"You can't just leave me here Cho, I love you!"
"You lied to me... You're a murderer..! How could you do such a selfish thing?!" 
His voice echoes through my mind, my body tossing and turning under the sheets. Suddenly, I jumped up from my bed "No!!" I screamed, breathing heavily as tears ran down my face. It was a nightmare, the same one years ago. At first, it was a blurred face, but it was Cho this time... but why?
I toss myself off the bed, stretching my body slowly. Rubbing my eyes fixes my vision as the sun shines through the blinds. The alarm goes off on my phone, 6:30 p.m. "Too early..." I mumbled, wanting to toss my body back to bed. Too bad Cho will be at school today, so I must go and see him... Somehow. Walking down my stairs, I was introduced with a cold atmosphere. It felt empty in this house, I need to change it somehow yet, I like it. 
Before anything I stepped into the shower, turning the tap on and waking myself up with a spray of the coldest temperature of water. My body shivers, looking down as my hair turns damp.
I thought to myself, "How could he fall for me when my body isn't beautiful... You pervs are disgusting, you know that??" I step out of the shower, drying myself up before getting on the School's uniform. "Tch, better wash these soon." The phone rings, picking it up and answering it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, don't forget to drop the phone at the spot. And come back to my place. I got another job you'll find entertaining~" 
Hmm... I wonder what she has in store for me? 

5 hours later, school hallways, end of school.

As I walked through the halls, I noticed a hooded figure leaning on the wall. There was a line coming from inside the hood to the pockets of it's ripped jeans. The figure looked up, right into my eyes. It was Absence. I approached her, standing next to her. 
"It took me a while to get in here, This whole building is wired down; cameras and metal scanners? They're overprotective as hell." Absence scoffed, slouching her back to the wall once more. 
"Anyways, you got the phone right now? It would make my next explanation easier." 
I searched the bag, pulling out the pink phone and giving it to her. She inspects it, turning it on and breaking the passcode. 
"I hate pink, girly as hell. No offense, since I can tell you really like the color. Anyways, The girl you poisoned benefits both of us since she's gone. I got a contract done and earned their trust back, you got another girl off your list. This next one though may be a handful for you." 
She looks around, watching the students pass by. A group of girls in fancy, expensive clothing sway past us, looking down on their phones before one of them looks up. 
"Hey ladies, look at these two lesbians awkwardly standing over here." 
"Just leave them alone Jess, they're not popular enough to bring down." 
"But... It's Fuse Yoka, y'know? Didn't you hear the rumors from earlier?" 

The girls were talking over each other constantly before one of them yelled in a high pitched voice.
"Would you please, shut up?! Lemme through." 
Out of the crowd, a tall girl walked right out and stood before me. She had black, silky smooth hair, followed by her gigantic sunglasses and red lipstick that defined her face besides the perfect blend of makeup. She wore a denim jacket, ripped and filled with holes. Her legging was tight, Defining her thighs before her bright red high heels that explained her towering height. 
"So, You're Fuse Yoka. Just because you have her last name doesn't mean you can start making friends and making a name for yourself. Only "I"  can be here. You don't deserve to be famous, you belong... Down the fame chain. Her group of girls giggle, smiling and a few texting about the subject at hand.
"And you, I remember when you were here. No one likes you anymore nowadays. Fuse, you should really come with us and stay with us ladies, you don't deserve to be around here."
Absence stayed silent, looking away from the tall woman before she scoffs and flips her hair.
"Hmph, quiet as usual. I guess what happened really did kill you inside. Anyways, let's go ladies."

The crowd leaves, whispers and the sound of phones buzzing on and off constantly fade away as the group turns the corner. Absence looks up and sighs heavily. I hesitated to ask a personal question, but I rather keep it a surprise for myself.
"That was Lyrassa. The so-called 'Queen of Redlands Academy.' You're not the only one that hates her, but she's a big rival. She's the big target for both of us but she's nearly untouchable. She has deep pockets for the school to keep her rep in check, even her grades are rigged; Not even I could expose her." There was the worry in her voice, distress even. I can already tell they had a past together, a rather dirty and painful memory. She sighed again, blinking for a few seconds before walking off and waving me to follow.
"C'mon, you don't mind skipping class right? That's the least of our worries anyways. Let's talk for a bit while I show you a tour of the school, but digging where others dare not to."
