Part 15- A Killer

"It's all good, I'm doing it already" I said keeping my focus on my mopping.

"Come on, don't be upset you know how she is" he said.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I said.

"Adalina don't be mad" he said.

"I'm not" I replied.

"I know you are"

"I'm not"

"Then why aren't you looking at me?" He asked.

"I said I'm not mad!" I said unintentionally rising my voice.

Okay, now I'm pissed.

"You see, you're mad" he said approaching me.

"Stop! Stop right where you are!" I immediately warned him.

"Why can't I come to you?" He asked.

"Because I said so" I said.

"Zahara is the one after me, not me" he says.

"You let her touch you and hold you...why can't you stop her?" I asked him.

"You think she listens?" he asked instead.

"So if another girl also does that, you justify it like this? " I asked.

I felt like he wanted to say something but he was refraining himself to do so.

"You know that's not what I mean I-"

"Ah! Aslan!" we both heard Zahara yelling from the room that she was in.

We ran towards the room as Aslan got in first. She was on the floor wining in pain.

"What happened?!" Aslan alerted bend down to her checking her out.

"I think she dropped the dictionary on her foot" I stated as I saw the book on the floor near her.

"How did that even happen?!" he asked her concerned.

It was the first time I saw him showing this much care to her.

"It slipped out of my hands, I don't think I can get up" she said struggling while trying to.

"Don't move, I got you" he said lifting her up bridal style.

"Are you okay? Should I call someone?" I asked her but I was ignored.

"I'll bring her to the nurse's office, I'll be quick" he said before leaving in hurry.

Ya Allah, I hope she's fine.

For the next few hours, I finished cleaning the gym alone and now I was outside almost finishing to clean the field.

The sun was clear and shining on me as I was grabbing all the soccer balls left on the field after having cleaned all the guest area.
