Who Did It?

Love me!

For the next few days the texts from the anonymous person got worse.

"He's not dead.
I'll be Keith
Talk to me
My love
Gabrielle please!"

Normally the idea of a secret admirer would be exciting. But this person wasn't a normal one. Not only did he want Gabrielle. He wanted to be Keith for her.

She tried her best to ignore it. She had enough going on at school as it was. Distractions weren't what she needed right now. She was getting ready to return to Richmond. Her first day back from being detained didn't go so well.

She needed sheer focus for the day ahead her today. This crazy admirer of hers could wait. Again she felt a pit in her stomach as soon as she got to the  Richmond Academy gates.

Now she knew how far they could go. She wasn't safe. She could feel the pressure from the stares and not so quiet whispers.

"Gabrielle!" She heard a voice behind her. As soon as she turned she saw some guy. He had the most eager smile there was. "Wow you're back! I didn't know. I'm so glad you're better now" He said with a wide smile. Gabrielle was shocked.

Was this another sick prank waiting to happen? She looked around warily but the other people there didn't seem interested or anything. Most of them just went to class. Who was this guy?

She didn't notice the whole time she looked around lost in her thoughts. He stared right at her. "I'm new here..." He said almost quietly.

"I hope to make good friends with you Gabrielle" He said still with his big smile. "Oh by the way. I'm Kaito. It's so nice to meet you"

"Oh I'm-"

"Gabrielle Rosa Delavide" He said finishing her sentence for her. She felt her heart sink. He probably knows from the rumours going around in school. She looked down not wanting to face this guy.

"It's okay. You're here because they haven't proven you guilty right?" He said reassuringly placing a shaky hand on her shoulder. This was a first. Ever since the whole thing no one had ever showed this support. Not even her father.

She wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry. And thank him. But she kept her stoic face showing slight softness.

"Thank you" she said after a while. He smiled at her. Maybe school wasn't going to be so bad now. After walking her to her locker he went off to his.

It was oddly relieving to have someone like Kaito now. When she opened her locker, she found a red rose. And a small envelope.

She curiously opened to find a letter.

"Gabrielle please my love
Love me. Love me. Love me."

The ink seemed to be unusual. It was when she took a closer look when she saw it was dried blood. This note was written in blood.

She quickly dropped it with a small scream. She felt nauseous. Panic settled in. Her stalker knew where she schooled. The letter lay on the floor. The words calling out to her.

Love me Gabrielle!
