“Why can’t I stop shaking and who is that?” I said out loud. Matts attention turned to me gripping me harder than before. The silhouette was walking towards us. I felt scared I couldn’t move, why wasn’t Matt answering me? The silhouette was only a few steps away from me It was a man he looked angry and he was looking straight at me with his piercing deep sea blue eyes, he was tall about 6 foot 2, with black shiny hair and extremely muscular, I suddenly felt scared. I was ripped out of my brothers arms and into his, he smiled an evil smile. I tried to scream to draw other people’s attention but my mouth was covered and his head was lowered towards my ear I could smell rust coming off his mouth it reminded me of blood, “don’t waste your breath, they can’t hear you. They can’t see…” His voice was familiar it was the voice in my head. I’m going crazy, I need help! Matt had tackled the blue eyed man to the floor, I feel too. I had no idea how fast Matt was the second he hit the man he grabbed my hand and ran into the airport the man just laid there he looked furious. “I’ll get her eventuallyyy…” said the blue eyed man in a low voice. I turned my head to look at him, he was gone?. “Are you okay?” matt said again for the second time today, I was starting to get annoyed.
“What the hell just happened shouldn’t we call the cops or something?” I was still shaking and my voice was extremely quiet.
Matt grabbed my hand we walked to a shop, he bought water, and I drank it fast, my throat burned.
“Don’t worry about what happened there it was just some kid playing a joke on me by using you” Matt said this in a serious tone, there was something I was missing that he didn’t want me to know. I decided there and then I wasn’t going to push the matter; I was scared out of my mind I wanted to get the hell out of here. Matt continued “also don’t tell anyone what happened here okay not even mom and dad?” it was more like a demand when he said that. “I won’t tell anyone, but when you’re ready to tell me what just happened to me will you tell me the truth?” I asked Matt a little scared of him to.
He pulled me into a bear hug he looked sad, the fear I felt vanished “I will, I promise” Matt said assuring me. I couldn’t even be trusted to know what just happened! I’m not weak Matt! I thought.
That whole event reminded me of the time I was nearly kidnapped when I was nine, I shuttered.
The plane ride went in blur I was so freaked out with what happened it made me exhausted I slept for the entire ride. Matt woke me up when we landed I was groggy, he laughed I hit him. I was basically leaning against him the entire time out of the airport in west port. The air was nice and cooling it was 5pm here. We got into the taxi which drove us to the boarding school. Me and Matt never talked about what happened in Oakland again. He helped me take my bad out of the car when we reached west port academy. Matt obviously knew his way around, this place was huge! It scared me; I could get lost and never be found. Matt opened a door to the reception area.
“Hello how can I help you?” the blond hair lady said. “Hi my name is Mathew Mason, and this is my sister Ruka Mason she is a new student here, could you please tell me her dorm number and give me here class schedule along with mine. Thank you”. Matt said with a smile. I could of asked for all this myself, but as usual my over protective brother thought I was incompetent to do so.
“Oh yes just take a seat there while I get everything ready for you” said the receptionist with enthusiasm it made me feel sick. We took our seats and ten minutes later she called us back to her “ Hi Ruka this is you class schedule, classes start in 2 days so you’re welcome to look around school, I’m sure you big brother here can show you around the place. That is if you don’t mind Matthew” she said with a smile while handing Matt his schedule. The receptionist continued with a frown on her face “as for your dorm room I’m sorry, I know you asked for a room by yourself, but right now there are none available, I’m sorry. You will be sharing a room with a girl called Kerry, she’s two years ahead of you. Since your application was late to attend this school your sleeping arrangement you wanted were unable to be provided.” Just what I needed, I hate this school already, Matt talked before I could say anything. “That’s fine don’t worry about it.” Don’t worry about it! They sent a stupid letter saying I got a single room just for ME! Stupid school, it was the one thing I ssked for! I hate my life!
“Okay well you’re in the girls dorm obviously” she joked I rolled my eyes “you are in room 308 on the highest floor, there are nice views from up there” she said, as if that would make things better. Me and Matt both said thank you, she handed me a map of the school, Matt helped me with my bags and we were off to my room.
“Guys aren’t allowed in the girls dorms after 8:30pm and vice versa”, he said with a laugh. I sighed “how about we go to your dorm first so I know where you are when I need you” I said with a serious tone.
“Sure” he said. On the way to the boys dorm I looked out to see the schools environment, It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was it was kinda welcoming, but it was dark, there were a few lights between the girls and guys dorms it didn’t look to bad for 6pm at night. The buildings were tall made of stone it looked centuries old. We entered the boys dorms there were a few boys around all looking at me and Matt, can’t they see I can see them staring, jerks! It looked all new inside all modern, it didn’t suit the building’s exterior, bright and colourful on the inside, darks and scary on the outside. We took many turns to get to Matts room, I was tired from all the walking already! Matts room was on the second floor room 203. There was shuffling going on his room, Matt tensed and positioned me behind him, he opened the door. “Lucas, you gave me freight, what are you doing?”
“Sorry Matt I thought I’d change the positions our bed faced” Lucas said with a laugh. He was moving the beds to stare out the window? Strange I wouldn’t want to do that, waking up to the sun every morning I would hate that.
“Lucas this is my sister Ruka, Ruka this is Lucas my best friend” Matt introduced us, I was shocked when I saw his eyes they were the colour green the deepest darkest coloured green eyes I had seen, reminded me of my dream, I started to breath heavily, instantly Matt pulled me to him, eyes full of concern. “We should take you to the nurse, you’ve had one hell of a bad day” he said with a smile. “I’m fine, could we…”, I was cut off when I heard the voice in my head again “Rukaaa I’m cominggg forrr youuu…”, I started shaking like I did when we were at the airport and I fainted in my brothers room. When I woke up Matt and Lucas were no longer in the room, it looked dark outside it was 9pm. I heard people talking outside the room, I stayed still in the bed so I could hear. “he found us at the airport” it was Matt talking, but who was he talking to? “how dare he come near her, he hurt her last time what is he planning this time” It was Lucas, he was talking with so much anger it confused me, what were they talking about? It sounded like they were talking about me but the rest just didn’t make sense last time?, what happened last time? Just as I got out of bed Lucas came into the room, I was still dizzy from fainting that I collapsed onto the floor, Lucas caught me just in time, his arms were around my waist gently, he helped me stand up, he looked gorgeous his eyes were beautiful, his face was full of concern looking at me my heart speed up. “Thank you” I said very quietly. He smiled “It’s okay, I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself on your first day at the boarding school”, he chuckled. His voice was beautiful to, I blushed god this is embarrassing. “I heard you and Matt talking, it seem like one of you were angry, I couldn’t hear much, what were you talking about?” I lied I don’t want to seem like an ears dropper. “it was nothing just guy stuff”, great another person in my life that doesn’t want to tell me anything even if it has something to do with me, I decided then that I didn’t want to know him any more than I already did. “Oh okay, where Matt?” I said tiredly. “He’s gone to get us dinner; Matt said you hadn’t eaten all day except for breakfast. Maybe that’s why you passed out”. “Yeah maybe,” I realized Lucas was still holding me, I think he realized too then, he let go of me. I got up to get out of the room, it felt stuffy after fainting, Lucas grabbed my hand “where do you think you’re going?” he said questioningly. I stared at the arm he grabbed he released it, why should I tell him where I was going? I sighed “just outside I need air”. “I’ll come too then” Lucas said. “No you don’t need to” I said with a little force, the hatred was coming out now. Matt opened the door “finally your awake you were out for an hour or so, I’ve put your bags in your dorm and made your bed. I rang Mom and Dad to let them know we have arrived I said you were sleeping, I bought nachos from the cafeteria for dinner”. Then he stared at us like he just interrupted something, he shrugged and put the 3 plates of nachos on the table. “I’m not hungry right now, but thank you. Can you show me to my room when you’re done?” I asked Matt ignoring Lucas.
As usual he looked worried since I choose not to eat. “Just eat a little please, I’ll show you after were done okay”. “Fine” I said. I picked at my food. Lucas and Matt talked the entire time, talking about their time apart and what they were up to. I sat there bored. Once we were done Matt showed me to my room where I was going to meet my roommate eventually, Lucas decided to tag along. Just before we left Matt said something “Oh I forgot to tell you, your room mates already here, I also forgot to tell you… ummm, don’t be mad okay, I didn’t plan it. Your roommate is my girlfriend” Lucas laughed. Oh my god, all I could think was when Matts not babysitting me, his girlfriends going to be babysitting me! I already hate her; the hate towards Matt was starting to grow too. “I didn’t tell you earlier because I didn’t want to make you angry” Matt said pleading. “I think she already is” Lucas laughed harder. I kept my mouth shut, that’s it he’s getting the silent treatment, I don’t care how childish this is, I’m not talking to Matt, Lucas was enjoying this, im going to try and avoid him to, He most probably already been recruited to spy on me just as Kerry!
We reached my dorm, Matt opened the door Kerry hugged Matt straight away, thank god they didn’t kiss in front of me gag. Matt introduced us, I said very little, she offered to show me around the school, she looked nice but whatever I talked about to her it would eventually hit Matts ears. I had to be careful around her. Matt and Lucas left my room around 11pm, Matt said he would see me outside the girls dorms at 10am tomorrow. Kerry and Lucas were going to tag along while Matt showed me around. Once they left I went to the Bathroom got changed into my pj’s said goodnight to Kerry and feel asleep instantly.
