We're in the theater room, where students from various strands of the twelfth grade will watch films created by each section of the Arts and Designs strand. Sierra informed me that their movie would compete with other sections of the same genre as theirs, and the winner will receive an award for the best film and, of course, will give them high credits that can help them in college. Their film's theme is romance, and Sierra is one of the key stars as well as one of the people that covered a song for their background music, which she just told me earlier this morning that I didn't have much time to react and congratulate her for having the lead part when the bell suddenly rang and the teachers lead as to the theater room.
Sierra and I only had a little time to spend together during the weekdays and even on weekends following that confession because

July 04, 2016"Did something happen that you didn't attend church yesterday?" Sierra began our conversation when she banged on the door of her locker. I leaned against the locker next to her, watching her every move. It's only our second class; we didn't meet earlier since I was late. I dozed and didn't see my alarm clock buzzing; if it hadn't been for Mildred, I'm not sure I'd be here."Nah, I just had to do some of my activities that I forgot to accomplish," I said with a wide grin. I took the books from Sierra's hands without asking, and we strolled along the corridor, where everyone was whispering at each other and staring at us—mostly at Sierra. I believe they're referring to her since the crowd is buzzing about their film, which premiered last Friday."Really? I thought Archer Leviticus was such a nerd."

September 07, 2021"I spotted you and your new girl in that hidden library, and you seemed to be having a serious conversation, so I didn't bother going in. But maybe tomorrow? No, not at all. I've changed my mind, Archer; I don't want to meet up anymore, and I can't promise anything either. You know what I mean."I stared at the letter flashing on my computer screen, reading and remembering every word from the username @iamthepersonwhokilled.sierra's alias. I'm not sure why his final letter kept playing with my head. He gave me this letter when I returned home after driving Kinsey to her condo, and that was the last time I heard from him after he ditched me in the library. Or maybe he was telling the truth and had been watching me talk to Kinsey the whole time. But what caused him to change his mind so abruptly? The longer I stare at his letter; the m

July 07, 2016"I can promise you that she looks considerably better today than she was before. She gets to our courses on time and no longer bothers me as she used to. She kind of respects our boundaries with each other; if I told her I needed to do something, she'd let me and never complain afterward." Sierra raised her hands and gave me thumbs up to reassure me about Maevis' acts and how Maevis treats her. "Also, Ms. Perez, our homeroom teacher, constantly observes her, and the school's psychologist counsels her daily." I gave her a hesitant smile and shrugged in response to her replies.It's break time, and we're enjoying yogurt in the school's garden. Some students are chilling here who don't make loud noises, so we decided the garden would be a good place to sit and talk. We're sitting on a bench in the middle of a field of daisies. Maevis has returned aft

"Uh... Hello." I spoke flatly while chewing the side of my cheek. I put my hands in my jeans pockets and attempted to smile at her, but I couldn't because I was still angry over what she had done to me."Hey, Maevis. Do you need anything?" Sierra stepped into our talk. Maybe she can sense my anxiety growing beneath me; I'm not sure why, but I didn't like this Maevis girl even before the first time I first met her. Even though our first meeting was such a disaster, she left me with a poor impression of her for the rest of my life.Maevis barely looked at Sierra before shrugging shyly and saying, "Not really, I really just want to apologize to him—to you, Archer." She stated it abruptly and fixed her gaze on mine, which threw me off guard. My eyes twitched in reaction, and I felt as if my tongue had been removed. She spoke again when I couldn't say a word.

"Five days suspension, Archer! Five days!" When Dad slammed the Principal's office door, he raised his hands and yelled at me.As we strolled down the corridor, I ran my fingers through my hair while holding an ice pack to calm the bruise around my eye. It's a good thing everyone has classes because if they don't, they'll undoubtedly witness me being chastised by my dad, which would be a massive humiliation for me.Owen is still inside the office, most likely being lectured by his uncle. He was only suspended for three days because, of course, he lied and persuaded the Principal that he was the victim here, even though I told the Principal that Owen hit Maevis with a ball on the head first and that I was simply standing up for that poor girl. But Owen insisted that it was all an accident. The way he delivered his lies was quite convincing. During my reaso

'You'll die soon.'"What is it?" Sierra expressed interest in my reaction. She widened the door of my locker, and I heard her gasp as she read what was written inside. "Do you know, or even have any idea who did this?""No," I muttered. "No," I grumbled. I couldn't believe what I'd just read, but then I discovered my locker wasn't locked at all, but I always locked it, just from the start. I opened it. I began raising and looking around my locker, but I couldn't find my key or the padlock to it."Here!" Sierra exclaimed. When I returned her gaze, she straightened up and handed me my key and the shattered padlock.My brow wrinkled even more as I wondered how these things ended up outside my locker. But when I returned my gaze to my locker's door and examine

July 07, 2016"Archer, even if Owen had done you wrong, you should not have harmed him. I usually encourage you to restrain your anger, so you should have just gone away." Mom broke the silence that had descended on all of us in the dining room."That's what I told him earlier, but he doesn't seem to listen," Dad remarked. In my rage at him, I almost kicked the table in front of us, but all I did was bite my lower lip, containing the anger that was building inside me. As they often say, repress and control yourself, since no one gives a shit about how you feel under this roof.Dad and I haven't talked or said anything to each other since we returned home; not that I want to, it's just unusual that he didn't chastise me again. I even thought he'd ask me why I was with Sierra, because all he'd ever known was I avoided

Speaking of Sierra, I need to talk to her—or at the very least hear her voice—to soothe these emotions roaring in me. It's only ten o'clock in the evening, and I'm not in the mood to finish my homeworks. Perhaps I'll just get out of bed early tomorrow morning to do those. My brain is so tired right, and now the only person I'm longing for is Sierra; she's like my rest every time I feel tired. Whenever I see her face, hear her gorgeous voice, or think of her, everything in me has since to be in an array. I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in months because of my insomnia episodes. I stopped taking the sleeping medications because I felt they had no effect; my spirit and mind were still awake; I felt like my senses were floating in the air, and when a new day comes I still felt so sick and tired."Archer, how are you? What are you doing? I kept messaging you, but you weren't replyi

"Where are we going?!" When the light from the lamp post crossed his eyes, I noticed how dark and horrible they were. I attempted to yank Archer's hand away from me, but he became quite violent."You fucking lied to me! And if you can't love me back, I'm going to get rid of you instead " There was no other man, no stalker, and a man with a face mask. It was just Archer and me. But before that happened, I called Emmy to the Meadowoods Library before Archer ever got close to me. When I asked for help for the third time, I told her that I would go with her since there's someone who's threatening to kill me. Of course, she was concerned.I had the entire plan written down before Archer did. But it was never my intent to drag Amalia under her grave."Calm down, Archer; we can talk this through." He was practically twisting my hands and tried to shove me inside his car while I was in pain. But I needed to buy some time because Amalia hadn't arrived yet."Why should we talk

Everyone in Camden Town knows practically everyone else, including the famous Mayor and his family. As I already stated, I did a great deal of reading and pondering before heading to that location. As a person who grew up in a bizarre and aberrant environment, everything must have a reason, or else your existence will be meaningless. My intention to kill myself was pure when I drowned myself, but after I was awakened, I gradually wanted to restart my life because of Jade and Everson, but my flesh was telling me that living a simple life was never for me. I knew Everson was friends with Archer; while I was going around Camden, I would see them together, and there was a whisper in my ear instructing me to do what I wanted to do. And it was to get close to Archer Leviticus. When I thought about him, I told myself that I needed to see a psychiatrist again since everything about me isn't normal anymore. I want to be good, but I also want to be bad. I started hatin

"Thank God, you're awake!" Jade pulled me back to life when I thought I had sunk to numbness. It was a terrible heartache, and I felt like Jade smashed my dream. I was already so close to dying. I was so enraged by her but something unusual happened to me that day when I witnessed a single tear fall from Jade's eyes. It was as if something struck my heart; it was the first time in years that I thought someone truly cared about me. And the fact that she was a complete stranger made me appreciate her even more. Someone risked her life to save a piece of garbage like me while I was alone in the vastness of the water. That day, I couldn't decide whether to be glad that He had kept me alive or angry because I knew that once I was living, something awful would happen in my life again. But now I already know the answer. Being alive is cruel to me. I didn't deserve to have a second life. It took me a week to finally respond to Jade becau

"She left us." I placed my hand on Amalia's shoulder to stop her from walking. "Let's just face it." I told her once again, and when Amalia eventually stopped, I closed my eyes in relief. She turned to face me, her eyes and entire face scarlet from crying. She knelt on her knees and cried even more, panting for breath. "Let's just say she's in good hands now—" "You can't rest assured! Allison, she's just thirteen!" She yelled at me. I looked around and noticed others stopping to stare in astonishment at us. I knelt down, took her hand, and pulled her up, but she quickly swayed my hands away from her. "How can you be so calm? Our sister has gone missing!" She yelled at me again, looking at me in utter disbelief. It had been a year; one day we woke up, Luisa was gone. I knew it would happen soon because Luisa kept talking about asking for help and what may have occurred to us only if we had gone with our sisters. So, I had the feeling th

"I fucking despise myself!" Amalia sobbed and smacked her head. I took a nervous breath and bit my bottom lip before taking Amalia's hand in mine and embraced her. She sobbed, burying her head in my arms to avoid looking at our sisters, who were being taken by the cops. While Luisa was sitting on the ground hugging her knees avoiding looking at our sisters. I watched them from a distance, hiding behind trees, as they were perplexed and puzzled of what was happening, their eyes wandering around, attempting to find us everywhere while they sobbed. We didn't have a choice but to leave them or turn them over; we didn't have the money to feed them any longer, and we all knew that keeping our younger sisters in our care wouldn't get us anywhere. The proprietor of the previous motel we were in was starting to get suspicious of us, first, we were just a bunch of kids, and he was perplexed as to why we only stayed in a room with one bedroom, and he probably also

Carrie was right the entire time because as I grew older, I learned that mama was more than just the mother figure we all want. She wasn't ordinary; she was above and beyond everyone else. She was observant and had finesse, and she knew how to bend straight lines without getting caught. She knew everything about evil, and she also taught me everything. Like Allison, I took Carrie's advice to gain Mama's trust. It wasn't easy, as she had warned me. I didn't know where to begin since whenever I approached Mama, all I could feel was nervousness, and she was always mad and strict with me. Facing her was like facing Satan himself. And what's worse was I had forgotten that I had once been Allison, and I had simply forgotten how to be like her. Allison, as I recall, was a crybaby who was always afraid but yet did things she was afraid of anyhow. But, as time went by, I grew accustomed to lying and became a professional, just like my mother. I felt like I had inherit

"Why are you crying? You should be happy that mama didn't punish you," Carrie said as she rubbed Allison's shoulder, prompting Allison to glance up at her sister. Carrie was eighteen years old and could live on her own, but their "mama" would never allow her or any of them. Allison sniffed and brushed her tears away, but they still wouldn't stop falling. Her eyes suddenly fell on Carrie's bruises on her bare arms and legs; she had received them just weeks ago when she attempted to flee and seek help from authorities. She was their mama's most trusted child, not just because she was the oldest, but also because she was the best at lying, but now she was just another piece of trash that their mama hid under the basement. "I simply didn't like what I did to Nathalia and her mother," Allison said as she shook her head and sobbed again. Their mother always told them not to cry because it only makes people weak, but Allison was only seven years old and couldn't kee

"Mama, I think what we're doing is wrong." Allison muttered as she looked at her mother, who was putting on her earrings while checking herself in the mirror. Allison's heartbeat raced faster as her mother stopped what she was doin; she already knew her mother was going to chastise her, one of her mother's dislikes are them talking back at her or being against or questioning her actions. She embraced the doll that Nathalia gave her, because she finds comfort in it whenever she is afraid, which she is all the time. Dahlia's mother was dressed in a black long-sleeved dress, scarlet stilettos, and her hair was carefully done into a bun. Her lips were as red as blood, and she was really going for a stunning look since she was going out to dinner with Grace's wealthy friends.

"Oh my god, thank you so much! This is the finest gift I have ever received in my life! I really love it!" Exclaimed Dahlia, Susie's mother, as she gazed at the embroidered hoop of flowers Grace had made for her. "Oh my! My ears would be clapping," Grace sheepishly said as she shook hands in front of Dahlia, but on the inside, she was ecstatic that Dahlia liked it. "No, honestly, you are really wonderful at this," Dahlia said as she set the embroidery hoop on a vacant chair to her right. "Thank you so much; I learned to embroider from my mother," Grace said, looking at her mother beside her. Grace's mother, Merriam, teased her, saying, "Grace loves delivering her embroideries to her new neighbors, and you would probably know what she would give you when holiday comes. On top of that, she would really spend her day only doing this, no doubt since our house is extremely filled with her works." They all laughed. "Oh, come on!"
