Teacher Terror

Chapter 3 (Trust)

"No....No...It can't be"I mumble in disbelief. My mind can't comprehend what just happened. Mack is fucking dead. How the hell. WHO THE HELL DID THIS?!? The first name that came to mind, Garret. Garret did this. I search the room for him but he's nowhere to be seen.

"Mack...no.." I softly sob. When I take a closer look at Mack I see the weapon he was killed with. But it wasn't Garret's pocket knife. It was a nail file with a sharp end. But none of the boys use nail files. I turn to see Hannah with bloody hands.

"Hannah what the hell?" I ask. "Please Jack it's not what you think" Hannah replies. "You monster, you killed Mack!" I exclaim.
"I DIDNT I SWEAR" Hannah yells.

I remember Garret telling us our first lesson has begun I'm guessing it's trust from what's written on the board. Could it have been Hannah? Could it have been Garret?
Could it have been someone else in this room?

"Listen I think this is what Garret wants, he wants to divide us, for us to figure out who's "trustworthy" here" I calmly say.
Hannah agrees. There are 14 people left in this classroom. We lost 2.

I examine Mack and Linda's bodies and found something in Linda's pocket. It's a nail file?!? But Linda is dead how could she have killed Mack? My suspicions still lean towards Hannah but I'll keep that to myself for now.

I see Mack was stabbed in the back so even if he did survive the attack he would have known who his attacker was. I look at the word trust on the board again and find a bit of pink nail polish in between the letters.

"Everyone get over here and show me your hands" I order. Everyone is clean except for a quiet student named Justine. Her fingernails polished with the color pink. I show everyone the pink stains on the board and Justine smirks.

"Heheheh" Justine giggles. Justine continues to laugh and it gets louder and louder. I quickly realize Justine sits behind so she could have easily gotten the nail file and she wasn't that far from Mack either.

"Justine did you do this?!" I ask. Justine claps. "Wow congratulations you figured out Mack's killer. You've also passed the first test. Keep up the good work or else." Justine says.

The lights go back off. What the hell? A gunshot is heard. My ears are ringing.
The lights turn back on and Justine and another kid Anthony are near the class sink,dead. And a new word on the board is written. It says "Truth".
