Roshord high

Underestimate me. That will be fun

Roshord is a small town where everyone is busy with their works. Caroline hurried to the cafe in Roshord high wearing a linen apron on her dress. It’s been two years working here after graduating from college.

“Whoa, no need to rush. You are on time." Bill caught her near the door.

“Am I? my sisters took more time to get ready,” her eyes widened seeing him. Bill is her closest friend from kindergarten.

“I know that. Charlotte can’t be able to live without makeup. Now back to work, cappuccino for the students,” he clapped his hands and started serving. Roshord high is the amazing school in the whole town. The caffeine was built outside the school and everyone are invited. All the students are brilliant in their studies. While serving cappuccinos to people seated at the tables, Care spotted her sister Chloe. She’s in 11th grade.

“Can you join us? We want some cheerleading tips from you,” Sookie told Caroline. Sookie and Sara are Chole’s best friends.

“I still have more works but I can’t resist your offer. “She winked and sat next to her sister.

“All we want to know is more about cheerleading. The lacrosse match is coming soon and the wings team should win. We need the best song to encourage every player,” Sara asked with a brightened smile. It’s been two months since school begins. Students’ interest in extracurricular activities is more than studying.

“I was a cheerleader in my old days, but when it comes to songs, that person should be...” Care started.

“Ruby Espinoza” Chloe finished. She’s in the band and the best singer ever. She’s a well-known singer in Roshord. She even has many fans, still, most of the students won’t talk with her because she’s the best. The truth is, everyone’s jealous of her perfection. But her weakness is innocence. Anyone can easily fool her. Her friends can’t help her every time. She should protect herself or else can’t survive in this world.

Four of them turned to see ruby sitting alone at the table next to them. She’s buried her nose in the book and having the coffee near her untouched.

“I don’t want help from her,” Sara snapped in a disgustful tone.

“But she’s my friend, too. Whether or not you want help. I am going to call her. She’s sitting alone,” Chloe responded immediately.

“Rub...” she began and someone cat-walked over to her table.

“Get up you loser. I need a place to sit with my boyfriend,” Becca commanded.

“But... I am...” Ruby stammered, not moving a single inch.

“Seriously, why can’t Becca leave anyone in peace.” Care frustratedly got up from the table.

“Did anyone see who’s her boyfriend is? “Sookie’s jaw opened and kept on staring at him.

“That’s the famous actor Daniel Evans. What’s he doing with the girl like her?” Sara doubted.

“So, what?” Care took off to her table to stand up for Ruby. Chloe isn’t brave like her sister. She just watched them from the distance.

“I don’t care whether you sit or stand. I need this place right here, right now," she ordered again stressing those words. Before ruby could react in fear, Care took the coffee cup and spilt it in on Becca’s dress.

“What the hell? You spoiled my dress,” she screamed in disgust.

“It’s just a small price for the problem you are giving to everyone,” Care simply said with a satisfied look but she's little afraid of the consequences. She’s just got a little nervous about the famous actor who is staring at her. But she knows she can’t be distracted by him and his cuteness in this situation. Everyone’s attention is on the three of them.

“How dare you can do this to my girlfriend?" Daniel, the famous one, every girl’s crush, spoke to her for the first time furiously.

Her legs started to tremble when she looked at his ocean blue eyes. She loved all his romance movies and even wanted to meet him in person. He’s her dream boy. They are both the same age. But she didn’t wish for a situation like this. Two bodyguards are standing beside him for security. Here she is, dumbstruck. At last, she found the courage inside her.

“Did you see what happened here? She is like our family and your girlfriend can’t command her to do anything. If you want to date Becca, take her somewhere but not here.” She yelled with all the energy she got inside.

“I can go anywhere and everywhere. Who are you to tell that?” he stepped closer to her.

“I am going inside Dan and you,” she pointed at me.

“You are going to pay for this,” she threatened and walked away. She broke the conversation between her and Daniel. So, Care turned away to avoid seeing him.

“Stop. Don’t walk away like that. You are just a worker in this school. Apologize to me or I will make to leave this job,” he warns her furiously.

But Caroline went mad the moment he said he will make her leave this job. He was not kind as he was in the movies. Losing her temper, she slapped him hard. Her hands started to shiver the minutes she touched him. He has his hands on his cheek speechless. He always underestimated others and never met anyone who dares to slap him.

“Back off, lady," the security guard stood in front of her and was about to do something to her in anger.

“Leave her, I got this,” Daniel spoke calmly this time. “She doesn’t know me,” he whispered.

“No, I know you and you are different in real life,” she said with disappointment. Daniel walked away without replying to her.

“Caroline come here.” Chloe walked over to her shocked sister and patted her shoulder. Dan heard her name for the very first time and he can’t able to get his mind off the girl who slapped her. He isn’t angry anymore about her action. He didn’t feel embarrassed but lost in thoughts.

“Even though I am a fan of Daniel, I should tell you that you are awesome,” Sookie appreciated. Care doesn’t know why he didn’t hit her back or anything. She’s feeling sorry for her action. If Charlotte is in this place instead of Care, her sister wouldn’t have regretted slapping an actor.

“Okay. Get that off your head. Becca’s boyfriend will be the same as her. So, what you did was not wrong.” Chloe assured her. Care nodded and left without a word.

All these years, whenever Chloe drew something without knowing, it comes true. It’s weird right. But whatever happened is good, but she doesn’t know what will happen now. “IAM NOT A PSYCHIC!” she shouted at Taylor, but her voice was barely audible. Then she noticed Ruby’s face at the moment. “You have a bandage on your head. I didn’t see that in the morning,” she questioned. Ruby hesitated a lot and looked at the others, hoping they would answer it. “That’s because Becca pushed me down the stairs. I know she did it purposefully, but why she’s always targeting me. I did nothing to hurt her.” Ruby’s eyes welled with tears. Chloe doesn’t know how to comfort her." We can’t change her. I think you should tell this to the principal." 'That will make her angry to t

He hid under the bed and the door slowly opened, revealing Becca’s face. “I will be there, Tiffany,” she talked from inside her bedroom. Caleb put his phone in silent and stayed silent. Soon she walked near the window and closed it. At last, without a doubt, she left her room." Phew," he got up from the bed and escaped to the backside of the house through the window.

    CAN I EXPOSE HER SECRET? Ruby opened her locker. All her books, diary, papers, everything fell on the floor with a loud noise. All eyes are on Ruby Espinoza. Something was written on the side of the locker in red paint. “Hey, there coward, or can I call you loser?” She looked at everyone around there, controlling her tears. Laughter echoed in the hall and Becca was standing some steps away from Ruby. “You should see her face.” Tiffany laughed out loud. Why they are doing this without a purpose? There has to be some reason behind it. The red paint flows on the locker. Maybe It was painted a few minutes ago. Everyone looked sympathetically at her. She thought of bending down and taking all her books, but Becca wasn’t moving an inch from where she’s standing. “Becca, go to your damn class,” Charlotte’s voice echoed through the hall very loud and clear. “And also, you too,” Scott ordered to her friends Wes and Tif

Chloe asked, looking at her pale face. “I need to talk with you alone,” She looked at Ian, hoping he will leave. “Fine with me,” he shrugged. “Okay, now don’t take it wrong.

He thought he could spend some more time with her. “Oh no,” Scott gasped all of a sudden. “What’s wrong” Jason spoke to him for the first time. “Did you mind if I support Raven’s team?” Scott asked, in hesitation. “Seriously, man, I won’t be accepting it if you aren’t my friend.

    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.

    “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.

    “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 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.

    “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.

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.

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.
