Bloody Secrets - 4 Starting to Fall

ACE KIEN FIERA

I’ve been looking at her for an hour now. She is calmly sleeping under the shadow of this oak tree which grew behind the 1st building of the Academy. I just found out about this place when she pulled me out of the room to skip the next class and here, she is now, peacefully sleeping. Not minding if I will go back or not, she is cruel.

Then after, I saw her move her arms away from her eyes. She’s coldly looking at me now. Did I do something again? Did she hear what I just said? At that point, she suddenly stood up and walk towards me. She’s still looking at me with those pair of dark eyes.

“Let’s go eat.” She unexpectedly said and smiled. I don’t know how to respond so I just nod at her. Aviana started to walk and so I followed her.

When we were finally walking at the campus everyone started to stare at her. It’s been days now since she started sticking onto me or is it me that sticking onto her?

Well, let’s just never mind that, all I’m saying is that we’ve been together since the day she said I was hers and somehow, I don’t know why but I’m glad about her saying that. We finally passed through the gates of the Academy and the security guards didn’t mind us going out or in other words, it’s as if they know her already.

We proceeded at the parking lot and when we got there all of a sudden, she stopped walking. She’s looking at something so I looked at where her eyes were fixed. Then I saw a car thrown by paint and the windows of the car were shattered. I looked at her and she’s still calmly looking at her car then she looked at me after and smiled. She smiled despite knowing her car was ruined.

“Can I ride with you.” That’s just what she said.

“Sure,” I answered awkwardly and walk towards my car, she followed me. I got into my car and so did she. She’s not talking anymore.

This is one of the things that I noticed about her. She does not speak too much. She’s always serious, cold, and it’s as if she’s always thinking about something. I can’t describe her well yet since that I still don’t know her. However, when the time comes, I hope that we can become closer to this. I started the car and drove away from the academy.

“You sure about this place?” She asked looking at the restaurant that I chose. I don’t know where she wants to eat and I don’t still have the guts to talk to her. She’s scary when she looks at me coldly.

“You don’t like it here?” I asked and now she looked at me.

“No, it’s fine. I’m just…” She paused then averted her gaze.

“Worried.” She added and proceeds to walk inside the restaurant.

“What does she mean worried?” I whispered onto myself. I just followed her inside. A waiter assisted her with two-seat next to a window. She then sat down and so did I. The waiter gave as the menu but she stopped him from doing so.

“The usual.” She said and the waiter bow in return, then he looked at me.

“Oww,” I said startled. Is she a regular in this place? I took a glance at her but damn she’s looking at me coldly now.

“Sir?” The waiter then asked and that made me come back to my senses. I began to scan the menu on my hand.

“I’ll have a butter-basted rib-eye steak and can you please bring as a…” I stated then looked at her.

“Red wine.” She said.

“One butter-basted rib-eye steak for you sir, the usual for my lady, and a bottle of red wine.” He said and finally walked away from us. I looked around and noticed that people keep on staring at us. No, they were all looking at her. Some were even taking pictures. What are their problems? Do they know privacy?

“Don’t mind them.” She stated without looking at me, her gaze was fixed looking at the window as if she was looking at something. I again looked around me, I was about to look away but someone caught my attention even more. She was hiding her face though but I can tell that it is her. I stood up and was about to come near her when she stopped me from doing so.

“Where are you going?” She asked and looked at where I was looking before. She grinned after and let go of my wrist. She might have recognized her also.

“Go on.” She added and looked at the window beside her again. I proceeded to walk and sat down across her seat. She’s still hiding her face with that menu, so I snatched it, her eyes widened when she saw me finally sitting in front of her.

“What are you doing here?” I asked whispering, she smiled.

“Stalking.” She answered, however, she suddenly pulled my hand and bit it.

“Damn this brat. Are you a dog?” I asked angrily. I looked at my hand and it has her bite mark. This stupid brat! Thankfully she didn’t bite me deeply or this will surely bleed.

“Why are you with her?” She asked.

“Why?” I asked in return.

“Yeah! Why?” She answered rolling her eyes.

“None of your business now go home,” I said and was about to leave when she stopped me.

“You know that she is dangerous right? Ace every person that comes near her gets into trouble and I don’t want you to be in that situation.” She said worriedly. I just smiled in return and gently patted her hair then my hands moved to her face and pinched her chubby cheeks.

“Don’t worry… I will not be in trouble.” I said and finally stood up.

“Now go home,” I added, she was about to complain again but, in the end, she nods as an answer. I went back to my seat and just on time, the food was finally served on our table. I looked at Aviana and she’s still looking at the window.

What is she looking at? I looked at where she was looking and I saw Ava walking towards her car. I then noticed Aviana looking at me now and so I looked at her. Maybe she saw me looking at where she was looking at and maybe I shouldn’t have looked.

I started to eat and so did she. I observed her eating her Chicken Kyiv, it looks like this is her favorite dish since she said a while ago to the waiter, the usual. I smiled thinking about it. More and more I started to realize that Aviana is not that girl who they were talking about. Yeah, maybe she is dangerous but, she is just trying to save her own life. I know that she does not want trouble and does not want to harm other people. I know she’s just like other girls.

Realizing that, as time continues to pass by, when I am always with her my heart couldn’t stop pounding like crazy.
