Everythings seems creepy because it is

High school began and it came with a lot of strange happenings. In middle school, we were all excited to carry on to a new educational phase, nevertheless, what we saw wasn't what we expected. All of us were freshmen and we got to know each other and socialize. Everyone tried, apart from this girl, Dara. Dara was always in black. Whatever she wore, there was always a touch of black in it. She looked like royalty because of the way she carried herself, the fleet of cars that dropped her off in school, the clothes she wore and all.

I don't know why but I just always kept a close eye on the girl. She was strange. She came to school with a personal guard approved by the school authorities. She never ate from or in the school cafeteria. The most striking part was that she had no friends and as such, she never spoke. Weeks passed and I never heard her say anything, I didn't even know how she sounded. I was beginning to think that she was male. I don't know if this is strange but I just liked her. I wasn't homosexual but I just had a feeling that I should become friends with her. She looked lonely, in constant fear and was always sullen. If my thinking was right and she was a royalty then she wasn't supposed to be here.

Royalties rolled with royalties right?. Her life was very intriguing and I was ready to find out more about her mysterious ways. I had a plan. To get to her, I had to distract the guard and so I came up with a master plan to distract the guard and I just prayed it worked. On the day, I tried it and the guard was distracted but for about ten minutes only. I got to her and I tried to get to know her. 'Hi, I'm Beva, and you are? She smiled. 'Okay Dara, I've noticed you for quite a while now and I see you have no friends nor do you speak and you have this guard with you all the way except the ladies room and that's creepy, is anything the matter?' She smiled again, brought out a pen and wrote on a piece of paper. 'Hi Beva, I've also been noticing you, you seem like a stalker, I'm not supposed to say this but everything is creepy because it is.

That's the length of it. Nice to finally meet you in person. You had better hurry before my guard gets back'. She wrote all this on a piece of paper and tore it for me. I read it, told her' tomorrow, the ladies room by 10a.m', said goodbye to her and hurried away. 'Everything seems creepy because it is', that was the part that got me. What did she mean by that? Was it true or they were just mere words, well I was going to find out the next day. I went to school the next day and waited in the ladies room, she came in, saw me and went into one of the toilets. I snuck into her toilet from the spaces beneath. Gave her a pen and a note and asked her to explain what she meant by "everythings seems creepy because it is"

She smiled, pushed my pen and note away and said there would be no need for that'. She freaking spoke, from her accent one could tell she was from England. She had a British accent, then she spoke again 'things seem creepy because they are creepy, no one can hear my voice apart from you right now'. 'How is that even possible? You're speaking out loud and no one can hear you alright scream', she screamed and I opened the door and peeped outside, no one seemed affected, wait, no one was moving either, it was like we had stopped in time. 'What did you do Dara, no one is moving, you have powers? ' yes I do, a lot of dark powers, stopping time is one of them' I've always heard of slowing time but this, this was incredible. 'So why are you here, you're royalty right?' 'Yes, I'm royalty and yes everyone is attacking me and they want to kill me by all means even my mom.

It's just my dad who acknowledges the fact that I deserve to live, so he brought me down here, far away from home, with a constant bodyguard and all the basic things I need' 'you call flashy cars and nice clothed basic things? Okay how about the touch of black in everything you wear?' 'You noticed that too, you should be a detective' we both laughed then she continued' the black is a covering from evil eyes, when ever I wear black, no one, I mean no one at all can hurt me, irrespective of who or what you are, it took time to discover but it is so true'. Wow she was definitely creepy. 'Okay, Dara, we have to go, although you've stopped time , we can't lollygag all day so we have to go, we met here, same time tomorrow, I'd love to be your friend but before we disperse, one more question'. She told me to ride on and so I asked' why don't you ever speak?. She smiled, she looked very pretty when she smiled.

'Well, I don't speak because even if I do, no one would hear me unless you have powers too'. ' uhm excuse me, hello! I'm hearing you just right and yes, why am I not frozen too, could it be that I …. I ..' I was so confused then she spoke up' yes, you have powers that you just don't know about yet, don't worry with time, you'd get to know'. 'So you knew all this while that I had powers, woah! I have powers!'. 'Nope, you won't do that, you have to take it easy, no one would believe you either way because you don't know your powers'. 'Fine, we should head to class then, see you tomorrow'. She unfroze time and everything was back to normal, I smiled and walked out of the ladies room. I had to figure out what my powers were with her help of course. Days passed, weeks passed and we became closer and closer. I had to meet Dara's father to be granted permission to be seen around her and I was granted the permission when he knew I had powers too. Me and Dara were best pals, I couldn't get too attached because shit happens. One day I asked her what my powers were with puppy eyes, she said and I quote, 'I guess it's high time you knew. Okay Beva Kelwinsky, you're my guardian, you have guardian powers not some super power like flying or super strength. You and I are connected, you were assigned to protect me when you were born and your guardian powers work only on me, when I need you I could just go in sync with you'.

'What do you mean?' She told me to close my eyes and I did. She went to the kitchen, picked up a knife and was about to cut herself, it all showed. It was like I was watching a movie or something. She came back and asked me what I saw. I told her and she said it was right, we were in sync, inseparable. That was lovely, I vowed to protect her with my life, the funny fact was that I took karate lessons and so I was good to go or so I thought. It was funny how time passed. I moved from a curious stalker high school kid to a guardian. Perfect!
