*A murder mystery*
The story is about Rose , a girl who transfers to a new school due to some reasons.
She finds herself making new friends who seem to be like the best people she had ever met. She gets attached to them so quickly unlike her past ex...
After reaching home my Mom treated us all with proper lunch.
I strolled around in my garden while giving a thought to the current situation.
The way everybody behaved made me feel I was not a part of their group or whatever it was. They were my friends but they were not truthful to anyone.
I was so happy some months ago for getting such cool and nice friends but the way the circumstances had turned, I felt out of the place.
Even after being brutally honest, I felt like I was being cheated.
The most cheated I felt was by Stella. If she was having a problem with something she could've shared it with me.
Even after so many ifs and whats, I was not able to deny the fact that an outsider couldn't come inside and do this crime.
Also choosing the particular ones to kill.
But now one thing was clear, there was something in common with Aspen and Katherine which cost them their lives. Almost for Aspen.
"Rose?" Came Brady in view.
I looked up.
"We have discussed some things, and we have decided to go for the search of evidence," he said.
"Are you serious? There's a murderer in our group and you people without having any sense are discussing things with that person." I said being irritated by the nonsense search mission Brady was on.
"I don't understand what you are trying to say." Said Brady with scrunched eyebrows in confusion. I rolled my eyes knowing that Brady understood me well enough.
Then suddenly Zayn came running outside.
"Hey!" He said.
"What?" I said with clear frustration.
"I just wanted to share something with you Rose." He said missing Brady's glance.
"Speak up then." Said Brady.
"I need some privacy." Said Zayn in a funny tone.
"Speak in front of me or I'll choke you," said Brady with clear rage on his face. I was surprised by his tendency to get angry.
I was also confused by his behaviour. Who is he to boss around?
Ignoring Brady, I took Zayn to my bedroom and closed the door behind us.
It was no less than a minute when someone started banging on the door.
"Open the damn door, I want to know what it is." Shouted Brady.
"We are just talking. If you keep shouting like this, then it's gonna take us more time." I said and that was enough for him to shut up.
"Okay Rose, I trust you because you don't seem a solid suspect to me, and sharing my opinions in that group in which no one is purely innocent seems right to me." He said sitting on the corner of my bed.
"Finally someone sensible! Anyways, what is it you want to tell me?" I asked curiously.
"We know that Mia has attacked Katherine, so for now we know Katherine's killer. But Giselle. We need everybody's truth to know who else was in the kitchen before she entered and took that drink." He said as a matter of fact.
Zayn was fairly someone to trust, though I'd met him at the party itself, his statements and possibilities didn't indicate that he was present at the time of attack anywhere.
Even if Ashton was innocent, he would never suspect his sister. So it's a bad idea to discuss our plans with him.
"Stella was present before, Nathan came afterwards and then you," I said stating the things.
"Yeah, but the glass was already near Giselle and if I did something then anyone could've spotted it. So it's not me." He said convincingly that he was safe.
"We need to know what Stella and Nathan did or who was in the kitchen before them."
"Yeah, but what are the chances they are going to say the truth? Also, I am quite confused with Brady's behaviour. He is always so well mannered but currently, he is like a completely different person. I just hope he is not involved." Said Zayn and spread his hands and legs all over my bed as he lay down.
"Get up now. We need to get outside, we have to see what they are discussing." I sad batting a hand across his arm.
"Gosh! You sound like we are in one team and they are in other. And we are going to spy on them." He said with a chuckle.
This guy may not be a killer but he was very much irritating and cocky.
I opened the door and saw Brady, Stella, Nathan sitting around the dining table.
They looked up. Nathan motioned Brady to speak up.
"Are your private talks over?"He asked rudely.
"Brady?" Said Stella keeping a hand on his.
"Whatever, We all know one thing or the other, but we are still not able to get how Aspen was found from the house. He was supposed to get icecreams for us and we have absolutely no idea when he came back and ended up like this." Said Brady explaining what he was thinking about.
I agreed to whatever he had said.
"And your point is?" I asked.
"We need to know about the time he left the ice cream parlour. So we are gonna go and check the cameras there." He said grabbing his jacket from the chair.
"You'll accompany him." Said Stella nudging me.
I looked at Zayn for help.
He knew I was not trusting anybody present here other than him cuz they hadn't given truthful and honest answers to the detective.
"I'll join too. It would take too much for me to wait for the discovery you two would make. Better is me being with you." said Zayn and rushed outside.
Brady watched Zayn but didn't protest his presence.
We drove to the ice cream parlour silently.
