They dropped her to see who was talking, and soon enough, their gaze fell on me. The thin one's stare w, as intense, probing, and seemed to cut through any pretense or hesitation. His gaze was fixed on me, and he didn't flinch or look away until he started walking towards my direction. His stare was so intimidating and unsettling. I start to feel a tinge of fear inside me. All of a sudden, they both burst into laughter, and their laugh echoed through the alley. Which made me look confused. Why on earth are they laughing? "Diana" Kira's eyes wander around "What the hell are you doing" "Get the fuck outta here" "And do what,...leave you?" I said back in reply "Hey hey hey" what's up with all the noise says the big one and he started looking at me "So you're the saviour hun?" Says the thin one as he started walking towards me little by little but was later held back by the big one. I skid to a halt as my pulse thuds "Okay calm down" I said to myself "This is still daybreak.
"Hola," she said laughing "You?" I said to her "You are so dead girl," I said to her but she took heels already "I just wanted to scare you a little that's all" "Scare me a little?" "Yeah and guess what it worked" "It worked? Well congratulations to you cause you scared the daylight out of me already" "What? You haven't seen me for a long time so don't tell me you were expecting a normal entry" "Of course, I shouldn't have cause you're not normal I knew that from the start" "I'm supposed to come in with a grand entry a spectacular one at that as per the celebrity that I am" "Oh please, spare me the bullshit" "You it's the truth baby girl this girl in front of you ain't small... she's got some wings and wins" she said dramatically "Well don't spread that wings over to my side to avoid me chopping them off for you" "Ouch.. that's cruel" "Cruel? Not even close" "You idiot... Where is Kira" "Kira?" "Yeah, Kira... what did you do to her...you almost made me forget I was lo
Bianca has been my friend since High school. We don't really offer the same course except Algebra, Spanish, and Phys. Ed. My stay in High school would have been boring without her. The first time I met her, I was on my way out of Algebra class when I suddenly bumped into her. She has really long and lustrous hair, a shade of golden sunshine that catches the light with every movement. It fell in gentle waves around her face as she bent down to pack her things that had delicately beautiful framing features. Her eyes are a bright blue, like the depths of a clear summer sky, and they shine with intelligence and a touch of mischief. Her skin is creamy and flawless, with just a hint of a rosy flush on her cheeks. She is slender and Her smile is warm and inviting. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean for that to happen" I said to her and she gave me a warm smile "It's okay don't worry," she said in her tiny voice not like now that her voice was matured "Yeah thanks," I said and gave her a warm smi
"Looks like someone is jealous.. don't worry you can come here too," Bi said and we all hugged each other "Ok guys that's enough I'm starting to suffocate" "Sorry," Bi said laughing "I'm glad you're back though... it's nice to have you back" "Yeah...I missed you guys too..." "And lest I forget, I've got something for you guys but it's only one so I don't know how you guys wanna go about it" "Ermm...why will you just get one stuff for the both of us?" "Don't mind Diana, tell me what you got?" "Okay as I was coming over, I saw a smoothie Van, so I stopped by to buy one and see if it's cool...you know..." "Wait, so that means you didn't get us anything from the start" "Er... oops sorry" She said in a childlike manner "So... what happened afterwards" Kira asked before I got to question her again "Oh yeah...as I was saying before, I was rudely interrupted by this little girl right here...so I bought one and drank a little to see if it was c,ool, of course, and thankfully it was
"Bi, you do that?" "It's not that worse okay... she's exaggerating... but I'm not actually a saint either... just trying to be a better citizen you know" "For a government that doesn't remember you exist, oh please,", I said, laughing 🐮 "I can't believe this Bi, I thought she's like better than us you know... with the touch and everything" "What else would you expect from a rich girl like her" "Stop flattering yourself, guys" "Are we flattering Kira?" I said as I placed it around her neck as we walk "Nope we ain't" "See" I said but she just rolled her eyeballs "Orr..is she here to see her boyfriend? Don't you think Kira?" "Hmmm..yeah that's true," she said in my support..." But does she have a boyfriend though," she said whispering into my ears "Yeah she does...since High School" "Oh wow that's cool" "I know right... The guy is so hot... you have to see how he looks...you won't be able to take your eyes off him trust me" "What are you guys whispering about?" She said cu
"Fuck Katie wherever she is," I said out loud "Ok, you don't have to be that mean; it's gone already. I guess I'm not just good enough for him, but who cares? Look at me now; I am doing just fine." "Way to go girl" Kira said as they both exchanged a high-five "Yeah yeah I'm glad you are back on your feet now" "And to suit your conscience, I have some unfinished business to take care of" "Unfinished business??" I asked confused "Yeah it's nothing actually, my Dad took care of it just wanna make sure all is good" "Ok, enough about me. How about we talk about... err...Kira" she said turning towards her direction "What! Mee?" "Yeah you," I said smirking "No way," She said scoffing "Yes way" I said giving her a wicked smile cause I was about to ask her what she'd been avoiding talking to me about all these days and I knew she was not gonna like it especially when Bi was here but that's gonna make things easier cause I'm gonna get Bi into making her spill the beans. "You, bet
"Eiii" I shouted at her but her focus was still fixed on where we were going as we moved closer I started the crowd's conversations faintly Crowd 1: who the fuck did this man? Crowd 2: Son of a bitch, why did they dump this shit here when they could have just dumped it in a goddamn bush or sea Crowd 3: She probably got what she deserved Crowd 4: They ain't get no shame in this city man, I can't believe they fucking did this to a human "What do you think happened Bianca" Kira asked Bianca while I tried to listen more "I seriously don't know, Kir still can't hear anything. Can you Diana?" She said facing me at the back " I can't understand what's going on either but the situation is probably serious" "Ok, I'm starting to have a feeling about this. Should we just go back?" Kira asked and I ended up laughing but not too loud to not draw attention to myself "What happened to your courage now hun? We are already here so there's no going back" I said tapping her shoulder "Look, we
"It can't be her Diana, Ary is absolutely fine," Bianca said trying to reassure me but it was not just working "And how do you know she's fine I just want to check that's all I'm sure there's no harm in checking" "Ok how do you want to check when we can't even see her face" "I will find a way" "And how can you be so sure the purse is hers" "I gave her the purse Bi so I know and I'm sure it's hers" "Guys guys guys I think I hear the cops," Kira said "Still not gonna stop me from checking" "Are you an idiot, you wanna fucking get involved with the cops?" Kira yelled at me "I'm not directly getting involved with them you guys" "And what if they detect your fingerprints on the body cause there's no way you're not gonna touch that body," Kira said "I just wanna check it's nothing much I just wanna clear my doubts leave me alone" I said and jerked my hand away from Bianca "Why do you have to be so stubborn about this" "Ok listen, how about I call her then, okay?" "Okay," I sai
Bianca and Kira"Annoying brat," Kira said'C'mon Kira stop it now' Bianca told her"Yeah whatever""And by the way where do you guys work" Bianca asked"Not really somewhere big and it is not small either it's you know there""So where exactly" Bianca asked"Some restaurants like I don't know maybe three or four miles from here" Kira replied"And do they pay you guys well I mean well as in enough for your upkeep" Bianca asked"Yeah not really that much but at least it is better than none" Kira answered"Hmm and your boss is not that cranky cuz I know some boss can be crazy sometimes" She asked laughing a lil"Cranky cranky is an understatement that man or guy or whatever he is he is a wizard trust me" Kira also said laughing"I see it's a "he," She said nodding"Yup""And he is a wizard," Bianca said"Yeah not like a wizard I was just you know trying to qualify his attitude and all" Kira replied"Yes, I understand," Bianca said laughing "I just wish it is not all bosses that is ours
"Errm yeah," Kira said"No that's not possible we don't have any of this stuff in here well except for flour Ary always made sure we don't run out of any very important," I said"You mean all these things?" Bianca said opening a freezer that was locked behind a door that I'm sure I've never seen in my whole life I've been with Ary and my mouth opened wide in surprise"I can't believe Ary has all this in the house while I starve most of the time and eat sandwiches like there's no tomorrow or probably some stolen foods I got from the restaurant while we have good stuffs in the house" I said in my mind"But where did she get all of these good foods from? Did she rob a supermarket? I said in my mind""And what if I told you guys I never saw all these since I've been living here?" I said still staring at the fridge"What?" I hear Bianca say"Yup," I said and closed back the fridge"So you mean you don't know all these things exist in your kitchen?" Bianca asked"You don't wanna know" I sai
"I'll be patiently waiting for ma'am and you can as well break the door too since that's your plan" she shouted so I could hear her but I ignored I entered the bathroom and turned on the shower to see if I was good to go but there was no water again, sighing I went to the backyard and fetch myself some water shortly after I entered the room and placed the water in the bathroom I left the bathroom and entered my room to get undressed"Man it's so hard pouring water on one's body these days," I said and scratched my head, after some seconds of thinking I opened my wardrobe to pick another towel to tie thankfully I had an extra I could use if not I would have to come out dripping with water from the bathroom I decided to play some songs before I entered the bathroom since it's been a while I heard some so I decided to play Girl in the mirror by Bebe Rexha"Good," I said and tapped on the song 🎵🎶 "I'm tired of my thoughts They weigh me down, feels like I'm drowning I'm tired of my f
"Diana where are you" I hear Bianca call out to me and I hurriedly closed the wooden cover and went outside to meet her"Hey Bianca what's up," I said and she turned to face me"Oh yeah where were you been looking for ya" she said"Still in the house all good?" I asked"Yeah just curious since I couldn't find you anything much" She said and we sat down"Yeah being wanting to ask hole you're good staying here I mean you know my life hasn't always been like this so if you're not comfortable with anything you can tell me I'll try my best to make it happen," I said to her"Are you kidding Diana it's cool here yeah it's not all fancy and all the expensive stuffs are not here for you, not the house nor the expensive stuffs and I know it's all for a small period of time it will all get better soon I know it?" Bianca said holding my shoulder and giving me a reassuring smile "Aww thanks, Bianca," I said and smiled at her then pulled her into a hug to hide my teary eyes "It's okay Diana every
Diana POV"Geez" I can't believe I almost injured myself with the door. Thank goodness she didn't see that after I left the room I went straight to the living room and sat down for a minute. Shortly after I decided to go check up on Ary in her room and maybe tell her about what happened yesterday depending on the situation I met her in"Oh God, I still feel sleepy; I don't know why Kira woke me up," I said and walked sluggishly to her room. "Knock knock" I knocked on her door yawning but there was no reply"Maybe she's still sleeping" I concluded and left the door"Wait a minute, didn't Bianca say it was afternoon already? It's not possible she's still sleeping" I said and turned back to her room"No no wait, what is she's sleeping I might end up disturbing her sleep and she's not going to spare me if I did" I said and turned back again fearing her scolding"Just a check won't hurt not that I'm going to make any noise or anything," I said to myself and then summoned the courage to wa
Kira POV"Are you awake yet?" I asked Bianca who seemed to be half awake but I didn't get a response"I guess not," I said sighing I kept looking up with my hands folded to the back of my head staring at the ceilings "I'm awake" I hear Bianca say tiredly"Argh Finally someone is awake you guys were sleeping like you're not going to wake up again " I lamented out of anger"We were just really tired Kira, but how come you are awake so early in the morning?" Bianca asked rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm like she still wanted to go back to sleep only if she knew what the time says"Early, you say. Do you know what the time is? But I guess not" I asked"10 o'clock maybe?" She asked"Oh you wish it's fucking twelve already" I said rolling my eyes"Oh my goodness, I can't believe I slept that long and I haven't eaten," She said and held her grumbling tummy"We slept late so that's worth the sleep," I told her"Since when have you been awake?" She asked"I don't know, eleven, maybe
"What?" I said "fuck I wasn't expecting that," I said in my mind"Yeah we didn't do anything" Elliot said in our defense"You tell that when we get to our office," He said and took us to the car we tried explaining to him that we didn't do anything but he wasn't listening looks like it was a bad day for him and it Elliot's involvement wasn't helping looks like he was already on their bad side so it made things a lil bit worse. And that was how we ended up at the police station"Whoa," Kira said"Good thing it's all settled now," Bianca said"Yup glad it did" I said"But how did Ary's purse end up with her?" Bianca asked"That's what I don't understand," I said"But Ary said her purse was stolen," Kira said"But she doesn't look like someone from the street," I said"Or maybe she's a godmother or what else will she be doing with a stolen purse"Kira said"She might be the one that stole it and ended up in some bad stuffs that led to her death since Ary didn't really see who stole it we
"What do you mean that's Ari's name" He also asked surprised"Yeah Ary Ariah," I said"But this doesn't make sense," I said"Yeah, but the cop did say they found two ID cards in the purse, though, so we don't know who is who", he said while I just nodded and continued searching this time thoroughly for more reasons why I needed to find some information about the body. After some moments I found a file which I guess belonged to the case so I dusted it and brought it out"I think I found something," I said and placed the file on a table I brought out the papers and checked out what was insideFace Identified: Sarah JordanMarital status: unknownFather: unknownMother: unknownSiblings: 1Husband: Not marriedChildren: nillHeight: 5'6Death type: Homicide"Come take a look at this El" I called out to him"What's that" he said and came over to where I was and also read through the file"Looks like they found out who she was already but how could they have found out so much information s
"Did you say one of you was arrested?" She said again and I was shocked to see her "thought she went to sleep already," I said in my mind because I wasn't planning to tell her anything"No none of us got arrested we were just talking about the movie we saw on her way back" Kira lied"You guys went out to see a movie?" She asked surprised"Yeah Bianca's treat" She lied again"Yup it's my treat" Bianca said shooting daggers through her eyes at Kira"Oh, that's nice. I see you guys are enjoying yourself; just be careful out there," she said. "Yes ma'am" Bianca replied"I thought you already went to bed," I said to her and as well finishing up the dishes"Yeah came out cause I needed water" she said showing me the glass of water she had in her hand and then gulping it down her throat"I was about to drink when I heard something about jail stuff so I was scared," She said"Oh," I said and chuckled"Well I'm done here too," I said signalling to the girls to let go back to my room"Oh good
