It has been a week since I killed a human. I still feel upset about it as I basically committed a crime. I was worried that I may be send to a mental hospital or a mental asylum due to me eating someone. As of right now, I'm worried that the school will hear about me and that I get beaten pretty bad by everyone due to me being seen as a murderer. I don't know what else to do at that rate. As thoughts was running through my head, I heard a knock on my door asking if they want to come in. I let them in and it was Tony who was worried about me. I didn't have my mask on and before I sit down on my bed, I have already brushed my teeth and put my hair back up. Just seeing my teeth bloody enough goes to show that I felt guilty. He sat down on my bed and had his arm wrapped around my shoulder.

I can tell from looking at him that he is really worried about me. The fact I killed someone for my own personal gain is sick and twisted. He finally spoke to me after moments of silence that have been in the room for days on end.

"It's not your fault that you have did this. You didn't know what to do at the time." -Tony finally said.

I don't know if I should head back to school. What will people think of me now if they found out? -I asked.

"They most likely will, but you do have to go to school at some point okay Jayla? We're worried about you since you haven't left your room in a week." -Tony said

Yeah...I know. I'm just....scared...that people are not gonna see me the same again. Even though I never made any friends, that doesn't stop me from getting bullies even more than I should have. -I said

"Well....they may be people who don't care about what do you think, but you still have to go to school okay?" -Tony said.

I knew I had to go to school but I don't have a choice either way. The next day I finally went to the front of the school and took a deep breath. Instead of me wearing my green bandanna, I was wearing the red variant of it. It looks nice and before I left, I checked my eyes and I am good to go. After a few moments, I finally walk inside the school.
