  • Xayne marched out of the bungalow putting on her dark shades.
  • She was in a tight bodycon dress that shew her curves and had her little bag hung over her shoulder.
  • Her heels balanced her motion as she careful not to move fast.
  • She sat on the bonnet of the Ferrari Dino 246 GTS and took few selfie before moving for the door.
  • "Celestine". Her soft voice beckoned with her hand opening the door.
  • She got in scoffed seeing Celeste who was fast asleep on the driver's seat.
  • Xayne hit the horn and she jolt up hurriedly struggling with the seat belt.
  • "Don't hang yourself to death sleepy head, it isn't a bomb".
  • "How could you?". Celeste asked.
  • "Are you done or you wanna sleep for.....".
  • "Just keep shhh and let's fvcking move". She cuts Xayne sharply.
  • "I've been waiting here for the past one hour Celeste".
  • "Really? You're such a terrible lier, I haven't slept for......". Celeste was saying but paused on seeing the time.
  • "9am, what the fvck?".
  • Xayne shrugged and relaxed on the seat putting on her belt.
  • "Am gonna kill you one day Xayne". She whispered starting the ignition.
  • "You're never gonna find someone like me".
  • "Why would I ever need someone like you, just one reason?". Celeste asked as they drove off.
  • "Tell that to your grandma".
  • Luna High School was quite gigantic with rows of painted buildings at different point.
  • The wind was peaceful that morning as it blew.
  • A vehicle soon drove in and came to halt where other vehicles were parked.
  • "Are you sure anyone is at school, hello! ". Xayne called out after she got down the vehicle.
  • " Don't act like a jerk ". Celeste cursed pulling her along.
  • "It's 9am". She added.
  • "That's right". Xayne replied.
  • They walked past a few student at the hallway who fixed their gaze at them.
  • "Don't stare at me,warning you". She threatened.
  • They finally got to their classroom but the door was closed.
  • "Class in progress, thanks to you Xayne". Celeste said.
  • "Welcome babe". She replied and pushed the knob of the door down thereby unlocking it.
  • She slowly pushed it open and peeped in to the see a woman who was writing on the board with a marker.
  • "Clear, moving in!". Xayne whispered and tip toed in.
  • "Xayne! Xayne!". Celeste cursed under breath.
  • She was mid way to her seat when she heard her name and paused.
  • Xayne turned back slowly like a cat to see the teacher who was dropping the marker.
  • "What gives you the impression that you're invisible Miss Cruz".
  • And that was Mrs. Brown, the biology teacher.
  • She is of an average height, deep dimple and had that blonde brand of hair.
  • Mrs. Brown was a nice person but someone who hates indiscipline and detention was her regular call.
  • "Um... Our vehicle broke down and....".
  • "We're sorry Mrs. Brown". Celeste said moving in like a scared cat.
  • "This isn't the first time".
  • "It'll be the last, we promise".
  • Mrs. Brown exhaled heavily and picked her marker.
  • "Fall in".
  • "We're in already". Xayne whispered.
  • "Did you say something? ".
  • "Nope".
  • They found a vacant seat at the back and sat side to side.
  • "Miss Cruz come forward please". She ordered.
  • "She's such a pain in the ass". She told Celeste before moving forward where she was directed to a vacant seat at the first row.
  • "Hi". The Dude beside her waved but she stared at him like he was a piece of junk.
  • "Um Welcome to the fore front". He grinned.
  • "Have you swallowed your teeths before?". She asked.
  • "Um Just imagining it looks gruesome". He said laughing.
  • "Then keep mute or I'll make you". She threatened.
  • He swallowed the saliva in his mouth which was now hard as stone and turned to the board.
  • "We're at page sixteen Miss Cruz and I expect you to be there". Mrs. Brown suggested raising a book up.
  • "That big thing couldn't get into my bag so I think i left it". She stressed out slowly.
  • "You've become quite unserious, Miss Cruz".
  • "I'm Xayne, call me Xayne please". She said angrily.
  • "My bad, Miss Xayne pair with him for today but I won't tolerate that in my next class".
  • Xayne nodded slowly and turned to the dude who looked happy as he pushed the book to her desk.
  • She stared blankly at him and he cleared his throat.
  • "Hish!".
  • "On page sixteen as you can see there, it's the structure of a cell, the cell of a living organism, an animal cell ". She said and paused.
  • "You can clearly see the parts labeled out, the ribosomes, the golgi body, the nucleus....".
  • "The cell is really small but powerful". He said staring at her.
  • "So?".
  • "Miss Xayne can we have one class please?".
  • She turned to Mrs. Brown who was tapping the marker on her desk.
  • "Maybe you can also remind us, what's a nucleus, I remembered explaining that in my previous class".
  • "Nucleus?". She inquired.
  • "Yes nucleus, it's labeled there in your text". Mrs. Brown said and cleaned the writing on the blood.
  • "Nucleus". Xayne said and the class laughed loud.
  • "Yes Miss Xayne, Nucleus". She said quickly spelling it out on the board.
  • "Nucleus is the part of the cell which coordinate it's activities and....". The Dude was whispering but she stepped strongly on his toe and groaned.
  • "I don't know that". She replied.
  • The teacher exhaled heavily and dropped her marker.
  • "See me after the class, so we come to the end of today's lesson, good day". She announced raising her hands up.
  • "Xayne". She called out and walked out of the classroom.
  • "Hi, I'm Garry, I guess you haven't noticed me before, you sit at the back a lot". He said adjusting his spec.
  • She ignored grabbing her bag but held her hand.
  • Xayne turned back and sent a punch into his nose.
  • He fell from his chair to the ground causing everyone's jaw to drop down.
  • "Hey!". Celeste said and grabbed her shoulder from behind leading her out.
  • "Do you have to attack people always?". She inquired.
  • "He came at me".
  • "Everyone is trying to act nice so stop being repulsive especially at guys".
  • "All what I need is no one talking to me, me left in my own loneliness to the cruel world that took my parents away". She screamed.
  • Celeste held her hand tightly and massaged it.
  • "Listen Xayne, you need to move on, their death has turned you into a maniac who hates eveyone, you need to start loving people".
  • "The only ones I love were my parent, they're gone". She cried.
  • "Hey". Celeste said holding her face.
  • "I remembered what I did when my mom died, I tore the house apart everyday, looking for someone to blame, blaming eveyone for her death because no one could ever love me the way she did but I had to move on, I had to stop blaming anyone or anything, it makes you go crazy ".
  • " You have your Father,Celeste, don't act like you understand my pain, don't act like you understand how shattered I've become, they made me what I am, and now I have no one..
  • . ".
  • " No, you have me, you have Aunt Monica, you have a lot of people, you just have to open your heart to them ". Celeste was saying when they saw a tall dark skinned dude headed for them in a basket ball suit.
  • " And here comes your lengthy boyfriend ".
  • " We're gonna get you one ".
  • " Dudes are liers and mini devils ". Xayne said.
  • " And with this attitude of yours, you're never gonna get one because you're gonna beat him to pulp, day, night". Celeste sang loudly.
  • "Just go ahead lover girl". Xayne snapped and walked away.
  • "Hi babe". She heard the masculine voice and turned to see them kiss with Celeste stretching to meet his height.
  • "Hish". She whispered locating Mrs. Brown's office.
  • ...... Somewhere In The Woods.....
  • It was dead silent in the woods and dark as the clouds had gathered together to pour out rain.
  • Suddenly all the creatures raced out of the hidings.
  • Birds flying out of their nets into the sky. Squirrels, Rabbits and other land creatures in the wood racing off.
  • Heavy thud could then be heard from far away accompanied with loud howl of something that sounded like a wolf.
  • Unannounced a teen boy who had the looks of a high school dude leapt out of the deep darkness.
  • He landed on the branch of a tree which snapped.
  • He had bleeding cuts all over his face as he looked back into the darkness before taking off.
  • His movement speed was quite inhuman as occasionally leapt over log of woods with his hands stretched forward.
  • Loud growl from behind echoed loudly as it got closer.
  • He turned back to look and mistakingly tripped over the root of a tree causing him to fall.
  • Even before he could think of getting up a huge hairy hand like that of a gorilla grabbed his feet.
  • "Tell us, Where's Shane?". The loud voices echoed from the darkness.
  • "I swear I don't know him, I don't know who's Shane?". He begged as he couldn't look into the eyes of whatever was in front of him.
  • "Lier, his scent is all over you, with or without your help, we'll find him". The voices echoed.
  • The hairy hand let go of him and vanished back into the darkness caused by the dark cloud above.
  • He staggered to his feet and made to run but then something huge and swift grabbed him into the darkness with his scream echoing all over the wood.
  • Another Dude who was tall in height could be seen listening from behind a tree where he was hiding the entire time.
  • And raising his head up his eyes were red and his teeth were quite not normal with two sharp long canine at opposite ends.
  • He wore his hood slowly covering his face and with one swift dash caused the leaves to rustle away.
