Chapter 6:" You looked at me like I was some psycho horny serial killer ready to kill you."

I looked up at him and saw him smirking at me.

I gulped down and stood up.

"So, we meet again."

I just stared at him wide eyed not saying anything.

"You know, I'm going to take my revenge from you for the other day."Alastair said in a serious tone to me, looking at me straight in the eyes.

I just stood there and he was just smirking at me in a really cruel way.

And then suddenly, he started laughing out loud like a maniac.

I was so shocked that I couldn't even decipher if this was a dream or not.

Alastair closed my mouth like with his hand and continued laughing more. I didn't even realize that my mouth was hanging open.

"You should have seen your face. You looked at me like I was some psycho horny serial killer ready to kill you. It was epic!"

I quickly regained my senses and was sure that I looked like a tomato right now.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't help feel awkward at the moment.

"See you around, Mae." Alastair winked at me and left.

And I just stood rooted at my place, still not sure about what had happened.

~~~

"Is it just me or are you too quiet today?"Shantell started sounding suspicious.

"No."

"Are you alright?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes."

"Did something happen today?"

"No."

"Okay. Stop this bullshit. You only speak one word answers when something happens. So, come on spill it. What happened?"

"Nothing really happen actually."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I ran into Alastair this morning."

"And?"

"He didn't do anything. Nothing at all. Just joked with me about some sort of revenge and then started laughing out loud."

"And you are unhappy because of that?"

"No. I'm just surprised. I thought he might pull some prank on me. Because of the slap, but nothing-Zilch." I said with wide eyes.

"Isn't that great, though? Maybe he forgot all about it or just doesn't wants to bring that up again. It works the best for you."

"Yeah, maybe. Who knows what goes through his big ass head."

I sigh getting up to make some sandwiches for me and Shantell. I made sure to add some bacon in it as Shantell loves bacon like nothing else in the world.

I hand out her dish once I’m done and she smiles like a baby on Christmas. If ever a story is written about Shantell, it would be The Lover of Bacon-Shantell Woods. 

I chuckle at her as she starts eating her sandwich sitting Indian style on my bed.

I’m skyping my parents when my phone suddenly starts ringing. I jerk up because of its vibration in my pocket.

My parents give me weird a look.

Dad asks, “Are you okay, love?"

"Yeah, I am. It was just my phone."

I quickly reject the phone call without checking who it is and resume talking with my parents.

My phone keeps on vibrating the table. I have the urge to check who's calling but it would be rude to do so. So, I just ignore it for the time being.

As I bid my farewell to my parents, I grab my phone curious to see who might be calling me.

I notice that I have five miss calls-all from a private and unknown number.

I try to recall if I had given my number to someone for some work, but I can't remember anything.

I check my messages to see the same private number has messaged me fifteen times.

Messages:

Unknown: You know, you are the first person to ever to slap me besides my mother.

Unknown: I should be angry at you but, I’m not.

Unknown: I don't even know why.

Unknown: I don't even hate you, I should. But, I don't.

Unknown: Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?

All these messages were sent five minutes ago.

I knew from the first message that it was Alastair. But how did he get my number?

Maeve: Hey, it's Maeve. But you already know that since you texted me first. So just a quick question-How did you get my number?

Alastair: I'm Alastair Barton.I can have anyone's number I want. And why are you texting me, Maeve?

Maeve: Lol, are you drunk? You texted me first.

Maeve: Holy shit, you are drunk!! That's why you are texting me in the first place.

Alastair: I'm nooot drunk. Who told you that? Someone is feeding you lies, Brown.

Maeve: Where are you right now?

Alastair: I don't remember. Just some place I usually visit.

Maeve: Alright. Can you take a cab home?

Alastair: Why would I do that?

Maeve: Because you are drunk and you need to get your ass home.

Alastair: I said I’m NOT drunk.

Maeve: Alright, fine.

Alastair Barton was drunk at some place, was texting me and probably alone. I had to quickly think of some plan to get him back at his place.

Come on, think Maeve. What can you do?

Shantell was out on a date with Jayden and Amber was at Chase's place.

Yes! Jayden would know where Alastair would be.

I quickly texted Shantell and asked her to call me back ASAP.

Just as I finished changing clothes, my phone started ringing. It was Shantell.

I updated her and Jayden on Alastair’s situation.

Jayden was pissed off like hell. He knew Alastair had been acting weird all day.

He knew where Alastair would be, at some place named "The Monkey Loops". It was closer to our campus and was a 10 minutes' drive.

But, Shantell and Jayden had gone out of the city for their date and would take at least an hour to get back. They were already on their way back.

I couldn't leave Alastair all drunk out on the street for an hour or so. Who knew what he might end up doing?

So, I took my coat and decided to help him out myself.
