Big mouth

Nice POV

I spent my night in paradise. Evan's arms felt like an expensive comfy. I breathe out in silent relief after inhaling his fragrance.

I feel dawn in my sleep and my eyes part to see an empty space next to me. Where did he go?

I yack from my nap posture and my spine straightens as I stare in shock and disappointment at my environment.

My villa is empty and today is clean up. My roommates are nowhere to be found. Not from my side of view.

"Oh no!" I grumble making a naughty face

"Oh yeah!" a familiar voice echoes from my side and I turn to face the owner

Abi is standing in front me with a sweet smile. She's wearing a pair of shorts and a pair of yellow scrunchies tied over two hair buns.

She looks like a complete school gal in her boots and dormitory top.

"Have you forgotten that today is tour day?" she reminds

My eyes enlarge and I can feel it bulging out of my socket as my brain totally transmits her sentence.

We had to be prepared for this journey by now. However, she looks ready and here I am frowning over Evan's absence.

I stutter "But- I- thought it was announced to take place next week"

The young girl shifts to my side, her brows craning as she goes down on my bed.

My eyes follow her action and she looks into my eyes trying to tell me something with them once she is settled.

I tilt my head with a confused gaze. What is she trying to say?

She gives up after so many struggles in trying to bring me to her understanding.

"You're so dumb I swear!"

I blink my eyes "Meaning?"

She exhales heavily staring away from me and I could feel her lungs vibrate during that process.

"I can't believe I also need to help you chew each time. I was sending you a signal concerning last night. What exactly happened between you two; I mean you and Evan?" she is staring at me expectantly

I clamp my lips into a thin line. How could I have known she was talking about that? She can sometimes be a suck of energy. I stressed almost all my brain cells to get the meaning her look.

"Umm...well, we kissed. But-"

she cuts in "You did what?!"

"We k.i.s.s.e.d but it wasn't out of confession. I was in panic after almost falling down the school building."

She is silent while I'm looking at my toes. That kiss meant a lot to me. It was my first kiss.

"What do mean after almost falling from the school scraper?"

I bring my head up but still don't look at her "I was enjoying the night sky and its beautiful moon while seated on the edge of a window in an empty corridor. Suddenly, I started felling weird. Like something strange was in my midst. So I decided to wake up but-a dark force pushed me further. My legs were already out of the building and it was-left- a little more pressure for me to fall down the cliff when Evan showed up and he helped me stand on my feet. I was overwhelmed and distracted with fear. My brain couldn't function again. And-I felt his lips on me. Just like that, we shared a moment before he brought me here and stayed by my side the whole night"

Abigael is motionless as I stare at her.

"I think there's an evil spirit roaming in this school" I say

Her face lit "Could It be the girl from the school wall?"

I face her "Yeah, maybe she wants revenge. This makes a lot of sense now. Wait a minute. Could Evan have known about this all along?"

Abi scrunches her brows "Why assume that?"

I shake my head "I don't know. I just deem he knows a lot. From the very first day I was here in that weird room, to the boys dorm, then a contract talking about an incident-Oh my God! Was that incident related to the girl's death? Could this be the reason Mrs. Jana doesn't want me close to Evan? What exactly did they do to her?"

"Nice calm down. You're confusing me, what contract are you talking about? And what incident is that?", her voice sound like many voices thrown at my face

I twitch and stand "I need to take my bath now before I'm left in this dorm alone"

"Are you going to tell me about it once you're done because I'm not going to let you keep things from me"

I nod, changing into my bathrobe and heading out leaving her seated there alone.

...

We're boarding the bus now and I was super late that I missed my breakfast. I didn't have time to talk to Evan either. I stand in line with Abigael behind me and other high school kids at the back of her.

I am looking around to see if I can spot him in the crowd of students. But he is nowhere to be found.

"Did you see Evan at the hall this morning?" I question Abi over my shoulder

she comes close "I saw him following Mrs. Jana but I don't know what for"

My forehead is now like an ancient rock as it folds and folds "Why will she hold him that long?" I murmur to myself and it doesn't misses Abi's hearing.

"You should find out" she advises

"I can't. I have a seat reserved for me. I don't want any mentally disturbed teenager teasing my patience."

"Don't worry about it. I'd take care of it" she assures and I turn to face her.

"Sure?"

She just nods and I smile before taking off back into the building.

"Ms. Nice!" a teacher shouts my name and I don't bother turning. Abi stands for me "Sir, she went to relief herself in the bathroom"

He accepts and continues with the role calling.

I walk through the school corridor eagerly but fear is my greatest debate. The least thing can make me faint. I climb up and stand in front of Mrs. Jana's office.

With a little hesitation, I knock the door and someone says "Come on in"

I encircle my hand over the knob of the door and trust it open. Once I'm faced with my surrounding, Mrs. Jana is aiming me a confused look and Evan is seated facing her but he pivots his body towards my direction.

He stands from his chair and walks towards me with the same look as my principal.

"What are you doing here? Is everything ok?" he inclines and I look back at Mrs. Jana who has her jaws to the ground. She is displeased with my presence.

"I searched for you. And Abigael told me you walked away with Mrs. Jana"

He looks frustrated "She told me to stay back. That I can't go"

My eyes tears at him then at the woman over his shoulder "Why did she say so?"

"She wants me to stay away from you" he whispers just to my hearing.

I give him a bewildered look "And you accepted! You seriously want me away"

He gets closer and Mrs. Jana scold "I won't do that if I were you boy"

He halts in his strides, giving me a soft gaze. My heart sinks and I walk past him towards Mrs. Jana

"With all due respect Mrs. Jana If you don't let him come with us, I will tell everyone about your deal with my mom" I say in wrath before my senses registered what I uttered

Evan spins on his feet to face us and my principal rises from her seat "Who on earth told you that?"

I'm frozen. What will I say now? That Evan broke into her office and stole her information.
