I got straight up from my bed and walked around panicking.
"Wait, he's walking over here!" Aria said as I could hear her hurriedly running through the phone.
I quickly put the phone to my ear and called out her name, but she didn't respond for a while which made me panic even more.
"I'm still here, behind a bush," she giggled.
"It's not funny, are you sure it's him?" I asked impatiently, waiting for her to answer but suddenly her phone cut off. That's it. I grabbed my hoody and go into my car and drove to our school. I started to slow down, trying to look for Aria when I finally saw her behind a bush curled up into a ball looking down tapping at her dead phone. I got out the car not realizing that I was just wearing shorts and a hoody in the pouring rain. I ran over slowly to the bush while whispering her name, but she didn't hear me.
"Aria!" I shouted when suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Jaya?" I turned around and screamed to see Jay startled at my sudden response, but I was more shocked to see him... holding a gun and his shirt covered in blood.
I stepped back putting my hands at my mouth shocked, his shirt was covered in blood, his hair was messy, holding a gun in his right hand, bruises on his face. Suddenly, Aria came out of her hiding spot to gasp at the sire of Jay just standing there like everything was normal.
"Why you gasping Aria," he said pointing to the dead body lying on the school floor," he said looking back at us and smirking.
"Oh, who am I kidding" Aria sighed looking at me, who was just furious at his stupid arrogant attitude.
"What is this, Jay?" I asked trying to be as calm as possible.
"Urgh now you know too, that's annoying now isn't it," he said looking at me then rolling his eyes and chuckling.
I stared at him, he stared back, I hated everything about him right now. His face, his smirk, his eyes, his everything. I sighed letting out a chuckle because I realized that this was reality, and I was blind this whole time. I walked away and stood at my car door waiting for Aria to get him, I looked at him one last time just to see him looking at his gun. I got in my car and drove off, fast.
"Jaya, slow down," Aria said holding on to the seat, looking at me.
"SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP!" I screamed starting to cry.
"Jaya please, stop!" Aria screamed making me pull the break right in front of my house.
"Damn Jaya, you need coffee," Aria said getting out of the car and walking to my house door. I opened the door to my house and went upstairs soaked in rain. Aria followed behind me and we both went into my room and sat in silence for the first half an hour.
"So, you knew this whole time?" I said quietly.
"Mhm," she said hugging my pillow and looking down at the floor.
"And you didn't tell?" I said looking at her, furious.
"He told me not to tell you," she whined looking at me.
"So, you wanna casually pretend that you didn't know," I shouted getting up of my bed. I walked around with my hands on my head picturing back to Jay in a blood-stained shirt and a gun.
"What is he exactly?" I asked looking out my window.
"What do you mean?" Aria said reaching to get another cookie from my desk.
"You know, a murderer, a psycho, I don't know," I said turning around.
"He's a mafia, the leader's son, his dad...yeah I said that right," she said gesturing with her hands.
"Omg," I whispered realizing why his dad was so strange and scary.
"Yeah, I know, his dad is crazy and strange," she said making me turn around and sigh.
"Just don't say anything stupid," Aria said stuffing the cookie in her mouth.
"Why, why didn't he just tell me?" I asked while she just sat there and looked at me with her cookie-stuffed face.
"He said..." she paused to swallow her cookie, "he said he wanted to protect you and not get you involved in this type of stuff."
"But I won't," I whined.
"Just let him be, I mean, there's nothing you can do," she said making me realize that my preplanned speech won't work on him.
"You staying here or going home?" I sighed while getting into my bed beside her.
"Well, are you gonna take me home," she asked turning her body around.
"Nope," I said closing my eyes.
"Well guess I'm staying here then," she said lying down next to me.
We both woke up to sunny morning but then realized we had school so both left with an empty stomach as we were already late. Yesterday's event still hasn't left my mind and was triggering me throughout the whole walk. We finally arrived and went to our separate classes, I walked in seeing students were already inside along with Jay who straightened up as soon as he saw me, he got up to come to me but before he could the teacher had already slammed his books on his desk.
"So, I have some news for you guys first," he said sitting down on his chair which he never does.
"This morning, Jake Clinton was found dead in the school premises."
The class suddenly shot up and there were whispers left and right. I looked back at Jay who was already looking at me.
"Now I know it's shocking but please don't make our jobs harder than it is and stay out of it, alright?" he said getting up from his seat.
Finally, class ended making me feel relieved cause the whole lesson all I could feel was Jay's eyes on my back. I got up and decided to leave before he came to me, but I was too late and was already dragged out by him to the back of the school.
"What the hell Jay!" I shouted yanking my hand out of his grip.
"You okay?" he asked actually looking concerned which made me fume up even more.
"Okay? I just saw my best friend shoot someone and then get mad at me because I saw not only that my other best friend knew the whole time and didn't even tell me because you told her not to!" I shouted making him go all quiet.
"I don't want to see you hurt because your involved in this crap, cause guess whose fault it'll be then, mine," he gritted through his teeth trying not to shout.
"How am I going to get involved!?" I shouted.
"You will, trust me, you will," he said quietly.
"Trust you?! You just shot someone!" I screamed making him anxious.
"So what now huh? You wanna see more, you want me to tell you everything cause we're best friends," he shouted back.
"No I just-"
"Just what Jaya, cause, in the end, you're just going to get hurt and I'll die of guilt so if your gonna carry on with this crap let's not be friends," he said before walking away making me speechless, I couldn't even call out his name or even say something back. That's it, that was the end.
