A Beauty In Nerd Disguise

Chapter 8

Ken decided that he was going to walk me to my next class. I felt like eyes were on me. I think someone is watching my every move but I ignored it thinking it was my imagination. It's pretty natural to think so right?

"Thanks, Ken." I said, before walking into my class.

Time to study Vi, I tell myself as I sit down on my chair. The teacher enters and starts teaching us.

Then, there is a loud bang at the door that echoed through the building. I chose to ignore it thinking it is just another prank from the delinquent that been seeking for attention. But I thought wrong. I feel presence walking then stopping beside to me, I look up and notice that delinquent is next to me, smirking like usual then I immediately scowl.

I ignore him again but he shocked me by grabbing my hand, before ripping me out from my desk painfully. Why the hell is people into dragging me all of a sudden?. I stared at him wide eyes.

"Mr. Grayson, why are you disturbing my class? You are not in this class. Let go of her now." The teacher breathes out with gritted teeth trying to snap some sense to Alexander.

"Whatever," Alexander replies coolly, before walking out with me, or on a much more appropriate note, saying he dragged me by forced with him.

I feel like smacking him on the head but decide against it, it will only cause me more trouble. So I opted for the second choice and that is to just keep quiet.

He drags me through the hall and out the front doors of the building. He then pulls me towards the car park and in front of a really expensive sports car.

"Get in." He demands.

"Excuse me, why do I need to?" I question back, with my voice full of venom.

"Did you not hear me or do I have to force you?" He says, looking straight at me.

Without saying much I slip into the car.

The sleek black interior is shining and the car is spotless. The ride is silent but not an awkward silence. He drove down a road that I don't recognize. I just lean towards the window not trying to break the silence.

Why can't I be water, it's so peaceful and less dramatic. Water, what the hell am I thinking. Snap out of it.

"Where are we going?" I asked breaking the silence then regret it as he doesn't reply so I just let it pass.

"Okay, I guess you're going to kill me in a place where no one can find me, then throw my body away without leaving any evidence, then wait for a boar to eat me. But I hope you will use a clean knife." I ramble with no emotion.

"Your imagination is too high." He chuckles and I scowl. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you." He states.

The silence comes back. Hey welcome back silence, I missed you but why did you come back so early? I thought you were on a vacation. I guess I was wrong.

He parks near a charming lake that I thought only exist on the fantasy. It's a kind of lake that you wish could be your wedding background. He opens my door and stuck out a hand for me to grab onto.

"My my, what a charming gentleman." I mock at him then put my hand on him. He glares at me a little but the smirk still stuck on his face.

"We don't want you to trip and fall, do we?" He replies sarcastically.

"Shut up. Why did you bring me here?" I asked, changing the subject.

"It's my favorite place, it holds a lot of memories of Lexi and me." He tells me.

"So?" I asked looking at the view in front of me with amazement.

"Look, Lexi wants to be your friend and she begged me to talk to you. She has never asked me for a favor before so being the good brother I am I will help her. " He said looking at me.

"So you want me to become friends with your sister?" I asked.

"Hana-Chan, can you just give my sister a chance? she is a good girl you know."

"I can if you take back that bet you made on me. I am not a toy." I blurt out but then wish I could take it back instantly seeing his shocked frame.

"What bet are you talking about?" He denies hesitantly looking anywhere but me.

"You don't need to play dumb, I know about it okay." I rolled my eyes at him clearly annoyed.

A few minutes have passed, not once have we talked.

"I don't know where you heard it from but if you become my sister's friend, I will consider it." He says, breaking the silence.

"Okay, I will become her friend." I accept without thinking.

A few hours pass by with him telling me about Lexi and him. He shows me how much he adores and loves his sister a lot.

I get a little bit jealous. I wish my brother was here. After the sun is slowly going down, he drives me home. I exit his car then without even saying goodbye I walk into my house. I entered the house with a sigh.

I saw the light in my mothers room on from under the door. I slowly open the door. I see her making out with a guy on her bed. I quickly close her door, without a sound.

I walk to my room. I don't cry, I refuse to. Why do I have to live like this, what did I do to live in this nightmare. I quickly walk to by bathroom and have a quick shower, before climbing into bed and taking my sleeping pill.

I fall asleep quickly.

"You can run but you cant hide Violet darling. I told you not to go out from your house, if you had listened to me then this would have not happened." Someone says.

All I can see is a pool of blood. All around me full of the color of red. I can hear my mother's crying and shouting that it is all my fault over and over again.

I don't cry or do anything. I just stand there emotionless.

I wake up screaming on the top of my lungs, covered in sweat. I look at my clock next to my bed and it shown 02:00 am. I sigh.

Its the same nightmare again. I lay back down and try to go back to sleep again but darkness isn't taking over so I lay here and space out.
