Chapter 25: The Stranger/s
English class...
Boring. Boring. Boring. Ugh! Nothing seems to be all exciting and everything for some reason. I stared at the leaves fall out of the branch just outside the window. The slow tick-tocking sound of the clock made it seem like the class is taking forever to finish. To my surprise, it's gonna be my first time 'sleeping' in class when Mr. Bannister decided to have a spelling recitation.
''Are you serious, old man?'' I mumbled. As I was about to drift into an eternal slumber, the words caught me wide eyed.
''Spell Stupid,'' (Mr. Bannister)
''S-T-U-P-I-D,'' (Students)
''Spell Idiot,'' (Mr. Bannister)
''I-D-I-O-T,'' (Students)
''Spell Moron,'' (Mr. Bannister)
''M-O-R-O-N,'' (Students)
''WRONG!!!" I shouted with disbelief. Rising up from my seat or in other words, rising from my deep slumber like Sleeping Beauty, I told them that their spellings are wrong, as in everything. Mr. Bannister had his confused look on his face, the other students following his example. He told me that the spellings are all right but as for me, it's all wrong.
After having a huge debate about the spellings, he slammed his fists on top of the table, breaking it again because the small cracks before (at chapter 3) grew much more larger now. ''IF YOU KNOW THE RIGHT SPELLING THEN GO TELL THEM!!!" Oh sure old man, I'm very glad to help them in their spelling and vocabulary.
''The right spelling of 'Idiot' is R-A-N-D-Y. The right spelling for 'Moron' is T-H-E-R-E-S-A. And lastly, the right spelling of 'Stupid' is B-A-N-N-I-S-T-E-R,'' The class went wild all over the classroom. Mr. Bannister somehow decided to ask me 'calmly' on how on earth is he stupid when I told him it's because of how stupid of he to teach the class the wrong thing. The next we all know, the bell rang...
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Just walking on the pavement, staring happily at the sky. Nomo is on his field trip and they're going camping for 3 days. So 3 days of loneliness in the house, now that's just great. I'm pretty sure Haize is gonna come for an early visit since I'm the only one in the house. The ninja said to me that he's a bit in the 'beast mode' for some reason that I don't know and that we should move the session in another day. So it's just me and Haize today when I bumped into someone, making the papers the person is holding fly up and scatter all over the ground.
''Oh meh gawsh, oh meh gawsh, oh meh gawsh! I'm sooooo sorry,'' I blurted out. ''Let me help you,'' A minute haven't passed yet but wow, I caught them all. From it flying away and rolling on the floor. I straightened the papers as I gave it back to their rightful owner. The guy has the color of my hair and he's wearing a blue polo, brown pants, and normal black shoes. He must be a working guy already.
The guy held the papers in front of him and placed it inside his folder but I can see that he's looking at an apartment window as I saw another piece of paper stuck beneath it. The window is below a somewhat tiny market that sells fruits but also 2 windows/floors/rooms above. I told him that I can get that since the ninja have been training for days already. He was about to tell me it's OK but I was off.
I ran to one of the 4 poles that attached the cloth-like roof of the tiny market and gripped on it tightly. I jumped to it's roof all upside-down and bounce myself to the first floor. Hanging myself, I flipped over and balanced on the tiny space near it's window as I jumped once again and reached for the other one, flipping again. My hands reached for the paper and voilà, I got it. My head turn for the guy and I was greeted by loud applauses.
Many people have watched my crazy doing and from the crowd, I manage to see the McFist family. I let myself fall to the 'cloth roof' and back flip to the guy which was mission accomplish. Before I even have a chance to give it to him, McFist pulled my hand with great force. ''How did you manage to do that girl?'' He asked with a creepy grin just like Cheshire's in Alice in Wonderland. I can't just tell him that the ninja trained me cuz yah, he told me to not tell anyone.
The atmosphere is filled with silence, except for the crickets nearby. To break this awkward situation, I just told him that I was into gymnastics when I was a kid and that until now, I can still remember the things on how to do it. Man he fell for it. Well the good thing is that the crowd disappeared along with that family, leaving me and the guy. Before I even give the paper back to him again, I took a glance on it and saw a good drawing of a car with it's cool structures and design. ''So you're into cars huh?''
He took the paper on my hand and nodded. ''I'm (y/n) by the way, what's your name?''
''Names Axel,''
''Last name?''
''Sorry, I can't tell my last name to strangers,'' His reply made me 'oh' in response but he does have a point tho...
Since I got to give his paper back from up a building, he decided to take me home using his car that is parked just a tiny distance to where we are standing right now. His car is so unique, it's the first time I saw this bronze Ferrari from all the cars I saw everyday on the road. Unlike other Ferraris, this has new structures. ''You like the car that I built?'' He built this?!
''All I gotta say is wow,'' he chuckled under his breath. He opened the door for me as I went inside and again, waw. As he went into the driver's seat, he asked for my house address which I said it. I decided to be all weird and all since I want to know if he'll get annoyed at me and kick me off of his car or join me in my craziness. ''Hey Axel!'' He hummed in response. ''What do you call a guy who's into building cars?''
''Mechanical engineers,''
''Wrong, they're call CAR-penters, get it?'' I looked at his reflection on the glass and he rolled his eyes and laughed sarcastically in a little bit of a friendly way. Soon enough, our road trip became a cheesy and corny one because of how many 'jokes' we had up our sleeves. But every beginning has to end right? Cuz now, we have reached my house. As we said our goodbyes, the car drove away and I saw Haize staring from my bedroom window...
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
''You do know that I have a fear of going to cemeteries right?''
''How so?'' Haize asked, setting her lantern on top of my study table. She has been telling me to visit my family's grave for I don't know, hours? But I kept on denying her request. Loads of memories about me when I was 7 years old and it's my first time going to the cemetery flooded my mind, the time when I started to run away from that horrible place...
''That's because I saw a man dress in a black cloak with a scepter (still remember chapter 15?), I had another vision of him a few weeks ago so I guess he's also haunting me too...''
Flashback...
''Are you ready to see your family (y/n)?'' Amara asked with a smile. I nodded and gave her the biggest smile I could give to anyone. We're already inside the cemetery she kept on telling me where dead people go. She pointed to where my family's grave and she told me to walk a little bit slower but to my excitement of seeing them again, I ran to that direction. Let's say that while I was running, I kept turning my head to see if that's my family's name but I didn't see a single one of them...but it doesn't mean I have to give up now, right?
To the fact that I'm not looking to where I was running, I accidentally trip over. My face hit the pavement as I tried to push myself up. A shadow hover the light as I saw a black cloth on the ground. My head moved up as I saw a...GHOST!!! I instantly stood up and was about to make a run for it when the ghost tugged my shirt from my back.
''Your world will be a walking nightmare, following you, slowly killing you, until you perish...'' Soon, the man let go as I run passed Amara. She followed me and grasped on my wrist once we're already back at the entrance. ''What happened?''
''A man scared me and I even didn't got a chance to meet my family,'' I responded between sobs. She put her hand on my shoulder and kneeled to my small size. ''I never want to visit this place again,'' she just nodded and sighed...in relief? With a very tiny smile on her face?...
*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+

And also, who was that cloaked man? Well, stay tuned for the next chapter.
