I could have ran further, maybe ran home but my tears were so heavy and uncontrollable, I didn't want anything bad to happen again so I just sat down there reminiscing on my life.I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned swiftly to know who it was, "Bethel." I crooked, she gave me a pale look and sat next to me.I turned my face away and gaze at the setting sun, for the first time I felt relaxed. I should give my body some peace too, right? The cool evening breeze swept my hair backwards, making strands fall into my mouth."The evening is so cool." Bethel cooed and I stared at nothingness."Yeah. And so beautiful." I muttered slowly. She put her hand around my shoulders, turning my head to look at her in the process."You're beautiful.." she whispered and I just looked at her, "you're the strongest girl I've ever known, you're courageous and vibrant-" I didn't know when a tear slipped down my eye. She cleaned it with

Chapter 22Seconds, minutes or hours passed, I don’t really know but it just felt like I had been paralyzed by a strong force holding me rigid for eternity. My head tightened in vice-like grip, the only thing moving were my fingers against my phone. It was trembling beyond control. Tossing my phone across my room which luckily landed on my table rug, I collapsed on the bed. Different thoughts, all the fears and anxiety were niggling at me but I fought to push them away. I smuggled and curled up on the bed, my fingers shoved into my hair, I kept whispering to myself “No! No! No! No!” I don’t want to think about who’ll die next. Right now I want a genie to appear here and grant me just one wish. “I wish everything, all these is just a horrible dream and when I wake up everything will be over.

My lips where wobbling trying to mutter words that never came out, tears blinded my vision and I wish I could just die.Shouts and screams rented my ears, the air was already corrupt and some angry students where busy laying curses on me, whilst others where accusing me of murder.Well, if it's not murder then it's what?"It was an ancident."

Chapter 24If I say the latest happenings weren't drifting life out of me I would be a terrible liar, I am bent under my reading table crying my eyes out.I miss him, I miss him so much that I can't find any sleep. At some point Xavier was there for me, he was the only one by my side. He walked dude by side with me when Royce died, from the police station to the court.Was it love, comfort, belonging? He was more than that to me and I feel so horrible he had to die in my hands. Why him? I thought the game kills people that I love, or is it because of the soft spot I was garnering for him that he died next.Fuck! What am I saying? I can't deny the fact that I like Xavier but it's just that out of all my friends he's the one I like less. I snuggle my pillow to my chest and take a deep sigh, hugging my knees.I remained in that position that I didn't know when I slept off.*"Clary food is ready!" I heard Dad's voice from the bathroom. Last night I slept in a very uncomfortable position

Chapter 1Sitting at my study desk, my hand moved rhythmically with the dancing pen on my notebook scrambling numbers against numbers. Calculus can be a very interesting topic but it gets tiring to some extent especially when it’s been given to you as an assignment. I’ve been on this assignment for close to 2 hours now which has caused the muscles in my forearms to spasm. With my eyes heavy, I decided to take a break. I left the books opened on the desk as I went to grasp my phone from the dresser. I laid down on my bed with my back leaning my head against the pillow then I turned on my connection as I came online. I shuffled through Facebook viewing posts and comments. None of my friends are online so what do you expect me to do? I was now engrossed in my phone until a text popped into my phone. It was from some random user who of course I don’t. Curious to see what he or she sent? I clicked on the message. ‘Hi’ came the brief greeting. I’m not the type who usually talks wi
Can you keep a secret Rumors
Chapter 2The rumor of the game is now spreading more than ever before. Like everywhere I go to, the grocery mall and even in the school, I rarely talk without hinting on the dumbass game. I wonder how people could be this clueless, primitive and naive. I mean there are lot of signs there to prove the game false still they decide to neglect their own life to be slaves to rumors. Right now I'm at the school cafe with my best friend bethel. I’ve been rambling about a classic I just read, telling her what I love about the book ‘fences’, an American themed book. I told her what I hate and how I felt about Troll's death, which in my opinion wasn’t supposed to die. While I was busy talking, she kept nodding and mouthing an 'Uh yeah’ oh’ absently mindedly and I almost narrated the entire book before I realized she wasn’t even paying attention instead she was busy operating her phone, deeply engrossed in whatever she was doing. “Bethel...” I snapped at her, making her flinch and her phone
