Chapter 6

The smell of alcohol filled the room which was dim lighted the only source of light was the lamp on the table while papers littered around.

"You are here" A hoarse deep voice said echoed the room.

There was a total silence which made him frown as he gulped the last content in the glass cup.

"What's it?" He stared at the figure in front of him.

"I thought you said you would fix everything?"

"I did...we killed her, isn't that what you wanted right?"He chuckled with sarcastic tone.

"What if I become a suspect"Fear invading the person's tone.

The man in black didn't respond rather he paced around the room with his hands crossed.

Then suddenly he turned to the person and said with a serious tone.

"They are crossing the line...let another take the blame"He uttered leaving the person confused.

"Who? Him?"

"Not him...watch and see as he all unfolds"He laughed with a evil grin forming in his face.

"Who's next?"

"Camile Locks?"He turned with a smirk lighting up his expression.

Classes had been really stressful and demanding and all Aidan desired was a can of coke and a good book to escape with. Reality had become overbearing and the best way to escape is to dive into the fictional world while seating on one of the seats in the basketball court.

With a sigh, he opened the pages of the novel which he brought.

"Hey, Aidan"he grits his teeth at the familiar voice.

Why was she here of all time?When he wanted a quick relaxing moment on his own.

He does a 180 with his eyes while staring at the smiling and alluring presence in front of him.

"I guessed right... you were here" she sat down beside him while covering her bare laps with the book she came along with.

"Are you sure you are not stalking me Camille?" He said casually now focusing on the novel.

"I don't think so...can I get your help for some minutes?" She said looking at him with a pleading eyes which annoyed him anytime she does that so as to get something from him.

He wanted to pretend he didn't hear her but he had been cursed with the desire to help others in need. No matter how egotistical they may be.

"What is it?" He sighed while closing the novel which he slightly felt bad for  not reading.

"The usuals" she smiled.

"Don't tell me it's maths?"

"Hmm...yeah?" She said while blinking her eyes innocently.

"Oh c'mon"he hissed at the same chuckling at the funny expression on her face.

"You look funny"

"It's only normal I ask our top student of our class if I have any difficulties in any subject"

"Coming from the second best student"

With a roll of eyes, while opening her book she looked at Aidan, her long time crush who always rejected her anytime she made attempt to ask him out. What a straight forward girl!

"Am happy you getting to your normal self lately"she stated with a serious tone.

"Lately?"

"Well...since Jade's death you have been kinda not you lately maybe due to the fact you had a thing for her" she looked at Aidan whose expression changed as he heard 'thing'.

Aidan couldn't deny the fact that he was in total shock when he heard of Jade McNeil death and which made him look like a suspect since they were rumors he slept with her few days before she died at a party which wasn't intentional and unplanned.

"Well... Jade did get massacred at our school, so I understand why you wouldn't be cheerful"

The way she casually spoke about murder was surprising to him. How could she be so nonchalant about something so serious?

"How can you be so calm about that?"he voices out his thoughts ignoring what she said earlier about him having a fling for Jade

"Jade McNeil was a bitch"

"That doesn't mean she deserved to die"

"No it doesn't"she agrees."But that doesn't mean I should sing her praises either"

"She was your best friend"

"Was my best friend" she quoted. "Not anymore even before she died, doesn't mean anything to me." She shrugs.

"I thought you loved her "

"You thought wrong...I will never like worse more love a bitch like her"She replied with disgust and anger filling her expression.

"Have some respect for the dead... Camille" Aidan looked at her wondering what happened to the two friends. They used to be inseparable until one day it all ended.

"You didn't tell me you had feelings for her despite the fact she was in a relationship with Nate"She looked at Aidan accusingly.

"Are you coming at me now?" His expression was swollen with annoyance.

"No...to be honest you went overboard by sleeping with her you know?" She said with a faint smile on her face.

"It's past now"he glared angrily at her.

"I know... but you did hurt my feelings-" She paused as she heard her cell phone ring which made her brow creased.

She looked at the screen of her phone with mixed expression of fear which she tried hard to cover due to Aidan who was staring at his novel.

"Stupid texts" she pretentiously said so as to avoid any questions from Aidan.

"Uhnn?" He said with a furrowed brow.

"Just booty texts and all sorts"she chuckled dryly as her mind raced to what she saw.

"I need to go now...I have history" she stood up as sh swung her backpack.

"Sorry I wasn't able to help"

"No problem handsome"she smiled as she left the basketball court staring at her phone with fear.

          12:30pm.

    Time is ticking...so as your

    secrets... Camille banks.

    Lets meet at the school yard tomorrow night unfailingly. Do not tell anyone if you don't want it leaked out to the world...

                 Unknown sender.

               1:00pm.

        Secrets are our deepest fears. You had a hand in Jade McNeil death? Right?

                  Unknown sender.

Her eyes almost popped out from its sockets as she received the second message almost immediately.

Who is this person? Tomorrow night unfailingly? Even knows my name?

She ran scurrying to her class in total fear and worry.

While a shadow figure who stood behind the corner with a book smiled as Camille received the messages sent.

"Mission 1 complete."
