CONFRONTED HER
The same day, they discharged Caleb. He didn’t talk with their sisters, no further questions about what happened when he left? If he showed his emotions to his sisters, they would have helped him feel better. But he kept everything inside him, dying inside.
Care went silently to her room and took her diary. She only writes it when something happens that matters the most. Mostly it will be something happier or secrets or lies, but not death.
03 May, 11:30 pm,
I never thought something so heart-breaking will happen. I still can’t believe it. Ruby is like one of us and she meant a world to Caleb. He will never be the same person, ever again. Ruby is Chloe’s BFF. She is a sensitive girl who can’t bear a small thing. Soon Ruby’s funeral will happen without her body. No one can find her body. All we can see is ashes. The worst death ever. It should never happen to anyone. Her sweet voice is still ringing in my ear. One thing that makes me feel bad. If I could think of Caleb, he’s thinking he should have died instead of her. She saved for him and the others.
Her final help from me is to send Becca’s video to Daniel. I think I should have done it. Now I regret it. Speaking of Becca, today I saw her in a black dress in support of Raven. I don’t know why she is supporting them if she likes my brother and she will surely be happy about Ruby’s death. This thought makes me angry at the core like I want to do something to her. I still have many doubts and suspects. Who fixed the bomb in the house? Is it on purpose? Who would want to kill the high school students? Why there is no other person in that house at that time? I have so many questions to ask, which will take the whole night to think about. I should probably sleep now. I hope it all gets better day by day.
After two days, Caroline went to caffeine. Caleb still didn’t want to come to school. He’s spending all the time being alone. When Care entered the kitchen, there’s no sign of her friend Bill and clary. She worked with the other workers until she heard her phone ringing in her dress pocket.
“Hello, who is this?” she asked being absent-minded, without seeing the name.
“This is Daniel Evans. Don’t tell me you forgot about me. I want to talk to you. Come to my mansion. My guards will come and pick you up at 1:00 pm.”
“Um... I... I “she stammered and saw the name she saved on her phone.
“I thought you won’t call me,” she stuttered.
“I did, and I want to talk to you and your friends for helping. Telling thank you is not my character but I want to say thank you for the help.” Care doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
“What are you talking about?”
“The video. I will see you later.” he hung up the line, and she instantly opened the W******p. The video Chloe gave was already sent. Care knows she doesn’t do it. Then who does? Someone touched her phone and did it.
......
“I didn’t expect you would come here,” said Jason, seeing Charlotte approaching him in the pool.
“I want to take a break from the routine. I can’t concentrate on teaching violin,”
“You are welcome here. But this is school maybe comes to my house. I will give you my address,”
“Um... I’m not sure about it,” she replied, even though she really wants to get his address. She sat on a bench. All the students are warming up before swimming. She spotted Becca on the edge of the pool, talking with Tiffany and Wes.
“Here you are, Becca. It’s so good to see you for the last time,” someone’s familiar voice boomed loudly. Charlotte turned her head to see the famous actor Daniel is walking towards Becca with his guards behind him. Everyone’s eyes are on him. Daniel.
“Hey darling, what are you doing here?” she spoke calmly to his anger state.
“You don’t have a right to call me.” he snapped and opened a video and showed it in front of everyone. Embarrassment can be seen in Becca’s face. He confronted her without hesitating.
“This. This... who did this?” she stammered, looking angrily at her friends.
“I should have not told this to you,” she hissed at Tiffany.
“No Becca, I won’t do something like this. Trust me. Did you see the video? it was taken by someone.” She spoke with fear in her voice.
“I asked you who did this? It’s not true.” Becca lied again and again.
“It’s none of your business. You are not my girlfriend anymore and Iam not going to get back the money I spend for you. If it isn’t for my parents, I would have dated you. Who would date a girl like you?” he spoke everything loud enough to be heard by all the people surrounding her.
Becca looked hurt, as she had never been before. Her name is damaged in front of all students. Soon this thing will be exposed to the whole Roshord school and town.
“We can’t talk about this right here,” she silently told.
“There’s no ‘we’ anymore,” he shouted.
“Then how about I am coming with you to New York for your movie?” she still thinks about going to another country in this embarrassing state.
“Am I not clear to you? There’s no ‘we’ and Iam not taking you anywhere,”
“I will talk with your father,” she shouted, thinking both he and her parents were on her side.
“Do that. Who cares about that?” he smirked and she grabbed his hands.
“Don’t you dare do this to me? You don’t know the consequences,” she warned him tightly, gripping his hands. In response, he let go of her, pushed her down. She fell into the pool, splashing water everywhere. Now karma had its revenge back. She fell down like how she did to Charlotte. Tiffany kept her hands in her mouth in shock.
“I will kill you if you ever try to touch me. Rot in hell.” with that, he walked out of the place making everyone struck in their place. He confronted her, but no one can able to take a video because they were in the pool. Just a little bit of luck for Becca, but the news will spread no matter what. Caroline doesn’t talk about the video with Charlotte. She has no idea what happened between Daniel and Becca until now.
“That bitch deserves this,” Charlotte laughed at last, loud enough to be heard by Becca. But Becca was lost in thoughts. She’s in embarrassment.
WHO’S EXCITED ABOUT HOMECOMING? Chloe looked closer at the painting she drew a few days ago. She already drew the burning house which happened in real. It’s still hard to believe it. Is she physic? “Did you buy the dress?” Sara leaned closer near Chloe’s bench in drawing class. “What dress are you talking about?” Chloe asked, didn’t take her eyes off her painting. She is painting a princess. This time, her drawing is under her control. “Don’t you know that?” Sookie poked her nose in the middle of their conversation. “She doesn’t know that? Maybe she doesn’t have a date,” someone laughed over on the other side. Who will laugh like this except Becca’s friend? “Shut up, Tiffany. Don’t you dare intrude between us.” Sara warned her but Tiffany avoided and walked over to Chloe’s table? the teacher is distracted by a phone call. So, the class was so noisy except for some students who are drawing without getting distracted. “J
MEMORIES AND HEARTBREAKS Caleb is sitting on his couch having a photo of Ruby in his hands. There are no tears left to cry. He doesn’t want to go to school again. He paced back and forth in his room. Every memory of Ruby filled his mind. He still can’t forget the day he proposed to her. He can’t figure out why he’s so addicted to her. All he cares about is his passion and future. That’s why he never had any friends. He never cared about having a girlfriend until he met Ruby. Ruby is his obsession. ..... Caleb picked up Ruby from her home in his own car. The only car of Lowe’s family. “Where are you taking me?” Ruby happily asked him with her innocent smile. “You will see it soon.” they both locked hands and walked together into Caleb’s house. Somehow it feels like royalty. Caleb tied her eyes with a cloth and got her inside his house. At that time, they are just friends. Friends for more than four years. They bo
The girl slowly turned. “Taylor,” Ian breathed with a sigh of relief. What he said was true. Taylor has the same hair colour similar to Ruby. But she doesn’t look like Ruby. “What are you doing here?” Chloe asked. She can’t believe she has wrongly misunderstood the whole scenario. “What am I? I came here to shop for some dress for my brother and me.” Taylor explained and her brother came behind her looking perplexed by Chloe’s expression. “Sorry. It’s a misunderstanding. You can continue your work. We just came here to watch the movie,” Ian clarified. “Fine. Do you have anything to share? because Chloe looks so pale...” Taylor trailed off. “Nothing. I will take care of her” with that word Ian grabbed her arm and got out of the mall. “Trust me, Ian. I know how Ruby looks. It seems like our Ruby. What’s happening here?” Chloe still trying to prove it. “You need to calm down, Chloe. You still haven’t recovered from Ruby’s
A MESS New surroundings seem difficult for her. Deep inside her heart, she wants to join him. “You don’t want this. Nobody told me like this. You don’t need to work hard in your life. If you have any problems with your job, I will help you. Just be here for a while.” Her rejection hurts him. “But Daniel, Iam not feeling good these days after Ruby’s death and I don’t need help. I can able to manage my life with my current job,” she called his name for the first time. He seems a little happy hearing his name from her. “I understand you. Iam also having a difficult time due to a fake relationship. Won’t you help me?” “Um... I really want to. How about a hug?” she blurted. “Really! Iam okay with that,” ‘Oh no, why did I tell that?’ she thought to herself, stepping towards him awkwardly. She slowly hugs him. A shiver ran down her spine. In response, he wraps his arms around her. She felt so nervous and wants to step away bu
PASSED OUT Caleb punched his nose hard. Wes’s eyes watered. He was shocked by his sudden action. “How dare you?” Wes hissed, touching his bleeding nose. Tiffany stood beside Wes in surprise. Without warning, Wes punched Caleb in his stomach. He clutched his stomach in pain. Both sprang into action, fighting each other. All the students watched them but didn’t take a step to stop them. Tiffany motivated Wes to fight. Elliot’s trying to stop Caleb from fighting. “Professor Scott is coming. Stop fighting,” Bianca warned them, who they didn’t even hear her. She’s a Raven group cheerleader. She’s more concerned about Caleb because he got hurt in his life more than anyone. The footsteps got closer, and Scott entered the class, standing near the door. “What’s happening here? someone explain it,” He commanded. “I don’t know, sir. They are fighting. No one can stop them,” Bianca said in a panicked voice, staring at the p
WHAT A GREAT EMBARRASSMENT? “It’s me, Jason Lee. Don’t tell me you lost your memory?” He stepped towards her with a bowl of fried rice. “What’s this place?” Charlotte rubbed her eyes more than once. “It’s my home. You passed out. I took leave for both of us. Now how are you feeling?” He asked her with concern. “Somewhat okay. I haven’t eaten for a day.” “That’s why you need to eat,” Jason said, bringing a spoon full of rice to her mouth. “Are you going to feed me? Iam not a...” He fed her, stopping her from finishing speaking. “Hmm...it tastes good. I want more.” she licked her lips. Jason laughed and fed her until the bowl was empty. “You took leave for me. You may have any other works in a school.” “I have. Today we have swimming practise before the competition,” “Then why you take leave? You are the coach,” “I got it, dear. I appointed the best swimmer to take my place
BIANCA’S REQUEST A stern security guard looked down at four of the girls. They embarrassed Tiffany and got embarrassed by sneaking out on someone and sitting on the floor. “We... I am... we... are sorry,” Taylor stammered, and they ran before he said another word. When they came out, Tiffany and her friends already left. That’s a good thing. “Phew… we escaped,” Chloe let out a breath and looked at Ian, who was laughing at them. “Ridiculous girls. Now get in the car. Show time is over,” He called them and they followed him to his car. Ian took a seat in the driver's seat and Taylor was about to take a seat next to him. With hesitation, she turned towards Chloe. “Do you want to seat with him. He’s your date. I can’t interfere," she teased. “Nope. We are friends. Am I right, Ian?” Chloe asked and took a seat next to Sara and Sookie. “Yeah right.” He added, and Taylor kept silent for the rest of the time. …
Caroline stood in front of the mirror, seeing her new dress. She is wearing a simple light blue half-shoulder dress. The cafe is perfectly arranged in school. Care, Bill, Clary, and the others cooked everything. Lowe’s family got ready early. There’s more time for the party. “Am I looking cute?” Charlotte asked her sister. She’s in Light grey tulle with flowers fashionable party dress. “Perfect. You seem so happy?” “Homecoming isn’t for me but Iam going to see Jason,” she winked. Chloe and Caleb waiting in the hall. Ring. Ring. Caroline took her phone to see who was calling at this time. “Daniel,” she spoke with excitement. They both talked on the phone sometimes after she visited his mansion. But she didn’t expect him to call at this time. “You are leaving for the party, right?” “Yes. Come outside,” he commanded. She didn’t question him and came out of her house. She is shocked to see a limo right in front of her house. The bl
