Murder mystery (reader as protag)

2. "Best Friend" My Ass

I decided to Follow Zack and Carly.

They stayed mostly quiet while exploring around, and we eventually did find more people in what seemed to be a kitchen.

Zack stopped Carly from throwing water at everyone to wake up.

We decided waking everyone up one by one by shaking them slightly.

The first one was a fair skinned man with black hair with a green stripe across it. His name was apparently "Dash".

Next to him laid another guy named Liam. He had dark skin and wore a white tank top.

Finally, there was a pink haired girl with a rose on her head.

"The name is Tess."

She smiles, stretching out her hand.

I shake it, smiling back.

"So, Uh- should we go back to the main room or check for more people?"

Carly sighs. "Let's go to the main roooom I'm so tireddddd"

Zack looks at Carly, then at me. "Maybe we should look for more people. What if something happens?"

Carly seems frustrated.

"Nobody cares, Zack. We don't know them. We don't care about them."

Liam speaks up. "That is very rude."

Carly raises an eyebrow. "Ok. And? Do you want me to just be like 'oh golly gee!! We must be heroes and save the other people like the good guys we are!!'?!!"

"No. I just want you to act like a decent person."

Carly gives the middle finger, sticking out her tongue.

"If you want to go back to the main room, leave. We're not going with you."

"Zack is, right Zack?"

Zack seems uncomfortable, but nods.

I frown.

This guy does not want to go with her, does he?

"Actually. Zack is coming with us. You can go back on your own, right?"

Carly stares daggers at me.

"Fine."

She walks back.

The other four and I keep exploring, eventually finding more people.

A pale skinned girl with blonde hair, a white haired person with a purple stripe going through it, and finally, a brown haired girl who wore her hair in a long ponytail.

Dash seemed to know some of the people.

"Lacy?" asks Dash, looking at the brown haired girl.

"Dash?" She responds.

"Jean?" Asks Liam to the white haired person.

They just nod.

"Do you guys...know each other?"

Jean nods.

"We go to the same college."

Lacy hugs Dash with one arm.

"Anddd!! He's my best friend!!"

Liam looks at Dash. "I thought I was your best friend?"

Dash looks back. "Male best friend, yeah!!"

Liam seems relieved.

Tess is just standing there until she finally decides to speak up.

"Um, isn't anyone wondering why the FUCK we're in a random mansion?"
