CHAPTER NINE

The fastest man I have ever seen

Today is 24th August and I spent another week without any other problem except Stephen. He kept sending messages and missed calls to my number continuously. I didn't bother about it because it was not my problem anymore. I went to seat in the class and took my history book because I didn't want to waste my time. I saw Stephen walk towards me while asking " you angry with me?" I had no energy to answer that question so I stayed silent. He couldn't bear it and went out of the class. 

     First period was English and Mr. Tadashi came to the class with our unit test papers. He gave the paper to me to give them to the correct person and i finished my job as soon as possible and take a look at my paper. I couldn't believe it at first getting 96 marks out of 100 then I looked at Mr. Tadashi to make sure. He gave me a smile and nodded his head expressing that there is no problem with that. I checked my mistakes and mark them down in my notebook to practice those again. I saw Stephen's paper and he got 97 out of 100 but he didn't have a smile in his face. It made me little bit upset because it seems that he is in a big problem. I hold his wrist and tried to ask the reason, but he got rid of my hand and vanish in seconds. I looked for him all around the class, but I couldn't find any trace of him. None of the students tried to figure out what happened except me. I walk towards Mr. Tadashi and asked permission to go to the washroom. I stepped outside of the classroom and searched for Stephen everywhere. Finally, I found him sitting beside a tree next to the cafeteria. I slowly walked towards him and sit beside him. I asked "do you want to talk about it? How did you walk that fast? I searched you everywhere." Then Stephen turned to my side and begun to talk. " It's a long story Tiffany, but if you want, please let me show you something. Come with me and I'll show you" He took me to the forest which was next to the school territory. We walked Deep inside and stopped near a free space. Then he vanished again, I looked for him, but as the last time I couldn't find him. He was fast as a flash and he is the fastest man I have ever seen. He talked from behind me asking " Surprised?? Don't be scared I'm not going to hurt you. I'm a werewolf." I was shocked for a moment, but then I nodded to him.
     We walked back to school since still the school is not finished. We went back to the class, but I wasn't able to talk with Stephen. The school ended after an hour and I went home without talking to anyone.
