《haunting ❁ halsey》26

I wasn't looking forward to school that morning but I managed to get myself out of bed and into school.
I got my art things from my locker and headed straight to class.
I took my seat and I took out my sketchbook on the picture of Hayley I had started a while back. I planned on finishing it and giving it to her.
I was shading in her hair when the door opened and Melanie walked in.
Quickly, I flipped the sketchbook shut and dropped my pencil.
"Hello Ashley. Whatcha hiding from me?"
"N-Nothing. What do you want Melanie?"
A smile played on her lips "I take it you enjoyed yesterday" she said, completely ignoring my question and taking my sketchbook off the table.
"Yes I did. Did you enjoy watching us?"
She stopped flicking through my sketchbook "Watching you?" She snorted "I wasn't watching you"
"Don't lie to me Melanie"
"What? Did you see me?"
"Um. No. I-"
"Ah!" She pointed her finger at me "You didn't see me. You've no proof I was there"
"I have a text message" I said meekly
She looked strangely at me "But I didn't...oh, forget it" she rolled her eyes, grabbing my sketchbook again.
She continued flicking through it.
Please don't find it
Please don't find it
Please don't find it
She found it.
"Ahhh! Drawing pictures of your girlfriend" she sneered "Sweet. Lovely"
She ripped it out, folded it up and pocketed it.
She went to leave when I make a snap decision to follow her and try to grab it out of her pocket.
She grabbed my arms and pushed me against the wall, her nails digging into my skin.
"You're not getting this back" she told me, letting go of me.
She left the classroom.
Outside, I heard the sound of ripping and then, footsteps fading.
I slowly opened the door and looked outside in the bin and there, in 17 pieces lay my drawing of Hayley.

The Eternal Seeker Saga
In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.
