Chapter 3 Creepy reviews.

Xavier looks at her and then burst into feet of laughter obviously seeing the horror in bethel's face.

"Well, yeah that's right I was just trying to pull a leg." He shrugs earning a glare from bethel.

"Unfortunately you didn't choose the right prank." I retorted rolling my eyes.

"Whatever. By the way have you guys tried playing the game?" He asks.

"I wouldn't even think of that. first of all I'm not good with games and I still love my dear life okay" bethel replied him.

"Well that's why they won't even think of approaching girls in the first place." He said superciliously. technically implying that we girls are weakling which is just getting on my nerves

"What if I say I've been approached?"

And I regretted saying that because bethel picks interest in it asking questions as to how, when, where I was approached and who? I had no choice than to spend a good amount of my time telling them about the stranger of yesterday.

Bethel strictly warns me not to play while Xavier urges me to and me having a mind of my own stuck to my own decisions.

As soon as I was done eating I left both of them to continue bickering about the game while I headed for class.

There was few students in class as we are still on lunch break. So I slide out a Novel from my locker to keep my self company when a voice stole my attention from The back.

"Clarrisa," I turn back and was met with Nathan's Emerald green eyes.

Just whom I had expected as he's the only in that sits behind me. Talk about a jealous boyfriend

"Uh hi Nate" I smiled.

"You didn't tell me you left for the cafe" he said quietly.

"Well, I'm sorry but you were no where to be found." I enthused and he didn't say anymore word but suddenly chuckled out of the blue. Frowning and puzzled, I followed his gaze and he was staring at my hair.

"Since when did you start adorning your hair with flowers?" He answered the questioning look on my face.

"What?" I frowned and my hand flew to my hair rousing it till I felt something in my hair. Bringing it down, I discovered it was a stem Of flower. Which obviously was from those roses from Xavier.

"That prick..." I muttered curling the flowers in my palm.

"What was that?" Xavier raised an eye brow.

"I'm very sure it was Xavier who sneaked this into my air." I said casually before I could process what I just said, rage crosses Nathan face instantly.

But before he could speak, I immediately tells him not to worry that Xavier was just pulling some sort of trick on me that he joined in the game and he's scared he'll lose me so he gave me the flowers as compensation I guess. Nathan's expression softens a bit as a ghost of smile appears across in his face. "And you believed him?"

"Off course not. I know he's joking and Even though it was true he played the game I have nothing to be scared about. All those are just rumors you know." I said with a small laugh to lesson the tesion.

"Yeah." He nodded returning back to the image he was scrubbing on his paper.

"So did you finally did your research about the game?" I tried striking a conversation cause I know how weird my boyfriend is. He isn't the all chatty type. You could simply call him an introvert.

And that's one reason I love him cause he's the only one unique guy I know.

"Yeah kind of just a few review." He shrugs while focusing on his drawing.

"So what's your own reveiw about the game?" I know I've asked that before but he kinda dodged the question.

"with the vast majority of reviews I read, I strongly believe that the game is true and everything said about it is true..." I just sighed pushing my lips in as I fought the urge to start an argument. "So you are gonna try out the game?"

"Nah, you know I'm too busy for that." He replied which is true.

For a student who works mini job to care of himself, he wouldn't have spare time for stupid stuffs.

"You?" He asks and I raised an eye brow in a questioning manner.

"Are you gonna try out the game?" He asks

"Hell no.." I snaps and he couldn't help smiling at my immediate reply.

"You know if you strongly believe that this game is a myth or something you should give the game a try to prove your right at least." And he is repeating the same sermon everyone have been telling me.

We didn't get the chance to talk more about the game before a teacher walked into our class after the lunch break was over.

We had Few more classes till school was closed.

Today has really been a very hectic day. I've been cruising around town with my scooter, delivering clothes to dad's customers. Dad is a very prominent dry cleaner here in Texas so you could imagine the multitude of people I had to made delivery to.

"God I'm so exhausted..." I yawned lazily while walking into the living room.

Opening the door of my room, I was met with zayn curling up in my bed and to my annoyance he was operating my phone?? He was so engrossed in it that he never knew how I had walked in.

"Zayn..." my voice rang out in annoyance making zayn startled and jumped down to the floor.

"Can you explain to me what you were doing with my phone in my room?" I asked sternly placing my arm on my waste.

"Ummm...browsing??" He shrugs and bits his lower lips. And he took few step back in other to keep his distance with me.

"Seriously? What did i tell you about using people's stuff without taking permission from them?" I yelled exasperated. Honestly what's with siblings bursting into your room and acting like they are in charge?

"I know you wouldn't give me the phone if I ask you and you know that right?" He pouts.

"But still... Wait how did you even get my password are you some creepy hacker now?" I gasped as the realisation hits me.

"Well, I caught you opening your phone yesterday and you weren't smart enough to hide it from me." He said brashly and smiled, feeling proud of himself.

"Are you by chance saying I'm dumb?" I tried pulling his ears but he slipped out of my hands.

"I never said that..."

"Give me my phone..." I dragged it away from his hand highly upset.

"I'm still using it please, I'll give it back when I'm done. I promise." He flickered his eyelashes like a puppy maybe thinking I'll fall for that cause he uses that on dad.

"Get out of my room before I whoop your ass." I yelled but he didn't move a budge. He kept begging me to give him the phone and when I see he isn't going to leave, I held his tiny arms and threw him out. Shut the door and went back to my bed. That little lad wouldn't stop invading my privacy would he? What was he even doing with my phone?

As I took my phone to check it out, I was met with the background of google. Indeed he was browsing. What was he browsing about? As if replying my question, my gaze fell on the search box and saw the text. 'Can you keep a secret? >reviews'

Wow wow so my kid brother has really taken this game to another level. I tried to figure out what's so fancinating about the game but I really can't.

I dropped the phone on my bed. Folded my hair into a shower cap then I went to my closet and took my Laundry bag before heading off to the bathroom. I spent almost an hour taking a warm and cozy bath. I went back to my room, change into a pijamas then slump on my bed.

It was just 8pm and not yet ready to sleep, I took my phone and met the google page I had left behind.

I wanted to exit it but something in my gut prompt me to check out the reviews of the game.

Reviews:?

@alisa: I personally tried playing this game but after the first round I've to back out cause I almost lost my life and yes this game is so real but play at your own risk.

The seventh review got me chuckling.

There were tons of reviews on the game that if I really want to read all of them I'll have to take a whole week. I was already getting bored out of it when I heard a creaking sound coming from nowhere.

Instantly the lights goes off, followed by a thunderstorm.

I jolts up to go close the widows and turn on the lights, but I bumped into something. Not a wall cause I For one know a wall can't be standing at the middle of my room.

As my hand came in contact with it, it was so soft and it felt like a very tall creature was in my room.

terror stabbed my chest as my heart leapt into my throat. A scream tore out from my mouth, and I almost jumped out of my skin but two hands caught me by my arms. My body shook with dread yet I felt too numb to move.
