Chess 2: Checkmate

Chapter 12: Confrontation

It's 3 a.m. I'm still trying to recover from that nightmare about Beatriz.

We ordered pizza at 3 a.m. It's a good thing they deliver 24/7.

We all chipped in to pay. Obviously we were cheap when it came to chipping in.

A large Cheese pizza and a medium pepperoni l/sausage pizza was much needed.

While eating a chicken wing and Parmesan bread, I checked downstairs to get myself a root beer.

We had no more root beer, but I know Tristan does. Tristan has a mini fridge in his room with a whole case of root beer.

I knocked on his door, but then I realized, I'm Jen Nakpil. I don't knock on doors, I carelessly open them.

I opened his door and saw something I was obviously sad about, but not very sad for some reason.

I saw Tristan, lying on his bed with a pillow tied to his face. Obviously he's dead because a pillow can suffocate you. It's odd how  one thing that makes us happy (a pillow) can also kill us.

Love hurts.

Love kills.

But back to the point.

Tristan is dead.

"You guys, Tristan is dead!" I yelled out.

It's funny that Audrey was the first one who came racing in here.

"You two may not have had any chemistry, but I find it sweet you came here first."

"Tristan is really dead?" Audrey asked.

"Sadly, yes."

We all just looked at each other.

It's either we're getting really tired of all these murders happening or we really don't care Tristan is dead.

You can't blame us for being tired. What is this? Death #5? But obviously, if my dad or Travis died, then I would really be sad.

But then it came to me. Beatriz was just in the house.

"Are you completely sure Beatriz is the killer?" Bea Bianca asked.

"Yes, absolutely! My nightmares don't lie."

"Your nightmares don't lie?" Marissa asked.

"I think you meant 'hips don't lie'--"

"NOT NOW CHERRY!" I just wanted to say that.

I was listening to "no scrubs" by TLC for the rest of the day since I couldn't sleep anymore. Pizza and death. That's how my morning went.

I went to check dad's room, and thank God. He's still alive.

Today, Cherry, Bea Bianca, Audrey, Morgan, Marissa, and I went to Hemmings-Zacresto to have an intervention/confrontation with the killer/Beatriz.

I'm absolutely positively sure that Beatriz is the killer! I just wanna know why, and why she is only targeting the guys.

Maybe what Morgan said a few days ago made a point. Maybe the killer really had something against guys. That's weird. Beatriz loved guys. Literally. She was quite the charm back in senior year.

Well obviously my squad would be charming. We're hot as hell. Not trying to brag, but it's true.

Marissa has had her boyfriend (whose name shall not be mentioned for it is a sin) since freshman year. He's not even her age. He wasn't even enrolled to the school. It just happened.
