Secrets- Elmax Ghostface AU

Chapter 1

Maturing is realizing not everyone is what they seem.

Someone could be the happiest person on the outside, while on the inside they're debating to end everything.

Or someone could seem completely sane, but on the inside, they're losing it.

Losing it to the point they could kill somebody just to pipe down the constant voices in their head.

That could help explain why I'm outside Troy Bakers' house at 2 in the morning plotting my move for tomorrow.

All it takes is easy info and a plan. My plan? Mess with their head. I'll call Brooklynn Chanson's home phone at about 10:30. As Troy is supposed to be there by 10:45. I act like it's the wrong number, but want to keep talking to her. Get her wrapped around my finger while we wait for Troy to arrive. Once he does I'll act like I have to run a quick errand while I tie Tory up. When I call back I'll change my tone, attitude, and what she knows I know about her. She'll get scared to the point she'll threaten me with her football player of a boyfriend. But as she was distracted with her popcorn I'll have him in her backyard tied up waiting for her to see him. I'll make her play a game for her and his survival. She gets a question wrong. He dies, and she gets another question wrong. I get to have a fun chase that will end with her hanging from a tree for everyone in her neighborhood to see instead of the sunrise. I get my fun, and bullies get their karma.

Revenge is nice.

"Jesus Christ Maxine wake up!"

"Just give me 5 more minutes, Mom"

"You're going to be late for school get up now!" 

"Okay! Okay, sheesh."

"Don't give me that attitude get up and get ready."

I groan, roll out of bed, and head for the bathroom.

Thursdays suck. It's a reminder you're almost to the end of the week but you have to survive today and tomorrow and you're free, free for a couple of days then the same routine you had the week before.

"MAXINE! THE HOPPERS ARE HERE GET YOUR ASS OUT THE DAMN DOOR!"

"OKAY JEEZ!"

"Okay, backpack, shoes, jacket, hair, teeth, phone- Homework shit!"

I shove my homework in my backpack pick up my shoes and exit my room and down the steps. I'll just put my shoes on in the car.

"I'm out! BYE!" I shout as I walk out the door. Not that anyone actually heard me my mom was too busy yelling at Billy and Neil is at work, probably why my awakening was nice this morning.

"Nice of you to show Max, I have a feeling you and Jane will be late today."

Jane gets out of the car so I can get in the backseat.

"Sorry Hop, woke up late."

"Jesus you look like shit."

"Jane! Language!"

"Sorry! But I'm just speaking the truth! How late did you stay up last night my god!" She says turning around to face me.

"Er- I don't know, four or five? Maybe. I spent most of the night listening to music."

"You should really get more sleep Kid, it's horrible for your health."

Yeah, so is voices telling you to do some fucked up shit.

"I can't help it! It's addicting."
