A New Killer's Diary

Chapter 10 - The Map

   Sometimes, in life, we feel kinda lost. But you're actually never lost... You'll always know the planet you're in. You'll probably know the country too, or even the city. But if you don't know any of that then you might need...

   - A Map! - I Screamed. - I got a Map!
   What was the probability of getting a good thing on the first mystery box? Maybe I was the one overthinking that much...
   The Map had the full view of the maze and where every obstacle was, the points it gave us and the exit line too. It couldn't be better...
   - Congratulations! - Someone said.
   - Oh! You scared me, Emma! How was the Karaoke Challenge?
   - I got the perfect score. - She answered.
   - Maybe you should really be a singer!
   - Shh!!! You don't want me to scream out your secrets, do you? - She answered.
   - Sorry... - I apologized.

   The door opened quickly. Butterfly didn't even have a chance to do anything. What was it? It was a couple kissing. A man and a woman. The men looked at her and said:
   - Hey! This zone is only for adults! Get out of here right now!
   - I-Im sorry... - She said, embarrassed.
   She left the house, leaving the couple alone... The house was full of people. Butterfly was thirsty so she went down to have a drink.
   - Hello! I love your costume! I am a tiger! - Said someone.
   - Get out of my way! - She said... Maybe he said something offensive to her... Or maybe he made her remember someone...
   She put the water in one cup and drank it in less than a second. Another guy came close to her:
   - Hey! What are you thinking of the party?
   - Hello. It's nice. Why aren't you wearing a costume? - She asked.
   - I live here, even though I'm sick of these parties... My parents just do it for the money... And then they make me to ask other people if they're liking the party... - He said.
   - Hey, wanna make a deal? - She asked.
   - It depends on the deal... - He said.
   - I'll help you to end these parties, and you give me 1 million bucks.
   - 1 million? That's way too much money... - He said.
   - Do you want to continue living your life like this? - She asked, looking at him.
   He thought about it... After a few seconds he said:
   - Deal! I'm Cole by the way!
   - Bella! - Answered Butterfly.

   - Where are you going now Emma? - I asked.
   - I'll probably go to another talent obstacle. Can you show me the map?
   - You promise not to steal it?
   - Of course not! - She said. - You don't trust me?
   I gave her the map.
   - Thanks for it! - She said, giving it back to me.
   Emma's capacity for memorizing things wasn't human. That's why she always gets good grades on the tests. If I showed her this diary, she would probably memorize it in less than a week.
   Talking about Diary, I would probably change its name... I don't share that much detective stuff here. I'll probably get other ideas soon... Maybe "A Student's Diary"? No, that's too boring... "Oliver's Diary" seems uncreative, but it is cool.
   - The student with the most points has 220 points. - Said the Principal.
   220 points already?!?! I gotta hurry! Where's the nearby obstacle? It's the "Memory Test"! I should go there!

   - So, Bella, how are you planning to end with the parties? - Asked Cole.
   - What if we ruined this party, making everyone leave? - Proposed Butterfly.
   - That's really good, Bella! You're smarter than you look! - He said.
   - I'll take that as a compliment... - She answered, going to the second floor.
   - Where are you going? Aren't we going too fast? - Asked Cole.
   - Shut up and follow me!
   She entered one of the open rooms.
   - Try to find something that may ruin your family's party's reputation! - She said, looking for money.
   - Wait, so you weren't going to?...
   - Of course not! You Pervert!
   - S-Sorry! - He apologized. - I'll help you look for something then.

   - Hello! Follow me! - Said the Memory Test's Staff Member. - I'm going to show you 10 colours and you have to guess as much as you can right.
   - Okay!
   The test started: "Red, Red, Blue, Orange, Red, Violet, Yellow, Green, Red, Blue". A type of keyboard with the rainbow colours appeared. It was time to answer...
   It was something like... Red, Red, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, Red, Green, Violet, Blue. Right? Don't overthink, just press...
I got 5 right, which means 50 points... When I returned outside, Caroline was on the line.
   - Hello, Caroline! - I said. - How are you doing?
   - I'm good! - She answered.
   - I was expecting you to be on other types of obstacles... Like the Sports-Related ones.
   - Oh! I've already done all of them! - She answered.
   - WHAT? How many points do you have? - I asked.
   - I'm now with 230! - She said. - I guess I am the player with the most points! The principal's announcement was said the moment I got 220 points.
   - Have you opened any box?
   - 0! - She answered. - And I am not planning to open any box. You should get going or you won't be able to win against me.
   - You're right! - I said. Getting out of the Memory Obstacle.
