It was the year that it finally happened I decided to go away from home and never look back as I was packing it hit me that I have to live in a place where I know no one and it's going To be exciting as people will not know my past where no one would judge me for who I was and keep me down by mocking me, I am finally getting the ticket out of the hell that is my life .Even though college life will be hard it would be a place for me to learn new things .
I at last reached my dream college the university of swift. On my first day I was late since I didn't know the way to class. I asked around and finally got to class and to my luck the teacher sent me out for being late to class on the very first day this is where I met her ,we were strangers but it was like fate that we were there at the same time she was an optimist she thought that she was destined to meet me since she was not meant to be there but she got called to the counselor. She introduced herself as Donna as I was about to give my name. She was crowded with her friends who decided to come to drop her on her first day of college.
I left and went to my dorm where my roommate was waiting for me, she was sad since her parents left that instant so they wouldn't cry. So, I consoled her, and she got angry and told me to give her space. I went out to check if the canteen was open since it was getting dark and there she was again this time she was laughing and stopped to speak to me saying that she wanted to give me a tour of the college I accepted as soon as she stopped talking .
The next day I put on the best outfit I had and went looking for her ,she was near the library she said that it was the entrance of the educational and historical tour of the college all I could think about was how she was kind enough to talk to me and help me when I need it the most as we walked around campus it was the best architectural place I have ever seen ,the student were amazing and kind as it seemed to me .Me and donna would talk every day and have lunch together it was like we had everything in common our love for movies.She was like a sister I never had; it was like she was the other part of my life. I was so happy to have her in my life.
One day when I thought life couldn't be more perfect tragedy struck and everything was hell again where ever I go I see her face she was murdered cause she was to kind she always saw the good in people she never saw it coming she was stabbed 10 times all over the body .I dream about her every day when I slept ,when I'm awake it is unbearable for me knowing that her killer is out there without the punishment they deserve.
I was furious with the system for not catching her killer and just plainly hurting someone else. I decided to take things in my own hand and investigate her murder. The first thing I did was get my facts right so, I went to her parents and asked them who killed her according to her perspectives they answered by shutting the door because they couldn't look at me as I never showed up to her funeral since it was too painful for me.I went back to college I was tired from the drive, so I took a nap and when I woke up it had been a whole day, I asked my roommate that why she didn't wake me she said that I was asleep for a few moments I thought that was impossible, but I ignored it was went to my lectures where they held a memorial for donna everyone was sobbing as they knew her well, all of the people behaved like they knew her but I know the truth that they used to talk shit about her behind her back.
As I was leaving the memorial, a girl came up to me and said she was sorry for my loss. I told her to get lost. She said I knew what happened that day, I told her to tell me what had happened, and I tried to grab her hand but she left before I tried to reach and ask her to answer me. So I asked around to my classmates who she was and they told me that she was the daughter of the Dean and to stay away from her .But do you think I would have listened nope I went to search for her .
I stole her files and donnas from the Dean's office and luckily there was no security at night so as I was reading deans daughters file it was clean like there was no bad thing about her so I went on a deep search of her past and I found something really sketchy she was found in a crime scene in her high school with a couple of her friends and guess what donna went to the same high school.
But Donna had never told me that one of her classmates was killed so I decided to read Donna’s file as she had kept this secret what else don't I know about her so the file had the information that the girl killed was donnas best friend so I know that's why she didn't tell me as I heard footsteps towards me I hid behind the desk and I found a secret box of dean's list which included donnas name and the it was labeled as look out.
I sneaked back to my dorm and went through donnas past and other then her friend being killed she was a normal sweet girl who I got to know. I blacked out again and this time I got worried and tried to find out what was happening, so I asked my roommate what had happened the day before and she said I was behaving strangely and screaming at a person I was talking to on the phone.
So, I went through my call log, and I was shocked to see who I was talking to on the phone, and it was Donna's parents. I went to them and said what happened and why was I screaming at them and for my Suprise they told me that I was suppressing my memories of being in the funeral and talking to them on the phone and they said what I did at the funeral and here it is I showed up drunk yelling and cursing her parents and making a scene. and as They told me this, I started to remember bits and pieces I remember having a conversation with someone, but I couldn't remember who it was.
So, I decided to confront dean’s daughter and she told me everything that happened that she and her friends heard someone screaming and went to look for them but all they found was the girl’s body lying on the floor of the and as I started to picture the killer who got away with the murder of my friend the daughters phone rang the ringtone was a Taylor swift song it was very memorable and I finally remembered who I was talking to at the funeral it was Donna’s brother.
He and I had never crossed paths, but I wanted to ask him what happened and why I was talking to him at the funeral. So, I went to her brother, and he said, "don’t you remember what happened the last time you fought with me”. I said please refresh my memory as I don’t clearly know why we were arguing he said and that I had accused him of not protecting his sister and he said some mean things about my life so I told him to skip all that and I asked him why was I accusing without any proof he said that he had got an unknown call on the day of Donna’s murder and he didn’t answer but the person had left a voice mail.
So, I told him to play it for me it was just random Noise but then I heard a voice which I was very familiar with and guess who the person was it was my roommate. I was shocked to know this since I was living with this person sharing the same room. I was terrified but I wanted to catch donnas' killer and bring her justice. And stop her from not killing anyone else.
