The Day Before...

Damian was frustrated by how Victoria came and threatened him, how dare she threaten the king of the school? Or the previous king since he was dumped by the queen, "Hey new kid!" Damian spots Samuel from afar and makes his way towards him, "Come here," He pulls Samuel by the shoulder and sits him down next to him at the cafeteria table.

The Rivervine International School cafeteria was like no other in the world. It had snow-white glass walls all around and it made you feel like you were sitting in a kingdom. It had an open buffet for the students to come and eat whatever it is they dream of.

Whether it was a steak sandwich to a quick popcorn snack, the cafeteria had it, but what the cafeteria missed was some students to appreciate it; all it had were dull, selfish, Rivervine students.

"What do you want?" Samuel clearly didn't want to be near Damian or people like him, I guess his past experiences with jocks and bullies led to him murdering them, but oh well.

"I need your help," Damian leans closer so it would only be Samuel listening, "I know the rumors are true..." He whispers to Samuel, but Samuel seems unbothered and continues to play with his pen on the table, "You're going to help me." Damian slams his hand on the table and covers the pen with his fist,"Or what?" Samuel looks up at Damian now, "What will the king of Rivervine do?" He adds sarcastically.

But Damian doesn't bother replying. He simply picks up his phone and turns it towards Samuel, "There is this beautiful number that I can quickly dial and tell them your whereabouts. I can tell the police that you escaped here and they will come and catch you."

Samuel laughs at Damian's threat, "Under what charges love?" He gets up and reaches over to pick up his pen, but Damian grabs his arm, "You walk away from me now and everyone in Rivervine will know the truth of what happened that night."

Damian seemed sure this time, the smile on his face made Samuel sit back down and listen to him before making any reckless decisions, "What do you need?" Samuel lets out a long breath, "I need you to kill Victoria Blane," He smiles, "And I need you to make it look like a suicide."

Samuel blankly stared at Damian while he thought about what to say, "What do I get?" He finally spits, but Damian already had his script memorized and his answers tattooed, "I'll make it all disappear, no one sees the surveillance footage of you running away after the murder of your parents, and all charges will be dropped," He takes a deep breath, "accept it Samuel, no one will believe you when you tell them your father tried to shoot you and accidentally hit your mother, even if it is the truth. You will always be the person who killed his family because of a girl." Damian picks up his things and walks away, leaving Samuel to his thoughts and misery.

The Next Day, 5 Months Until Victoria's Death...

Victoria was late for school as usual, but to her surprise Isabella wasn't waiting for her at the door like she usually does.

She could sense that Damian ran to Isabella and told her all about her threats to sell them out, but she didn't expect Isabella to forget about her that quickly, not that she cares.

"Late again Miss Blane," Mr. Jeff adjusted his glasses, "Take a seat." Mr. Jeff was Victoria's psychology teacher, and she absolutely hated him.

He always wore a beige suit with an ugly tie that had weird textiles all over it. His hairline was receding and his glasses always dropped below his eye-level.
