really brother…I can’t wait” She grins
“Um…just wait…” Diego smirk penetrating into her.
“Ugh!!” She held onto the wall as he started slamming into her from behind. Roughly.
“Ahh! Brother….ahhh!!”
NEXT DAY.
“where are we going brother?” Verna asked for the forth time while Diego just smiles.
“We’re almost there” He replied and she grins back.
“I’m so excited”
PSYCHIATRIC HOME
“Get down” Diego said as he park the car while Verna looks around.
“Where is this? What are we doing here?” She asked whilst he only smiles getting down from the car. She did also.
“Brother are we here to meet someone?”
“No…to give you my present. Remember?”
“What is it?”
“The best present you could get right now…admitting you Verna”
“What?” Her eyes widened.
“Verna dear…” She heard a broken voice and turned back only to see her Mother and Mr Amazon approaching them.
“What’s going on here Mom?”
“My dear daughter…I’m sorry…this is all my fault” her mother sobs.
“Mom!!”
“This is the best option for you dear”
“I’m not crazy Mom”
“Daughter…we have no choice but to do this..because we love you. Diego told us many things that happened when we weren’t around and…” Mr Amazon paused.
“We also noticed some things wrong with you dear. You’re still so young and we have to do something.”
“What exactly are you saying? Dad…brother you two can’t do this to me!”
“I’m sorry Verna…I’ll miss you dear sister”
“Dad…”
“I love you daughter”
“Mom…”
“I’m so sorry…this is all my fault. I’ll always come to see you my baby” She hugged her while Verna pushes her away.
“Whose idea is this? Who?? You guys can’t do this to me! I told you I’m not crazy!! Mom…look at me do I look crazy to you uh!!” She continues rambling.
Two nurses came and got hold of her.
“Let…let go of me! I’m perfectly fine! I wanna go back home! Let me gooo!!”
Diego steps closer and whispers to her hearing.
“Have fun in there…ah! Whenever you feel h**rny…you can always Füçk the doctor or perhaps the crazy patients…like you” He smirks while she glared at him.
“I’ll make you pay for this! I won’t let you get away with this!! Let me go! I’m ain’t crazy let me go you psycho!! Let go of me!” Verna continues shouting as she was dragged into the hospital.
“I’ll miss her…” Diego mutters feigning sadness.
“She was such a sweet girl” Mr Amazon said hugging Mrs Amazon who wouldn’t stop crying to himself. His corner lip secretly went up in a smile.
EASTWOOD HIGH.
Diego walked up to class with smiles plastered all over his face. He kept humming happily to himself. His eyes met with that of Kim’s that was also approaching.
“Kim! Kim wait!” He ran to her holding her hand.
“I’m ain’t giving up on you” He said while Kim snatched her hand away. She turns to leave but then saw Jay.
“Hey…I waited yesterday why didn’t you_” Without letting him finished, she turns back to Diego cupping his face, she smashes her lips on his.
Jay’s eyes widened. Diego grabbing the opportunity put his arms around her kissing her more. The students around cooled and took their pictures.
LATER.
“LET GO OFF ME!” Kim groans as Jay pulled her into an unused class slamming the door shut behind him.
“What the hell are you doing Jayden!” She barked.
“What are you doing Kimberly!!” He fired back.
“Hey…have you forgotten what he has done to you how could you go back to him uh!!”
“What exactly has he done!”
“Kimberly!!”
“He apologized”
“I know you…something else is there right? Are you doing this to anger me?”
“And why would I do that?”
“I know you h@të his Sh|t right now. You doing this must have a reason!!”
“There’s nothing…I just wanna go back to him”
“I refuse to believe that and if you don’t tell me what it really is Kim…I’m gonna confront him myself!!”
“Stop it Jay!! Don’t you really get what’s going on? I’m trying to stay away from you!”
“And why would you do that!!”
“You got hurt!! I might not be lucky next time Jayden…I …I don’t want this repeating itself” She said breathing heavily.
“Füçk!”Jay sighs deeply also digging his fingers into his hair.
“I understand you but…” He stepped closer holding both her shoulders firmly.
“You don’t have to do this Kim. I…I can protect you”
“No Jay…I can protect myself and I will”
“Kim…”
“Can you please…just do as I said for once?” He brought his hands to her face now cupping it.
“Listen to me Kim”
“The stalker is after me Jayden…we can’t continue being together like this. Doing as I want…is also protecting me on its own so please Jay…I don’t want any of us getting hurt now…just stay away from me from now now…cause I’ll do the same” She said determined.
“You’ve made up your mind haven’t you?” He asked and she slowly nodded.
“Füçk this!” He spat leaving her and heading for the door.
“Jayden?” Her voice stops him and he looks back at her.
“Happy birthday” She says but he only gave her that disappointed look before slamming the door shut on her face.
Kim staggered back and sat on one of the chairs fisting her palms on her laps.
