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
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
Meanwhile, Jason was talking with Charlotte. He can only wish to be in jail with her. On the other side, Ian came to visit Chloe. Chloe’s mood brightened after seeing Ian, but her fury grew after seeing another person.“What’s up, Chloe? Do you like it here?” Taylor spoke on the telephone.“What are you doing here? You already ruined my life. What else do you want?”“I want nothing. I just came to see you as a friend,”“Friend? Those days passed a long time ago.” Chloe laughed. All that Chloe can do is imagine herself breaking the glass without them and beat Taylor. She imagined herself killing Taylor with cold-blooded hands. Even if she’s not capable of it, she can change herself.“What are you thinking?” Taylor snapped her fingers.“Nothing. Just wishing that you could die one day,”.....Caleb preferred not to talk with anyone. He’s not even ready to meet
“Hey there, friends. What are you all talking about?” Ruby interrupted the four of them after she finished her enquiry with the detective.“First of all, we are not your friends. Whatever we are talking about is none of your business. Do you understand, Ruby?” Caroline said.“Nope. I don’t. We all were friends once. Why can’t it happen again?”“Because you betrayed us,” Caleb replied. Ruby stared at him and left. Soon, they were back in the cell. There’s no hope of getting out of here. At least for a while. But Ruby will be in jail for more than a year. She deserves it. That’s all anyone could say.Finally, the day has arrived. When all the siblings got a chance to meet their friends. Whoever is willing to see them.Caroline took the telephone, watching Daniel on the other side through the glass. Yes, it’s Daniel, and he’s here to see her.“Hey,” he spoke on the telephone, unsure o
“What?” the detective raised her eyebrows.“My sister Caroline got a threatening message from an unknown person named Mysterious wickedman. He’s the only one who knows that we killed Becca the very next day. He asked her to meet in an abandoned house near the graveyard. At the same time, my brother Caleb was at the place too. That Bastard tried to kill both of them. But somehow, they escaped by jumping from the window with some injuries. That was just the beginning. He did a lot to us.”“So, what’s his name again? Do you even recognize him? I hope you are not fooling me with an imaginary story,”“What the hell? Do I look like lying? We are all close to death every single day due to him.” Charlotte stood up, shouting at the detective.“Then what do you expect me to do? I can’t believe everything just like that. I’m supposed to seek evidence. Or else how would I even get this job?” She shouted back. They bo
