chapter Three

After all my classes,the day went fast. I was about to go home  when i heard someone screaming my name.

'flora, Flora ,are you running away from me ? the person asked .

I started praying in my mind, "father Lord don't let it to be Collins. I said, joining my hands together.

I knew from the voice that it was him calling me .just as I was about to turn back collins was standing at my front ,I was puzzled because my name that I heard was from a far distance.

"where are you going? he asked, tapping his phone.

I pretended not to hear the question,so i ignored him.

"Aren't you forgetting anything? he asked again, this time it  shows he was offended by me ignoring him.

OMG! the tour I said, pretending to just remember.

Hmm....stop the facade and the exaggeration.he told me,it won't kill you if you just show me round the school.

I looked up at the guy that's walking beside me,his face stern.i don't know that small little things like this do make him angry,I thought to myself.

"Am not angry. He asnwered me as if he read my mind.

Ok, let's go.i lead the way and started pointing to classes,labs,fiel f, cafeteria and also explaining the details to him.i also went to the extent of showing him where the male and female toilet is being located. i showed him the principal office,staffs and non teaching staffs which he stopped me by telling he knew that already.

I told him the name our school in other to remind again that's just like any other schools. my school "Evans highschool" has won a lot of Noble price like  best in football, cheerleading,quizes which I represented the school.

We took about 30minutes and then we both went to our different destination.

On my way home,I noticed someone was following me but Everytime I turned back,no one was there.may be am just imagining it,I thought to myself. But my instinct are proving me wrong.

I increased my pace and starrst running, prevention is better than cure. even though I knew some basics of taekwondo  when I was young but that couldn't defend me from whoever's following me.they might be in group,harmless or even dangerous.since I don't know for sure,to even turn back and check is now a problem because of the fear that am feeling.

Immediately I got up,I took yhr house from my pocket,rampling it before I insert the right key,my hands shaking and sweating at the same time.

The instant I was able to open the door,I shut it back and lock it, infact I pulled down the curtayof the window that's exposing the room.

2 years ago ,four bodies of young teanagers were found dead at same road I do take to school. they were killed  in cold blood. A rumour went around about the murderer being a vampire because of the autopsy did to Know the cause of their death.

Yeah,I might love vampires,but not for me to be their prey. I said out loud,I used the back of my left hand to wipe off the sweat forming on my forehead.

Who's stalking me and what do they want from? I asked myself,at the thought of it alone makes my body shiver.

A small knock hit the door,I peeped through the window to who it was and I saw my dad waiting patiently at the doorstep.

"Come in. I said ,opening the door for him.my voice cracked a little because of my panicking situation.

Dad entered the house with a curious face,he removed his shoes and the office bag that he brought in.

"Sweetie are you alright? He asked, touching my face, checking my neck and body to Know if I was hurt anywhere.

My dad has always been a drama queen, fussing about little things and scared about something happening to me,so I wasn't surprised at his behavior.

Dad, I'm fine.i told him,just a little scared ,tired and anxious,and you're not helping my situation at all ,I added.

I don't mean to be rude but hesh just makuma the matter worse with all his drama.

My dad opened his mouth to asked the reason behind it but he closed it back and asked me to go to my room and wait for mom to come back from work.

My dad is a business man,that what he told me while my mom is a fashion designer. It might take alot of time before she comes back, that means  will be able to take a nap.

I went to my toom,drop my school bag on the floor,changed into a boom short and a black tank top and gets ready to sleep not even minding the things on the floor,I think it's better to just sleep it off.

Within some minutes I was snoring,not that loud like a pig but a normal and cute snore.if you know you know.

My sleeping beauty was cut short by my  dad screaming my name downstairs. I was so into the sleep and didn't notice someone opening the door of my room.

"Hi Flora, collins said in a low voice beside me on the bed.

"Ummmmm...hi, I answered him in my sleeping tone, immediately the voice registered in my brain,I jumped up from the bed like some thief who has be caught,my eyes wide open like a owl wandering about at night.

What are you doing here Collins? I tried my best not to sound rude which am supposed to.

"Tutoring. He said, scratching his head.

"But I didn't tell you to come today. I said ,raising my eyebrows.

Coming to someone's else house without being invited isn't proper at all I told him,and entering a girl's room without Knocking is the worst part of it all,I said trying to make my point to him.

"Flora, he called.he couldn't get the words out his mouth , God Knows if a cat chopped his tongue.

 He looked up at my body, checking me out,his gaze falls on my exposed breast.i used my hands to cover them and walked to my wardrobe.
