Stalking
The moment Mason stepped out of the building, into the late afternoon sun, his phone buzzed with a notification, but he ignored it. He was happy; even the taxi man noticed it as he slid into the passenger seat. "Good day to you, sir," Mason greeted, then averted his gaze to the incoming call. He slips his hand into his pocket and pulls out the phone.The driver with a broad smile glanced at him through the rearview mirror. “Where to, sir?”Mason pulled his gaze from the glowing screen. “The most expensive gift shop in town,” he replied.The driver furrowed his brow, chuckling at the enthusiasm ringing in his tone. He nodded and turned the key in the ignition, and the engine roared to life, slipping through the bustling streets.When Mason returned his gaze to the screen, he noticed another call coming in, and a smile crept across his lips. He slid his finger across the screen to answer the call. “The number you’re trying to reach is not available at the moment,” he muttered, mimickin
Hallway
Whispers lingered through the hallways, attracting the attention of students leaning in for the latest gossip. “Did you hear? Mason Williams just asked the most beautiful girl in our department out on a date!” One voice exclaimed, barely able to mask the amusement and disbelief. The interest in the room shifted as students turned their gazes toward the direction Mason had walked, then to Cleopatra, who was gracefully walking away with her group of friends, their laughter echoing through the late afternoon sun. "This is exciting! Where do you think they are going?" A girl asked. “How will I know?” another voice replied. "I bet it wouldn't be an expensive restaurant, which Cleopatra is used to," the girl said in an assumptive tone. "He will definitely spend all his life savings just to impress her. Cleopatra isn’t easily impressed," a boy lingering behind the crowd, said his tone, speaking from experience. "I can't wait!" another girl said excitedly, prompting her friends to chuc
Making Plans
The chatter from the crowd increases, reverberating through the air. Students who hadn't overcome the incident glued their eyes to the figure, wondering how someone who couldn't swim could rescue someone from drowning.“I just can’t believe that just happened!” a girl muttered, turning to her friend, who mirrored her wide-eyed expression. They shifted their gaze from the stretcher wheeling away to Mason.“I can't believe how easily someone could lose their life! What if Mason had chosen to ignore the situation like we did?” Another girl muttered, her voice dropping to a whisper. A cold silence lingers among the group. The sound of the approaching footsteps caught the students’ attention, and they shifted their gaze to Ms. Sonia. The relief washed over her face, and she made several prompted sighs of relief to escape the students.“I’m glad to share some good news,” Ms. Sonia said, scanning through the once worried crowd. “According to the medical staff, Naomi is going to be fine. She
A Cry For Help
As if time itself had paused, leaving Mason with a whirlwind of thoughts. The loud noise of conversation and laughter abruptly pulled him back to reality. He glanced across the pool at the crowd crammed at the edge, their eager faces focused on a conversation that rippled through the group like water.A sudden splash echoed through the chatter, snapping Mason’s attention toward the pool. Unlike his peers, who merely cast fleeting glances at the disturbance before returning their attention to Jacob, Mason leaned in with a furrowed brow deepening with concern. He scanned the pool's surface, a shiver running through his veins as he recalled moments when playful splashes had turned into something much more serious.Seconds ticked by, and when no one surfaced after the disturbance, an unsettling feeling began to churn in his stomach. 'Something is wrong!' his instincts screamed. With a sudden burst of urgency, he sprang from the bench, tossing his buzzing phone toward Cleopatra, who had

Several curious eyes drifted from the pool to the spot where Mason and Cleopatra were sitting. When they failed to see the connection between the two, they turned their attention back to the girl who had made the announcement.“What on earth are you yapping about?” someone from the crowd murmur with incredulity, lacing her tone. “Why would you lie about Mason kissing Cleopatra?”The girl, who had indeed noticed how close the two were earlier, glanced at her colleague earnestly. “I swear I saw them!” She paused, scanning the faces of her peers, who furrowed their brow skeptically at her words. “For Christ’s sake, they were this close!” she exclaimed, holding her hands together to illustrate.Flora, leaning against the wall with arms crossed, scoffed at the girl's explanation. “Can you stop lying already?” she snapped.The girl quickly forced down a lump as she met her gaze. Flora, seeing her expression, leaned forward. “Do you know how rich and attractive Cleopatra is? How dare you rom
Swimming 1
"How does someone's background determine if they can swim or not?" a familiar voice inquired. The incredulity in her tone made a warm flutter in Mason's chest as he turned to see Cleopatra. Since he left their classroom with Jeremiah, Mason hadn't seen her, but now her swimsuit made several heads roll in her direction.Her hair, which Mason remembered was usually in a ponytail, dropped freely on her back.Jacob, to whom the question was directed, felt a lump tighten in his throat. His gaze wandered around Cleopatra before a shivering smile flickered on his lips as he searched for the right words.Just as he opened his mouth to respond, Cleopatra cut in. “I can’t swim either. Does that have anything to do with my background?” Her question hung in the air, prompting Jacob to swallow hard with the knot in his throat. He pulled his gaze from the frown forming on Cleopatra's face. Jacob shrugged his shoulders. “That's different—” He paused, and Mason could see he was contemplating which
