7 Alliance (1/2)
I woke up with my head clouded with everything it can, from receiving that first note to the moment I was pushed over the roof, I felt like my head would burst with the all the overthinking. I need to talk it out but the only person I could think of to talk about all this stuff was Shaun who has been giving me a cold shoulder.
What if he pushes me away again. But he knows about that man in the black hoodie, he even saved my life not once but thrice I should tell him about the notes and ask for his help to trace that man.
I was determined to tell him.
”Shaun, we need to talk.” I turned to him as soon as the teacher left the class.
”Okay, I'll meet you at the music room after class,” he responded without looking at me.
I nodded.
The class ended, I went straight to the music room and waited for Shaun. He intentionally came a few minutes later as if he was trying to hide our meet up.
”What do you want to talk about Claire?”
”Is that a question? Isn't it obvious what I would want to talk about to you?”
”So it wasn't your first time seeing that man?”
”I have seen him before twice. Once when I tried to catch him leaving the note on the spot and the other time was the day before yesterday when he left a message for me.”
I said thoughtfully looking at the wall.
”What-ttt! You tried to catch him! Like this? By yourself?”
”Yeah, what's so unbelievable in that?” I raised my brows.
”That's dangerous Claire, he could have done anything to you, he even tried to kill you yesterday. And what notes are you talking about?”
I took out all the notes I had received and handed it over to him.
”They first started coming at the end of last month, it was the day after you transferred. They stopped coming for a while but then I got this note.” I handed him the last note I got telling me to stay away from him.
”Why didn't you tell me about this before.”
”Seriously! You have been rejecting me all this time. How could I? Well, I even suspected you to be behind this. You see how the writing on the notes matches yours. Was he trying to frame you?”
”It could be possible. But he asked you to stay away from me.”
”It is because he can't hurt me when I'm with you.”
”No, it means he'll keep hurting you if you stay close to me.”
”But why is that so?”
”I need to find him and ask him all this.”
”Do you want to do this together?”
”No! You stay away from all this.” he snapped.
”What do you mean, I'm the one being attacked. I know you don't want to get close to me, but let's just do this if not as friends then as allies.” I said shrugging my shoulders.
”I can do this alone, you won't be any help to me.”
”How could you say that? I know more about that man in the black hoodie than you.” I smirked.
”What do you know, tell me right now Claire.” He pleaded.
”After we ally.” I extended my hand for a handshake.
”Are you really going to be like this?”
”Yeah, if you don't want to, then I can search for him alone.” I moved my hand back.
”Alright, alright. Let's do this together.” He grabbed my hand. ”But we're allies just to find him nothing more.”
