Chapter 133 They Took To Their Heels

Joanna was on the third staircase when the guys whose attentions were elsewhere looked in her direction.

The moment they got a glimpse of her face the guys shivered. Logan staggered backwards and almost lost his balance.

Even from where she stood Joanna could sense fear all around them. Their erratic heartbeat depicts nothing but fear.

The guys started moving backwards and before she knew it they took to their heels like they had seen a ghost.

Their actions left not only the others perplexed but also Joanna. They wondered what had come over the most popular guys on campus.

Her eyes followed the running guys until they disappeared from her sight.

Joanna spun and face the guy standing beside her. "The news that I am not a ghost is all over the internet so why do they look very scared of me?" Joanna questioned in confusion.

No matter how hard she thought about it she didn't see the reason why the guys were afraid of her.

When she was haunting her murderers, she couldn't find any of them no matter how hard she tried.

It was as if they had vanished into the surface of the Earth. She hasn't had her revenge on them so the way they stared at her as though she was the DEVIL himself left her confused.

"You are right about your comeback news being on every media content," said Amos. She was too bothered by the guy's behaviour to see him suppressing the urge to laugh.

"If that is not the case then do I perhaps look scary?" Joanna centred her gaze on his face.

"Hmm…," Amos trailed and hits his head with an index finger like he was in deep thoughts.

He raised his right hand and touched her face. "You are kind of gentle but I wonder whether you know just how scary you are when you scowled?" Amos' eyelids lowered and pulled together, his lips curled inwards and a vertical wrinkle appeared in between his brows.

"How dare you make such an ugly face and imply that is how I look like when I scowled?" said Joanna as she raised her hand to hits him but Amos pulled away.

"Because that is exactly how you look when you scowl. You just haven't looked at yourself in the mirror when you make that look that is why," Amos said repeating the same expression he did earlier.

Joanna chased him but he ran onto the next staircase narrowly escaping her hold.

"You will see just how I will deal with you for making fun of me," Joanna pursued. They were too concentrated on each other to even notice that the onlookers were still there.

The jobless people walked away in anger when they got fed up with their shamelessness.

"Stop right there," Joanna yelled as she kept on chasing him.

They forgot that they were on campus and not in the forest where they can play all they wanted without restrictions.

Joanna and Amos were still running around the stairs when the laughing Joanna bumped into Audrey.

"Drey!" The words escaped from Joanna's mouth. Her eyes widened in shock and her smile slowly faded away.

"Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?" Audrey asked. Instead of looking at Joanna her gaze was on the guy whom Joanna played with.

"I know I told you that I am not against your relationship but I never said you should abandon me for him…,"

"Hey, stop exaggerating…,"

"But you know that I am not joking," Audrey said, her eyes squinted as she walked two steps down so that she was standing on the same staircase as Amos.

"I am a loner. You are my only friend. Life is boring without you," Audrey took a step forward, trying to close the gap between where she and Amos stood.

Joanna rushed to stand in their midst when she noticed that Amos was her target.

"Do you know what I did in these past six months to get over my grief?" Audrey turned and stared at the sunny sky.

The sky was a mixture of blue and white. It was a beautiful sight to watch.

"I drown myself in alcohol despite knowing that I could never get drunk no matter how many bottles I took…," Audrey trailed. Her words evoked Amos' emotions too.

He could still recall he did the same thing. Despite knowing how impossible it was for his kind to get drunk, he kept on drinking.

To be able to get drunk he had wished he wasn't a vampire but a human.

"Clubbing and video games became my new best friend….,"

Joanna lifted her right hand and tapped Audrey on the shoulder. "I know I am your only friend so there is no need to feel sad about the past. But instead, think about the fabulous things you want to do to make up for your past regret," Joanna gave Audrey a reassuring smile.

Averting her gaze back to Joanna's direction made Audrey recall what she had wanted to say when she got a glimpse of Amos' face.

"So you are the dude who has been stealing my Anna away from me huh?" Audrey asked sternly. She fixated her gaze on his face.

No matter how many times she stared at Amos she found him to look very familiar but she just couldn't pinpoint where she saw him.

"You…,"

"Get out of my way. I am not talking to you right now," Audrey playfully pushed Joanna away from her front so that the gap between him and Amos was breached.

"So who are you and what do you do for a living?" Audrey asked her stern glares centred on Amos' face.

The aura surrounding her and the way she questioned Amos will make others assume her to be Joanna's mother.

When Amos didn't respond Audrey bent so that her face was very close to his face.

"Why do you look so familiar? Have we met before?" Audrey asked. She took a closer look at his face.
