They would look at me differently

I turned off my cellphone and clasped it over my chest tightly...

My eyes were wide opened, there was no way I would be able to catch some sleep...

Not when he's out there.

Watching.

************************************

The last class for the day finally came to an end, all day I just kept spacing in and out, I couldn't get those text messages out of my mind no matter how hard I tried..

He was absent today, it should have been a relieve to me.Only it wasn't .....it made me even more tensed.

"are you alright?These days I just think there's something off about you " Lyn spoke disrupting my trail of thoughts

I nodded slowly, she looked like she didn't believe my words in the least so I spoke to reassure her.

"um..actually I'm just worried about our final exams....that's all" i lied

She scoffed aloud, shooting me an 'are you kidding look'

"you're so smart and you have to worry about it?It should be me talking about that and not you "

I chuckled to that as I opened my locker to keep my books inside , I was just about to slam it shut when my gaze fell on something.

Everything in me froze, the blood drained out of my face...

Oh god!

"Gracie what........" she also trailed off as her gaze followed mine, a loud gasp escaped her mouth.

I couldn't take my gaze away from the horrific sight , I was paralysed by it.

It was a doll....splattered over with red stains, a rope hanging from its neck

A sob escaped my mouth as I ran blindly, it was all too suffocating....I couldn't breathe.

Then I ran....

Ignoring her calls after me, I just needed to get away from it all, I needed breathe.

I made a sharp turn around the hallway and stopped just in time from bumping into a person.

It was Brittany.

We stared at each other momentarily before I hurried past her.

Ever since that gym class incident she was staying far away from me, it was quite relieving.

I felt her gaze boring holes into my back, I don't know why I did, but I looked back , she was indeed staring me.....but it was something about her gaze that held me in my spot, she averted her gaze quickly and hurried off.

But I already saw it.

She hates me.

Very much.It was brewing like a storm in her gaze
