39 Decision (2/2)

Without further ado, she twisted the doorknob

When she entered, there was an elderly man with a bald head smiled at her. He seemed in his mid-sixties, Lydia couldn't tell, but he looked rather fit for his old age.

”Lydia Marin, aren't you wonderful. Looks like my granddaughter was right.” Seeing Lydia coming in, elder smiled friendly.

”You must be confused, please take a seat, I'm, the new principle. My name is Gerard Argent, you can call me Gerard”

Lydia's eyes shoot up, so he was the one Max talked about ”Why did you call me here?”

Gerard kept his 'friendly' smile and opened a file ”I was just checking about students and notice your profile. I have to say I'm impressed. You are an academic genius, although there is no extracurricular you are one of the brightest students we have here.”

”What is your point?” Lydia asked calmly trying to hide her restless eyes. This person starting to creep her out, there was something dark about him she couldn't stand.

Suddenly, that feeling grew stronger, everything around her quite down. Every single sound erased from her audible range. Only a tickling sound of the clock remained.

With every tik, Lydia heard wipers of unknown. It saying something about someone dying, soon. Suddenly a wind flew past, drawing her attention toward Gerard. His mouth moving nonstop but Lydia couldn't hear him.

She was confused,

Suddenly everything became clear, an understanding light came to her face,

it was him,

Gerard the one going to die.

As soon as Lydia comprehend the message behind whispers it stopped.

As if nothing happened.

”...So Lydia, Where is your boyfriend? Mr Winchester?”

Only the last bit of Gerard's word reached her. Unconsciously she gave him a strange look ”He went out of town for a few days, he won't be attending school for some time”

”Is that so?! I really want to meet him. Alright, you can go now”

”Thank you”

Although Gerard's reasons are unclear, soon as Gerard gave permission, Lydia stood up and walk toward the door. She wished nothing more than to get away from this creepy dying old man.

”Looks like I have to use the other one to achieve my goal” Gerard frowned looking at Lydia's back. His friendly face vanished replacing a cunning and cruel face.

When Lydia open the door, the sheriff was standing there, ready to knock on the door. she nodded him and quietly stroll toward the classroom. Because of the distraction caused by Sheriff, Lydia missed the low muttering of Gerard. Maybe with her newly heightened senses, she might have heard it, if not for Stiles's father being there, distracting her, some more.

”Sheriff Stilinski, come, on in, I was expecting you,” Gerard invited Sheriff inside with a same friendly smile.
