Possession by KATHLEEN HAYAT (year 7 reading list TXT) 📕

Next day Isabelle did her best to avoid getting in eyes as much as possible. She didn't want the repeat of yesterday.

She came way too early today so she could do the work early before anyone's arrival and she did. Just as the students started to arrive, she was finished with morning work as she made her way to the main janitor room on the first floor.

As soon as she entered inside she saw the room empty. Maybe Jacob is busy doing his work. Now she's kinda free till the recess cause she has already cleaned the cafeteria.

She sat on one of the chairs at the side. Her muscles ached from yesterday. Never in her life she had to do this much cleaning but here she is doing all this.

Her eyes started to get drowsy and she welcomed sleep with open arms. A little nap will help for sure.

She woke up by a hand on her shoulder that jerked her body making her jolt awake. She gasped with the suddenness but quickly composed herself as she saw an amused Jacob staring down at her with his brown eyes.

"Sorry to scare you but it's time to clean the cafeteria." He told her simply.

Isabelle stared at him and then nodded her head as in taking note. She stood up and gathered her stuff.

"You sleep like dead, Ryder." Jacob said with a light chuckle making her blush red as she immediately looked down to hide her heated cheeks as she awkwardly coughed and mumbled. "Eh..mm kinda." She mumbled in a manly voice as she hurried out of there.

As she made her way to the cafeteria. A small smile occurred on her lips. The cafeteria was almost clean which she didn't expect but nonetheless she was glad that the students were kind enough to throw their trash in the bin but sadly one of the tables was purely full of trash and she can bet to whom this table belongs to.

Heaving a sigh she started doing her job as she cleaned the cafeteria completely and by the time she was done, she already felt tired.

She made her way out and placed the equipment in the small janitor room on this floor and decided to freshen up a little so she won't fall asleep again in front of Jacob.

With that thought she entered the restroom and did her business by the time she came out of the stall and washed her hands. Three to four girls came into the restroom only to halt in their steps and as soon as they saw her aka the male janitor, all the girls screamed loudly making her scared and she also started screaming but it took her a second to realize that they were screaming at her.

In an instant few of the boys came there and she recognized one of them. Her heart sank as that goon of that grey eyed man smirked at her and then he vanished.

Isabelle immediately mumbled a small apology as she excused that she had mistaken it for males restroom as she's new here. The girls kinda bought the poor janitor's lie but before she could pass the door.

Her way was blocked by the same grey eyed guy, who had bullied her yesterday. Her face paled but what he did next totally made her shocked as he held her arm in a steel grip.

"So poor of you janitor boy. Come with me, I'll show you where male’s restroom is." He mused as he yanked her with him.

She could barely register his words and the next thing she was in male restroom. Her eyes literally popped out of their sockets as she saw guys there doing their business.

She abruptly covered her eyes and squeaked lowly as she ran for one of the stalls but before she could close the door that grey eyed guy was inside as he stared at the janitor amused.

"Why are you behaving like a girl?" He asked with curiosity dripping from his eyes, making her eyes widen as she squared her shoulders and stared at him straight with chin high.

"I'm not!" She spoke in her fake deep manly voice making the guy to arch his perfect brow at her.

Isabelle saw that he didn't believe her at all. "I need to use the restroom in a hurry, that's why! Now if you would excuse me. I have work to do." She spoke in a confident manly voice and she was glad that her voice came out strong and not in stuttering.

The guy didn't say a word as she immediately walked past him, cautious not to touch him and without even looking up at once she was out of the restroom.

Her face was red and she was continuously cursing herself internally for being stupid enough to go in ladies restroom rather than the restroom in janitor's room.

Embarrassed, she decided to clean the second floor as her last work. She hurriedly did her work and when it was done, she made her way to the janitor's main room on the first floor, to inform Jacob that she had completed her work.

On the way she saw him. The grey eyed man but what got her attention was the beautiful blond clinging to him like her life depends on it. Her boobs almost spilled out of her crop top. She was beautiful nonetheless, like a model. As they were standing in a group of people, with his goons and another girl.

Her eyes slowly met with the cold grey ones and she froze and then abruptly looked away. He saw her looking at him and the girl.

Lord save me!

She thought as she hurried into the janitor's room and sighed in relief when she saw Jacob there.

"Done Ryder?" Jacob asked, not looking up from placing the equipment at its place.

"Yup!" She said happily and her voice had her eyes widening because she spoke in her real voice.

As soon as Jacob's head shot up. She faked a cough. "Yeah!" And spoke in a manly voice making Jacob stare at her weirdly but nonetheless he told her to leave as she had completed her work.
