Zayden's murderous eyes did not not leave Alandria for a while. Alandria, on her part, knew that she was dead...or she would be in a few minutes. Zayden had his teeth gritted and his head tilted to one side.

*He must be planning my death...* Alandria thought as she started backing off, *Why do you always have to screw things up Alandria! Why couldn't you just swallow your pride and...anger like always?*

"Good morning!" a cheerful voice resounded suddenly and everybody in the class turned their heads towards the source of the voice.

It was Mrs. Linda, their Economics teacher.

With one last look at Alandria, who was completely petrified with fear, the angry young man walked towards the seat behind Alandria.

Alandria picked up her broken glasses and the things that fell on the ground and put her table properly in its place. Mrs Linda watched her before going back to the usual 'So we had homework! Who didn't do the homework?' All the students dispersed themselves in the class to have a look at their homework which they did...or did not do.

Throughout the whole class Alandria felt that Zayden was eyeing her carefully. She could sense his rage and she also felt that if he could talk to her he would probably tell her that today was the last day of her life.  Her body started turning cold and her hands started shaking a little.

*Calm down! Calm down! Focus on your lesson!* she kept telling herself.

"Ma'am" 

Someone called suddenly.

"Yes, Connors?" Mrs. Linda said, her head looking in Zayden's direction.

"I'd like to go to the bathroom please."

"Very well" Mrs. Linda nodded.

Zayden left and Alandria's eyes followed him until he disappeared.

"Good riddance..." she whispered, "Please go to the bathroom and flush yourself or something....oh no...what I'm I thinking...well go to the bathroom and forget about that incident when you come back...oh but that will mean he has dementia...ughh...I'll just say sorry to him...so that he does not finish me off."

For the moment, that seemed to be the best plan; asking for forgiveness....lowering the self esteem...she had to do it...to save her life.

A few minutes later Zayden came back and went back to his seat. The bell rang and the teacher left, but not without giving them all homework.

Alandria thought that she would talk to him after their Economics class but immediately after that their English class began and the teacher arrived as soon as Mrs. Linda left. After that they had 2 classes of Spanish and finally it was break time! As soon as the bell rang, Alandria waited for the teacher to depart and turned around. Zayden was facing her. Now was the time to end this enmity. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Why should she apologize? He broke her glasses first! He should apologize!

Zayden kept looking her her, waiting for her to speak.

"You owe me a pair of...." Alandria began while her body shook, but someone entered the class.

"Good afternoon children!" a man with a big mustache said as he came in front of them.

It was the principal.

"Well I am sorry to take your break time, but as you know Mr. Holigan is retiring today and we are preparing a party for him tomorrow morning! As you're all grown ups I was wondering if I could take your help..."

All the children groaned and made dismissive comments. Mr. Holigan was their Physics teacher. He was 60, but he looked 80. He was not a hooligan, but a nice man.

"This might take more than your lunch break time and you might miss some classes..."

At this, everybody lifted their hands up to offer their help.

"Thank you...how nice of you" the principal said as he rolled his eyes, "Alright then! Boys follow me, girls, you will find Mrs.Alisha outside, please go to her and she will tell you what to do."

Everybody did as they were told and once again Alandria did not manage to confront Zayden...which was partly a good thing, she thought.

The final bell rang and it was time to go home. Alandria was tired of putting all the decorations up on the wall and so were the other girls. Her arms ached like hell! Plus she was dying to go to the bathroom.

As all the students left the school compound and the school gradually emptied itself, Alandria made her way to the bathroom lazily. She passed by the changing room when she was returning. It was slightly open and Alandria did not pay any attention until someone grabbed her arm and pulled her inside violently.

She gasped in fear and the door shut itself.

The next moment the girl found herself in the small room with a dangerous looking Zayden in front of her.

*Oh no....he is going to take his revenge on me....*

"Zayden...." Alandria began as she felt something very uncomfortable in her throat and the tears welling up her eyes.

*Don't frigging panic you wazzock! Be brave!*

"So Alandria..." Zayden began in a playful tone which also held much menace.

He sounded like a psychopath.

"You thought you could slap me and get away with it?"

"What...I...Zayden..."

"Shhh...." he whispered as he came nearer.

His face was now only inches away from her. Alandria found his eyes more threatening that ever. His face looked tired, but everready for revenge. He looked different though... His expressions were different. It seemed like he was drunk or something, but he did not smell of alcohol. 

"Alandria...." he whispered and grabbed her waist.

"Get your filthy hands off me Zayden!" Alandria cried as the tears fell down her face.

"Hahaha..." he laughed in a melodious voice, before....

"HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME ORDERS YOU SCUM! YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD GET AWAY FROM ME? YOU BI...."

"Let go!" Alandria cried as she pushed him away with all her force.

Zayden lost balance and released her. Alandria immediately ran towards the door! There was no time to think! She put her hand towards the door knob but then she felt her ponytail being pulled and she was instantly drawn backwards. She lost balance and fell on the floor, hitting her head hard on the ground. That did hurt.

Zayden threw himself on top of her and Alandria's fears got the better of her. She was in a full state of panic now.

"Sick psychotic pervert! Let me go!"  she bellowed, "HELP! HELP!"

No one heard her. No one could hear her.

"Now Alandria..." Zayden began as he pinned her on the floor.

He put his lips next to her hers and Alandria kicked him in his balls.

"Fuck you!" he yelled in pain, but he did not let go.

Instead, he tightened his grip on her small arms.

He took a deep breath and stared back into her face.

"Let's play a game Alandria..."

Alandria had never felt so scared in her entire life! And to think she found him handsome! He was! Only on the outside! On the inside he was a monster! What was she going to do? What could she do? Her life was over! He would kill her!

"Zayden please....let me...go....I am sorry...please..." she begged as she sobbed.

"No....baby don't say that...our game has not started yet!" Zayden finished in a whisper, the strands of his sleek hairs falling on his forehead, some of them brushing against Alandria's face.

"Let me leave...please..."

"It's a multiple choice question game!" Zayden said as he tightened his grip on her hands, "I ask you a question and I give you five answers...then...then...you choose one answer! Ok love?"

"Let me go!" Alandria begged, her body shaking, but she knew that he would never do that.

Only a miracle could save her.

"So! The question is..." he began in a coarse voice, putting his lips next to her ear, "How do you want to end this afternoon?"

"What the..."

"Option A...I rip your eyeballs out with the knife I have in my pocket...option B...we have a nice little time in this room, you know what I mean, option C...I throw you out from the 5th floor, Option D you get a good beating from me, and of course, Option E...all of the above..."

"Where's option F?"

"What?" Zayden questioned.

Alandria finally had the courage to speak properly.

"Option F....none of the above..." Alandria said tentatively.

"Fuck you and your option F! I get to decide!" Zayden yelled and started laughing in a psychotic manner.

"Option F!" he laughed, "Where the hell did that come from! HAHAHAHA!"

"LET ME GO YOU PSYCHO!" Alandria shouted.

She had no idea she could yell so loudly.

"SHUT UP!" even Zayden's voice could not match hers!

"LET ME GO!" she bellowed.

She then saw the door open a little. This was her chance!
