High School Drama Crime

“How could you!” I screamed, I walked into the gym of my school and found my boyfriend cheating on me. Everyone in the room stared at me with confused eyes. I ran with eyeliner running down my face, I started to run as fast as I could until I finally stopped at a beach. It was very dark and calming, once I calmed down, and I crawled to the shore. Feeling the water on my face was even more calming. I got back to my spot and took a deep breath of the fresh air. I could see the sun rising in the distance ”So beautiful.” I said out loud, not like anyone could hear me. A little while later I could hear someone walking toward me. “Hello, what are you doing here?” I kinda got startled, which made me jump out of my skin. I slowly Turned around And saw a girl but she looked like a guy. 

“Hello, Just sitting here watching the sunrise. Want to join?” I asked. 

“ Sure, What happened? You have eyeliner all over your face.”

“Yea. I was getting ready for a gym class and when I went into the gym, I saw my boyfriend kissing another girl. I ran away and I don’t want to go back anytime soon.”

“ Ow. What’s your name and number? It would be nice to be your friend.” 

“Oh, sure here it is. What about you?” 

“I will call you. My name is Pirstene, But you can call me Pris.” 

“Okay. My name is Alora, but you can call me Lora.”

“Nice, I will call you later.”

“ Bye.” 

She got up and left. My heart started to skip a beat. I think I love this girl, But I only know her for a few minutes. Once she calls I will tell her everything about me. I can’t wait till she calls me the sun is now up and my mother would be at work by now so that's not a problem. I started to walk home which took me a while good thing I had my phone or I would have gotten lost. I walk in and, I was right, mom is at work so that's good. I get ready for bed after eating something. I showered all the makeup off my face. I brushed my teeth and put clothes on for bed. I climbed into bed. I remembered what happened today and started to cry. The tears kept coming and coming. The vision of him kissing her fled my mind and that's all I could think of. I cried and cried, I started to fall out so I cried myself to sleep.  

A few weeks later, mom is making me go to school and it's been weeks so maybe everyone forgot what happened in the gym, right? I walked to school because mom works a lot, so I started to walk and got a call, an unknown number. I answered, “Hello?”

“Hey, what's up! I just wanted to call you so make sure you save this number,” said Pris. 

“Hey, I'm walking to school now so we can talk till I get there.”

“Oh, kay what do you want to talk about?”

I asked her many questions and she answered many of them. She said something about a girl she meets but I just let it slide off my shoulders. I had other things on my mind like how I am going to survive this, and what I am going to do if my Ex sees me. Once I got to school, I told her I was there and we said goodbye. I could see my ex at the gate, smoking a cigarette. He looked up and saw me, a grin showed on his face. Just walk past him and don’t say anything, I thought. I started to speed walk. He moved, I hit his shoulder. “Hey, come here, I want to show you something.” He said.

“No thanks, I need to get to class.” I start to run as soon as I get to school. He runs after me screaming,” HEY, GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BITCH!”.He's gaining on me, I know this school well. I turned a corner and saw the principal's office. I went to the door and knocked. Little did I know he was right behind me. Next thing I know that his hands were on me pushing me down on the ground. The principal opens his door to see me on the floor with a guy on top of me holding my neck, now trying to choke me. The principal goes into his office, comes back out with a taser, and shoots him. He let go of me and passed out. I see the principal calling the cops. He told me something I couldn't hear, I was half awake and passing out fast. I see my mom for a second and then everything goes black.I wake up in my bed, with my head pounding. Cops were in my room i think waiting for me te wake up. I sit up in my bed and the cops start walking towards me. They started to ask me what happened and why he did the things he did. I told them everything, about him cheating on me, about why i was running, and why i was on the floor. Once i finished i was crying my eyes out. My mom was home and heard me crying. She came iron my room and asked to cops to give me some space. My head hurt more than ever, I layed down and fell asleep. Little while later, A phone call, it’s Pris! “ Hey, why you calling.”

“ I wanted to see if you are free, Because i want you to meet someone that i kinda like and you could be my wing woman.” She said exicided 

“ Oh, yea im free. What day, time and, place?”

“ How about the place we met and at noon. On friday.”

“ K sounds good.” 

“ Wait i would lik-.”

I hung up, i was so mad  How could she do this to me.My mind was racing, why did she meet someone when she has me. Who is this person and what is they planning. Who is she going to bring. What is Pris’s plan. And many other things. I try to get some sleep because i cant get any sleep at night. I tried to sleep but i can’t so much is going on my mom always leaving, my ex, and now her. I am so angry. I don’t know what to do so i get up and establish myself trying to breath. I finally fall asleep.Friday comes around and i am ready to go out the door. At 11:30 i go out the door walking to the place we met. I want some time there to look at the water and see who else is coming. Around 11:45 i make it and sit down where i need to. I watch the water while the time goes and next thing i know i see Pris and a girl. I dont want to know her name but i need to for Pris. “ Hello whats up Pris, and…” i put my hand out to shake her hand.

“ Cassidy.” 

“ Alora.” She puts her hand on mine and do the hand shake. I dont like this i want to leave iv met her now lets go. But no, now she wants use to all to sit down and talk. I am scaning my mind, trying to find an excuse.  After they finished talking i looked at my phone and Said “ I got to go my mom needs me to help her with dinner. She’s finally home.” 

“ Oh okay, it’s was nice meeting you.” 

“Yea you too.” i said with clenched teeth.

I start running and run home as fast as i can. Some strange voice in my head says Kill her. The hell what is this. I kinda like it though. I run to the bushes to watch them. Few hours later, Pris leaves and leaves Cassidy all alone. I run to the store close by and grabe a mask. Run back with the mask and go to Cassidy. “ Hey girl can you help me please!?”

“ Oh what do you need help with?” 

“ I need you to follow me.” 

“ okay where.“

I start running with her behind me. She keeps asking questions but i dont answer. We stop at a bridge. I turn around to see if she is still there. She is, I point down over the rail. She looks over and look at me questionly. She looks down again. I squat down and grab her ankles. I flip her of the rail and took her shoes and put them by the rail to look like suiside. I run away, dont need anyone seeing me. I stop running look at the shoes and think Have fun in heaven, you bitch!

I go back home to eat something and get ready for bed. I had an exciding day. I couldn’t stop giggling and squirming in my bed. I was so happy. Now she is finally mine. I can go to sleep happy tonight and tomorrow people will find the body and i can have Pris crying on me and all to myself. 

They found the body and Pris calls me and cries her eyes out and i asked if she wanted to come over. A few minutes later she comes over and i try to get her to stop crying. She finally calms down and she wants to spend the night i say yes and we have the best time ever. We wresseled, played sports and many other things. Once she fell asleep, i watched her sleep till i was tired. I fell asleep watching her and when i woke up i was on the floor. She woke up and made eggs. It was so good i could eat all of them. We talk some more and she said that she is okay. I ask her to meet me at the nearest lake so that we could talk. She said that it was fine and she will be there at 4, today . Okay sounds good. I wait till 3 and then i get all dressed up and start walkin to the lake in my heals. I see the lake and i see Pris. She looks at me, questionly. I look at her. “ there is something i want to tell you.” 

“Yes, what do you need to tell me.”  

“I want to tell you that i like you and want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“ uhh… I dont know how to tell you this but i dont feel the same.”

My face went from happy to depressed. I can’t belive that you would do this to me. I am even more anrgy than i was when i met Cassidy. I pushed her down into the sand. She tries to push me off but i wont let her. I grab the rock by my feet and, Smash her head in. i am so pissed that this made me happy to kill her. She stopped moving and i stopped smashing.  I rolled off her and saw the moon reflecting off the lake. So beautiful. I look at the body right next to me, hold her hand and say “Have fun in heaven, beautiful bitch.” I look behind me and i see cop lights i don’t even try to run i know what i did and i wont denine it. I sit on the sand holding Pris’s hand and wait for the cops to take me away.
