☆☆Kevin POV☆☆
I ended the call with Jack and lost all of my senses at once. His words echoed in my ears continuously: “that thing is dangerous, don’t show it to anyone, and be careful around it”
“Oh god it is all my fault. I even dragged Mia into this mess” I blamed myself for everything. I shouldn’t have gone to the attic in the first place.
I stayed up all night pacing back and forth in my room, thinking about everything that happened since we found it and how it all made sense now.
My alarm sounded next to me, bringing me back to reality. I got ready for school as fast as possible, gathered everything and went straight to Mia’s house. I wanted to catch her before she boarded the bus.
I parked in front of her house and waited after I called her like a million times. It took her 15 minutes to come out. She stepped into the car complaining: “what the hell Kevin? You scared me. Why are you here? Did something….”
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ I got into the changing room to get ready for the race. Mia’s idea was a good one, I had to give her that, but I felt hesitant and worried towards it. She wanted to prove whether the horseshoe was a lucky charm or not. I closed my eyes remembering what we talked about in the car trying to calm down and find logic in what she said. “Trust me Kevin; it’s the only way to be sure. Just put the horseshoe on you during the race and we will see what will happen” she said as she held my hand in hers pressing it in assurance. I looked into her curious eyes and said as i scratched the back of my head: “I don’t know Mia; I really think we should listen to Jack and keep away from it” She sighed soundly putting her head down replying in a low tone: “I just don’t think that it’s dangerous at all. It literally saved us back in the car accident. Let us give it a try” I couldn’t refuse her anymore: “Fine, I will do
☆☆Mia POV☆☆The second I saw Ben behind me, I instantly froze. “What is he doing here? Why did he come to us? He usually ignores us completely as if we are air” I thought to myself as I stared at his smile that he was flashing at me.I stared at him in disbelief, he looked at Kevin and his smile turned into a smirk while Kevin gritted his teeth and glared at him even more fiercely.Kevin’s grip tightened on my hand, squeezing my fingers more. I pulled my hand free and spoke first, breaking the awkward silence: “hey Ben, what are you doing here?”He grabbed a chair from the table behind him and sat down with us before looking at Kevin challengingly and then turned his head to me and smiled widely saying: “I was passing by and saw you two; I thought to check up on you”I felt my cheeks heat up as I remembered our earlier hug: “I am okay. Thank you”I glanced at Kevin
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆Range erupted within my body and I hardly controlled myself. I stepped into the storage room and I saw nothing.The storage room was empty. Mia wasn’t there.I closed the door and I felt my blood boil; I closed my eyes and clenched my fists hard.“Natalia played me” I took large strides back to the cafeteria. I was going to kill her this time. What the hell did she do? If Mia was hurt, I will definitely make her pay for it.As I stepped into the hall, I saw Mia sitting at our table silently waiting for me. Just seeing her calmed me down instantly. I searched for Natalia with my eyes and saw her eating with her head down on the plate.I was a little confused. I expected h
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ I left Mia’s house in denial, I didn’t want to believe that we actually fought together for the first time since we became friends. I walked around aimlessly thinking about our last conversation. Her words shattered me completely, it hurt so bad that I couldn’t breathe right. It feels like I got stabbed right into my heart and its bleeding sorrow. The worst part was that she didn’t know anything nor she believed me. Finally I dragged myself back home. I didn’t want to talk to anyone, so I just headed upstairs. As soon as I entered my room, I dropped myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Sadness poured inside my soul.
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ My dreams were filled with this memory repeating over and over all night. I woke up only when my alarm sounded at 6 in the morning. I got up gloomy and depressed. I almost ditched school today, but something came over me that I couldn’t shake off. So, I got up, got ready and headed there. As the bus approached the school, I saw Mia standing with Ben talking. I don’t know what happened but it looked like Mia sent him off. I came down the bus with the idea of not talking to her ever again; I even wanted to pass by her and not look. But again something came over me and I couldn’t do it. As if I couldn't control myself or my actions. As I approached her, she smiled. I almost smiled back, but I just put on a cold face. I really didn’t want to talk to her. However, my heart melted when I saw guilt on her face and how she struggled to apologize. I couldn’t withstand her agony especially when it’s caused by me eve
☆☆Mia POV☆☆“Mia,” the teacher shouted out loud and all heads turned to me as she headed towards me.She hovered over my head and looked at my exam paper and then at me. I was in shock because of what just happened and I couldn’t respond.I couldn’t speak or move. So, she just stood there staring at me. I glanced at her and then at the paper again.Then I mustered whatever strength I had left in me and said: “I think I am done. I will leave now” and bolted towards the door as all eyes were following me.I came out of class panting heavily like I was running a marathon although I was exhausted mentally and not physically.I was supposed to meet Kevin after the exam session at the door of his assigned class so that I can pass the horseshoe secretly to him.Since I finished the exam earlier than we thought, I headed to the cafeteria to look for him.I entered the ha
☆☆Mia POV☆☆Ben’s words were still ringing in my ears when suddenly I heard Kevin’s statement which was weird: “Mia I have a confession to make”“What the hell is going on today?” I thought to myself as I looked at Kevin speechless. He stammered a little and then scratched the back of his head trying to find his lost words.“EMMM” I looked at him and smiled warmly.“What is it? Kevin” I asked, now I feel worried. He took a deep breath saying: “I just don’t know how you are going to react?”“Something bad happened?” I asked as my stomach started to ache out of anxiousness.“NO, NO” he assured me while shaking both his hands.“Then what is it?” I asked worryingly“I haven’t been honest with you Mia,” he said, putting his hands on the table and leaning in a little.&ldqu
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆My eyes were already glued to Mia when she screamed, but I saw nothing. In just two long strides I reached her: “what is it?”She seemed well even standing in the same spot. I looked around and eyed her up and down but she was perfectly fine.“EWWWWW” she shouted out loud. She placed her palm over her left shoulder and wiped off something.I looked at her palm and then back to her: “what happened?” I asked again, checking her shoulder. Again it looked fine.Then in a childish, crying tone she raised her palm to my face and replied back: “A bird just peed on me” I straightened my back and looked at her face: “you scared me. So what? Just wipe it” I smiled back in relief.She got a few tissues out of her bag and started to clean up her shoulder and palm while asking: “so, did you find it?”I sighed loudly and replied: “No. Now what?” she rais
