Two

It a new day, and I was going to do my very best to live the life I have because I was given a second chance to live. As I park my car at the parking space near the school, I could see almost everyone was leaving their lives like the incident had never happen. As I step out of the car, I could hear them whispering, pointing at me. I ignore them and just walk. Luckily, Jason came to the rescue, he put his arm around my shoulders and we walk together like before.
Jason was the perfect guy that every girl in the school would want to have as a boyfriend, his cute, smart and athletic. Sometimes, I wouldn’t consider myself as a lucky girl, because if I am lucky, I wouldn’t have Rachel and her gang hating me. Every school there is a perfect guy, and there is always the bitch. Well, she’s the bitch. She hated me for having a relationship with Jason. She kept bragging about how I ‘snatched’ her boyfriend. And I could bet that she would be using this as an opportunity to humiliate me. She always tried but had always failed because I will always be able to turn it around and she would become the one being humiliated.
Well, speaking of the witch. There she was walking towards me in her new black dress and her flats. Jason was all ready to tell her to get away but I shook my head at him. I was going to deal with her myself.
‘Wow, are you okay, Alice? Of cause not, you must be devastated, since you were the only one which survived. Wait! You were the only one which survived? I thought you were the one which demanded them to join you to watch the sunrise with you. You should die! If you died, I bet half the school would be so glad.’ She said.
I felt Jason hand clenched into a fist. Immediately, I switch off the nice me and on the bitchy me. ‘Hey, you know what? If you were in that car crash, I bet the ambulance wouldn’t even want to save you, since you’re such a bitch.’ I said. I could hear the crowd gave me a ‘wow’ and I took it as a compliment.
I could also see Rachel was shock to see me reacting. She must have thought I would just ignore her which I would definitely not. So she tried to rub it in. ‘Well, I was not in the car crash. And I think you’re some kind of curse, voodoo thing, maybe a devil was in you. You must have so much bad luck that you get them into a car crash.’ She said proudly like she had won but she wouldn’t have guessed that I just laughed at her.
‘Wow, since when do you believe in this stuff? Oh! You’re afraid that I would bring bad luck? Then, you better back off, because you might die in another car crash or accident. Better yet, be a nun and prey to Jesus and leave the dead alone!’ There I seal it. She was speechless and everyone was thinking that she was some kind of loser. But I sounded so much like a bitch I felt like smacking myself in the face.
‘That was cool.’ Jason said. ‘The way you girls deal with things, was …… wow! I thought you guys were going to have a cat fight but…… wow! You amaze me once again, Alice Sharova.’ He added.
Before I could say another would I was interrupted. ‘Yes, it was.’ There he is a tall guy with black hair and beautiful green eyes which perfectly match with his beautiful fair skin. Boy, I could bet that the other girls will go crazy just looking into his green eyes. It was only three words and I knew he was a Russian. He had that typical Russian accent that was pretty hard to miss. ‘Pasha Zeklov.’ He shook Jason’s hand. Jason shook back.
‘Jason Davis and this is Alice Sharova.’ He pointed.
‘Wow, you’re a Russian too.’ Before I could say another word he continued his conversation with me in Russian which I do not understand.
‘I am sorry, but I have no idea what you’ve just said. I mean I am a Russian but I migrated here when I was very young.’ I interrupted.
‘Oh, my apologies, I was just saying ……’ He kneels down on one knee and held my hand and gave a kiss. ‘What a beautiful women you were.’ He said.
I knew Jason must be restraining himself from punching Pasha. To avoid that, I quickly gave some lame excuse about how late we were for our chemistry class. Quickly, I pulled Jason away.
‘You shouldn’t have pulled me away!’ Jason said with anger.
‘I obviously should have! Unless you want Rachel to still think I was some kind of bad luck blonde that cause you guys to fight, go, please.’
He realizes I was right and calm down immediately. ‘You’re right. I need to calm down. It isn’t worth it.’ And the day continued like nothing had happen.
It was already night, like always I would wait outside in my mother’s garden at that swing, waiting for Jason to sneak in. Is a full moon, I could hear the owls’ sings and the crickets create its own melody. It was a beautiful night, before the incident, I would always be excited during the night like this. Where I would wait for Jason to come behind me and hug me, but tonight all I wanted was the arms that surround me with warmth and electrifying touch. There was a spark in me that I really wanted to kiss him and brush my fingers into his beautiful brown hair. I wanted him to look into my eyes and tell me how much he loves me. Yet, I felt so much guilt in my heart as I was here waiting for Jason but I am thinking of another man. I shook my head and look up where there were plenty of stars to count to waste my time.
For an hour, I waited, yet, Jason was nowhere to be found. Finally, I became frustrated and wanted to call him. His phone rang yet no one had picked up. I felt a sudden urge of fear and worries. Normally, if he couldn’t come he would text me but there was neither texting nor calling. I shook my head and hit myself for being paranoia and walk into my room. But one thing for sure, Jason would definitely get it from me tomorrow morning.
There I was, alone, walking at the school walk path alone, missing where Jason would put his arm over my shoulders and laugh over some stupid joke. I was alone without Jason, he wouldn’t pick up my call and wouldn’t even text me. Is he avoiding me? Has the incident yesterday affected him?
But that was not the worst of the day yet, everyone stared at me like I was a truly bad luck charm, none of them wanted to be near me accept for Karolina. There I knew the only person which I could ask for information is the one I hate most, Rachel. As I walked towards her, my mind was battling myself from even walking towards her. Every time I see her, I felt like choking her to death. But I needed to know what’s with everybody.
‘Rachel, where’s Jason?’ I asked. I didn’t want to start with ‘Hey bitch, what’s with everybody?’ That was a definite no way. She just looked at me and laughed. I hated that, right now, I was restrain myself from punching her in the face.
‘How am I supposed to know? You’re his girlfriend! His mother said he didn’t go home. Oh! My God! His missing! Hah! I knew you were no good!’ She said.
If I had a knife right now, I would stab it in her. Oh! It would be a pleasure! But that isn’t the problem right now. Jason is missing! That explain how he didn’t come to the garden. But I wouldn’t let Rachel get to me as well. I wanted to wait a little longer, just to be sure. Jason loves giving me surprise, his probably hidden somewhere to get some surprise present ready for me. Yes, that must be it.
I walked away, ignoring what Rachel had babbled about because I didn’t hear it. Slowly, I approach my locker and opened it, there it was a letter. I opened it and gave a sigh of relief.
‘Will be out of town for a while, see you soon.
Jason’
I was relief for that brief moment and realize that that wasn’t Jason’s writing. Yes, he was smart but his writing was always horrible, normally I could barely understand what he wrote. I slam the locker door shut, and found Pasha leaning against the locker beside mine. I flinched. He just looked at me and smiled
‘Where’s your boyfriend?’ He asked. His voice wasn’t like he was questioning it. It was like he knew where he was and asking the obvious. But he couldn’t have, even I did not know. I look at him and he smirk at me.
‘You know where he is?’ I asked. Oh! I hated not knowing what was going on. It was like I was a complete blur.
‘Well, I don’t remember. If you kiss me maybe I would remember.’ He said. That does it, he was playing me. No way would he have known where Jason was. I rolled my eyes and walk away. ‘Ya znayu!’ He shouted. At least that was what I heard. I had no idea what it meant. I turn around and look at him and assume he was telling me the place where Jason is. ‘Is Russian for I know’ He said.
‘Alright, tell me then.’ I said.
‘Like I said, you would have to……’ He pointed at his lips, which kind of make me wander what would happen if I slapped him in front of everyone.
‘Over my dead body!’ I shouted.
‘Well, is your lost.’ He tossed something into my locker hole and walk away.
I walked towards my own locker, suspiciously, I opened it. There it was a photo of a forest. I picked it up suspiciously; trying to find out what does this had to do with Jason. Suddenly, a huge force strike through me, I could see blood all over the place, on the trees there were scratches and blood, piles of body and…… oh! My God! Jason! I shuddered as I saw his face was covered with blood, his beautiful deep blue eyes was covered all in black. Not even a single part of his eyes was white. It was as dark as the night. I could see blood all over his shirt and he had fangs.
Suddenly, everything came back to where I was. I could hear myself breathing so loudly and I could feel the cold sweat flow down my forehead to my neck. I lean against the lockers which had made a loud banging noise but no one was at the hallway already. There were all in their classes accept me. I had to get some air, this was too absurd! What I saw Jason was, was a vampire! A vampire, that only existed in myth and legend and stupid stories. I ran out of the school and straight into my car. I could see my hands shaking, and I felt so cold. Hastily, I took my keys and started the engine. All I could hear was sound of engine roaring, I hit the accelerator like it was nothing and my car when so fast, I could barely see any trees that I’ve pass through.
Out of nowhere I could see a man with black coat which look a lot like Pasha stood in the middle of the road. I slammed on the break so hard that I could hear my car made the squeaking sound. But I manage to stop the car just before I slammed onto him. It was Pasha, and he did not even move or shown any sign of fear at all. Unlike me, I was already shaking. I got out of the car and gaze at him angrily.
‘Are you trying to get yourself killed?!’ I asked.
‘Nope, so I guess you saw him.’ He said. I didn’t answer him. ‘I could bring you to him but he really doesn’t want to see you.’
‘What do you mean?! I am his girlfriend!’ I said.
‘Oh! Really, you think so? So you think you truly love him.’ He said.
‘Yes!’ I replied. Lying a voice in my heart said.
‘You know you could lie to everyone but you can’t hide the truth from me.’ He said. ‘I’ve known you long enough. You wouldn’t fall for the likes of him.’ He added.
‘I’ve just met you! Whatever you’re saying is a serious bullshit!’
‘Well, let me prove it to you. You want to meet Jason, I’ll bring you to him.’
