As she slowly approached me i got up from the wall I leaned against. And as I turned to run away she said
"Where do you think you're going" and with incredible speed I saw her pulling out a hand full of daggers out of her bag. Trying to get away from I ran as fast as I could. But then I could see her lunging them at me with full speed in my direction. Closing my eyes i thought this is it huh this how my journey ends but the pain of getting hit never came . And so as I slowly opened my eyes with my heart still racing I found myself pinned against the wall. The daggers had literally stapled my clothes without hitting me against the wall. Shifting my gaze from myself I saw her just a couple inches away from my face looking at me directly.
"Listen we're are going to be friends wether you want to or not, I just wanted to be honest with I'm not going to kill you so don't worry about it ok" she said in a almost to calm voice. But in my head armbells we're still ringing like the deafening sounds off a construction site. And so I responded to her.
"And if I dont want to keep that promise if I don't want to be your friend anymore what then ?"
"Then my dear friend next time it will not only be your clothes pining you to the wall. As you will die a painfull and slow death bleeding out for hours who knows maybe even days if I feel like it. And don't get stupid ideas my friend the police won't help you, feel free to try but don't say I didn't warn you. So just keep your promise and we be a okay and the best of friends I promise you that."
Feeling Cold shivers run down my spine I realize that I don't have that much of option to say no and so just agree "Eheh... sure"
And with that her expression softened and she smiled at me "Now then let me get you off the wall" she said in friendly tone. And then started pulling out the daggers pinning me to it. As she finished pulling out the st dagger. She then looked for something in her bag and then handed me 200. Still freightend and now also a bit confused I asked her.
"What's that for"
"Just compensation for your ruined clothes "
A bit surprised by it I said "Ehm thanks"
"Now then see you tomorrow at school I gotta go" and with that she left me. And as she disappeared behind the next corner off the alleyway an the tension in the air disappeared I breathed a big sigh off relief "it's over isn't it puuuh.." I said to myself and then left the alley. But being back on the street from before a realization hit like a train. No actually quite im far from this being over then I had to be friends with this psycho I thought to myself. Walking back home a lot of these kind of thoughts came coursing through my mind. So what if do tell people about her will she come after me. What also scared me deeply was what if she comes after my sister what then. Come on Niko she just wants to be your friend that shouldn't be too hard right? But thought did not really calm much at all. After what I think was half an hour I arrived back at home using the doorbell I was greeted by my sister who threw herself in my arms.
"Brother welcome back home" she said in a cheerful tone.
Getting off of me and letting me come inside she said "I went to the supermarket today after school and bought a pizza kit so I thought we make pizza together today, and also I have surprise for you ter" she said in a very energetic way. Honestly I was positively surprised by what she had pnned but my mind was still completely occupied by what had happened earlier.
And so I had to fake my excitement for it " oh that sounds great thank you sister" I said as I put down my bag. But my sister seemed to have noticed that something was off.
"Do you really want to make pizza with you don't really seem that excited"
"No .. no no" I chuckled "I want to it's just a lot happend today okay I just need some time for myself okay and then I'll go make pizza with you okay"
"Hmm okay" my sister said. And then left me to myself. Going to my room I've changed my clothes and then id down on my part of the bed. Pulling out my phone I searched for the stabbing case and found it. Reading through it theres was nothing really that Touka today didn't already tell me. Looking at the date when it happend it came out to be around 3 months ago. And then i remembered what she had said today before "you know I was here about 3 months ago but te at night when the streets are empty" that's what Touka had said before we reached the ice cream store I thought as it repyed in my mind. Come on man you got this just fake being her friend all you have to Is just make through this final year off school and then get a job take your sister with you move as far away from here as possible. I thought. But I knew that was easier said then done. And so while I was just there ying on my part of the bed contempting my thoughts I decide that I need to just calm down for a moment. And so I started indulging myself in games on my phone until my sister knocked on the door and asked.
"So you wanna come and make pizza with me now ?"
Maybe that's just what i need right now to calm my mind I thought and said.
"Yeah I'll come one moment "
