BILL’S WEIRD BEHAVIOR
“That’s what I wanted to hear. Now we can go to school,” Jason wrapped his arms around her shoulder, hugging. They both made their way back to school. Charlotte seemed so happy to see Jason today.
While at the school, Caroline walked into the kitchen crossing all the students and people who were already eating their breakfast in Roshord cafe. Today there’s more crowd in the cafe. Even detectives, reporters are eating here. Suddenly, Caroline spotted Becca’s mother angrily pointing hands at someone and acting harshly just like her daughter. Care took her wandering eyes and walked straight.
“Hey Care, baby,” Care heard some familiar voice while bumping into someone. But who will call her like that? She’s never been called that. She took some steps back to notice the person.
“Bill.”
“Yep. It’s me.” He looked brighter than the last time. Last time she lied to him about being involved in a car accident after having a fight with him. Actually, Bill felt worried about her, thinking he’s the reason for her accident. He doesn’t know she was shot by Becca.
“Okay. Can you move aside? I think Iam already late.” She casually spoke, but he’s watching her every move without a reply.
“Why are you acting weird?” Care raised her eyebrows. The way he acts makes her uncomfortable. She can’t face him after rejecting his proposal.
“Nothing. I don’t need to hide anything or act the way which Iam not. You know, I already told you how I felt. Now Iam going to wait for your reply no matter how many years you take.” Bill confidently spoke like Care will accept him one day or another.
“I already told, you are my best friend, Bill. I really don’t want to hurt you...” he wrapped his hands on her mouth, literally stopping her from continuing.
“I know. I said Iam going to wait for you. I know you feel something for me. I can’t let Daniel steal you from me.” Bill said, moving her towards the wall at the entrance of the kitchen. While everyone is working, these two are having a conversation like lovers, which is not true. The owner is not here right now to scold them. No one seems to notice them.
“What? Daniel did nothing. Why are taking this thing seriously? You know I adored him since my childhood.” Care told something which makes Bill angry. Bill makes a fist, thinking about Daniel, and calmed down in a second.
“I know that. You don’t need to tell it twice. But if you really don’t feel anything for me, then why did you kiss me back when I make the first move in kissing you in the cafe.” He smirked and pinned her to the wall. Care stammered at the right words. ‘I really don’t know what that kiss meant,’ she thought to herself. All she can think right now is she can’t believe she’s been loved by her best friend.
“Tell me. You are taking so much time.” Bill lifted her chin up, making her see him. His action still stuns care. He never acted like this. He never ever had many friends and was totally not interested in girls. He’s only been close to Care. Now she knows what he feels about her. If Bill laid his eyes on any girls, whoever will surely love him back. But he’s spending time on Care.
“I...I... was” Care stuttered, trying to say something while she’s nervous by his touch.
“Hey, what the hell is going on? We all are working with many orders while you are having a romantic moment.” Clary came outside and shouted.
“We are not,” Care yelled back while her face turned red from embarrassment. Care got away from Bill right at the moment.
“You can tell the truth to me than hiding it,” Clary shouted under work pressure.
“Now you saw it by yourself. So, what’s the matter?” Bill spoke like Care already belongs to her.
“Please. I will explain it, Clary.” Care grabbed her hand and walked inside.
....
“Chloe, are you sleeping? The painting class is almost over.” Sara shouted over Chloe’s ears, who woke up from Sara’s voice.
“Oh sorry.” She rubbed her eyes and saw the whole class has already dispersed.
“Where is everyone?”
“It’s time for investigation. Now it’s your turn.” Sookie said, standing behind Sara.
“Oh, my god! Do I need to go right now?” Chloe stood up, almost knocked on the Brushes and paint.
“No. According to the alphabet, you will be first. Right now, the 12th grade is going to finish.” Sara explained. Chloe left the room without a reply or taking any of her belongings with her. When she’s out of the class, she spotted Ian outside coming out of the room where the investigation was going on. After homecoming, no one mentioned how Becca locked her in the locker.
Ian and Taylor can’t think about getting revenge on Becca for what she did to Chloe. Because she’s already been murdered. Now if they asked homecoming, what can she answer? What if Taylor or Ian already talked about Becca locking her in the locker? Everyone’s attention will be on Chloe. She can’t able to bear it while she buried Becca in the school backyard. 'Iam so stupid, I forgot about this incident. I should have prepared for it earlier.' Chloe muttered to herself.
“Chloe,” Ian called her when she spotted her.
“Hey. Iam so afraid.” Chloe told pathetically.
“Should I need to tell them about how I got caught in the locker? Iam afraid, Ian. I can’t do that. Did you tell me about that?” She blurted.
“Whoa, whoa, slow down. Taylor and I didn’t mention it to anyone. You don’t need to tell me that. We already thought about that. It’s not safe to tell this thing right now.” Ian consulted her.
“Oh, that sounds good.” Chloe let out a deep breath and got hit by another question.
“Why do we need to hide it?” she asked. Her sisters and brother are the only ones who know the truth so they are going to tell a lie. But Ian knows nothing about that.
“Becca’s mom is here. Becca’s mother will be just like her. I heard she will be sitting next to the investigator. No one likes to be watched, but she compelled everyone to take a seat when the investigation is going on. It’s not safe for you to accuse her daughter. Then we don’t know what she will do after that.”
“I never saw that coming,”
“Yes. Don’t look at her. She’s looking at everyone like the whole school has murdered her daughter. It’s not fair to judge everyone without knowing.” Ian told with irritation. It seems like Becca’s mom will be a problem than an investigation. Chloe nodded her hand and headed towards the room.
She’s slowly opened the knob of the door and peeked inside to ask for permission.
“Come inside,”
IT’S NOT A MATCH A formal woman dressed in a coat suit motioned Chloe to step inside. She wearing specs and looked like not slept for many days. She’s with a notebook and pen. Chloe worried more about seeing Becca’s mother, who is watching her like she’s some kind of serial killer. There’s another man standing holding an object that looks like an iPad. But it’s quite different from it. Its length is enormous and a wide-breadth. “Keep your hands on it.” the woman ordered. Chloe slowly kept her hoping nothing bad happens even though she’s not the one who killed Becca. “Now take a seat.” Chloe felt more uncomfortable near Becca’s mother. Her look is so fierce. There are more wrinkles on her face and looked sleepless, just like the investigated woman. Chloe felt guilty about seeing her. But Becca’s mother won’t even know Chloe. Maybe she’s just looking furiously at everyone. “So, where have you been from seven to nine on homecoming day, Chloe?” t
WILL THEY ESCAPE? “Take a seat and explain it clearly. Did they get your fingerprint?” Caleb asked her while she took and folded her apron. “They already took my handprint. It’s not a match, but they asked too many questions and she is so rude.” Care slammed her hand on the table. “Where did they investigate?” “On the first floor. They are going to check on teachers. It’s getting worse.” “Oh, my gosh. Charlotte will be in trouble. How did you manage to tell?” Chloe panicked. “They asked me to tell me every incident, so I told the truth.” Care casually replied after taking a deep breath. “You told the truth? Are you insane?” Caleb silently yelled at her, trying not to grab any other attentions. “You want to know the truth. The truth is, Bill proposed to me.” “What am I asking you and what you are telling? Wait, a second. Bill did what?” Caleb got perplexed by her sister weird reply. “I got no tim
WHO KILLED HER? Charlotte stood up, almost knocking off the chair she was sitting on. Both of them in the room stared at her like dealing with some devil. She frightened both of them just with her fierce look. All these situations wake her to another tough face inside her. “I think you could sit down. I won’t be telling your personal issues to anyone. It’s none of my business.” The lady clearly told, looking a little frightened. “Iam not going to sit down. Thanks for understanding” Charlotte folded her hands across her chest. She’s ready to escape the room once the fingerprints got matched. “Um... the fingerprints are...” the man trailed off, looking at the computer. Charlotte holds her breath, waiting for him to finish. “It's not a match. You can go. Sorry for troubling you,” he finished, giving Charlotte shock and confusion. She doesn’t know whether to feel glad or further overthink about this. She simply nodded her head and walked
JEALOUS GIRL Finally, Caroline reached the shooting spot in Daniel’s Ferrari. She stepped outside and the Guards were standing beside her. She can’t spot Daniel anywhere. The place has a beach set up with all the technicians, cameras, etc... At the time, it looks like the shooting is over. Everyone is leaving. Care even expected to see any other favourite actress. Cause there are many known celebrities who are engaged in some conversation. The shooting is done outside the building. She really wants to explore the shooting area and the building. Care hopes one day Daniel will take her inside to show how the movie’s being taken. “Where is Daniel?” Care asked the guard. “He will come.” He replied with a stern look. Care waited for over fifteen minutes, not seeing Daniel. Finally, she saw him coming out of the building. She thought of waving at him, but she noticed he’s talking with some other woman. It’s not just a woman, she’s a popular actress w
I LOVE YOU Care blinked her eyes for a few minutes. She can’t believe she wrongly entered his bedroom. She was supposed to go to his office room. Now she can’t turn her feet away from this room. There’s a luxury black bed, some photos of Daniel hanging on the wall. She approached his childhood photo. ‘Daniel is so adorable,’ Care muttered seeing it. Daniel has a six-year-old kid standing on the Playground giving poses to the photo. That’s the only childhood pic. Another portrait caught her eyes. It’s his drawing at his current age. It’s so perfectly painted. Seeing paintings gives her a reminder of Chloe. She is talented too. Other than photos, there’s a laptop and some documents neatly arranged on his desk in a corner. If he already has an office, why keep it in this room. The room is painted in White and every object looked like it’s worth a million dollars. “What are you doing here, Caroline?” Daniel’s voice alerted Care. She turned towards the do
GAME ON Care shrieked, seeing Michael interrupted him. His entry embarrassed Michael. “Iam so…sorry... sir.” he stammered with the coffee cup is still in his hands. “Michael, get out now. I don’t need coffee.” Daniel shouted and Michael ran after closing the door. “Who wants coffee when I can have you.” Daniel touched Care’s cheek. He started kissing again and his hands travelled inside her top. She stopped kissing and looked at him. “Let’s take it slow.” “No offence. I can wait for you. Iam so happy right now. You accepted my proposal. Iam happy to have you as my girlfriend.” he lay next to her by facing each other closely. “Daniel Evans is my boyfriend. You don’t know how happy Iam.” she smiled at him, placing her hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. “But I have one condition.” “What’s that? Everything is going well.” he got panicked by her condition. “Nothing serious. I
Becca’s body or saves Jason ‘What can I do right now? I need to decide quickly. I can stay in prison for years, but I can’t lose Jason forever. Iam thinks Iam in love with him within this short period of time’ Charlotte thought to herself and called 911. Soon she reached the destination, and the ambulance arrived before she did. She ran and came all by herself to see Jason’s car on the edge of a bridge. It’s in a state of falling from the long heights. If it moved one inch, Jason’s life is over. “Jason” Charlotte screamed from the top of her lungs, running towards the car while some men stopped her. “Don’t go there. It’s not safe. The rescue team has already arrived.” That stranger consulted her while Charlotte was sobbing continuously. She never cried like this in her life. Not even for their parents dead, or for murdering Becca. The moon started to show up in the sky. The car is so invisible to other eyes to notice. I
Someone involved in this murder case “Thank you, Doctor.” Charlotte rushed inside while Care waited outside, giving her some time alone with him. “Hey, how are you feeling?” she asked, holding his hands lightly. There’s a bandage on his right hand and his head. She’s at least happy that the threatener didn’t kill him. “Iam good now. “He smiled weakly. He’s too weak to speak, but he’s hesitating to tell something. Charlotte looked at him, still with tears on her face. “Did you cry, char?” he asked slowly, trying to sit. “Maybe I did.” she lied, trying not to show it. She never cried like this before. It’s even unbelievable to her. “You don’t need to lie, Charlotte. Please don’t cry. Iam perfectly alright.” he assured her even in that difficult situation. “I know. I know but you are not perfectly alright,” she said, wiping her tears. “Then I will be perfectly alright soon and I heard what y
