One school, two murder and three suicide cases. It needn't do more to be at the top of the state's query list.
The news of Peter's death had spread even beyond the four borders of the school. Most parents withdrew their wards from the school the minute the news got to their ears.
The school was labelled 'The home of serial killers'.
"I don't think you'll be going back to that school" Jade's mum said putting on a slight frown.
"why?" Jade asked
"A kid was buttered there sometime ago and now this?"
"No...you'll have to leave" she concluded
"But mum all my friends are there... I can't just leave them" he complained
"Why must you be this unreasonable all the time? two people were just killed and all that bothers you are your friends?"
"You're leaving that school and it's final!"
Jade knew why he wanted to go back and it was certainly not because of friends. He had no friends.
He had a mission yet to be accomplished and he wasn't ready to give up either, at least not now that he already had a clue on who the killer was, not now that he has Kate's dairy with him.

*FLASHBACK TO THE NIGHT PETER WAS KILLED*
Everyone stood round the lifeless body, staring at it, unsure of what to do or what to even say. Silence engulfed the atmosphere.
Kate suddenly broke the ice
"I can't do this, I'm sorry I can't " she exclaimed and ran out. Jade still stood, staring at Anna with all disgust, he hated her for being the cause of everything.
" What should we do? "Caleb asked, scratching the back of his head and rubbing his neck and then sighing.
" I think we should report it to the school security " a member of the gang suggested
" No. We won't do that. "
" We'll leave him here, they'll definitely find him by tomorrow, and when they do, our names won't be involved in it" Anna said
"We'll leave him here. Really?
Is that how evil you all are?" Jade angrily bursted out. He then turned to Anna
"Hope you know all this happened because of you.
Peter just lost his life, all because you couldn't help but spread your legs like a cheap whore"
"Mind your tongue! " Caleb warned, already charging up towards him
"Y'all are murders. Y'all are evill" he angrily said, pointing to every single member of the gang before walking out.
Jade's heart was filled with rage, all he wished was that Anna too be killed this night just as they did Peter.
He wasn't thinking straight, he wasn't even thinking at all. He walked straight to the the school gate, where the school security officers were. He walked up to one of them and without even greeting he said
"We just killed someone at the cafeteria".
Soon, night became day. The blue and red lights from the flood of police cars lighted up the entire school.
Every member of the school parrot was left in total shock.
*who called the police? * they all wondered.
Jade himself went back to the class they were before the incident occurred. He held Peter's sweatshirt in his hands, some parts of it were stained with blood.
"What have you done Jade, What have you done" he muttered to himself.
The entire school was turned upside down. There were police officers at every corner of the school. Every one of them were bent on finding the killer.
A few police officers still stayed back in the car, most of them were young ladies. They were with Anna and the rest of the gang, questioning them.
Jade was still inside the abandoned classroom, lamenting and muttering things to himself. He was almost losing his mind.
He paused for a minute when he noticed a blue hard cover book on a desk in front of him. He reached for it. Opened it, the first page read
*Stay clear!
Katie's Own Dairy
February, 2001*
He kept flipping though, page by page, he kept reading till he got to the last entry. It was just written.
Jade was apprehended in terror. He knew who killed Peter. It was kate!

The night was pale, cold and silent.
Harsh wind blew, it was obvious the atmosphere was not joyous.
It was late, a minute or two to midnight.
Kate was outside, she was waiting for someone.
She's been standing there for more than an hour, but whatever brought her out there was obviously important. So she kept on waiting.
Not too long after, a strangely structured figure in an all black hooded attire walked up to her. She smiled, obviously happy that it was finally here.
"You wanted to see me" it said to her
"Yes I did"
"what then is it?" it subtly asked
"The secret, someone else now knows about it"
"who?!" it yelled
"Him" Kate said, handing the Strange figure a picture. It was a picture of Jade.
"End him" She added
"As you wish my lady" the figure bowed and then walked away the same way it came.
Kate still stood there even after the figure had left. Rage filled her eyes, she smelled of hate...
