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 able to tell this to her closest friend Ian. ‘What if I told this to Ian’ this thought suddenly entered her mind, making her shiver? When she’s back in the world, she noticed Ian’s eyes on her.

“What’s wrong?” she widened her eyes. He just shook his head. Both are close enough to feel their breath. At the moment, Ian did something he never thought of all these years. He kissed her. Chloe doesn’t want to break it. Nobody kissed her. She doesn’t know how to kiss a guy, she just let him kiss her. When he looked up, she is unable to ask any questions.

“What does this mean?” She questioned innocently.

“I...” Ian can’t able to figure out what he feels about her.

“I will go get some drink. Wait here.” He changed the topic and walked to get some drink. "Attention students. It’s time to tell who’s the homecoming queen,” a young lady announced in mike. Everyone’s eagerly ready to hear it.

“Here, have it” Ian gave a glass of champagne to Chloe.

“The homecoming queen is...”

“Becca Sparks,” she finished.

Chloe dropped the glass after hearing her name. It’s shattered into many pieces. Everyone’s eyes watched Chloe.

“Iam sorry. I will clean it up,” Chloe bent down in panic. Caleb’s eyes watched her younger sister from afar.

“Where is Becca?” the lady asked again.

“She’s not here for a while,” Tiffany shouted.

“Maybe we will get her,” Wes volunteered and walked out of the hall with tiffany.

“Are you okay? Did you got injured by the glass,” Ian stared at her legs.

“Iam fine. The glass slipped out of the hands,” she lied, looked at her fine legs. Still, after an hour, there’s no sign of Homecoming queen Becca. Even after calling her parents, there’s no sign of her. Everyone wondered a lot. The students were sent home. Charlotte, Chloe, Caleb, entered the house. Care is waiting for them seated on the couch.

“What happened today?” She nervously asked no one in particular.

“Becca is the homecoming queen, and they sent us home when they can’t able to find her. Her parents don’t know about anything. The last call on her phone is Tiffany and Wes. So, they are still searching for her in school,” Charlotte explained, taking a seat next to Care, throwing her handbag on the floor in frustration.

“Oh, my god. We did a big mistake,” Care shouted.

“We forgot to destroy her phone. It’s still with her. What if they found it?”

“Shit.” Caleb kicked the nearby table with his foot.

“What can we do now?” Chloe panicked.

“Nothing to do. We are going to get caught. Maybe I should go back and...”

“Stop it, Caleb. We already took more risks. We can’t give more evidence. Iam not going to jail, neither you,” Charlotte shouted from her throat.

“We should go to our rooms. We can’t keep up shouting at each other. We are making more noise,” Care told and slammed her door shut without waiting for another’s reply. She can’t able to sleep. No one can able to sleep peacefully. She took her diary to write about today. Her hands trembled when taking the pen. This is her personal diary. Not even her sisters dare to open it.

Dear diary,

Today something happened which I can’t even believe. It’s haunting me. It’s killing me. I can’t live my life happily. Charlotte killed Becca. Actually, it can be called self-defence. Becca shot me first, so my sister killed her. She only knocked her, but Becca died in a flash of seconds. We four buried her in the school’s backyard in a gap. We cleaned up all the evidence, but Becca’s face is still in my mind. What if we were all caught and sent to jail? I don’t know how many years we will stay in jail. No one had the intention to kill her. I wish I could go back to the day’s beginning and chance everything. If I could do that, I wouldn’t have mentioned Daniel to Bill. Bill wouldn’t have proposed to me, he wouldn’t have been angry with me. I won’t be able to know that Bill sent that footage. Becca won’t even pay attention to me. She may not steal Chloe’s phone and locked her. I will get some air outside. I might have been talking normally with Bill and clary and giving cupcakes to students. Becca will be the homecoming queen. There’s a chance of having some problems because of Becca, but nothing worse than being a murderer. Iam relaxed that she’s dead but because of her we are all going to live a nightmare. Many questions going through my mind.

With that, Care was about to sleep. Whatever happens, she can’t stop herself from sleeping. Then she widened her eyes and took the diary kept in her bag. She can’t risk it by having an open diary near her when she’s sleeping. After she felt her diary is safe in the bag, finally she can able to sleep.

    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

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

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.

The detectives going to ask me some questions.” Tiffany broke the hug, washed her face, and walked out of Chloe’s sight. Chloe ran straight into Charlotte’s class. Every student left except Charlotte, who is talking with Scott. “I need to talk with you alone,” Chloe makes her words clear by interrupting their conversation. Charlotte uncomfortably smiled at Scott, who walked out of the class politely. “What’s going on, sis?” she smiled like everything is fine in her life. “Did you blame Tiffany for the footage?” Chloe commanded. Charlotte’s eyes widened, but she remained calm after a breath. “Yes, I did. Can I go now?” “Not yet, sis. Why did you do that? You know the truth that she doesn’t involve in it,” “So, what. I don’t need to explain this to you. I got to go.” Charlotte ta

Being alone will bring more sadness to her for sure. “Can I come inside?” Caleb asked her. She brightened a little and invited him. ..... “You keep on pacing around the hall for one hour. What’s wrong with you,” Chloe asked Caroline with irritation. Chloe is seated on the couch eating popcorn and distracting herself from the thought of Charlotte. She doesn’t want to think about her. “Today Daniel is leaving Roshord. He called me once, but I didn’t pick up. I was busy at work. Now he’s not attending. Hereafter, I can’t able to talk with me,” she told Chloe, who’s still distracted by Charlotte’s thoughts. Care is glancing at her phone

    MW IS HERE Caroline is lying on her bed with her phone. She remembered that she once had a fan account for Daniel Evans. When she opened it again on I*******m, there were more than 1000 followers. Who will follow an account without an update? Well, they did. She scrolled through her posts. Most of it is Daniel’s hot and sexy pics. Some photoshoots, billboards pictures, movie posters and also kissing scenes with the actress. She doesn’t like those pictures right now. She deleted some of it and posted her first picture with him. Surely, there will be more comments on it. She likes him a lot, but she can’t accept it. She doesn’t know whether she likes him or is just a fangirl like others. Caroline kept her phone done and slept the moment she closed her eyes. While Caleb entered the house, everyone’s door is locked. “Seriously, my sisters slept without cooking me dinner.” Caleb wondered, walking towards the kitchen hoping to find something to eat

Caroline reached him and tried to wake him up. He’s closed, but he’s not unconscious. He tried to clear the blur vision. He can’t even see his sister's face clearly. “Oh my god, Caleb. We need to go to the hospital,” Caroline’s voice rang in his ears. There are more screams and noise made by the people. Finally, Caleb concentrated his vision and his eyes wandered over the coffin.

    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.

    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.

    “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?
