Beyond Shadows (11th entry)

Ameylia White
12:41pm

He was so unbelievable. I couldn't believe he admitted it that easy.I meant, stalking was a serious matter and yet he claimed to do it without second thought. He even smiled. He managed to. Things were getting complicated. I didn't know but, there was this instinct telling me that we were somewhat connected. A link? But how? Why?

I didn't know, I really didn't. Dammit. Why did I walk out anyway? I could have answers from him if I wanted to, but I walked out! No, Ameylia. He was just so tough. He didn't want to give me answers. He didn't tell me exactly why he was following me. It was the biggest question, and the most important. I heard many stories like this one. Like, those of the celebrities. But I was not a superstar to attract maniacs like him. Ah! I was so frustrated. I couldn't handle him. Now that I knew it was him, I was more anxious about this guy. I didn't think I could talk to him once more. Or even look at him. Okay, that was it. I would just avoid him. Ignore him all year round. Until we separated ways.

I saw Shane coming with a tray of burger and her favorite soda. She sat beside me with a wide grin.
"Diet?" I said as I started to munch my sandwich I left frozen in the tray because of wondering about Brian.
"Not really. Alex told me I'm gettin' fat so...I'll just have these for lunch."
"You mean, THIS? You think a burger can burn your fats?"
"Haha. So, hello with your sandwich," and she grabbed the can and opened it.
She was talking about Alex, as usual, again when something caught our eyes. It was Morgan and his gang. Wait, were they approaching us?
"Hey, yo, Amy...So...how's your dandy dude?" Laugh from his friends.
"What?"
"Hey, Morgan, you want a burger?"Shane called innocently.
"Look, I don't know what you're talking about. I think it's better if you just leave us alone." Irritation was in my voice. If I couldn't handle O'Connor, worse of Morgan.
"Nah way. What? After your boyfriend made a hell of me?"
"Boyfriend? Are you nuts? I don't have..."
"ha! Denying him? He's gonna be very, very mad at ya baby. Hey, listen Amy..."
"For heaven's sake Morgan. Don't call me that way like you...know me" And I stood losing my temper on him. We were face to face and I could clearly see his black eyes.
Shane stood by me too, grasping my arm. She knew I was a low- tempered woman. And that I didn't back off from guys.
"Forgot what he told you?" I heard Shane broke the silence. "He said, stay away from her or you'll be dead."
I saw Morgan choked. What was that all about? After one last look, Morgan left.
I looked at Shane who went back to her food like nothing happened. I sat beside her and noticed she was staring at me.
"Something to say Shane?"
"Nothing yet. But...you, you have something to disclose today."
"Me?"
"Yeah, you." She leaned over to come closer."Tell me about Brian."

I felt my blood raced to my face when I heard his name. Did Shane knew about it already? But how?
"W- what are you saying? I- I don't know anything about him." I said nervously spilling some juice from the can I bought. And oh, it was warm now.
"Relax. Why are you so nervous hearing his name?" She laughed.
"Stop it Shane.Just tell who the HE you were pertaining to Morgan."
"Oh, It's him."
"Him? Who's he? C'mon Shane I-"
"Brian O'Connor"
"W-what do you mean?"
She munched her food again and savor it for some seconds before speaking.
"I saw them, he and Morgan. On the hallway. They were talking but i wasn't able to hear it. I was too distant. But ah...I think Morgan somewhat offended him that he just...grabbed him and slammed him on the lockers. I, I was about to stop them wen I heard your name. Brian was warning Morgan about playing dirty tricks on you. He said 'hands off her'"
I needed time to collect myself. "He...did that? I mean, we- we barely know each other."
"I know. At first, I was confused about it too but, you see, Morgan have just proven my speculations." She smiled at me once more."Maybe he likes you."
"You shut up Shane!" I nearly fell off my seat while she was laughing at me.
"Well, no one can be certain of that. O'Connor's one man, aloof with others. He used to be alone but, I'm sure of one thing Amy."
"What?" I said spying around to track him. In a snap,I was conscious that he was around. I didn't want him to hear that we were talking about him.
"Whatever Morgan told him about you, it offended him."
