The Trials

Chapter 3: Dancing Assailant

I looked at the bodies in pure disgust as Ana began to inspect them. I also went up and looked at the bodies, although i personally hate the sight of blood, it was necessary. "The heads of the bodies seemed to have been bashed in with no other injures" Ana said standing up and turning to me. "Goodluck" was all she said before walking away to conduct her own investigation. I went to the bodies and began searching. There definitely was a blunt force trauma, which most likely killed the victums. I looked around the crime scene and found a shattered screw and a block of wood with its paint all scratched  off on one end. Also, I had found a note that read:

  Ive liked you for some time now. And i wanted to dance with you tonight at the dance. Please come to the middle of the dancefloor during a slow song so i may dance with you, my beloved.

-unknown

I put the note in my pocket before i began to question the dancers. I had known that Cole was dancing with Adrianna and that Peytaun was dancing with Laure. But then again, im not sure wether its right to question them yet. I decided to go question the only square who didnt show up. Bryce Cormelian.

I knocked on his door, mentally preparing myself for what he might do. I made sure to hold my head high as the door slowly opened. Bryce was wearing a white muscle shirt and black short-shorts. "What'cha need?"  he asked leaning against his doorway. "Can i ask you questions regaurding the murder?" i asked as his eyes widened in fear. "M-murder!? Is that what the voice was talking about!?" he hollered in rage. I nodded and he sighed deeply. "Whatever. Ask away." He responded. I proceeded to ask him about the discoball and about Adrianna's note. "I never knew about Adrianna having a note but i do know about the discoball though" he said in a tired sigh. "Cole had asked me and Damien to go get the discoball from Adrianna's studio. When we got back, we found screws and used them to hold up the discoball. But they kept breaking" He said before turning around. "Anyways give me a bit. Ill be out later" and before i could ask any more questions he closed his door and locked it on me. As i walked away i could hear his muffled cries.

I went over to see Damien who also had helped with the hanging of the discoball. Apparently, according to Caden, he had left the Cafeteria and was sitting in his room.  I knocked on his door and ran over the questions once more in my head.

1. Ask about the discoball
2. Ask about dance partners
3 ask about the set up

He opened the door and revealed to me his shirtless wet body with nothing on but a small towel. "Sup?" he said crossing his arms. "I need to ask you a few questions. Did you hang up the discoball and if so what did you use?". He seemed to think for a bit before responding,"i took the discoball to the Cafeteria and tried to hang it up with Bryce. But like every hour the screw would snap. So we couldnt hang it up. I left for a break with everyone and left Bryce alone in the cafeteria. When we got back it was hanging up and Bryce was looking tired. "Did he ever tell you about how he hung it up?" I asked in curiosity. He shook his head in defeat, causing me to let out a deep sigh. "Okay. Do you know anything about Peytaun or Cole?" I asked in a pry. "Cole hosted the party and worked with all the balloons, confetti, and table tops along with setting up the dance floor. Peytaun on the other time had only helped move the tables" He told me in a rush. "Good good. Alright well anything else about how the party was set up?" I asked in a sigh. He shook his head and spoke "Cole had went and got the smaller decorations while Bryce and I got the heavier ones". "Anything else?" I asked disappointed. There wasn't much i will be able to go off of if i cant get anymore information. He shook his head slow and sad, "thats all i know. Sorry. I gotta get dressed. So unless you wanna see a whole lotta pale, you better run". I busted out laughing and almost fell over as i walked away from his room. Once i began to collect myself, I went back to Bryce's room. On my way there, I saw him leaving the 2nd floor and running towards the Cafeteria. I took this opportunity and ran as fast as i could go his room. I opened the ,surprisingly unlocked, door and took in as much of the room as I could. The room was a carbon copy of mine, but with red instead of purple and weight racks scattered around the room. I checked the bathroom, dressers, closet, and nightstand; but held to no avail. I went over to the bed and pulled up the sheets and blankets, before deciding to cross him off my suspects list. It wasn't until I actually kicked the bed in rage that i heard a sharp 'clink' and began to shake the bed thoroughly. I then pulled the mattress away from the wall and peeked in. There was a power drill and 3 screws all thick enough to hold the discoball up and not fall. I gasped and quickly left the room. Deep in thought i began to return to the cafeteria.
