Lisa pov…

I awoke with a throbbing headache. I had the want to skip school and just hang out at my house by myself.

Since we currently reside in New York and my parents have business obligations in Mexico, they will be gone for some time.

I have a younger sister whose name is Victory, and she is the one who constantly refers to me as a dickhead. Well, what can I say? I am always a bully to her.

I continue to lie in bed and close my eyes in an attempt to get some shut-eye. After a while, I felt something spray water on my face; I jumped up so quickly, and as I turned around, I noticed my sister laughing at me, which made me angry.

People have said that my sister and I look alike, but they are mistaken because I am just 21 years old and my sister is just just 19.

I give pursuit to her as she descends the stairs, hoping that if I can catch up to her, I can kick her behind.

My parents have already left, and I was unable to fall or stay asleep any longer; so, I made the decision to get up and go to school, and I picked up the phone to ask my boyfriend to pick me up at my house...

After I finished what I needed to do, I exited the house and locked the door behind me. My sister had already boarded the school bus and was on her way to class, but I didn't want to deal with that type of crap now that I'm a senior...

When I was standing outside, I had the distinct impression that someone was watching me, and the air around me started to feel chilly.

I turned to my left and found a man standing there starring at me. I couldn't help but wonder why he was staring and what his motivation was for doing so.

When all of a sudden, my boyfriend pulled up in front of us and stepped out of the car, I was standing there starring at him...

Oh, baby, I'm so sorry about the delay; I was caught up in some situation, and I wasn't able to get here as quickly as I wanted to...

As my partner continued to speak, my attention was not focused on what he was saying; rather, I was still staring at the man who had begun smiling at me.

Hey there, sweetie, did you hear me?

I snapped out of my reverie to glance at my lover, who appeared to be confused by what he was saying...

Sorry jack What exactly are you trying to say to me? I'm confused.

Jack, gaze at me for a little while, then look to where I was beginning, and then look back at me...

Are you ok? Who exactly are you gazing at right now?

I felt confused and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me this morning when I looked back at the spot where the man had been standing, but he was nowhere to be found.

First, it was the headache, then it was my sister helping me with the water, and now I'm seeing a ghost, and I grin as I gaze at Jack.

Jack, don't worry about me; I'm just not quite myself today...

Jack greeted me with a smile and a nod before opening the car door for me to get in.

I was thrilled when we arrived at school, and I greeted my buddies, who together make up the best team in the school, even if most of the time we act like bullies.

It never occurred to me to start a conversation with her or even look at her while we were at school; but, when I realized that someone as insignificant as her may even be my sister...

I couldn't help but smile, and the majority of the time, my friends and I skip school in order to have fun...

I was with a large group of my buddies as we made our way down the school corridor. We hid our faces behind a locker as we waited for the prank we had planned to play out so that we could make fun of the other person.

A young lady by the name of Cara walked over to her locker, and as soon as she opened it, a bucket of ink was poured all over her body.

I burst out laughing with my pals, and when she looked at us and ran away, it made us laugh even more...

I can't believe she's still in the game, I tell my coworkers.

On that day, we had detection, which I didn't particularly care about because it was not the first time I had done detection and because I usually go home late, so what was the point...

I stopped looking at the time because today seemed to be so uninteresting, and I didn't feel like sitting through the rest of the detection class any longer...

I had noticed that after the prank I played on Cara, I hadn't seen her up to this point. I looked out the window and saw the same guy who had been staring at me in the morning looking up at me. I saw that he was holding someone in his hand, but I couldn't make out who it was; however, I could make out the stupid smile on his face.

I briefly shut my eyes and then opened them again to be sure I wasn't imagining things, but when I looked again, he was gone! I swallowed hard and had the distinct impression that I had lost my mind.

When I check the time after being in detection for close to two hours, I see that it is now 5 o'clock.

I got to my feet, gathered my belongings, and walked out the door with my companions. We decided to have some fun by going to a club and dressing provocatively; this made me pleased because I was ready for the day to be over.

Following who knows how long spent in the club, I made the decision to head home before my parents started calling.

I quickly get dressed in my school uniform so that my parents won't suspect anything, say my goodbyes to my pals, and then start walking back toward my house.

I make the decision not to phone Jack and instead walk home by myself...

I trained myself to walk more quickly so that I could get home on time. On the other hand, when I was walking, I stumbled over a stone and fell to the ground.

When I turned around, I noticed that I had a small cut on my leg, and that blood was seeping out of it.

I was on the verge of standing up when I noticed a hand reaching out to me. When I looked up, it was the same guy who had been staring at me the whole time.

Hello! He said it with a cheery tone in his voice.

I didn't make a sound or move at all; all I did was stare at him.

I pushed myself to my feet, exhaled deeply, and spoke...

Who are you and why have you been staring at me from the moment the day began?

The man kept coming closer to me while talking to me and saying...

I am Master Asher; and tell me, what is your name, my lovely.

As he was speaking, I had no choice but to pay attention to what he had to say. His eyes were captivating, and before I knew it I didn't know when the words were going to spill out right from my mouth.....

AM LIA…
