Possession by KATHLEEN HAYAT (best fiction novels TXT) 📖

She gulped as her eyes took him in. He was tall, probably 6 ft or more. His eyes an ice shade of grey, appearing cold. Dark brown hair with tan skin, trimmed beard with sharp jawline. Her eyes blinked at the shining diamond piercing in his right ear.

She immediately lowered her gaze when she saw him staring at her intently with narrowed eyes.

The thing that confused her was his voice. It was as if she had heard it somewhere but she can't pinpoint where.

She cleared her throat when his closeness suffocated her. "Excuse me sir." She spoke in her practiced manly voice as she moved away from him, cautious of not touching him.

The guy arched his brow as he eyed the janitor, who immediately gathered his equipment and grumpily left the cafeteria.

This new janitor was way too small to be a guy, he thought weirdly.

Isabella places the equipment in the janitor room as she still has fifteen minutes before the recess can end. She decided to check out the floor, to know how big it is, as she had to clean it tomorrow.

She found a beautiful terrace with benches placed on it. She sat on one of the benches as she waited for the recess to end. Just when she heard the bell go off, she went in to clean the cafeteria.

As soon as she opened the door of the empty cafeteria. Her heart almost dropped as she stared at the sight in front of her. It was as if a tsunami went through here.

Chairs scattered here and there with wrappers and canes all over the place and at tables food was splattered all over.

She grit her teeth as her fists clenched. Without much of a thought she went straight to the principal's office, which was just beside the manager's. After a slight knock 'come in' was heard as she went in. The principal was the middle aged lady who looked frowning at the janitor.

"Ma'am I'm a new janitor here, named Ryder." Isabelle spoke politely in a male voice making the principal nod at her.

"Ma'am I didn't know if I'm worth enough to say such words but don't you think university students should be mannered enough to know why dustbins are created." Isabelle spoke politely in a male voice making the principal frown.

"Of course students know what a dustbin is. Even a five year old child knows that." Principal spoke a bit sternly, making Isabelle gulp.

"Ma'am if you could come with me for a minute. I would like to show you how full of manners  students are at this top university." Isabelle couldn't stop the sass that came in her words but the principal narrowed her eyes a bit but then stood up and indicated to Ryder to show the way.

Isabelle smiled triumphantly inside as she guided the principal towards the cafeteria and as soon as the principal got in. She gasped horrified.

"I never thought that students of such a well known university don't know why dustbins are created." Isabelle said softly but mock was there in her tone.

Principal saw the mess of the cafeteria and then she checked the dustbins which were clearly empty. Students need to learn a lesson, the principal thought as she told the Janitor to follow her and announced to get every student in the cafeteria right now along with the teachers.

Within minutes the cafeteria was full with buzzing students. A teacher clapped his hand to get the attention of students to the principal as the buzzing lowered down and everyone stared at the principal.

"Students I would ask a simple question. If anyone knows the answer then raise your hand." Principal spoke professionally as everyone nodded.

"What is a dustbin and its use?" She asked with pure mock and silenced rang in the whole cafeteria.

One girl raised her hand and spoke. "It's a bin where trash is placed!" She spoke in a duh tone making the principal to arch her brow at the students.

"Then what are y'all waiting for? Clean this mess y'all created, in ten minutes, right now. Behave like students, not like animals!" Principal spoke angrily and within seconds, everyone was picking up the trash and cleaning the cafeteria.

Isabelle was smiling all the time as she stood in the corner, seeing all of them cleaning their doings.

She didn't know but certain someone is glaring daggers in her way and soon she's getting in trouble for pulling this stunt on the students.

When they all cleaned the trash, the principal spoke up. "From now on, everyone will throw their waste and trash in the bin. If I found someone not following my sayings. There'll be detention for six months. Am I clear?" Principal asked sternly and a chorus of loud 'clear' was heard.

With that, the principal dismissed everyone as they left the cafeteria. Principal then turned to Isabelle aka Ryder the janitor as she spoke. "Thank you for informing me of such behavior, now you can do your work. If this type of behavior is observed again from students, do let me know." The principal told her softly as she also left the cafeteria.

Isabelle happily started cleaning. She was glad that her work lessened. After cleaning the whole cafeteria. She came out only to halt in her steps as the same guy from earlier was standing there staring at her intently.

She gulped and immediately turned to go to the other side but his goons came out from the side blocking her way and she gulped again.

They were two of them, both equally tall. One was more bulkier and one lean. Both handsome with sharp features. As they took a step closer to her, she stepped back only for her back to hit his front as she shrieked lowly and abruptly turned around.
