A friend to remember

42: DV.

Colton jumped hearing a bloodcoiling scream, he didn't think, just jumped into action. He knew who screamed and he knew something must have happened and he was right.

Something was indeed wrong. When he got to where Denise was, she was shaking and crying. He wondered why she was screaming but he stopped when he noticed the body, slouched against the shower.

A blade in one hand, a large deep cut in the other, a wet paper in the hand that had been cut. A girl... a student... shit! He pulled her away from the scene and pulled his phone out.

"Get security to the female swimming local room," Colton said as soon as the lime connected.

"Hello to you too, man. I am busy."

"Get someone down here now!" Colton screamed into the phone.

Denise was shaking, her eyes could not leave the dead body. She was terrified of what the fuck she just saw. Tears started falling from her eyes because anyone could see that the student was not alive anymore.

"Common, we need to leave." Colton ushered out.

Denise held her robe tightly, and Colton sat next to her. They watched as the police and the medical team lifted the body onto the bed and started wheeling it out of there.

"We have checked the cameras," one of the tech guys muttered to Electra.

"There is a missing footage but between three thirteen and three thirty-five, Denise entered the bathroom at four o eight," he explained. "Colton entered the bathroom four twelve." he showed her the footage.

"Who is she?" Electra questioned.

"Matha Elere." Matha Elera, Ashley's cousin, was found dead with hands slit in the bathroom stall of the Bellrich.

This was bad! This was bad. Electra was on probation. The amount of scandals that happened this semester was crazy. First, it was the dead student at her house, then the teacher sleeping with students, and now another student was dead?! There was no way she could get this under wraps.

"How is Detective Wale?" Electra asked with hope in her eyes. Maybe the girl wasn't dead, maybe they could get her help.

"I am sorry Electra, Matha Elere is dead and from what we could see, it could be suicide."

They knew why, they all knew why. After that scandal happened of course no one would be shocked if she took her life. She was one of the mentioned in the Zeet anonymous post, it was crazy how everything had escalated in just three and a half weeks.

"We found this note in her hand," he handed her the wet note. Electra looked at the blurry note.

I have no idea how to go about this but I know I have to do it. I am sick of everything that is happening in my life. I do want to do this everyone. Mr.Adetunji is a monster! He destroyed my life and I have decided to leave! I cannot bear the shame any longer...

Could she not have died at home?! Or in a club?!

No matter what everyone will tie the death of this girl back to Bellrich Academy, which will in turn become a problem for her.

"Couldn't she have died someone else?" Electra muttered with frustration. Wale's eyes widened, she wondered what the fuck is wrong with these people?! How does Electra say that about a dead person?!

"I will hum... get to the investigation..." Wale turned away.

Denise was still shaking, Colton was holding her and rubbing her back. Caleb was next to with Pedro behind them. The counselor was trying to talk to her but she was not hearing anything. Everything she could only see the girl, dead in front of her.
