Chapter 15: Sleep deprived Heartbreaker Contemplations

            It was early Monday morning, and when I say early, I mean early. My alarm was showing me 4.00 a.m. The reason for my early start was that I couldn’t sleep. The idea of the heartbreaker just kept me up! Before I started with any matchmaking, I had to find out who the heart breaker was!  

I was almost certain that the heart breaker went to Carelly high, which left about 500 suspects. I had a feeling that the heartbreaker wasn’t a staff member though. I didn’t have a valid reason for that assumption, but it was mostly because for the heart breaker to be able to spread the most hate possible, it would be easier if he/she was a pupil.

That then narrowed it down to 450. Great! This was going to be like taking candy from a baby… A baby with large fangs and laser eyes.

I sighed dejectedly. This was impossible. I needed more hints. For five minutes, I just laid there, barely moving and just thinking. Then it came to me. Nicole and Lance! They were the first couple the heartbreaker had targeted, which means that they had come in contact with him/her that Friday. The heartbreaker could have planted the anger and ideas in Lance’s head during the entire school day.

Which leaves me about 200 suspects, seeing how the other students have class in another wing then us, and the chances that Lance crossed them were very slim. I couldn’t rule them out definitely though.

For a second, a thought passed through my mind. What if the heartbreaker is somebody I know?

I shook my head. If I think like that, then I’m screwed. If you can’t trust your friends anymore, then whom can you trust?

Anyways, it wasn’t as if anyone I knew had the makings of a heartbreaker. I know they can fake emotions and all that, but I should be able to feel that they’re evil, right? I can’t know since I have never met one, but I had a feeling that if I saw one, I would recognize it for it’s true nature immediately. At least I hoped so…

I had to stop this! Paranoia is not good for my health.

I shut me eyes, trying to force myself to fall asleep. Don’t think about the heartbreaker. Don’t think about the heartbreaker. I kept on telling myself, but of course that didn’t work.

Don’t think of a penguin playing tennis. What will a normal person think off? A penguin playing tennis. That thought distracted me for a while though, as I was wondering how a penguin could hold a tennis racket, but quickly the heartbreaker came back into my mind.

If only they had a sign above their heads saying “Heartbreaker.” That would be so much easier.

Finally I somehow fell asleep, since at around 7.00 a.m my clock woke me up. I turned it off, and went back to my bed. I had only slept 3 or so hours. Definitely not enough. With a groan, I got out of bed, and walked to the shower like a zombie. I turned the ice cold water on and stuck my head in. Immediately I jumped up, awake. I shot into action, and started getting dressed. My eyes had bags under them, but I didn’t care. My hair was it’s usual messy, but today wasn’t the day I was going to start combing it.

I hurriedly brushed my teeth, and walked down to the kitchen.

My mom and dad were both there for once. They usually had such different timetables, I  had to usually spend time with one parent at a time.
