“Mama… I’m leaving first” I said goodbye after hanging up on the phone. I’m not in the mood to finish my meal, it’s more important to know what happened to Michaela. I’m going to go to the teacher, I want to confirm what he has to do with what happened to Michaela and where Michaela is now. I know, she is not dead. I won’t let it happen.
To: Lucas
Teacher, text me your address. I just need to talk to you. ASAP.
I texted him. I can’t wait for night because my hand is itching to slap him. First our advisor and now he wants to follow Michaela? And actually Samantha will do it! Another class! I don’t think I know Samantha anymore, why would she kiss the teacher? Is he throwing himself at that teacher? I didn’t know that he was so desperate that he could hurt even Michaela. Strange friend.
After a minute, he texted back and sent me his address. I quickly hailed a taxi and said the address the teacher texted. good and I brought money from my savings that was just kept under my closet, because I knew I wouldn’t pay the taxi driver anything.
“Dane’s Residence na po Ma’am” the driver said so I paid and got off easily. here we go, Im here to talk to him and if i need to slap his face to answer my question then i will. This is for my friends sake.
As I walk towards the gate, its already open. I didn’t lock the gate, if something bad happens I will run onto the gate and run and run again until I’m a far from this huge house.
“Hey, Sweetheart. Did you miss me that fast?” he asked. But I didn’t pay attention to that.
“Are you and Samantha in a relationship?” I asked directly. I want him to answer me right away, because with so many women, why is he putting my friend in trouble.
“What are you talking about?” he asked with a laugh. I can’t believe the teacher’s rudeness, because Michaela herself told me that she saw the teacher and Samantha kiss.
“What are you gonna say, teacher? Samantha is one of your whores? How many whores do you have teacher? More than five?” I asked sarcastically. I can’t believe him! Samantha is not that class to put her on his list of women. He is sensible. But maybe, he likes the teacher so much that the teacher used that to manipulate my friend. That’s why he was able to hurt Michaela.
“Sweetheart, I don’t know what you’re talking about. You came here to ask me about my whores? Are you jealous?” he asked me with a smile. Part of me says yes, but I prefer the answer no. Why would i get jealous?
“Where is Michaela? Samantha did harm her! what the hell is wrong with my friend? She is not that bad, teacher. Why would Samantha hurt Michaela? She stabbed Michaela using a knife! What’s with her? I know that you know it. Just answer my freaking question before i get pissed!” I yelled. If it wasn’t enough I would slap him. before i get pissed? But im already pissed off!
“Oh. Didn’t know about that sweetheart. Why don’t you ask her instead? You’ll get the answer that you really wanted to know.” It’s a calm answer to me. I couldn’t hold my mouth anymore so some words came out that I shouldn’t have asked.
“What’s with you and Samantha? Are you both in a relationship ship with each other? Then, how about me?! Are you planning to make me one of your whores? Who’s next after me? Michaela? prison? All of my classmates? Tell me!”
What the f’ck am I saying?
“Will you please stop acting that you’re jealous? Why are you still asking me about me and your friend? I don’t—–”
“But Michaela saw the both of you kissing! Tell me, why wouldn’t I ask you about it? and im not acting jealous! Because im really jealous! You kissed Ms. Cherry in front of me! And now, You kissed Samantha?! You call them with a sweet endearment like the way you call me Sweetheart! What’s wrong with you, teacher? You still keep saying that you love me! but you keep flirting with other girls?!” i breathe heavily. The teacher was shocked by what I said—and I was too! I don’t know why I said that, it’s just that I really wanted to say it. I just didn’t I know if it’s true that I’m jealous. I’ve never been like this before.
“W-where is Michaela?” my voice was shaking. We should be talking about Michaela, not the two of us. But the teacher still looked shocked so he couldn’t answer me, he just looked at me while biting his lower lip as if trying to stop himself from smiling.
“Teacher if you’re not going to answer me then I’ll go ahead” I marched away but I was only four steps away when he immediately pulled me back and hugged me from behind. He put his chin on my shoulder making my muscles tremble.
“I sent her to the hospital when I found out that someone harmed your friend. Your friend is already safe, no need to worry.” he explained which made me feel better. Michaela is safe. But it’s quick to know right away.
But that someone he is talking about is Samantha.
“Do you mind if I’ll ask you to stay here for one night?” he asked me so I untied the arms wrapped around my waist. I know what’s on his mind. One night will be forever, I know the way he thinks.
“My mother and brother will get worried about me so, im not going to stay here for tonight maybe some other time.” my excuse I don’t want to stay here, I already escaped. Will I come back?
But not literally escaped. Because I’m still tied to him.
even though I’m back home, I still can’t escape from him. I need to escape it. But every time I run away, I keep coming back because of the rope wrapped around my body and his body. Invincible rope to be exact.
“Come on, just for tonight. just this night, promise. I don’t want you beside me and im not used to it when you’re far from me. Please, sweetheart?” im not going to say yes because he is just lying to me, one night? Or one century? He can’t fool me just like that.
“No… My answer is a big NO so, if you will, excuse me. I have to go. By the way, what’s the hospital’s name did you bring Michaela? I want to visit her.” I asked.
“I’ll tell it to you if you’re going to stay here for tonight” he said. Mom will scold me and ask where I went. maybe it’s better if I don’t visit Michaela first, maybe she won’t wake up yet if she’s comatose.
“Come on deal with it. I promise, just this night” he convinced me. Maybe it’s worth it, I can visit Michaela the next day. He promised. it’s for michaela.
“Alright. Prepare me my breakfast. I haven’t eaten yet.” when I order. I’m hungry.
A night with this Vampire. Is it fine?
