Chapter 4

Quote3: You don't get what you wish for.

Rule3: Don't expose your secrets.

"Like I told you in the last class the central nervous system consists of brain and spinal cord...so is the peripheral-" The teacher looked around and noticed that the students weren't listening or rather were dull.

Mr Yande, the biology teacher noticed a student talking.

"Hey boy, what's your name?" He asked with his hands crossed.

The student stood up looking at the teacher confused.

"Um... Marvin?"

"Marvin, what was the last thing I said?"

Marvin looked at him a bit confused. "I...I... skeleton?"

The class bursted into laughter by what he said and he looked embarrassed.

"We treated skeleton last week Marvin and I notice you all are not listening, Why?"

A girl with a blonde hair raised her hands.

"Go on"

"Who would listen in a tense atmosphere, cops are around the school compound and the recent death that happened is one of the reasons"

" This isn't the first nor the second and am not sure it might be the last... last year two deaths happened in this school " A dark haircut boy said with fear engulfing his tone.

  "I think this school is cursed..."

"Yeah... right"

"This school creeps me out already..."

The class became noisy with students whispering and murmuring in a tense way.

"I need your attention everyone" Mr Yande called in a strict mannner making students turn to him.

He was know as a man who don't tolerate any form of nonsense and he was also loved by his students.

"You all should calm down,the police are in the school to find out if any students knows something about her death... don't let this affect your study as you all know your March mock exam is approaching" He sighed.

"Yes sir" They all chorused.

"And one last thing...be mindful of where you go or what you say... Aiden follow me to the staff room" He said leaving the class.

  "What did he mean...?"

  "He made it worse with what he said..."

"Yeah..."

AT THE RESTROOM.

She hastingly washed the dirts off her palms after washing, she looked at the mirror in front of her while adjusting her uniform.

Beep. Beep

She looked at her phone screen and saw that she received a message from an unknown number, with puzzled brow she clicked it.

                       Tuesday. 10:00am

                  I know your darkest secrets.

  Secrets that will keep lurking around you till the end.

                Unknown sender.

Her eyes blinked with surprise and fear as she read the message.

My darkest secrets?

Looking around the restroom to make was around to see her expression, quickly she grabbed her backpack which she dropped beside her leaving in fear.

Principal's Office.

The room was rather tense as they sat down opposite each other sipping their coffee slowly and silently at the same time.

  "So what do you have to tell me?" He broke the silence.

"It's regarding Miss Jade McNeil death" Detective Sean dropped the coffee while looking at the principal.

"McNeil? Have you told her parents what you want to tell me?" Mr Dowell crossed his hands.

"I wanted to tell you first...I think it's best I tell you"

"Okay, Go on"

Detective Sean brought a brown thin file from the bag he was holding which he dropped from the table.

"What's this?"

"You know this is the third death that has occurred in this school..." He slowly started.

"I was able to get her phone in the scene of her death and managed to unlock it through several means...I found a creepy message"

"Message?" Mr Dowell looked at him with a curious brow.

"Yes...those are the printed copy of the messages, for some reason I can't show you the phone" Mr Dowell collected the file immediately, scanning through it with a surprised expression.

  "Secrets?"

" The last message was sent to her on the very day she died...the sender asked they should meet I think"

"Are you saying she was killed on the night they meet? Because of her secrets?"

"Obviously, so I went back to the station and asked that I see the last year death case and I was able to find their case files"

They were also sent messages?" He asked closing the file.

"Yes" Detective Sean collected the file and stood up on his feet.

"Detective what does this mean?" He asked looking at him in a curious tone.

"Principal Dowell, my team and I are still investigating... but I think your students are probably killed because of their secrets,we need to find out who this person is whether he is a student of this school or not" He paused and continued. "Before things get really spooky" With that he left closing the door behind him leaving the Principal in a confused state.

"Lurks around for people secrets or sins? Kills them?" He placed his hand on his chin, thinking deeply about what the detective revealed to him.

"What if this killer is a student of this school?"
