Put Behind Bars

Chapter 5

Bailey arrived at school later than expected, but i still had time to work this plan out. Bailey was in position minutes later, but i still needed the locker combination. Time for my flirting. Jason was at his locker when I turned around. I walked over and kissed him before he opened his locker. After, I started a sweet conversation while peeking over to see the numbers. 31-17-58. I memorized the numbers right before he opened it. This plan was going to work. I didn't have my first class with Jason, so he wouldn't suspect anything. Bailey did her part after I left Jason. I don't know what those two were talking about, but he was engaged in the conversation. I blended into a crowd close to the locker to make sure he wasn't looking. Bailey had taken him far down the hall, so I was safe. I put 31-17-58 into the locker. The code worked! I opened his locker to find books, some goth stuff and the tube right in the back corner. I took the tube and bolted for the chemistry lab. I didn't have to perfect gear or this experiment, but I had to deal with it. First, I took a whiff of the liquid. It had a sharp smell, not like water. I tasted the drink and immediately spit it out. The liquid was..was.. poison?! The warning bell rang. I picked up everything and put the tube back in his locker lie nothing happened. Lunch came later in the day, that was when Bailey came to me with questions.

"So what was the liquid in the tube?" Bailey asked.
"I think it was...*Whispered* poison."
"What? Why would he have poison?"
"I don't know, but maybe we should find out whoever gave that tube to Jason."
"Good idea, but what does this person look like?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling Jason won't be done meeting up with him."
"It might be time we met up with Jason at your house again," said Bailey, mischievously.

    Later today, Bailey told me she saw Jason taking the tube out of his locker. I quickly found him and followed him, until I was caught by the principal. I got a ticket for being out of class without a hall pass. By then, I lost Jason. But when Cheerleading practice came, he wasn't far. Celia (Head cheerleader) went to go get a drink of water and go to the bathroom when we heard a shriek from behind the bleachers. Everyone ran over to see what the problem was. Celia was laid on the ground with blood running out of her mouth, she was dead. I looked for Bailey if she was thinking the same thing as me. There was only one thing i thought could do that to Celia, poison.
    Jason wasn't in sight when the murder happened, so he was a suspect at this point. If I could find more about this murder then I could conclude that it was or wasn't Jason. I returned to the seen of the crime at midnight that night with Bailey. We looked for ,what seemed, hours and nothing. Jason had covered up his tracks. So, now I need to be beside Jason at all times. What game is he trying to play? I asked myself. Whatever it was, it wasn't going to last for very long.
    Weeks have past, and Bailey and I have found nothing. Jason hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, so he must be waiting for the perfect time to pounce. The only thing different about tonight is that Jason is coming to my house for dinner. My parents are forcing me to make dinner for him, they think its special. I was amos done cooking for Jason when the door bell rang. I answered it to see Jason standing there in the rain soaking wet. I explained to him that I was almost finished with dinner. I tried to hurry along, but that didn't work out too well. Next minute i know, I have a bleeding finger, I cut my self. Jason bandaged my finger right up, but his face looked suspicious. One thing i noticed that night, was that he couldn't look away from my bleeding finger, with a bandage or not.
