"The Magical Kill" by Christina.D (trending books to read .txt) 📖

to my locker that was all the way at the other side of the room. My locker code was my birth year, somehow that took a few tries before it opened.
‘Hey, are you new?’ a female voice said behind me, when I turned a girl a bit smaller then me with brown hair and cat green eyes was leering at me like she has never even seen a human before.
‘Yeah, I’m Christina’ I stretched my hand out to shake her hand, but instead she hugged me.
‘Nice to meet you I’m Saphire and I have the locker next to you.’ She released me and gave me a bright, warming smile. I couldn’t help but smile back. However, before I could respond a male voice alarmed me and by Saphire’s reaction she was frightened to.
‘Saphire, you really need to stop hugging random people!’ When I turned I saw two guys standing looking at us. One was standing with his hands crossed, and the other one was just looking at us with a grin on his face.
‘She’s not some random person. She’s my friend.’ When Saphire said that, it made me warm inside, because the last time someone called me a friend was in my old school. Knowing that someone would call me that on a first day is surprising and yet it makes me happy.
‘So what’s her name?’ the other guy asked with the grin still on his face.
‘Christina. She’s new.’ Saphire got a book out of her locker and linked my arm. ‘Were going outside. Would you like to join us?’
‘Yeah.’ The guy with crossed hands smiled and nodded his head in agreement to the grinning guy.


Chapter 5

We went outside where Saphire introduced us. It turns out the guy with the grinning smile was called Shane; he has black hair and blue eyes. Just like his brother, the other guy who’s name is Jason. It turns out Jason is Saphire’s boyfriend, which doesn’t really surprise me by the way he acts protective over her. Jason is in year 13, as Shane is in our year, year 11. Jason is much happier then Shane and they look so different, but yet so the same.
‘So where did you come from?’ Saphire asked me finishing her story of what she did this morning.
‘South Dakota’ I replied as soon as she asked the question and they all looked at me shocked.
‘Wow, well that’s far away from here, what made you come?’ Shane asked with a questioning face.
‘Well Arizona is a nice place, especially here in Eloy.’ I smiled at him; he smiled back but still had a puzzled look on his face. He was about to ask a question but the bell rang and we headed to maths.
The rest of the day went quickly I had Saphire in some of my lessons and most of my lessons i had Shane but we didn’t talk much just smiled at each other, and he asked the teachers if I can sit next to him.
I met Michel outside the school with Shane as we both had History last. Michel looked him up and down didn’t say anything apart from you look like a guy in year 13, but Shane just smiled at me, said see you tomorrow and walked away.
When we got home Misty already made dinner and we ate in silence. We never talk much at the dinner table. When we were small, we used to argue about what happened in the day and mum and dad used to listen, and then laugh at us with bright smiles. They never let us be sad, after dinner we used to play games that always made our arguments fall into nothing.
Now when I’m laying here in bed, it makes me realise that i missed my old life even though I was sentenced to die for all the black magic that I did.

Chapter 6

The day I wanted to die again, two weeks before passed like minutes, nothing happened much. Lunch times me, Shane, David, Saphire, Michel and Jayson would usually sit outside in the warm sun talking about nothing. My mind is usually of somewhere else and Shane talked me back to the normal world.It took one call for my name and his breath next to my ear to wake me, when his fingers run through my hair and gently down my cheek i want to stay in those moments forever.I think I like him but I cant me shore for nothing anymore. I don’t know my feelings, because when David looks at me, it makes me melt as much as when Shane looks at me.Almost.
Shane pulled me to the field outside the entrance at break.
‘There’s a restaurant that just opened.’ Shane said looking deep into my eyes. ‘I was wondering if you would go with me to check it out?’He held my hands tightly.
‘Are you asking me out on a date?’ I said it in the exact surprise as I thought it, because I knew I like him but I didn’t suspect that he liked me too.
‘Well yeah. Yeah. Yeah I am.’ He smiled at me which made me want to melt into him. I agreed to go and I knew that now. Maybe. My life is turning in a good direction. I was really wrong.
When I walked in the building David said that he wanted to talk to me. We went into a classroom that was empty.It made that little bit more uncomfortable.
‘Well. What did you want to talk about?’ I asked in an idea that he was going to ask me something about Michel.
‘Do you want to go out with me sometime?’ He said, with his eyes closed. When he opened them he smiled.I didn't know how i should react
‘I can’t, I’m going on a date with Shane.’ I didn’t know if i could say that yet, but i didn’t want to go anywhere with David, as he is cute but he’s my brothers friend, It would be too weird.
David looked at me as if I was an object and said with no feelings at all.
‘But does he know you killed your parents? I don’t think he would want to go out with you then? Should we ask him?’ My heart stopped. I didn’t understand how he knew. I didn’t understand why he would say that. Why now?
He grabbed my hand and started dragging me outside; it was raining. Shane was in the corridor, when he saw me being dragged by David he jogged up and tried to push him. David was to strong and pushed him out the way and stepped outside with me. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t think. The only thing in my head was the fact he said you killed your parents

. I bit my lip and it started bleeding. My tears started running, but they mixed with the rain to make my pain greater. Shane ran behind us towards and punched David in the face.
‘What the hell do you think you’re doing? Leave Christina alone!’ Shane tried picking me up but i slapped him away and fell on the floor. The only thing I could think of is that I’m a killer.
‘Go on Christina tell him! Tell him what you did!’ David shouted with blood coming out of his nose.You could here the happiness in his voice.
‘What is he talking about?’ Shane crouched next to me and whipped all the rain of his face and then mine. He looked into my eyes and pleaded for an explanation. I was in love.
Now i have to end my happiness again.
‘I killed my parents!’ the sentence in my head going over and over spilled out. I started rocking front to back, remembering the touch, the sound, the smell of my mum and dad. It hurt.
Then I saw Shane's face and it hurt even more.
But nothing ever made me feel like i would want to die when Shane looked at me with disgust and tears in his eyes.
‘You freak, you need your head sorted out’ He walked away leaving me and David outside. I died. I died on the inside.
