Elisa’s POV
A few minutes later, Sebastian walked in front of me. I will be honest; he is different now compared to when he laughed with Melody earlier.
Due to what happened, I remembered when Melody and I saw him go to Emmanuel High School when the school administration suspended us. So, I became curious.
Why did he go to school, even though the school administration suspended us at the time when Mrs. Olivia was found dead in it?
I didn’t know why but my feet moved to follow him, “S-Sebastian!” I said to him, but instead of responding to me, he just continued walking, so I spoke again, “Hey!” I said, but he was still ignoring me, so I pulled him to the men’s bathroom.

Elisa’s POV After wearing my clothes, I helped Teacher Lelouch to tie Mr. Reyes because if he tells what happened earlier, there was a big possibility that the license for being a teacher of the man I love would revoke. We pulled Mr. Reyes to the abandoned classroom while he was unconscious, “Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are,” I sang. “Up above the world so high,” Teacher Lelouch continued singing, which made me look at him, “Like a diamond in the sky,” he sang. At this moment, the love I am feeling for him became more intense, “Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are,” we sang, and we put Mr. Reyes in
Elisa’s POV A minute later, I followed Teacher Lelouch and I spoke, “Sir,” I called him, so he stopped walking, which made me bite my lower lip, “Are you still going to my birthday party later?” I asked. “Yes,” he answered me, and he continued walking. He left me smiling alone in the hallway. I am happy because he is going to my party, even though what happened earlier in an abandoned classroom was chaotic. Instead of being sad, I went to the school garden to plant mongo seed in it; it is the school activity he told me to do to pass his subject. Even though I love him, I
Phoenix’s POV Teacher Lelouch and I went to Elisa’s room; when we arrived, I was shocked when I saw blood was covering Mr. Reyes’ lifeless body. He is naked and hanging on the ceiling. A picture of Teacher Lelouch and Elisa kissing in an abandoned classroom was on his tummy. A minute later, Sebastian and Melody also arrived in the room. Melody screamed upon seeing what happened to Mr. Reyes, “What happened to him?!” Sebastian asked. I can see that they are both scared. “I don’t know, I just saw him here!” Elisa answered, which made me angry. “Elisa, what is the meaning of the picture on Mr. Reyes’ tummy?!” I irritably asked her
Phoenix’s POV When we arrived on a bridge, under it was a river, “I think we can throw the corpse here,” Sebastian said to us, so I took a deep breath to have the confidence to do what we must do. I stopped the car then we left in it. Then, Teacher Lelouch, Sebastian, and I took Mr. Reyes’ corpse in the car’s trunk while Elisa and Melody were watching us, “Is this the right thing to do?!” Melody asked us, so Sebastian looked at her. I can see in her eyes that she is scared right now. “Yes,” he answered her, “Trust me,” he added. Teacher Lelouch, Sebastian, and I carried Mr. Reyes to the side of the bridge. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are,” I heard Melody sing. She is so nervous right now. “Up above the world so high,” I sang along with her, so she looked at me. “Like a diamond in the sky,” Elisa, Sebastian, and Teacher Lelouch sang along as well. At this moment, I am more eager to
Phoenix’s POV When I opened my eyes, I realized I was lying on the bed here in my room. Until now, I cannot forget what happened last night. I still remember how we threw Mr. Reyes’ corpse in the river, and it seems to me that my conscience is convicting me for it. A few minutes later, mom entered my room, and she sat on the bed where I was lying, “Are you not going to school?” She asked me. Instead of answering her, I closed my eyes again because I did not want to talk to her. She took a deep breath and spoke again, “Look, I know you don’t want Lelouch to be my boyfriend, so I decided to end our relationship,” she said, so I opened my eyes.  
Elisa’s POV Melody and I went to the women’s bathroom. Then she locked its door; good thing only us were here, “Why did you slap him?!” She angrily asked me. “That man is a liar, he falsely claimed we were in his heart, but the truth is only Phoenix’s mom is in there!” I angrily explained to her. “That’s just the reason why you acted like a toddler earlier?!” She asked me, which made me cry like a toddler. I feel that someone stabbed one-thousand knives on me. I can also see in her eyes that she still cannot believe what happened earlier. “Melody, I love him!” I said to her while crying, “If for you that’s shallow, it’s not for me! I gave everything to him! What else do I need to do? What else?!” I
Elisa’s POV I still cannot believe that Melody, my friend, stabbed me in my back. Even though I was weak now, I still stood up, “Why?” That was the only word that came out of my mouth because I was now frail. She sarcastically laughed and threw the mask she was holding, “Simple,” she said. “To hide the crime,” she said, which made me curious. “What do you mean?” I asked Melody, so she smirked. Then, she looked at me from head to toe. “Well, since you’re going to die, I will tell you the truth,” she said to me, “First of all I killed Mr. Lincoln, Athena, Mrs. Olivia, and Mr. Reyes. You were supposed to be blamed on Mr. Reyes’ death, but it seemed that I cou
Patrick’s POV I am sitting on my chair in front of the table here in the precinct. I am wearing right now a police uniform. Until now, I am thinking about how I saw Phoenix unconscious in the bathroom in a bar last night. I am sure; the woman, who was with him last night, did that to him. A few minutes later, a couple arrived in the precinct, and they came to me. I can see in their eyes that they are scared. “Hello, we just want to report something really important to you,” the man said to me. “What is it?” I asked, and his wife started to talk to me. “Our daughter, Elisa Cruz, left our house last nig
Phoenix’s POVI did not shoot Mantus using Sebastian’s gun when SPO2 Patrick Smith repeatedly shot me on my body. “Stop it!” He screamed. I was not able to stand up because of what he did. After what happened, his tears started to fall, and he kneeled.“You! Who do you think you are shooting!?” I angrily asked him. Then, I coughed blood, and I let go of Sebastian’s gun. After that, I looked at the people around me. “Why do you all not understand?! I am a victim of my brother!” I angrily added. A few seconds later, Mantus took the gun of SPO2 Patrick Smith, and he pointed it at me.“Arrest him now.” He coldly said to the other police officers. So, they came to me. Then, they handcuffed me. After that, I lost my consciousness.They brought me to the hospital to treat my wounds because SPO2 Patrick Smith shot me many times. Also, I found out I would not be able to w
Phoenix’s POV I smirked when Mantus texted me the address where he wanted me to meet him. So, I forwarded it to Sebastian. Then, I drove my car there. I will be honest; I feel the end is near! I arrived in an abandoned warehouse where he wanted me to meet him. I parked my car then I entered there. I saw Mantus sitting on the floor while solving the Rubik’s cube. “Why do you want me to go here?” I asked him. Instead of answering my question, he continued solving the cube. A few seconds later, he solved the Rubik’s cube. So, he stretched his arms. Then, he looked at me. After that, he stood up. “We meet again Phoenix—” he did not man
Phoenix’s POV When I opened my eyes, I realized I was in the hospital room. Many things were injected into me while lying on the bed. A few minutes later, SPO2 Patrick Smith entered the room. “You are now awake,” he said to me. “You have been comatose for three days.” He added. So, I closed my hand. “Is mom alright?” I asked him. Instead of answering my question, he took a deep breath. “Answer my question.” I coldly said. So, he seriously looked at me. “She is dead.” He answered me. So, I closed my eyes again. I will be honest; I am happy mom is dead because she is worthless. She loved my older brother more than me. “I am sorry for what happened—” he did no
Phoenix’s POV After what happened, I threw the sandwich Mantus gave me into the trashcan. Then, I put in my bag the research paper written by Sebastian and me. A few minutes later, Sebastian arrived. “Did you do what I said?” I asked him. So, he smirked. “Yeah,” he answered me. So, he took the watch of Mantus in his pocket. Then, he gave it to me. “I already did what you want.” He said, so I sarcastically laughed. I ordered him while we were eating in the cafeteria to take the watch of Mantus in his locker and change it with a fake one while we were competing in swimming. However, I told him the wristwatch should be identical to his, so he would not reco
Phoenix’s POV I slept late last night after I proofread the research paper of Sebastian and me. I sat on the chair beside the window while my classmates were noisy. A few minutes later, Teacher Lelouch arrived with a man. I feel his age and mine are the same. Right now, the man is wearing a watch on his right arm, and he is holding a Rubik’s cube. My classmates became quiet when they went in front of us. “Class, I want you to meet your new classmate. He is Mr. Samuel Cumberbatch.” Teacher Lelouch said. So, I looked at them. “May we know more details about you?” He asked Samuel. So, Samuel bowed in front of us. “I am pleased to meet you all.” He sai
Lelouch’s POV It is 8:00 p.m.; I am sitting on the sofa in my house. I am only wearing shorts right now. I will not lie; I miss Yvonne because we have not talked since we broke up. A few minutes later, I heard the doorbell of my house ring. So, I opened the door. I became happy when I saw Yvonne outside of my house. She is the woman I love. “Yvonne!” I happily said to her. “Why are you here?” I asked. When I saw she was sad, I started to talk again. “Is there something wrong
Patrick’s POV Mantus and I were about to enter the house, but we stopped when we saw its gate was locked. “The gate is locked,” I said to him. So, he irritably looked at me. “Do something! Why are you always telling me what happens?!” He angrily said to me. So, I looked at our surroundings to find who could help us. A few seconds later, I saw an elderly walking. So, I talked to the elder, “Hello, ma’am. Do you know who is living in that house?” I asked her. Then, I pointed at the house in front of us. “No one is living there. The house has been abandoned for a long time—” she did not manage to continue to speak when Mantus started to talk to her.  
Patrick’s POV After I told Mantus everything that happened in Nate’s case, including how Rafael Lawliet went missing, I gave him a piece of paper. His brother told me to give it to him before he died. “What is it?” He asked me while holding it. “Sage gave that to me before he died,” I answered him. “He also told me to give that to you if he fails to investigate Nate’s case,” I added. So, Mantus looked at the paper. He saw the things written there. He also told me to sit beside him to see them in the paper. So, I did what he wanted. The things written in the paper are numbers one to nine. Lines and dots triangulated every number. “I think your brother was pran
Aira’s POV I am sitting on the sofa in my condo unit. It is already midnight, but I am still not sleepy. I am thinking about what happened when I learned Sage was dead until Mantus tried to kill me. A few minutes later, I heard my phone ring, which meant someone was calling me. So, I answered the phone call. “Hello.” I said to the person. “Hello, Ms. Freud!” The American in the other line nervously told. “Mr. Mantus Taylor escaped again.” She said to me. So, I took a deep breath. “Do not worry, I will do my best to find him.” I said to her. After that, I ended the phone call. Then I smirked.&nb
