WHICH MCKENZIE

Mia watched quietly as Lonan walked down the hall with his hands snaked deep in his pockets, his backpack hanged carelessly on the left side of his shoulder.

She was about to run after him when Pearl showed up and she was the one to walk with him. Mia bit her lips and turned, walking down the path leading to the pharmacy room

She met Naomi laying on the bed, her eyes facing the ceiling.

" Naomi? "

" Bestie!! " She smiled as Mia came to hug her.

" what happened to you? "

" I broke my ankle how did you know I was here? "

" McKenzie told me. I was surprised, why did she even care? "

" uh...s-she's actually the one who brought me here... "

" she what?!. Which McKenzie are you talking about? Alexa's sister? " Mia asked

" uh-huh. It doesn't matter, I missed you "

" I missed you too. You skipped two classes "

" I know. The nurse wouldn't let me go until I had fully rested "

Mia smiled.

" are you fine now? Can you walk? "

" of course. " Naomi got off the bed and they both left the pharmacy room.

" it's Saturday tommorow. What should we do "

" uh...I haven't thought of that, "

" how about visiting Lonan? "

" what? " Mia eyed Naomi

" yeah... besides, he told us he doesn't mind if we come over anytime... "

" Naomi...you know i don't like... "

" Great! I'll come over at your house at 17h00 then we can BOTH go " Naomi empathized the 'both' and Mia sighed.

Her mind went back to how Pearl sat and smiled at him earlier.

"Who cares huh?...I'm still going to get what I want even," she muttered inwardly.

Monica suddenly drove into the premises and Mia got into the car.

" Naomi? do you have a ride? "

" yes Aunt, mom will be here in a minute "

" alright...be careful honey "

Naomi nodded with a smile and waved at them as the car drove out of sight.

Her gaze suddenly spotted McKenzie walking with Alexa.

She wanted to call out to her to thank her but her boyfriend, Austin, showed up. Naomi scoffed and looked at McKenzie for a minute before looking away.

"So, where do you live?"

Pearl asked as she walked beside Lonan to the subway station.

" why do you want to know? "

" is it wrong? I want to be your friend... "

" why? "

" can I just say I like you, for now? "

Lonan stopped walking to look at her. Pearl bit her lips shyly and Lonan noticed.

He didn't say anything as he continued walking.

" I didn't mean that to be weird, you know... "

" It was not. "

" oh...then, can you be my friend? "

" Alright. "

" wow, awesome! thank you, "

Lonan only nodded.

" can I ask something? "

" what? "

" uh...why are you wearing that mask, and those gloves?...are you like... "

" no...I like them. That's all. "

" oh, can I see your face then? "

" maybe later. We're here. "

Pearl darted her eyes forward and she smiled when she saw they'd arrived at the station.

" thanks...see you on Monday " She waved at him before getting inside the subway. Lonan nodded, then disappeared down the alley

†★ NIGHT ★†

"Put him in the icing room!"

A man, who appeared to be in his early forties growled, and immediately one of his men dragged the 10 year old boy whose body was already filled with blood due to the man's merciless beatings

The window abruptly opened, letting the night wind invade the entire room. A male figure jumped in through the window and the old man frowned.

" who are you?! GET HIM!! "

His men dashed towards the new intruder, but it seemed as if they weren't fast enough for him. The person brought out his slashed and separated the men's heads from their bodies and all of them dropped dead on the floor, covered in their own pool of blood.

The old man was terrified. He tried to observe the person but everything about him was covered, even his face.

" Dare come close and I'll end your life!! " The man warned and the person stood still.

His face turned to the unconscious boy on the floor and he missed

It didn't take a split second before his slash went flying across the room and sliced the man's head into two, and his fresh blood gushed out of his body.

The intruder let out a loud crazy laugh as he watched the blood of the dead making a small valley into the room. His laughter almost sounded unreal as if it didn't come from a human being, or did it?

The room again turned silent and the person walked towards the little boy and carried him out of the room.
