Call Me CryBaby

4 | Milk & Cookies

The next day, I planned on reporting the terror yesterday to the police after school. I wanted the psycho to rot in jail for what he had done to me. He deserved it.

I wore a turtle neck dress to school to hide the stitches on my neck. My neck hurt so bad whenever I move or tilt it. It made me wince and cry in agony. I had to keep my neck still and that was really hard to do. It just made me look really stiff and awkward. But whatever, as long as my neck doesn't hurt.

In my first class of the day, people were already gossiping about what happened yesterday.

"It was a girl. She got killed in the girls bathroom on the West Wing."
"What? Who was it? The girl?"
"I heard her name was Amy. She excused herself to the bathroom then never came back."
"Who do you think killed her?"
"A psycho, duh. Her eyes, ear, fingers, are gone! Not to mention that her throat was stabbed, she choked to death!"
"Damn, I wonder who the killer was. It could be one of the teachers or possibly one of us."
"Exactly. I don't think this school is safe anymore. My mom said we should move-"

I stopped listening. Realization hit me hard. The eyes, ear, and fingers in my locker.. those could be Amy's. And those were still in my locker. I wondered why the principal hadn't called out my name yet. I was pretty sure everyone who walked by my locker wanted to barf.
I quickly excused myself to the bathroom.

I ran through the endless maze of hallways to get to my locker. When I got closer, I didn't smell anything. I reached my locker and slowly opened it.

Nothing was there.

But-but.. how? Had someone peek inside my locker? Why didn't the principal call out for me yet? Or.. maybe the killer cleaned everything without leaving any evidence? But.. why?

My heart was pounding against my chest. I just didn't understand any of these. My head felt like exploding by thinking so hard. Why would the psycho did any of these to me? Why me? And what game? The paper said 'let the game begin', but what game? And the psycho left a clue as to who he/she might be. It started with the letter C. But who could C might be?

Calum? Casey? Calvin?

Calum? my ex boyfriend. But why would he did that? I couldn't come up with a possible motive. He was a good guy, and we ended things smoothly without leaving any beefs.

Casey? A mean girl in my biology class. She was a bully, so there was a chance that she might be the killer. Maybe she hated her so much that she had to kill her? But why would she ever attack me? She probably didn't even know I existed.

Calvin? The football player. He was the type of guy who bailed classes and one of the school's douche bag. But why would he kill Amy? Maybe Amy cheated on him or something? Nah, Calvin wouldn't care. He could just choose any girl he wanted, he didn't have any feelings, soo.. nope.

Maybe it was one of the teachers.. or janitors.. I was determined to find out who the killer was. Even though I was scared to death.

Suddenly, my phone beeped. It was a text. From an unknown number.

Miss me?

What the actual hell? I quickly replied.
Who is this?

My phone beeped again.
The one you're looking for.

What?
Whoever this is, stop messing around.

I waited for a minute but there was no answer. So instead, I went to the CCTV room. I had just realize that this school had CCTV's in every corner. Then why didn't they catch the killer yet? And did they see what happened at my locker yesterday?

When I got there, I asked the guard a few questions.

"Just please give me an answer then I promise I'll leave. Did the CCTV caught something yesterday sir?" I asked politely.
"Fine. Look, kid, I'm not supposed to tell you this but, the CCTV records from yesterday's gone." He rolled his eyes.
"Gone? How the heck?" I panicked. "Go back to class, kid. And don't ruin my sleep again." The guard grunted and closed the door in front of me.

I was on my way back to class from the CCTV room. I realized there was a new text from another unknown number.
Ugh. This was driving me nuts.

Girls Bathroom. Second floor. South Wing. Now.

What the hell? What's going on there? Why would someone send a random location to me? Unless if it's not random.. I'm not going there!
...
Fudge it, I'm definitely going there.
My curiosity was just too strong, as always.

I was walking alone on the South Wing. The south wing on the second floor was un-used. Nobody knew why. There were a few empty classes here, but they only used them to place stocks of chairs, desks, and others.

I stood in front of the Girls bathroom's door. I knew something wasn't right, but I was so close. My curiosity was overloaded. So I gently pulled open the door.

When I saw who were inside,
I gasped.
