I woke up with a heavy headache despite that I quickly got dressed, today is Monday which means school again.
And I hate missing school, my dad not being around leaves me with only three options either I follow the school bus or I walk to school and I didn't want to do both.
So am going for the third option calling zion
It rang too many times before it finally connected.
"Hey limah" Zion rasped, his vioce still thick from sleep.
"Hey" I whispered.
"I'm sorry for waking you up"
"No no no don't apologise"
"Eventually I would still get up so no need to be sorry" he added.
"Uhmm Zion I was wondering if you could come pick me up on your way to school"
"My dad is not around" I added quickly.
"Yeah sure limah"
"I better quickly freshen up" Zion said yawning.
"Alright see ya"
"Bye"
With that he hung up.
Thirty minutes later I could here the honk of a car outside, which means Zion is here.
I quickly ran outside, locking the door behind me.
"Oh my I forget my glasses" I said rushing back inside
When I came out again for the second time.
Zion was sitting on the hood of his car scrolling through his phone looking more handsome than ever.
Immediately he saw me, he jumped down quickly, opening the door for me.
"Hey" zion said smiling widely at me.
"Hi" I replied smiling slightly.
"Come on get it in" he said pointing at the opened door.
I got in quickly muttering a small "thank you."
"Seat belt" Zion said when he got in.
I quickly fastened up my seat belt and turn to face him
"Is that all" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"yeah"
"We are ready to go" Zion added
I really wanted to ask ziom about Xavier it's been bothering my mind for a while, I wasn't lucky enough to get answers from xavier, but am positive I would get something out of zion.
"Limah you okay"
"Have been calling you for a while now you didn't even notice" Zion added.
"What's on your mind" he asked I could see the worried expression on his face.
"Uh-umm" I started talking but zion cut me off.
"Let's go we talk on our way to class" he suggested
I didn't even noticed we already gotten to school.
This time I still got nasty stares from people but decided to brush it off.
"So what's up" zion asked when we got to my locker.
"Uhmm Zion" I said playing with my fingers.
"Yeah!!" He urged
"Limah what's up with all this nervousness you scaring me" Zion added
"Just tell me" Zion said walking to his locker gesturing for me to follow.
Okay I can do this I thought to myself taking a deep breath.
"Do you by any chance know anybody called Xavier occoner"
"I asked cause you guys have similar sur-n-" the look on zion face stopped me from saying anything else.
Zion stopped right on his track.
He looked so shocked
The expression on his face was filled with horror, pain surprise, and most especially guilt.
"Ho-w th-e heck do y-ou know that name" he asked stammering.
He was breathing really fast now.
"Zion are you okay"
"You scaring me" I added.
"I need to go" he said rushing down the halls but I didn't miss the tears that was running down his face.
"Zion" I shouted
But he didn't stop.
"Limah are you okay"
I felt a hand on my shoulder
I turned around and came to face to face with a familiar face. She must have sensed my confused expression.
"Angelina" she said quickly.
"We met at your first day here" she added.
"Oh yeah that's true I'm so sorry" I said.
"That's okay no body notice me anyway" she said mumbling the last.
But brush it off quickly with a laugh.
"Are you okay"
"I heard you shouting Zion's name" she said looking at me with a worried face.
"Yeah i'm fine" I replied.
I was having second thoughts if I should ask her about xavier, maybe she could know something regarding him. Because the way Zion reacted was really not normal.
He looked scared and broken.
And Xavier reactions to when ever I bring zion up is also not normal.
I have a strong feeling something is connecting them something really deep.
"Angelina"
"Have you ever heard of the name Xavier occoner" I asked looking at her hopefully.
"What" she also looked shocked.
"I haven't heard that name in three years" she said
"Uhmm how do you know him" I asked
"He attended this school before he disappeared"
"What do you mean by before he disappeared" I asked her
"Nobody knew what happened to Xavier"
"Some said he was killed, but his body was never found" she said.
"When Xavier disappeared Zion did not come to school for three years"
"Zayn started school again just two weeks before you came" she added
"How can a twenty years old be in grade 12" she asked me.
"I'm still confused about one thing" I asked Angelina.
"What's that"
"How is Xavier and zion related".
