After concluding the task, she left the laboratory, ignoring the glares she got from the guys.
“Katie Clyde!” she heard Rose's voice yelling her name, she ducked into a corner, and saw Rose barging into the laboratory, her face red, she looked very mad at her.
She sneaked out, and ran away, arriving at the canteen, she took a deep breath, “that was close” she mumbled.
She remembered how she removed the cover in her head, the way she flung the gloves, and the way she grabbed her backpack and arrived at the canteen.
Katie arrived at the counter, and locked gaze with the woman in charge “Katie Clyde, where is your tag?” the woman in charge demanded, without giving her any chance to say anything.
She sighed heavily thanking her stars, that the mischievous Cornell didn't make it to school, who would know if he is going to steal her food pass once again?
She stretched her arms with a beaming smile “Madam Carol, here!” she said, the woman hesitated.
“You can now make your order” she responded and rolled her eyes, and walked away.
“I want a cup of ice cream, some bums, beans cake, and a burger-”
She was still making orders when he heard Madam Carol call her out “Katie Clyde, you have exceeded the normal orders, this isn't one of your dates”
Katie Clyde frowned after being scolded, she received her order, made her way to her table, and settled down, she started gobbling the food.
She nearly choked on her food when Kelvin took his order to sit with her, “what is the matter? Are you okay, Katie?” he inquired with a tender voice.
She grabbed the glass of water and gulped, took a deep breath and faced him “I am fine” she replied, and buried her head in her food, trying so hard to ignore him.
When Kelvin saw what she was doing, he poked her head “you will choke on the food, if you keep eating so fast, and without raising your head at all, to give your upper region a break” he cautioned her.
She is eating so fast all because of him, she prayed inwardly that Catherine doesn't come and see them “Katie, why are you not saying anything? Did my presence make you feel uncomfortable?”
Katie nodded her head without raising her head, how can he not see Catherine is interested in him? she pondered.
She raised her head and her eyes widened in shock, “Oh- my God” she exclaimed, earning looks toward her.
Catherine entered, with her friends escorting her from behind, “damn, Katie!” she scolded herself.
And quickly stood on her feet, strapped her backpack, gulped a mouthful of water, and jogged three feet away from her table.
She returned to her table and grabbed the coke and burger, “not going to leave you” she said.
Kelvin's corners of lips twitched, and he looked at Katie longingly as she ran off from the canteen.
She got into her trunk, and took a deep breath before driving out of the school, Chloe saw her driving away.
“Katie! Stop!” she yelled, throwing caution to the winds, but Katie's mind was occupied, and the loud sound coming from the engine drowned Chloe's voice.
“What a befitting friend” a boy standing by made a mocking remark “none of your business” Chloe snorted without looking at the person.
With long strides, she walked away, she paused briefly and turned around wide-eyed, she nearly smack her face for ruining the first time her crush talked to her.
“Brien!” she half-yelled, and muted promptly, she couldn't control her overreacting feelings, the boy shook his head and walked away “crazy!” he muttered and left.
Chloe touched her forehead with a big frown “Katie Clyde, you are the reason that I lost my long-time crush” she first mumbled, and at the end, she shouted.
Some bystanders looked at her worriedly, “is she going crazy?”
“I guess, who won't go crazy with a friend like Katie Clyde?”
Her eyes bulged when she heard all the whisperings around, and her face heated and reddened, she couldn't control her emotions. feeling embarrassed, she jogged off.
Katie stepped on the brake and pulled over at the courtyard, she exhaled and alighted from the truck “Child, you are back so early” Granny Fray called her attention.
She was busy in her little garden, tending to her vegetables “Oh- ye… aham, that is oh-” she stuttered incoherently, Granny Fray pursed her lips tightly, wondering what is wrong with Katie.
Before she could say any other word, Katie sneaked away, the corners of Mama Fray's lips twitched, and she bent down and got her hands dirty with the soil.
Opening the door, Katie exhaled in relief when she saw that the man she rescued yesterday was still lying down.
Suddenly, the man lying down, woke up “awoo!” he howled, his eyes blood-red, and his fangs revealed.
Katie, seeing this shocking scene, fainted instantly, and slumped on the floor, the man's chest started heaving, and his eyeballs regained their normal grey and colour.
He placed his feet on the floor, and jerked his head towards the girl lying on the floor, he stood on his feet, towering over six feet.
With long legs, and broad chest, well-formed muscles, and abs, well-defined, with long strides, he gathered Katie in his arms and placed her on the couch.
He started looking around the house, “this place” he mumbled to himself, still stark naked, he looked at the fridge in Katie's little sitting room.
The noise coming from it startled him, he touched the handle, and swung the door of the fridge, bouncing back, and taking a fighting stance.
Well, he saw the cooling culminating from the fridge, and the few bottles of coke, and juice “box” he mumbled.
“Hmm,” he contemplated.
He transfixed for some time before moving forward and took what caught his fancy inside the freezer. He left it open, and saw a cup at the dining table, he strode over and stared at it blankly. Cross took it, and returned to his seat, he sat down and reclined on the chair, and he shook the juice. “What kind of wine is this?” he mumbled, and shook his head, he twisted it several angles, before opening it, and pouring himself a drink. He sat calmly and started sipping from the cup leisurely, Katie stirred and grumbled, she woke up, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw the stranger that she took in sitting down leisurely, and sipping juice. She gasped when he saw her late father's favourite tea cup in his hand, she stood on her feet and snatched it from him “Hey, not this one,” she said and kept the tea cup away after disposing of the juice. “Why are you naked?” she grumbled, and threw a duvet at him, she webbed her hair with her palm in frustration. A knock came at the doo
As she waded through the City traffic, she hummed a tone.“Hey! Watch where you are going, idiot!” someone yelled at her.Katie frowned, her eyebrows knitted tightly, the voice seemed very familiar, she didn't put so much thought into it.She arrived at the location of the person who ordered the pizza, held the box tightly and walked towards a residential building,the street was very clean, different from other streets she has been to, without being told, anyone could tell that people of affluent in the City reside there.She rang the electric bell, the gate opened, and a burly man stepped out, Katie Clyde looked up, the shadow of the man was blocking the sun from her face.“Yes,” the man said in a deep baritone voice.Katie licked her lips nervously, “I am the pizza girl, someone ordered a pizza here”She recited her usual lines, “call the person”Katie Clyde whipped out her phone, and called the person who made the order, “hey, what took you so long? I was expecting you an hour ago,
When Katie got home, she dragged her tired body through the front screen door, she kept her trench coat on the hanger, her eyes wandered around the room and landed on the table before she looked towards the settee and discovered that Pascal was still sitting where he was.Her eyes widened in shock "you, didn't you eat?"she rushed towards the dining table and checked the microwaved food she have prepared for him, but to her surprise, she saw that the food was left untouched.She furrowed her eyebrows, and stood arms akimbo at Pascal's front, with her head slightly raised like a peacock, Pascal chuckled."Hey, why are you laughing? you haven't eaten, ain't you hungry? and what is your name?"Pascal looked into her eyes speechlessly, he didn't know how to respond, he doesn't even know what she was talking about.Katie started demonstrating with her hands, but when no response came from Pascal, she gave up "he is probably deaf and dumb, or mentally unstable, what a pity" she mumbled whil
Katie emerged with Dr Syd by her side from the room, Pascal looked at Dr Syd and squinted his eyes."Hello, this is my friend Dr Syd, he is a doctor, I called him over to look at you," Katie told Pascal, who just looked at the two without moving his muscles.Dr Syd narrowed his eyes at Pascal "hello, what is your name?"Pascal responded in saxon, and both of them were astounded, Katie glanced at Dr Syd "what is he saying? I don't understand" she said."Katie, I would like to see you for a minute"Dr Syd took Katie Clyde into her room once again "Katie, can you tell me what is going on? and it should be the truth, no lies"Katie Clyde looked at Dr Syd and crossed her heart "no lies, I saw him on the road naked and took pity on him, that is why I brought him home"Dr Syd gasped and gaped at Katie Clyde "you are something else, Katie, what if he is a criminal? what if he wants to harm you, how can you do such a thing?"Katie Clyde nodded in understanding "it is just an assumption, can yo
"Talking of the devil" Katie Clyde mumbled and hurried over."Mrs Scott" she greeted smiling widely.The woman looked at Katie Clyde sternly "you are supposed to be among those planning the transportation of students, why are you late Katie Clyde?" she asked."Ah, that, I wasn't told" Katie Clyde replied.Mrs Scott made sure she scolded Katie Clyde before letting her go, she exhaled a breath "what a horrible morning" she muttered.The moment she ran into Catherine "can my day be any worse!?" she lamented."Katie Clyde, hope you got the gift I gave you, Senior Rose is looking for you, girl, you are in a deep shit" Catherine warned her smilingly.Katie Clyde's eyes widened in realisation "thank you so much, Catherine, catch you later" Katie Clyde said, she turned around and fled."what is wrong with her?" Catherine's lackey at her right hand asked, "she is crazy" Catherine replied, and looked towards the direction that Katie Clyde fled to.When Katie Clyde arrived at the planning commit
Katie Clyde was absent-minded when the new owner ascend the podium, Edna one of her co-workers nudged her."He is so handsome, Katie," she said and blushed faintly.Katie Clyde blinked her eyes in confusion, and looked at her "what did you say?"She rolled her eyes "forget it, Katie Clyde"The owner stood on the podium and started speaking "my name is Jack Rich, I am impressed with the way the dispatching company has been organised, I am not going to change any policies, except the ones making my workers go home sad and crying""Katie, he is looking at us, he is looking at me" she started assuming because Jack Rich's gaze was directed towards where they are sitting.Katie Clyde rolled her eyes, "thank you all, for your hard work" Jack Rich ended his speech, and left the podium, the manager followed him out of the conference room.Katie Clyde followed the other staff out of the conference room, "um... I would have called Pascal, but he doesn't even have a phone, poor boy""Poor boy?" t
Pascal stretched his hand and grabbed the burly man's neck and broke it, he turned around swiftly and looked down, and saw the man escaping with Katie Clyde's bike."Hey, stop, I am going to call the cops" Katie Clyde cried out, running after him on foot."Hahaha, call the cops? they won't dare come over here" he mocked and diverted into a more dangerous street.His eyes caught a glimpse of a man standing ahead, in the middle of the street."fuck!" he swore, and stepped on the brake, the tyres screeched and halted right before Pascal."Fuck you, man! what the hell are you doing in the middle of the street, I would have knocked y..."Pascal didn't even bother listening to the nonsense he was saying, he stretched his hand and caught his collar, pulled him up directly, and flung him over his head."woohoo!" the street urchin screamed "ouch!" he wailed the moment he landed roughly on the tarred road."Hey, I will call the police, return my bike" Katie Clyde's voice filtered into Pascal's
"Take care of Katie, when it's time, we will settle with the vampires once and for all," he said and teleported back to the house.Jack Rich looked on and sighed emotionally, he wasn't expecting him to be still alive."Pascal!" Katie Clyde called out, she has been looking for him for the past ten minutes.The screen door in the backyard opened, and Pascal walked inside the house "hey, where have you been? I have been looking for you"Pascal replied "I was in the backyard"Katie Clyde furrowed her eyebrows wondering what he was doing in the backyard, she didn't bother asking.She went inside the house and changed her outfit, "um... we will be going over to Granny Fray's home, sorry didn't tell you this earlier" Katie Clyde said nervously."It is fine if you don't want to come, I will go...""I will come with you," Pascal said and stood on his feet surprising Katie Clyde, "are you serious?" she reiterated.Pascal nodded, everything was still new and awkward to him."Okay," Katie Clyde r
