Obsession

Chapter 16

I felt so alive,so enthralled,so enriched. Not just because I taught those girls a little something about drooling over my man.

My man
My man
MY MAN!!!!!

No! No! No!

He is not mine he wants to keep things professional. He used to want that now he wants me even if he could lose his job,he still wants-

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an angry male voice. I looked up to see the angry,red face of my teacher.

"Oh I'm sorry did you say something." I said in my sweetest possible voice.

I could practically hear him growl under his breath. He replied to me in a strained voice as if he was holding back a scream.
"Yes I did. I said, do you have some special reason you are not doing the newly assigned work I gave you ten minutes ago." I smiled a simple plan forming in my head.

"Why of course sir I would never just not do my work. What kind of a student would I be then." I put my hand over my chest feigning hurt.
He rolled his eyes and looked at me expectantly, waiting for my answer.

"Well you see sir you were recently introduced to my bodyguard."
I said while making a motion towards Calvin who was standing next to me looking totally gorgeous wearing black jeans a black leather jacket a white v-neck covered by a black bulletproof vest. His gun was at the back of his pants and his were close enough to grab it at any given moment he was wearing aviators so he looked mysterious and even though I couldn't see his eyes I knew they were piercing me trying to pick me apart bit by bit.
I tore my gaze away for him sealing off my emotions and my heart.
I then shook my head focusing on my current situation as my teacher urged me to hurry it up as he 'didn't have all day'. "I just wanted to give him some time to make sure my books are safe."
My teacher rolled his eyes as if to say unbelievable, he then shook his head and went back to his seat. The class slowly became louder in their whispers until everyone was full on talking. Calvin took the opportunity to come to my desk. He leaned his head right next to my ear and said. "Would it have killed you to tell him you didn't feel like it." I laughed. "Yes,yes it really would've. I mean it might have actually made me sound... " I leaned forward next to his ear and whispered softly. "Rude. And we both know I hate being rude."
"Oh really,honestly. And here I thought you might've actually been having fun."

The bell rang and I quickly rushed off and made my way to my locker. Only to be met by a small crowd, which in my rush for lunch I had hoped to avoid. I watched the crowd and noticed something was wrong people were screaming and crying and many people were just in shock. I pushed forward easily, but as I reached the front of the crowd. I immediately wanted to turn back. All of the lockers on the left side were covered in blood and right in the centre directly under my locker was a body. Not just any body but Crystals body...

I screamed and ran towards her body. We had only been friends for some time ,but I really did care. I felt the rest of our group circling me around her body. A few minutes later the police arrived and put tape around the area. Ruling it a crime scene.
I was in a state of shock.
The police lifted her body and slowly zipped her into a black bag.

Beep beep

I looked down and saw I had a new message from the group.

Meet us at the back of the school.. Come alone.

I felt a bit sceptical at the message, it didn't feel right.
I tapped Calvin. "Hey I'm just gonna go get some air,okay? He looked at me sympathetically. He then whispered to me, "I'm really sorry about your friend,but even more now I can't let you leave alone." I sighed my brain ticking quickly coming up with a new plan.
"Umm,well i don't mind. I just want to go to the bathroom." "Okay." He said. We walked to the school bathroom.
I quickly slipped into the bathroom and rushed out the window immediately. Hopefully he would just think I was constipated or something. I jumped out the window and landed softly outside. I walked to our meeting spot and was greeted by the sight of Joe, Brad, Owen, Ray ,Rebecca and Jessica all forming a semi circle around something. Or better yet as I inched closer I realized they were covering someone.
I cleared my throat and they all turned to look at me I saw their faces were filled with terror and worry. I zoned in and looked, it was Jennifer and her face was completely distraught she was shaking like crazy and looked like she was having a panic attack.

I scanned her entire body and what I saw shocked me. I had thought she was just sad about Crystal, but what I saw in front of me scared the living daylights out of me I kept screaming in my head.

No No No!!!

Tears formed in my eyes and I started inching backwards.
I finally found my voice and asked her the heavy question in my head.

"Di-di-did you.... Did you kill her?"

She looked down at her blood covered hands the knife dripping with blood and some solid substance on the knife.

I could feel the bile rising in my throat.

She just stood there holding the knife I was looking around at my friends wondering how they were okay with this.

Suddenly we heard a noise.

"Hey Juliet I was looking all over for you!!"
We all jumped and screamed covering Jennifer again. He looked at us his eyes questioning us.
He hadn't seen Jennifer yet...
