I gulped down a lump of saliva down my throat.

I just hope it wasn't what I was thinking....Have they finally found out I was the killer?!

"Ok...okay sir," I replied before walking slowly behind him, towards the office.

A few minutes later, we were already seated, on the chairs, a table apart from each other.

He picked up his phone, dialled something on it, before placing it on his ear.

"Send him in," he said into his phone before disconnecting the call and looking back at me.

I was feeling very nervous right now, fondling with my hands and playing with my fingers.

"You didn't have to bring so much shame to yourself, the school and your family," he started.

No reply.

"You weren't in school yesterday."

"Yes sir...I wasn't feeling too well," I lied.

It wasn't fully a lie though because I'm not feeling great either.

I couldn't help but ponder on what he was talking about.

"I hope you're aware that you have a case of sexual immoral behavior with the school."

So it's about the sex scandal, it has gotten to the school authorities too?!

This wasn't the first time it was happening in my school so why does mine have to be so different?

Why?!

I felt relieved it wasn't about the Veronica stuff though yet I was completely embarrassed.

"We believe you have a valid explanation for that," he continued.

"Well...I...is...." I stammered before taking a deep breathe and finally looking down.

"No sir...."

"You're trying to--" the principal was interrupted by the opening sound of the door.

I looked back, towards the direction of the door and saw Mr. Lawrence, one of the highly placed staffs of our school.

But he wasn't alone...

He was with Landor, standing tall behind him.

"He's here sir," Mr. Lawrence said before leaving the doorway and pushing him in.

Lan glared back at him before he quickly closed the door. He looked at me, then at the principal.

"You called for me," he said.

"Yeah...Landor Jackson have a seat," the principal said sternly, making Lan to aggressively drag the chair beside me out and seat on it.

I couldn't even look straight at him, this was the first time seeing him after that day...

That day that can never be erased from my memory.

I felt so ashamed to even sit right beside him, I'm sure he sees me now as a cheap girl anyone could use and dump easily.

Fuck! What was I even thinking! I regret that day to hell and I just feel like hitting my dumb head hard against the wall right now.

"I'm sure you know why you'd been called," the principal said with so much authority in his voice towards Lan.

"I don't know...and whatever you have to say...it's better you make it quick," he blandly replied.

"I believe you ain't talking to me like that?" The principal retorted, and Lan remained quiet, hitting his palm continuously and impatiently on the table.

"You're in your final year in highschool....I know that...and you probably want to explore all aspect of life but I think all that is supposed to wait till you're done and out of this prestigious school," the principal commanded and I heard Lan murmur under his breathe.

"You both still have about five months till your final exams, I believe there's still more than enough time and you still have to be patient," he continued.

"Sir...please get to the point," Lan spilled, earning a glare from the principal.

It wasn't like the principal could do anything serious to him.

His parents are one of the major contributors in the school.

Same as me though, even if my mom doesn't really have much to do with the school, she do have an amount of social reputation that speaks for itself.

"You both have a sex scandal report in your records and I believe you know exactly what I'm talking about! I try not to care about what you, young adults do but you didn't need to paint it out in the open and drag the school's name into it....you both need to be ashamed of yourself!" He spat with so much venom in his tongue.

"Didn't you even think about your parents?"

"It's not like they even care..." I heard Lan murmur under his breath.

"Why would anyone think of doing that! I see no reason why anyone will release such a private video to the open....why? For fame!"

"You know what?" Lan said, standing up and banging the table top.

"I'm done with having this conversation with you," he said before walking towards the door causing the principal and I to stand up in awe.

"Mr. Jackson!" The principal shouted, he stopped but didn't give a single glance back.

"Bring your parents to school tomorrow...and don't dare me," the principal said sternly. After that, Lan walked out and banged the door close.

The principal looked towards me who had just been quiet all along.

"Same to you too," he said and I nodded in reply.

"Get out."

I walked out as fast as I could out of the office and I was welcomed by the empty hallway.

I was finally able to breath properly, I felt so uncomfortable in there and it felt like I was going to pass out any minute.

I walked slowly through the hallway, finding my way towards my class for the second time today.

I was hearing slow, and almost silent footsteps behind me, I could feel someone's presence. I turned around and I felt all the hairs on my body stand upright when I saw Lan stand a few metres away from me.

"Why are you following me?" I asked immediately.

He started walking towards me.

"Why do you think I'll be following you...this is also the way to my class, remember?" He replied and the first sentence slapped me back to reality.

I wanted to face him, give him a piece of my mind and exactly what he deserves but I couldn't get myself to say a word.

What exactly would I even say? All my remaining confidence drained immediately I set my eyes on him.

I just felt like a used piece of trash and the fact that I had told him about Veronica was haunting me.

I just felt so hopeless.

He gave out a sarcastic hysterical laughter.

"Aren't you supposed to shout at me, insult me, mock me or maybe probably slap me hard? I thought that's what typical Stella would do if a guy hurt any of her friend's feelings," he said.

He was mute for a while.

"Oh...I get it, it's like a girl code right? Your friends were meant to do that for you.....b-u-t....I don't see them anywhere," he said with a very annoying smirk drawn on his face.

"Lan...just get away from me...Leave me alone!" I screamed at him.

"Hey...calm down...I don't bite...I know I give hickeys but that's all...nothing much."

"I almost forgot how irritating you are, you're just a fucked up asshole..." I spat.

"You can say whatever you want but that doesn't cover up the fact that the day you spent with me...last friday afternoon...is probably one of the best time you'll ever have, I mean, you may not be able find someone else as good as me," he said before bursting into a weird chuckle.

"You're psycho...you're a freaking psychopath! How will you release something like that....aren't you even a bit ashamed of yourself?"

"And why should I be? That's just an opportunity for everyone to know how good I am in bed...do you know how many ladies have been queuing up in my dm after that," he replied.

"You're disgusting," I spat.

"You were good too though....making me want to have a taste of you once again," he said in a husky tone before coming closer and getting a tight grip on my hand.

"Let go! Leave me! Get away from me!" I shouted, trying so hard to get loose from his grip but it was completely futile.

He was way stronger than me.

"Just stay calm."

"Get lost! I don't want to have anything to do with you! I hate you! You irritate me and I can't just stand you!" I screamed, still trying to get loose of his grip.

Can't someone just hear me and come to my aid.

I heard the doorbell ring, indicating the end of the first lesson period and I knew that the hallway would get filled up any moment from now.

I didn't want people oozing out and seeing me....with him. I tried to free myself but he didn't seem to budge, making me wonder if he was drunk or even high.

He pushed me back towards the wall and started kissing and nibbling roughly on my nape, using his hands to cover my mouth tightly to hold in the sound of my voice.

I struggled to free myself from the psycho caging me in.

I pushed him and I felt him flying back away from me.

I was surprised at my sudden strength until I realized it wasn't mine and I saw Lan struggling with...

Timothy?

I looked around and noticed that the once empty hall was now crowded with students and spectators.

I couldn't believe my eyes neither could I stay to watch the scene going on in front of me.

I just pulled myself together, snaked my way as silently as I could through the crowd and found my way to class.
