BEST FRIEND’S PROPOSAL
‘I think I heard it wrong,’ Care told to herself.
“Is it true?” she asked him with a wild look in her eyes. Bill had no choice but to tell the whole truth.
“You shouldn’t be angry with me. I am the one who contacted him through your phone. I told him about the video and for the return I asked him not to talk with you ever again. Daniel has been ungrateful to me for talking with you again.” Bill explained everything furiously.
“Whoa, I can’t able to catch but why do both of you lie to me? What’s the matter with you? Why do you care about him talking with me? And why did Daniel try to contact me even though he knows Iam not the one who sent it. Iam confused. You are confusing me,” Care muttered fast and had a tight grip on the plate till her hands got hurt.
“That’s all I can say.” Bill wasn’t ready to tell everything.
“Don’t you dare talk to me again? You used my phone without permission and you cause all these problems.” Care kept that plate down, making a noise that isn’t audible at this party.
“You can’t blame me. Daniel was the one who confronted Becca in front of others, and how did you get that footage?” He questioned her, reading an eyebrow.
“That’s none of your business. Now it’s out.” She crossed her arms.
“Well, now I understand more about you. You are defending Daniel than me who has been with you all these years.” Care saw the look of hurt in his eyes. She doesn’t think that this thing will become a problem with him.
“Iam not defending him. Becca fooled Daniel. There’s no fault in him,” She still supported him.
“Yes. He’s perfect and Iam wrong. All these years, I secretly loved you, admired you, and never admitted it. Now you have easily been distracted by a millionaire actor within a few weeks. We have been friends, but I wanted more than that, which will not happen,” Bill furiously said.
“What? you loved me,” Care can’t able to realize what you told in these few seconds. She always has seen him as her friend. But he kissed her one day. That memory came into her mind. The day she was stressed and caught up in the moment. Maybe she wondered about what that kiss meant, but soon after all other problems she forgot about this. She hurt her friend. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Bill is jealous of Daniel. Daniel has everything that Bill hasn’t. Care doesn’t want Daniel’s money or anything. She’s not that type. Since she met him in real life, she has been distracted and waited for Daniel’s call. When they both bonded, Bill can’t able to see that. If he had told it, in the beginning, he won’t be having heartbreak now.
“Enough,” Bill stopped her and walked away without a word. Care wants to cry. She wants to go after him but she can’t do it. She can’t say anything to assure him because she always has seen him as a friend. 'Daniel and Bill already talked with each other. I never know about that' she thought to herself. That means Daniel talked with her on purpose. Anyway, it’s not a time to think about that.
"Can I take the cupcake?” a boy with specs asked Caroline.
“Take everything.” Care kept the whole plate in his hands and walked her way out of the school. Now, all she wants is to talk with her sisters. She has to share this with someone.
I hate myself
I hate myself
‘I hurt my best friend. Why can’t I know what he feels for me all these years? If I knew it, I would have sorted this out earlier. Which is not going to happen ever again.
.....
Bill and Caroline’s conversation was Loud enough to be heard by anyone near them. Becca heard half of their conversation while passing the hall. All she ever heard or noticed is Caroline is behind her embarrassment, problems, and whatnot. She called Tiffany and Wes. She can’t able to spot them at the party. They both have a date, but she is standing here alone without anyone.
“Damn it, why isn’t she attending the call?” Becca shouted at the phone in frustration. ‘They are an utter waste in a time of need. I will do it myself,’ she planned something and smiled to herself.
“Can I join you, guys?” Chloe politely asked Ian, Taylor, and their friends at the party.
“Yeah, Ian’s date is definitely allowed here,” Taylor teased them again, even though they are friends.
“Hmm. Then your date is standing there. Go talk with him,” Ian teased her in return by showing Wes. Who likes Wes? especially the Enemies of Becca won’t like him. Wes is a good-looking boy, but his attitude doesn’t make anyone like him. Still, he has a girlfriend. She doesn’t have good taste.
“Ewww. I can rather die.” Taylor gave a disgusting look while everyone around them laughed. For Chloe, the 12th grade students are new to her. She never knew anyone other than a few friends. They are also not interested in knowing her. Chloe is waiting for Sara and Sookie who went to get some refreshing juice.
Suddenly someone called her “Chloe Lowe,”
.......
Buzz. Buzz.
Care is standing next to the front door of the Roshord school. She can’t leave the party without her friends. Her phone is vibrating and saw some texts from Chloe.
Chloe: Sis, can you come to my class. I need to talk to you.
Caroline: yeah, but aren’t you at the party. Why are you calling me to your class?
Chloe: I got something to tell you.
Caroline: I got time for you. I am coming.
Care texted fast and smiled to herself. Finally, she can tell her problem to her sister. But what she’s going to tell at this time. Anything important?
Wonder. Relief. Curious.
Care ran back to the school. The party noise was minimized when she entered her sister’s classroom. It’s empty, silent, a little bit scary in the dark. She doesn’t turn on the light. There’s no one in the room except her. Care looked at her phone once again and some shadow becomes visible in front of her. She looked up nervously, and the person is behind her.
“Caroline Lowe. Do you want to make any wishes because this will be your last day?” someone wickedly spoke. The person’s voice boomed in Care’s mind more than once.
DON’T DO IT Shiver ran down her spine when she recognized the voice. “Becca. What are you doing here?” Care boldly spoke. She was expecting Chloe, but Becca showed up instead of her sister. “Will you believe me if I said Iam here to kill you?” Becca laughed, keeping both of her arms behind her back. “Are you insane? What are you talking about? I don’t have time to chit-chat with you,” Care calmly replied, stepping forward. “You are probably right because you won’t have time to live your life. I know you are the reason for my break-up,” Becca snarled. “I... Iam not the reason. You misunderstood,” Care stammered. She doesn’t need to be afraid of Becca, but today something doesn’t feel right. “Don’t act innocent. You want to steal him from me. Well, congratulation. You did it. I don’t know why you and your sisters are always interfering in my life. Caleb never liked me and now he will never look at me,” Becca shouted, and
MURDERERS Caleb reached the class at first before Charlotte. He slammed the door open and hurried to Caroline’s side within a blink of an eye. Becca was stunned to see him for a moment. “What are you doing here?” she asked, dropping the gun down. “I called him. Do you have the courage to kill my brother? Since he’s your crush,” Caroline smirked victoriously. Becca doesn’t have a plan to kill Caleb. She can’t able to execute her plan. “Seriously, I don’t want to know who took the footage. I want to get this over. I can’t wait anymore.” She changed her mind and was about to kill both of them. This is her one last option. She pulled the trigger. Care was shot in her arms. Becca isn’t an expert in shooting, even though having her own gun. “Just a little mistake. Now I will take the right aim,” “No. Have you lost your mind?” Caleb growled and caught his sister, who is stuck in the same place holding her arms to stop the blood. In a
PERFECT LIARS While in the middle of the party, Ian is desperately searching for Chloe. “Why aren’t you dancing?” Taylor approached him. “I can’t. I don’t know where is Chloe,” His eyes searched all over the party hall. “But she was with us. Am I right?” “It’s been an hour. I didn’t see her. I asked Sookie and Sara, but they didn’t see her today. I called her, but she isn’t attending,” “Maybe we should check apart from the hall,” Taylor suggested. They both made their way around all the corridors, hoping to find her. They even searched in the restroom. Finally, they stood in the corner of the corridor to catch their breath. “You should call her sisters,” Taylor said, panting. When Ian took his phone, he heard someone shouting, screaming from somewhere. “I heard a familiar voice,” He stated. “Me too,” Taylor said, running towards the voice. The scream is getting louder and louder until it’s crystal clear
MISSING HOMECOMING QUEEN “It’s nice to finally get a chance to dance with you,” Ian stated, keeping one hand on Chloe’s wrist and the other hand intertwined with her hands. “Are you blushing?” Ian asked again, seeing her face. “No, I’m not,” Chloe looked up at Ian. Being with Ian somewhat made her forget about the murder. Within a few minutes’ gap, Becca’s face popped up in her vision. “You seem so distracted. Aren’t you?” Ian brought her back to the present. She nodded her head “I don't know, I can’t get my mind off being locked in the locker.” Roshord school is rich enough to have everything. Even the locker is enough for a person to be entered, which becomes a disadvantage. “You should try to forget that. Now see me, Iam here, everyone here happily dancing. Take a deep breath and relax. Iam here for you,” He assured her. Chloe took a deep breath to let go of Becca’s face out of her vision. She’s regretting that she can’t ab
BILL’S TRUE LOVE “Caroline, open the door,” Caleb’s voice boomed in Care’s ears. She’s still feeling so sleepy. She slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them. For a second, she’s feeling like a happy girl with zero problems. Then, after a second, everything that happened hit her mind and make her wide awake. “Iam coming,” she rushed to open the door. Caleb never disturbs her in the morning. But today when she saw his pale face. “Don’t tell me we are going to jail,” she murmured. “No. But this relief won’t last long, I think. You should come and see the news.” He grabbed her to the hall where Chloe and Charlotte already got ready for school, sitting and watching the television anxiously. “A few weeks ago, a girl died in a fire accident on Roshord high. The investigation is still not over. Before it gets solved, a girl went missing. Her name is Becca Sparks. A high school girl went missing on her homecoming day. The school i
HAUNTED HOUSE A shiver ran down Care’s spine. She can’t sit back in her home being a coward. She needs to visit the house. At the backside of the paper, the unknown person mentioned something. 9:00 pm COME ALONE She got no other choice. She can’t tell this to her friends. It’s time to face the truth. If the person shows up, she needs to bravely face him. Care isn’t brave like Charlotte but she can able to the brilliant right at the most important time. She fixed her mind off going alone. Care is going to meet some threatening person M.W. What is meant by M.W? Is he or she? Will she get the answers today? ..... Caleb walked to his class with Elliot. The school entrance is so crowded with reporters and detectives. Chloe’s classroom is filled with investigators. Her class is changed to another class for the rest of the day. Caleb took his seat showing a calm face. He took his phone and scrolled his I*******m post, not wanting to
WOLF’S MASK Caleb blinked at his sister giving a perplexing look. “Someone stole my diary. I wrote everything that happened yesterday,” Care told with regret. “You are insane. How can you do something like that? Did we go to some carnival to note it in the diary as a memory? It’s a murder case. Seriously, I don’t understand why you did something like that.” Caleb questioned her with a little bit less anger. He knows nothing is going to change after this. They can’t live a normal life after this incident. All they need to do is survive. 9:00 pm There’s a bang on the room door before Caroline could answer Caleb. “It’s nine o’clock,” Caleb glanced at his watch. The banging is getting louder and louder. “Did you lock the door before getting in?” Care questioned him. When Caleb nodded, Care moved towards the door. She looked outside through the hole. She could see anyone outside except the sound. Suddenly som
BLAME “What do you mean by ‘what the hell’, Care? You are holding the diary right now,” Charlotte snapped. “There’s nothing written in my diary. All my writings are gone. It’s gone. How’s that possible? Are we dealing with some devil?” Caroline babbled, pacing back and forth in the hall. “Give it to me,” Charlotte snatched it. Her face became pale by seeing it. She believed in Care. Soon she flipped each page to find two written pages that remain the same. “The day we killed Becca remains in this diary. All other things have vanished,” Charlotte threw the Diary to Care, acting like it’s some kind of poison. “You are right. But there’s a message on the last page,” Caroline carefully opened it. Finally, you noticed it. Phew. It’s good. I know everything has vanished and you don’t need to worry because everything will reappear, eventually. It's my secret trick. Now don’t think everything is over. You all need to do
