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 only for today.” He gave his charming smile and kept the bowl aside.
“Thank you. No one cared for me when I needed someone the most.” she always gets angrier and when she’s upset, no one takes a move to be with her. Even her sisters and brother feel like she needed to be alone. But she needs someone to accompany her. She never admitted that.
“Iam here for you. You can share anything with me,” then they both locked their eyes.
“You got something in your mouth,” he said and lightly ran his thumps on her lips. Taking it as a right moment, he slowly slides his hands on her hair and he kissed her. She didn’t try to resist it. She liked him since she saw him.
He stopped kissing and whispered, “Are you sure that...” he began, but she answered him by deepening the kiss. Jason laid her on the bed while kissing her. Now they are both lost in a world where there’s no one but them.
......
“Are you sure about this? I don’t feel like buying a dress for homecoming,” Chloe muttered to Sookie while they are heading towards the shop. Ian is driving his car. Taylor, Sara, Sookie, Chloe all together going to shop for homecoming.
“Then just put some a maid dress on and come to school. Is it okay?” Sookie insulted her. When they reached the shop, Ian complained, “Don’t take so much time. A piece of advice for girls. It’s my fate that Iam the only boy here,”
“You got no other option. Sacrifice this day for your friends,” Taylor giggled. Ian went to the other side, searching suit for him.
After an hour, the girls are still choosing.
“Oh, my gosh. I chose a black suit, but you are still searching. Are you going to buy the store? Hear me, I can’t pay for it,” Ian told having his suit in his hands.
“We are not like you and you need to wait for just two hours,” Taylor bossily ordered and other girls laughed.
“Majority wins. Iam going to walk around this whole shop again,” he replied dryly.
“Hey, girls. How it is?” Chloe asked them, holding a gradient colour chiffon one-shoulder dress.
“Amazing. It’s perfect. Try it” Sara said. That dress suits perfectly. Chloe and Taylor tried an elegant casual lace short sleeve dress and twirled in front of her friends. Soon everyone found their dress.
“Great job. You all are done. I roamed the whole store. Can we go now?” Ian said without patience and looked at Chloe.
“You need to wait, boy,” Taylor said, approaching the counter. Ian got distracted by Chloe’s dress.
“Can you show me your outfit?”
“No, see it in homecoming,” she silently said.
“Not fair. I showed mine. Show me yours,” he pleaded.
“Iam going to dance with you in homecoming. So, you have that all day, not today.” Sara and Sookie heard what she told.
“What? He’s your friend. When did you become a couple? Why didn’t you tell me sooner,” Sookie blurted without letting her speak?
“No, no. We are still friends. I got no date, so we both are going together,” she replied in a panicked voice.
“Yeah right,” Ian told them behind her.
“Hmm... I see,” Sara smirked, still not trusting them. Then the girls went to buy the necessary cosmetics and accessories.
“How is this?” Chloe asked, holding a blue necklace to her neck.
“Yeah good. Buy it,”
“First I will try it,” she said, bringing it to her neck.
“Wait, I will put it,” Ian suggested, and she slowly pushed her hair on one side when he stepped towards her. She felt nervous when his icy hands lightly touched her neck. And his breath near her neck tickled her.
“Perfect,” he said and glanced at his watch. It’s nearly nine.
“Is that Becca?” Taylor raised her voice, seeing from the distance. Becca, Tiffany, Wes, and another boy are selecting outfits.
“If there are here, I would have not come here,” Chloe growled.
“We don’t know about. Why don’t we follow them?” Taylor asked.
“Have you lost your mind?”
“No, I want to do something for them. Just follow me,” she moved towards them, hiding behind many long outfits.
“I think she lost her mind.” Chloe confirmed it to Ian and followed Taylor without an interest.
“Just watch Tiffany. You should know something about her.” Taylor pointed at them. All of them go in different directions.
“Who’s that new boy?” Chloe questioned.
“He’s Sam, Tiffany’s boyfriend,” she told when Sam left the dressing room. Tiffany took a long time to change her dress.
“See her. I already know about her. Now I am going to embarrass her,” Taylor smirked while Chloe looked closer at her. Tiffany is wearing dresses inside the dress. Cheap bitch.
“When did she start stealing?” Chloe gasped.
“Shhh... silent,” Taylor alarmed her and went to a nearby worker inside the shop. After a minute, she came running towards Chloe and laughed uncontrollably. Chloe looked at tiffany through one eye.
“Do you want to go to jail for stealing from here, girl?” A man scolded her and everyone watching her, including Becca. Tiffany looked so embarrassed she can’t even look at Becca or her boyfriend.
“Her unfortunate day. Iam feeling sorry for her,” Chloe worried a little.
“Don’t be. She deserves this,” Taylor assured her and both Sara, Sookie, laughed with hands closing their mouth. Ian doesn’t want to sneak around someone. He stayed away from them. Four of them are sitting on the floor hiding behind many outfits.
“What are you all doing here?” someone appeared in front of those laughing girls.
A few minutes later, Scott stopped breathing. He’s dead for real.“That’s enough, Ruby. Give me the knife.” Caleb snatched it away from her. It almost has cut his palm in the force.“First of all, how did you even get a knife?”“I found a lot of knives in this room. I got one before Scott came here.” Ruby replied. On the other side, Charlotte was crying so hard.“Please, don’t leave me, Jason. You don’t deserve to die.” She sobbed, hugging him. Jason is too weak to reply to her.“Call 911. Jason’s dying.” Charlotte ordered her siblings. Caleb heard her and took his phone. Will it be too late?“What are we going to do with the body? Should be hidden this murder too?” Caroline asked with fear.“No. The game’s over. There’s no point in repeating the same mistakes again and again.” Ruby said wisely.“Then what are you suggesting, Ruby?” Chloe asked.
Ruby went down the stairs as Charlotte and Chloe followed her. Without having much of a choice, Caleb, Caroline, and Jason followed them. They all ended up in a single room full of many monitors, full black suits in a closet, some electronics like laptops, tabs, cables etc... Caroline stepped carefully without getting trapped in the cables.“Is this Scott’s place to monitor us?” Caroline asked.“What the fuck are you talking about?” Charlotte asked, in complete shock. Her sister hasn’t told the truth yet.“Scott is the threatener, Char. We are sure of it.” Caleb said, without a doubt.“Wow, a teacher is capable of all these things. His death is coming closer.” Ruby surely said. At the same moment, the large monitor in the middle of the room lightened up.“Congratulations, Caleb. You are right. It’s me, Scott. All this time. By the way, I’m not the one who’s going to die. It’s going to be you,
“Scott? Charlotte’s best friend. The one who came to see her in the court.” Caleb asked for clarification.“Yeah, it’s him. How is he related to Becca? What’s his relationship with her? If Char knows something, she would have told us,” Care wondered and saw someone standing alone on the road.“Is it Jason? Am I right? Can you stop the car, Cal?” she asked as her brother did what she said.“Hey, what are you doing here? Is there any problem?” she asked from the window.“Um...yes...no. I’m not in any trouble. I was just lost in thoughts. I was about to reach home. What are you doing here? You both can’t wander anywhere while the threatener can be anywhere.”“We know. We...” Care turned to her brother. “Can we get help from him in searching all this evidence?”“Do you think it’s a good idea? We can’t get him in any trouble again.”“Yeah. I don’t know but I feel like we sho
“So, what are we doing now?” Chloe asked while keenly entering all the rooms in their house and looking for cameras.“We are going to Becca’s house. How many times do I have to say this?”Caleb let out a sign and made his way out of their house.“Without a plan?” Care questioned.“We will figure it out on the way,” He replied. Everyone joined him in the car except Chloe.“Hey, aren’t you coming?” Char asked.“No. We really have to find the secret basement and the cameras. I can’t take my mind off it since Ruby said it.”“But we can’t leave you here all alone. Come with us,” Care said. But Chloe is stubborn this time.“I guess someone has to be with her. It’s time for a split-up,” Charlotte said, getting out of the car.They all agreed. Care and Caleb are on their way to Ruby’s house.“So, what’s your plan? Do you have one?”
I couldn’t believe. That the threatener had a secret basement in their own house. The siblings are ready to find the basement. First, they have to cross the first challenge. Trail in the court. It was pretty rough. All they got to have is hope. The undefeatable hope. The anxiety continues to rule in the court until the siblings heard the most important word ever. The one word that could make them feel happier after an eternity.“.... Not guilty,”The siblings almost yelled in happiness and hugged each other. The lawyer looked at them with satisfaction and he glanced back at Daniel. Who’s the reason for their happiness.Caroline broke into her hug with Char and approached Daniel. “Thank you so much. I will never forget this. Ever in my life. I thought everything’s over.... but then...” she got emotional.“Hey, it’s okay. Everything’s alright now. Hereafter, you all even get to be safe from the threatener.
“Stop your useless argument and warnings. No one’s going to do anything to anyone.” Care shouted from her throat.“Why would you think so less of me?” Char asked.“It’s not about that. Right now, this is not the right conversation.”“I will get to the point. We need help from you, Ruby. And you won’t be saying ‘no’ to that. I’m sure of it,” Care added.“Really? What’s your request? Let me hear it.”“We four of us will be out of prison after the trial in the court. Since the killer is standing right in front of me, we will be free in some weeks. Plus, what Charlotte did was self-defence and we will even get extra protection in our house to protect us from the threatener. The detective is searching for him without sleep...”“Okay. Stop it. Come to the point. I don’t want to hear all your advantages,” Ruby interrupted her.“Fine. Tell me everything you know about MW. Tell
