CLARA'S POVI shoved my hair off my face with my swinted eyes as my vision was still bleary, my alarm had just woken me up. I couldn't even recall when and how I slept last night. I was still dozy but when I remembered I had to go to school, I sprinted to the bathroom. When I got out from the bathroom, My roommate was standing by the door waiting for me, she sprang in immediately, complaining about the fact that she had woken up late and was supposed to in the kitchen by this time. I walked to my bed, using my towel to clean my body gently. I had just applied my cream, about to wear my undies when Reneta came out from the bathroom hastily almost falling off. " What have you been doing girl? " She asked me already applying her cream. I became confused, I wanted to ask her what it seems like I was doing , but I restrained myself from asking. I had just put on my uniform, when Renata ran out of the room with her shoe in her left hand. I picked up my phone to check the time, it was 5:
I was running towards the bus-stop, already getting close. A black expensive car speedily drove past me like the owner was being chased. On getting to the bus-stop, there was not available bus there. I stood there stamping my feet, waiting impatiently for the next bus. Thirty minutes had gone, there was no sight of any bus, I was frustrated and cursed those security men for delaying me. " Finally!" I screamed at the sight of a bus which was still far away. People around were beginning to stare at me, while some where laughing. Immediately the bus there, I hurriedly force myself in, pushing anyone and anything blocking my way. When I was dropped at the school gate and there was sign of any student, the school compound was deserted. I started walking as fast as my leg could carry me, I didn't want to run so it wouldn't be so obvious that I had come late. When I got to the hall way, I increased my pace. I heaved a sign of relief when I saw my class. On getting to the class, I c
LEO'S POVMy legs were still crossed on the table, I was enjoying the quietness, I wished the whole school could be like this always. My eyes were closed as I thought about a lot of things. After few minutes, I heard footsteps that bugged me because they were so loud, I put down my leg which had been crossed on the table. Closing my eyes, I placed my hands on the table. All of a sudden, I couldn't hear the footstep again, it was quite suspicious and unusual, so I had to open my eyes to check it out, just incase I was being attacked. It was Jack, he stood like a tree, looking at me with fear, and to make matter worst, he was with the Clara girl again, I noticed he was holding her hands but when he saw me, he let go of her hand. Ever since she came to this school, Jack and I haven't spoken to each other. He was always avoiding me, even when I summoned for him the other time, he never came, I didn't bother to tell him anything. I expected them to move to another sit, pro
CLARA'S POVI was thankful as I walked back to the class. If they hadn't ring the bell, I would have lost to Leo. I entered the class and walking to my sit, I noticed Jack taking glances of me until I sat on the chair. He didn't talk about what had happen, instead he kept quiet, behaving like I wasn't sitting beside him." Hm, Jac" The teacher entered, and I wasn't able to complete my sentence. Unlike Jack, he would have been curious to know what I was about to say, and demand that I say it. It seems as if he didn't even hear what I said, but I was sure he did. Was he angry with me? The teacher had been lecturing for about an hour, he had fourty minutes left. Leo wasn't in the class, he would still be in the library, that is for sure. I was enjoying the class because I was understanding every thing the teacher was saying. He gave us an equation to solve, which I was solving happily. " Start again" I heard someone say, but I could not look up at this moment. I was close to getting my
LEO'S POVI waited patiently for the arrival of my food, I remembered Clara's diary and continued reading. I smiled when I read that her favourite food was spaghetti, and it was the only dish she could prepare well. I thought of going to have my bath before eating, but I changed my mind because I was so engrossed in reading the diary, and I didn't want to stop. I decided to eat before bathing, then I could have a nap and wake up later in order to attend the meeting I had by 10:00pm. Someone knocked softly on my door, I could barely hear it."Come in" I said with my eyes still fixed on the diary. The maid brought in my food, she gently placed on the table before leaving. I was reading the part where she said, bullying was a criminal offense to her and that she never let anyone bully her, no matter who the person was, I couldn't stop the laughter that forced itself out of my mouth. " Ohh shit, my food" I kept the diary under my pillow and went to eat, my food had become warm,
CLARA'S POVI tuned the door knob, about to open the door, but I stopped when I heard the master last sentence. "How is it possible that he was going to kill them, why would he even do it at the first place? He was probably just pulling their legs because he was angry" I thought, not until I heard him telling his guard to take them to the torture room. Who would have thought that there was a toture room for maids in this house. I closed the door gently, resting my head on the door, I have really caused a big mess. The workers were crying, pleading for their lives, I bent down looking transfixed. How would these innocent people die because of me, I couldn't think of any way to cover up this big mess I had just caused. This was the moment when I wish I could turn back time. I opened the door slowly, in order to avoid the creaky sound being heard. I saw Renata crying, she was being dragged roughly by one of the guard. Hot tears were beginning to roll down my cheek, I tried to wipe
LEO'S POV" Sir, here is the pain reliever " I went to the fridge to take a bottle of water. I didn't like taking drug and I couldn't take one without water. I poured a large quantity of water into my mouth, before putting the pill, swallowing the water and the pill at once. My guard turned to leave "Go and get the cctv footage from the security room, I need to see who really poured the water." I said handling the bottle of water to him, he returned it back to the fridge before leaving. I laid down on my bed trying to get a nap but I wasn't able to sleep. I forced myself to sleep for few minutes, but sleep was far from me at the moment, instead I kept on turning restlessly on the bed. I took out Clara's diary which was under my pillow and I continue reading from where I stopped. I was smiling as I read it, not until I was interrupted by a light knock on my door. "Come in" I said, knowing fully well that it would be my body guard returning with the cctv footage. Although I was
CLARA'S POV" Phew, that was close Clara. Innocent people almost died because of you" I soliloquised, hitting my chest gently while I walked slowly down the stairs. The fact that I got to know that Leo was my boss, was the greatest shock of my life. It kept on bothering me until I was about to open the kitchen door, then I remembered the people who I had sent to the torture room, because of my mistake. I became worried about what they were going to think of me, they would definitely be angry with me. I turned the door knob slowly in order to check if they were in the kitchen but the kitchen was deserted Instead. I stepped into the kitchen with my left foot, followed by right then I shut the door behind me. I looked round just to be sure that no one was in the kitchen, after I was convinced that I was the only living thing in the kitchen, I walked quickly to the second door that lead to the maids quarters. I needed to have a quick bath and a change of cloth. I opened the door a
