Reactions To Murder

Part 3

"He was so easy to read, maybe I should teach him a decent poker face?" Alina thought as she observed Ivan through the corner of her eye during class. He looked white as a sheet, and was still struggling to pay attention to the board making strange gasping noises from the back of his throat. He really is cute though, she decided and sighed. She was so screwed and she knew it. She was planning on going out on a date with him, but /things/ had come up. And she knew never in her life would she say no to doing such /things/ over anything else. It all really started when she had began this school with her friend. A few months ago she didn't even know who he was and she didn't have to worry about him. And yet, as soon as she had started going here, things had changed. It was just a light teasing at first, calling him "handsome" and occasionally kissing his cheek, but for her it had developed into something more. It was ironic, although everyone at the school was scared of him, he was scared of her. So, she hadn't planned on killing anyone when Ivan was following her, but there was no other way around it, he had to die. Alina smiled softly remembering the red blood dripping down her arm and Ivan's petrified expression when she had seen him standing there in the brush. Alina shook her head, she had to focus on the problem, she wondered if Ivan would turn her in. She hoped to goodness he wouldn't but there was no way to be sure, no way unless... "No," she thought, "I won't kill him." She liked him too much anyway to kill him. If only he hadn't come to her on that day when Ivan was following her, maybe she wouldn't have to deal with this. She knew that wasn't true, if she would be spending so much time with him, he would find out eventually if not even in the same way some time later.
