—————————————

It's almost lunchtime and I save a seat for my pals as I finished early. I have a glass of water with me as I listened to music. I wonder if my dad likes music as much as I do? Or probably it's my mom.

I really miss her. She didn't come last night so probably She'll come this night. I feel the urge to use the bathroom and leave my phone there and head for the restroom.

Victor enters the cafeteria looking around to make sure it was empty, he sprinkles some powder into the water and leaves.

I return after a while and take my seat again. Lunch break comes and I'm laughing with the people I love so dear,

"I'm starving" Debbie moans out as her stomach punched her,

"Time to grab a bite" Daylon bubbles and heads over to the lunch Lady bouncing like a ball, he whispers to her and she nods. He comes back with boxes of pizza and drinks,

"Woah!!!" We all chorus and his ego inflates,

"Perks of being rich" I grin at him and he blushes,

"Just wanted it to be a special Friday. Pizza, drinks and you" he tries to seduce me once again,

"Take your time Mr Evans" I push his face that had come a bit too close to mine backward,

"Flirting is in his gene Eris, nothing can be done!" Bryan remarks and we all laugh,

"I hate her so much" Lilac sneers marking the table with a knife, "you better not disappoint me" she threatens,

"Relax Lilac" Victor smirks wickedly, "consider her out of your life forever"

"Are you sure?" Lilac begins to worry,

"You paid me didn't you?" He keeps staring at me, waiting for me to drink the water.

I grab my glass and just as I was about to take a drink Daylon collects the glass from me,

"I'll give you if I get a Peck for this pizza surprise" his eyes flash playfully, I roll my eyes and go after my water but he moves it away from my reach, "peck first" he sings.

I stand to grab it from him but he keeps taking it higher like he's trying to brag about his height. To Victor, we were playing with death and he just hoped I drank it and not Daylon. If Daylon drank it that would be disastrous.

"Stop acting like a kid Daylon" Bryan begs him while munching on a slice,

"It's just a Peck, how hard is that?" He's distracted and I grab my glass but not without giving him a secret lick on his neck.

I gulp it down immediately and I could've sworn I heard someone sigh in relief. Daylon is a human tomato as he touched his neck, he didn't believe it,

"Pizza's good" I chew slowly looking at him like an innocent little girl, with the big eyes and all,

"What did she do that got you all flushed?!" Debbie makes fun of him but he couldn't stop looking at me. It was so sudden. He sits down quietly and eats his pizza, his sudden change in countenance made us explode with laughter.

Victor relaxes, "the job is done. Pleasure doing business with you Miss Ash" he exits the cafeteria with hands in his pocket.

Lilac wondered what he did that made him so confident. It didn't matter, as long as I disappear and Daylon becomes hers she's fine with whatever method.

The bell rings and kids walk out of class, I'm together with Debbie as we dump books into our lockers,

"So Eris what are you doing for the weekend?" She inquires,

"Well I'm not —"

"She's going out with me" Daylon slides in comically and puts his arm around my shoulders, he stares at me with playful eyes, maybe it's his way of getting back at me.

"I am not" I push his hands off my shoulder,

"Of course she is!" He returns his arm to its previous position, "in fact we're all going out. Right Bryan?"

"That's right!" He slides in and wraps his hand around Debbie from behind, Debbie giggles at us,

"Well that's okay but where are we going?" She holds Bryan's arms,

"Anywhere! Restaurant, funfair, movies, just name it. My treat" Debbie and Bryan coo and his ego is yet again inflated,

"I'm not sure, I am kind of busy for the weekend" and my words becomes a pin and deflate his ego,

"Come on! Just for tonight?' He pleads with puppy eyes,

"Yeah Eris, it'll be fun. Just the four of us" Bryan smiles looking at his girlfriend,

"I'm not sure" I was expecting my mother tonight,

"Please Eris, please!!" He bats his eyelashes and his blue eyes enchant me, but my mom. I heave a heavy sigh,

"Fine!" I groan out loud in defeat and they all shout for victory.

I could see the happiness and excitement in their eyes, they made me feel so special. I feel a burn in my heart that travels up to my throat, that's strange. I start to feel discomfort and a sharp pain in my brain, I get a grip of myself as I didn't want to ruin the moment. Maybe it's my powers coming to play.

We walk to the exit talking and laughing,

"Wait, I forgot my phone in class" I search my pockets for it but it isn't there,

"Go get it, we'll wait" Debbie beams,

"Thanks guys" I rush to quickly get it.

I feel a sharp pain in my heart as I reached an empty hallway, I hold one of the lockers for support as it was getting harder to breathe. I shake it off and head to the class with shaky legs.

I reach the class and I see my phone on a desk right at the back, I walk slowly to it my vision blurred and my entire body weak,

"What's happening to me?" I couldn't understand myself and I ultimately fall to the ground.

I pull myself up and grab my phone with trembling hands, I peer into the screen, my eyes were still normal. A sharp pain hits my heart and I cough violently. As I struggle for oxygen on the floor I feel a presence enter the room,

"Daylon?" I say with a weak smile, my body vibrating like a phone,

"Daylon's not here, aren't you happy to see me?" I hear a peal of sadistic laughter and feel his hand pull me up by my hair. I look into his eyes and cough violently,

"Let me go Victor!" I struggle with everything in me but unfortunately, it isn't much.
