TRAPThe next morning I get up to do what I do every morning: go to the bathroom, shower, get out and get ready for another day of classes. What happened yesterday has me a little shocked. I mean I made out with the girl named Lasy, Flavia had gotten jealous of me and what she did with Karla. There are so many things. I mean, I had to seriously talk to Flavia so I could clear things up; I didn't want to lose her friendship. I had grown fond of her.-Good morning," Flavia says to me and leaves for the bathroom. I saw that Karla was still asleep in her bed.-Good morning," I answered awkwardly. I thought she wouldn't talk to me. That was a good sign, wasn't it? Flavia goes into the bathroom so I'm left alone with Karla, who was starting to stir.I finish combing my hair and take some money to pay for breakfast.Karla yawns and sits on the bed.-Ugh, I don't want to go to class," she complains, "How did you sleep, Amara? -She asks me, "Didn't we keep you awake last night? -she grimaces a

THE VICTIM-You killed her! You killed her! -the girl shouted at me.-No, wait," I wanted to get closer, but she instinctively backed away. She was afraid of me, it was obvious. And it didn't look good to me at all.Damn it.-You're a killer!God, those words hurt. But they wouldn't affect me because I hadn't done anything. It had all been a mix-up. A trap. Who the fuck could have done this to me?-Listen to me, I came here and found this," I dropped the hammer so she could see I was unarmed. But the girl kept backing away until her back hit a bush.-I'll call the police," she says, pulling out her cell phone.-No, don't do that," I begged. I was sure there was an explanation for all this. But as I said, it didn't look good to me. First of all, he was wearing the victim's clothes and had touched the murder weapon as well: the hammer.-I'll call the police," she repeats, holding her cell phone to her ear.Great, now I would end up in jail.-Wait, I... -But something happened: in the bl

THE COVENANTWhen we got back to school, no one said anything, it was almost ten o'clock at night. That is, I hadn't been in class all day because I had spent most of the time following clues and hiding evidence. The five of us were in the cafeteria, sitting at a table near the pool. Everything was half dark and no one was there. Not one student.-What do we do now? -Karla broke the silence.Wade was staring blankly, perhaps processing what had just happened.-I don't know, pretend nothing happened? -answers Flavia.-No one will talk about this," Elder says, "We'll make a pact. This day never existed. No one knows anything. Burn her clothes, do whatever you can with them, but make her disappear.-Pretend nothing happened? -There are two girls who will never return to their homes, one was almost a child and the other... was Amara's age. The two of them... they deserved more than to be burned in the woods.Wade was right, now I remember why he caught my attention; he was very level-head

CRIATURES-It's a Chevrolet Camaro in white! -Mell tells me more excited than Melania herself. However, I wasn't even looking at her stupid car, I was thinking about important things.-I'm having a bonfire tonight in the woods to celebrate! -Melania exclaims- You know where, in the same place.-We're going to the bonfire, right? -asks Mell.-No, I have to study. Mell, I've already seen Melania's nice car, now if you excuse me I have to go on with my work -I was about to take a step to leave but she stops me. She gets serious, as if she wanted to tell me something.-Do you have something to tell me? -I wanted to know.I found her gesture strange.Mell looks behind me for a few seconds and then puts her smile back on her face.-Nothing, I just wanted to wish you luck in your things," she turns and goes in search of Melania. I stay a few seconds trying to explain her reaction but I don't succeed, what I do is to look where she looked a few seconds ago: Elder and his group.Elder gives me

LA FOGATAElder was kissing me, however, instead of pushing him away like the first time, I let him do it. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I felt the softness of his lips. His hand travels from the back of my neck to my back, I felt the shivers run down my spine. I admit it felt very good this, too good. But his hand went from my back to lower, so I quickly pulled it up.Elder stops kissing me to leave wet kisses on my neck, near my ear.-I want to eat you," he whispered, it was a whisper that gave me some bemusement but I let it go. When Elder puts his hand under my shirt I stop him and pull away.-We shouldn't do this," I tucked loose strands of hair behind my ear.-Don't start with your stuff," he says, trying to kiss me again. But I pull away. Elder was strange and besides he had a girlfriend.-Excuse me, but I'm not your plaything with whom you entertain yourself from time to time," I crossed my arms a little indignant.He frowns.-Who says you're a toy?-It seems like it.

THE TAPE-You know what's involved with her being here, don't you? Plans will go awry. You'll go soft on her and that's something we can't allow. You'll hurt us all. -The tape starts running, it was a woman's voice, but what puzzled me the most was that it did sound like Mell's voice.-Forget it. -A boy's voice answers her. It's Elder.-Elder, think about it. You're not sure she's what you say she is. If you don't do anything to get her out of the way, then I will.-You don't touch her," Elder replies, "I'll kill you first.I felt chills.-Then make up your mind. We don't have your time. October's full moon is coming, we have to be ready by then. Remember we can't let this opportunity pass us by. We made a pact and we all have to keep it.October full moon? Pact?-If you touch it, you'll die.-Who said I'll touch her? -Who said I'll touch her? She'll put the noose around her own neck. I'll just... give her a little push."Elder turns off the recorder and leaves it on the coffee table

THE KEY-It's field hockey class! -Flavia exclaims, coming over to me. I was at my locker putting some books in when she appeared. Alone this time. I wonder where she left Karla. -Shall we go watch the training? -she asks, grabbing my arm.I scrunch up my face with some denial.-I don't know if it's... -I started to say, but she interrupted me:-Let's cheer up, I've noticed you a bit pensive these days so let's cheer up a bit. Just for a while, ok?I thought about it: I had nothing else to do so it wouldn't be bad to spend time on other things.-Okay.We walked in the direction of the huge field hockey room. When you're a millionaire you can have anything you want. I mean, they were all millionaires here, so... a field hockey field was nothing to them. When we arrived, there are a lot of girls watching practice. The boys were playing on the rink while the coach was correcting them. Flavia and I sat in the last bleachers a little bit away from the others.-What time did you get back la

LINKI stay static in the same place not knowing what to do, thinking of some excuse to say.-What are you doing here? -For some reason I was thankful that it was that voice and not someone else's. I turn on my heels and look at Elder. He was no longer wearing his gamer suit but was just in his uniform. Elder steps inside and closes the door behind him.-I... -What do I tell him now? Think, Amara, think.... I needed to talk about something with the director.Elder narrows his eyes, scanning me, making sure what I tell him is true.-Are you sure?-Sure, why would I lie? -Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back-I headed for the door.-The director was about to come, if you want you can wait for him.-No. I'd rather come another time. -I was about to leave but I stopped myself- Why are you here? Was it because you hit that boy?He sighs, looking tense. I was actually looking at him a bit tense lately, I'd like to know what was bothering him. Deep down I didn't know why I was always t
