"Listen. We need to talk." Both Luke and Rayha spoke at the same time.

"You first, Jinx, Jinx again!" Rayha and Luke said.

There was playfulness in the air, until Luke began to speak.

"Why do you hate me?" Luke asks.

"I don't." Rayha states, bluntly.

"Why don't you like me?"

"I never said that," Rayha says. "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you kill her?" Rayha whispers.

"I don't know." Luke replied.

"That's not a good enough answer."

"You didn't give me a good enough question."

"Do you regret it?"

"Everyday. Every second. Of course, I regret it. You wouldn't hate me as much if I didn't kill her."

"I feel like us human beings are all connected in a completely significant way. In a sense that we are all born with a blank future, and for many of us, it is up to us to figure out what goes into that blank. You chose to kill her?" Rayha asked.

"No, no. God no. I didn't even know I killed her. Hell, I don't even remember what happened that day."

"Why didn't you tell the jury that."

"They wouldn't have believed me."

"Couldn't they do some tests?"

"maybe. But it's not like I have a disease, it's like the night I did it I was on some drug, and afterwards I forgot what happened."

"So you killed her, unknowingly?"

"Yeah."

"The whole town has a completely different theory."-

"Like what?" Luke Rose an eyebrow.

"You raped her," Luke gasped.

"I was seven. I didn't even know how to tie by shoe, let alone rape someone."

"Nonetheless, the whole towns scared of you."

"Really?"

"Yeah... And my mom thinks you killed her also.. She doesn't want me around you, and she's been stressed lately, so um goodbye?" Rayha turns on her heel and begins walking away.

"Please don't go," Luke whimpered, even though she couldn't hear.
