journal entry
7:45 pm, friday, april 2, 2022
i actually never thought id write in this, but just a minute ago the lights at dominique's house went out and we all heard andre suddenly scream. as soon as the lights turn back on, we cant find him. aidyen has to use the bathroom, so he goes and thats where we find andre. his head is in the sink, blood all over the counter, and the rest of him is in the shower. ive never seen ali cry, but just then he did. i dont blame him. that was his best friend, even though he acted like a bitch. amari is comforting ali and dominique keeps staring at the wall. she hasnt said anything ever since we found him. one of us is the murderer, i packed my gun for a reason, but i didn't know the reason until now. i've been studying them all night. i can tell one of them's evil.
at least one of these people are evil:
amari
dominique
ali
imani closes her journal.
"well." dominique finally says. "i didnt kill anybody."
"nobody ever said you did." aidyen countered.
"dominique, could you try to say something a little more sensitive?? i mean, come on. ali just lost his best friend." amari said coldly.
"jeez, sorry, i was trying to lighten the mood." dominique replied.
"this isnt the time for 'lightening the mood' dominique. his best friend is dead." amari said.
"it was just a joke??"
"a joke about someone's dead best friend?? i dont fucking think so."
"he was a bitch anyways.."
"dominique if you say one more thing i will slap you in your fucking mouth." imani shot back.
dominique rolls her eyes. "youre supposed to be on my side imani, he was a bitch."
"bitch or not, that was ali's fucking best friend. youre being the fucking bitch." amari added.
ali sniffled. "its fine amari, really."
"no its not ali. whether you think it is or not, its not okay." amari responded.
"guys, that's enough. we should probably just figure out what happened to andre." aidyen said.
"i think it was pretty obvious he was murdered, aidyen." amari deadpans.
"yeah, no shit amari. i'm talking about who murdered him. it's clearly one of us." aidyen shot back.
"aidyen's right, its gotta be one of us." imani said.
"poor andre." dominique whispered.
"weren't you the one making jokes about his death??" amari said.
"guys, i said thats enough. jesus christ, i wont say it again." aidyen yelled.
"i've been studying your moves all night, i can almost tell whos evil." imani said.
dominique froze up.
"who?" aidyen asked
"its either dominique, sorry domi, amari, im sorry, or ali." imani replied.
"why would i kill my best friend?" ali countered.
"i dont know, but you three are my prime suspects."
"alright, but how can we be sure if YOU'RE not the killer?"
dominique shot ali a look.
"what's that supposed to mean, ali?" imani asked.
"you're pinning this all on us, but we're not even sure its you. aren't you the one always carrying that damn gun around?" ali shot through his teeth.
"i carry that damn gun for self defense." imani corrected him.
"still! you could use that to fucking kill us all!!" ali yelled.
"ali its a gun." amari said.
"so??" ali responded
"if it was imani, we would hear a fucking gun cock."
"guys if i have to tell you thats enough one more fucking time i will actually get whoever killed andre to kill you all." aidyen shot.
"fine, fine." ali said, still staring daggers at imani.
imani stared back at him.
"imani quit it." aidyen snapped.
"he started it!!" imani yelled.
"i dont care who started it, shut the hell up! jesus christ, i'm talking to fucking kindergartners!" aidyen yelled.
the lights go out again.
