Termianl Love

Chapter 2

The Stalker Again

Written By Natalie Gradillas

I can't believe it, I never thought I would see him again. He is the reason I got exiled in the first place. His name is Chris Keller , he is a very old ex-boyfriend, who got extremely obessive over me. He followed me everywhere after we broke up. He used to be a sweet guy but he changed. He was following me the day I gave the mayor a reason to exile me. Yeah, you can call him a snitch. That day haunts me like a nightmare, it follows me everywhere. Like whenever I close my eyes, bang!! There is the scene being played, it's like on repeat from the moment it first started. Also the sound of the guy when he stopped breathing. The look in his eyes when the light behind them faded out. I never meant to kill anyone especially the mayor's son, Dean. Seriously, everything happened so fast. He was suppose to block it, me and him were training. He got distracted from something, I still wonder where his eyes where staring at. His eyes sifted once the power ball left my hands. He forgot to block it, he was supposed to block it. He shoulbn't have looked away. If he didn't sift his eyes for that one second, he might have been alive, and I would haven't gotten exiled, then I wouldn't have met Haley. The only reason I'm still breathing right now, is because the mayor saw everyhthing that happened from Chris's eyes and mine. He saw how his son's eyes sift once the power ball left my hands. There were rumors that he wanted to die, so that he did it on perpuse. But I knew him, me and him have been buddies since we were in diapers. I also heard that he was in love with me, but I never did find out. I never really did see him like that, like I would check him out, but that was just for fun. Also, I was in a relationship with Jake, we were in love and Dean didn't want to mess with that I guess. I really never knew what was up with him, because almost almost every girl in our special school wanted him but he never paid them any attention. I always did catch him staring at me, but I never really did pay attention to his eyes, so I guess he was in love with me. I do miss his laugh and smile. He was kind of like Haley in a way. He always made my troubles disapper with just one look at him, his smile was the most wonderful thing in the world. He had the charm that calmed me down, he was everything to me. I sometimes I do wonder why I never considered him the way he considered me. I seriously think that I never wanted to lose that piece that kept me whole. Maybe that's why I'm so attached with Haley. I always did wonder who she reminded me off when that first happened, like it was the first time I really started to get homesick and I was pissed off becuase of this stupid exile thing, but when I saw her that day, she just smiled at me. That smile has helped me through tha most difficult times ever. If it wasn't for that smile, I probly would have killed myself.

I do want to ask Chris, what hell he is doing here. But that can wait, today is a school day, the only thing I really do look forward to is to see Haley again. She is the sun to my rainy day, she is everything that I need. I hope that one day she will understand that. I guess I should get ready.

After I got ready, I walk down the stairs. Peyton, as always was eating all of my favorites. She was stuffing the last biscuit in her mouth also the last bagel and muffin. So, I just smirked and went to go get the cereal. She just got even madder, when I sat down with the bowl of cereal, she left the table. I chuckled in victory.

I walked outside, it is so cold outside. It is always cold here, I seriously have no idea where I am. I did know when I first got here, but I guess I forgot. I walk dow the sidewalk and like always I hear a honk next to me. I don't even to look who it is, because its the same thing everyday. It is Felix, I think it is funny that I always end up getting a stalker. Just hilarious, he always tries to give me a ride home but I never will give him a chance. I really don't care if he is hot, he is just a jerk bag that can do what that fuck he wants except me. As usual, I ignore him and when the bus comes he gives up and leaves. It's pretty much the same every morning, whenever the bus comes, it's like he doesn't want the kids that go to our school know that he is still trying to get into my pants, but here's the fact they already do. I don't see the point why he does that, but hey saved by the bus.

When I get on the bus, I hear my name being called. As usual it is Jake and his girl, Ana. I smirk at them when I walk down to where they are sitting. There was a different atmosphere today in the bus. I can't really describe it, it's like there is strange feeling in my gut telling me that someone who isn't a student is in this bus. I never felt so paranoid, like always I try to ignore it. I do wonder who is this new person. I sit down behind Jake and his girl, I pull down the window. Jake turns around smiling, he then asks, "Don't you ever get sick by always having the window down?" I just smile at him, he just chuckles then looks at his girl. I turn my gaze to outside the window, I fall into a daydream. The scenry around me changes into the boot camp that I was sent to when I was like 5. Everyday was training, we never were allowed to have fun, the reason I got stuck there is because I accidently lit the teacher's hair on fire. Well, it's not my fault that the teacher ran out of gel so he had to use gasoline oil. What a dumbass, seriously and he knew that we were going to experiment our fire power that day. He also knew that I was always clumsy when I first try something new, everyone does, so just beacuse the teacher made that mistake, I got send to boot camp. Which did help with my cluminess, but still that was not fair. Oh well that's ancient history. I still wonder how our type of race began, like we are more advanced then our averge humen. Like we even have a name for our race, we are called the X5 Power. Yeah, what a lousy name, well we were created in a science lab. Some freak that lived in his moms basement, he created the first of our kind. That was like 100 years ago, so we are still developing a bit. We even have our own land too. Like to reguler humens, it looks like a abonded building that I guess looks haunted. Well, it's actually our land, it's very a large place. I really miss it there, I wish I can visit my old buddies, but I'm not able to. No one is really allowed to leave the land. Like the only reason someone is allowed to leave is when they are assigned to mission somewhere or when they are exiled or when they get permission. The third part never really happens, because everytime me and my buds asked, the mayors always said no. He said no to everyone who asked, so whats the point of the third one. No one really knows what is out here, they don't know how this place is developed or industrialized.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and someone is calling my name. I open my eyes and realize that I feel asleep on the way to school. It was Jake and his girl who were trying to wake me up. When I stand up, they both start to laugh. I'm pretty sure they will never let me forget this, ever.

When we got off the bus, Jake and his girl say bye to me, so he can walk Ana to class. I walk off to my locker, dang this school for having the lockers outside. I don't get it, like in movies they have the lockers inside, but in real life they are actually outside. I hate also the fact that mine is in the bottom, like guys also wolf whistle at me when I get the stuff I need from my locker. I wish I can get one that is higher. Well, no one gets what they wish for. So, when I bend over to get my materials, I felt someone slap my butt, immediatly I turn around and had their hands in mine. It was Felix, he was chuckling. I pushed him away, okay I have to confess, yes I did use my super strenghth for this. He fell into the trashcan, everyone started to laugh. But there was someone in the crowd that caught my eye, I think I just saw Chris. But when I scan the crowd again, he wasn't there. Maybe I am just seeing things, yeah that's it. Then again, I did see him this morning, maybe he was also that new guy in the bus. I just smirk at the crowd and walk away.

When I opened the door to the inside of the scool building 2. There was no one there, it was completly deserted. I start to walk to my class, I start to feel this presence behind me. I would turn around, but the intruder would hide. I could trick him, I've done it before. I pretend to go into the bathroom and when I shut the door, I use my superspeed to exit out so quickly that no human eye can see me.

I see the intruder look confuse as he turns around to face me. "Hi, Chris." I say as he looks at me. He looks at me shock, and he says, "Brooke, you weren't suppose to see me." I frown at him, "Chris, how long were you following me?". He look at the floor then scrathes the back of his head, "Brooke, I'm sorry but I can't tell you." I can't believe I'm about to do this, "Chris, do you how much I missed you?" I put my hand on his shoulder and let it slowly rub him down. He shivers from my touch. I smile in victory, "Dang, Chris have you been working out?" He smiles shakely . "So, Chris what were you going to tell me?" He starts to shake, he does that when he is nervous I seem to remember that. He clears his throat, "Brooke, I'm sorry but I have to go." He ran away, I sigh in defeat. That's the first. I turn around to walk into my class.

Once, I entered, the teacher Ms. Montez, says, "Brooke, your late, again." I smile as the class laughs. I walk to my seat and sit down. I turn around and face Haley smile at me. I smile at her, God, I'm in love with her. I want kiss those irrestible lips. Dammit!!! That dream is in my head now!!! I feel my body go into heat, I nod at her and turn around. I raise my hand, I start to feel a shiver go down my body. Ms. Montez says, "Yes, Ms. Davis what do you want?" Wow, what a nice teacher. "Miss, I really need to go to the bathroom." She sighs and nods. I get up and speed walk to the bathroom.

The last bell rings as everyone run home or somewhere else. I run up behind Haley and put my hands on her eyes. I never say 'guess who?' so I'm not starting now. She grabs my hands and turns around to see who it is. We both smile at the same time. I hug her, her hair is in my face. Her hair smells so wonderful, I ususally hate coconuts but she makes them smell so irrestible. She pulls away and smiles at me. I grab her hand and walk her to the bus. She laughs as I tell her what happened to Felix this morning.

We stop in front the bus, she hugs me. I look at her face, "Haley, what do you want to do today?" She smiles as an idea pops in her head.

We both run down the sidewalk toward the lake. She says, "Hey, do you want to do something insane?" My mind says "please say skinny dipping please say skinny dipping!!" I smile and say, "Sure, what?" She runs to the lake and undress as she jumps into the lake but she stop when she was showing her bra and pantis. My head went mad. Man, why am I such a perve? I run to the lake and jump in with my clothes still on.

I feel a pat on my back, I felt my eyes were closed. Dammit! Why do I keep on having these dreams? I open my eyes then turn around and see Haley smiling at me. I look in her eyes and see some humor in them. I feel a chuckle in my throat when I ask, "What?". She laughs as she hits me on the back. I giggle while I stand up, we where at the lake, how uncanny is that? I ask her while I admire the tree next to us, "How the hell did we get here?". She laughs, "Well, you mumble in your dream that you wanted to go to the lake. So, I had some help from Jake.". I laugh along with her, "Hey Brooke, what were you talking about when you said please say skinny dipping?". I felt my face get hot so it was probaly was red. I just look away with a laugh. She laughs with me then asks, "Brooke, were you dreaming about skinny dipping with your special someone?". I guess you can call yourself that, "Yeah, I was." She looks at me with curiousty in her eyes, "Who is it?". You. It's always been you Haley. "Oh, its.....I don't want to say." She smiles at me while she rolls her eyes, "Brooke, you don't trust me?" I smile at her, I trust her more than anyone, I might even trust her with my heart, but not sure with that yet. "Yeah, I do. You know that. I just... It's a privite dream that I feel embarss to even talk about." She chuckles then looks at the lake, "Brooke, that seriously have never stop you before." I laugh with her, yeah that's true I use to be like that, well this is one private thing I hope she might find out someday but not today. I know this isn't healthy but when has that ever stop anyone? I admire her while she looks at the sunsets reflection on the lake, she whispers, "It's so bueatiful." I smile at her and whisper, "Yeah, it is." Before she turns around to see me, I look up at the sunset so she would think that I really was looking at it. I know this has happen in so many romantic movies, but it actually does happen. We automatically start to laugh for no reason, while the laughter erupted out of us, I notice Chris staring at us. Man he can't take a break. Seriously, why did I ever go out with him? Was I really that desperate? Guess I was. Haley must have notice me looking into the distance, she asks, "Hey, what are you looking at?" I look back at her, "Nothing, just admiring the scenry." She laughs at my lie then she sighs. I look at her and notice the change in her face, "Haley, what's wrong?" She looks at me with a serious face and sincere eyes. I feel the smile disappear from my face as she started, "Brooke there is something I want to tell you." Maybe she might confess her undying love to me. Yeah, that would be the day a pig flies across the moon. I look at her as her eyes get moist, "Brooke, I don't want anything to destroy our friendship. So, I want to come clean with something." Say you love me more than a friend, say it, say it!!! "Brooke, I think that I might be..."
