Laura gently tucked a lock of hair behind her ear as she leaned towards the phone. She tried to pick it up but her hand just passed through it. She sighed.
"You can do this, Laura– " She mumbled and blew her cheeks as she took in a deep breath to keep her, calm and relaxed."Let's try again" She leaned forward with furrowed brow as she flicked her hand in reach of it but it just wasn't working out. "Argh !" She grumbled, as she aggressively run her hands through her hair in frustration. "This is so annoying! " She roared. "I'm literary going crazy now, gosh! – Why can't I just get this simple thing, done,huh? "She kept whinnying while she laid face up on the bed. Just then, Mya hastily sauntered out of the washroom which made her sat up on noticing her."Why are you so much in a rush, Mya?" Laura queried as if she could hear her speak. "Are you going somewhere?" She added as she paced after Mya who was busily getting ready. Her eyes instinctively fle"Hey, why are you ignoring my gaze" Alixies stuttered, bugging him either side he turned but he just kept mute. After realizing Alixies wasn't gonna give up anytime soon he gave in, turning to face her fixed gaze on him.She giggled with a puppy face. "Please– just this once" She pleaded. Rubin instinctively let out an inaudible sigh."Sorry, Alixi, you can't talk to her now"He announced and Alixies' face dropped. "Why?– Just for a brief moment, I won't bother you afterwards. " She cried."I mean she's not here, Alixi– I just can't find her anywhere" Rubin mumbled with a nervous gaze."What do you mean by that, Rubin?" She stuttered. "Thought you said she's always being with you?""Yes, I know I did but I don't know what happened– She just disappeared from the room since yesterday and I can't find her anywhere" He wrung his hands with a furrowed brow. "I'm basically restless now; I don't know what to do now– What do you th
After an hour of what seemed like an endless epilogue to Ben, the long awaited bell went off for lunch break.Mrs Stella announced their project date and end of research tour. The whole class instinctively roared with applause and chit chats, among others except Ben and his friends; who just felt exhausted by her presence. She smiled and went on." I already see your exuberance towards this– Let's get prepared. See you all in two weeks for the tour""Okay, Mrs Stella!! " They answered amidst cheers. She tilted her head with smiles and turned to leave." Alixies and Lawrence, I believe you know your duty as class Presidents? " She stated."Yes, Mrs Stella " They answered and she bobbed her head with a smile."Alright, kindly present the details of each student towards the tour to me at the office before lunch break is over–Okay?"They nodded and she stride out. Alixies rolled her eyes with a groan, burying her head on
Rubin fidgeted, his lips instinctively curved in a sheepish smile while he stole glances at Laura whose eyes were darted and slightly biting on her lips– lost for words."What were you thinking?" She mumbled in a near whisper as if Mya could hear her; Rubin gesticulated with creased brow.Mya gazed at him, edge on with a raised eyebrow."What are you doing?" She queried, sounding a bit skeptical.Rubin muttered as if to say something but nothing came in mind. "Um–" He fumbled while his mind haunted for an escape. Just then, Laura noticed Alixies in the distance; heading towards the Canteen."Alixies!" She shouted which instinctively drew Rubin's attention to her direction."Excuse me, I've got to go" He hastily uttered, dragging Laura along; which in Mya's eyes was just an air. She stared at his back in outer surprise; her jaw slightly dropped."What's with him?" She thought. "So strange " She eluded with a shrug and
Unknowingly for Mya, Mr. Hansel saw her from the distance as she approached the control room. He sneered. "You're biting more than you can chew, Mya Roberts" He cautioned with a roguish glare.Laura at the other hand, thought of how to stop Mya as well so not to get her at risk. Just then, it dawned on her. “Oh, no, Mya !” She howled with a flashed gaze which made Rubin and Alixies, flinch.“What's with her now?” Alixies queried, expectantly.“She's headed to the control room at the moment– She's going for the footage of that day” She explained and Alixies gasped. Rubin stared at them with a furrowed brow, confused at their expression.“What's wrong with that, Laura?– That will even make it easy for us to get that justice we want” He stated which brought the roguish frown of the girls on him.“You seem not to get anything, Rubin” Alixi exclaimed. “That place was declare
Ferdinand shuffled his way through to the administration block without knowledge of his stalkers. They instinctively hid about a meter away from him as he neared Mrs. Pearl's office."What do we do, now?– He's going to Mrs Pearl's office" Alixies howled. "He'll definitely find out it was a prank to get him out of there."Laura scoffed. "Not when I'm here" She mumbled which made Rubin glance back at her. "I got this! "Before he could say anything, she disappeared."For God sake, Rubin– Don't just stare blankly into space. Ask Laura what we should do before it's too late! " She exclaimed.He instinctively spread out his hands, tilting his head in the process with a shrug."She's not here– Don't know where she left off to" He stated. Alixies instinctively roared with a creased brow, rolling her eyes."Gosh, why is she always like this?" She fidgeted. "Come on, let's go– We need to find a way out."
HANSEL'S OFFICEMr Hansel sauntered in with Delia behind. He trod over to his seat, facing her in the process."Here, have a seat" He offered with a stretched hand, pointing to a seat over his desk. She titled her head with a smile."Well–Thanks." She mumbled as she settled down."So, what brought you here after that long while."Without a word, Delia pulled out a file from her bag– a faint smile dazzled on her face as she tilted her head, tucking a lock of hair behind her hair. She placed it on the desk and gently pushed it over to him. He spontaneously glanced down at it and back at her with furrowed brow."What's this about? " He asked and she gesticulated in response."Go ahead– Hansel" She mumbled, leaning back on the chair. Not hesitating, he picked the file and flipped it open; his eyes swiftly scanned through."This is the documents concerning Ben's custo
He instinctively jerked to his feet with a roguish glare which made her inch back."Get that out of my sight !" He yelled, hitting her hand off in the process which made her fall to the ground. "Who are you to meddle in my business " He snapped. Rubin who was then, passing by noticed what was going on."Isn't that Alixies?" He queried at Laura whose gaze was fixed ahead as she kept ranting on her words. Rubin stared at their direction with furrowed brow."Where?" Laura asked, her eyes travelled after his gaze. She instinctively snapped with squinted eyes; her jaw clenched as she jutted her chin, just when she noticed them."That bastard" She roared. " How dare him touch her–i'm so gonna kill him this time around." She spontaneously sped their direction."Hey, let me handle–" Rubin stuttered but before he could finish his words, she had distanced a few steps ahead of him. "Gosh " He cried, slapping his forehead in frustration. "And the
Hansel stared into space with a blank gaze while he faint into his seat after Delia had left. A gloomy, roguish wrath lingered in his eyes–a sudden silence engulfed him inside out as his mind travelled back to his children, Marvin and Ben. He would go any length to make sure they were happy but Marvin's decision on his dream for him wasn't just an easy one for him to accept without his stubborn objection ; little did he know that– that was going to be his son's death trap.The thought of loosing Ben as well to Delia wasn't sinking down so well for him. The alarm bells in his head kept sounding."No, can't let her take my son away– I must stop her no matter what." On an impulse, he grabbed his phone from the desk and dialed an unknown contact. He leaned back in the chair as the line kept ringing."Hello, boss" a hoarse voice answered from the receiver's end." Foil, I got a job for you– I want you to get rid of Delia" He emphasized."D
