Rose's Thorns: A Tale of Fate

Chapter Seven

Drama is like a job; you get rewarded with moolah. The catch is, your salary depends on your job & your position in it. See, the meat of the drama is your money. The harder you work for the details, the juicier your story gets.
That's what's testing me. About a couple of weeks after Rose's badass One-Punch-Man-Hit comeback, her and Victor only showed up to school for one day. Weirdest thing was the fact that they weren't... competitive. Fuck, they went back to their old selves. No, they were even closer.
Yeah yeah, I know what you're all thinking;
Damn, doesn't this kook have anything better to do with herself?
Well, no. I don't.
I'm neglected at home, so I pretty much have to fend for myself. If I skip classes and assignments, run out of money, &/ or get raped & die, my parents couldn't give two flaming fucks. So, I work at Walmart during weekdays, and on weekends, as prostitute at a party house, so I can afford my drugs.
It's only when I get bored and don't feel like fucking some random douche bag I watch people, 'cause they seem to have more interesting stories. Of course, word of my "hobbies" spreads quickly (goddamn high school gossip). As a result, I was nicknamed many things, such as:
•Hazel's Nuts,
•Druggie-in-a-blanket,
•The Walmart Hooker,
•Literal High-schooler, &
•Hazard Hazel (personally my favourite).
Enough about me; back to our dynamic duo:
Not only have Victor and Rose seemed to become better friends, they've seemed to become something more than that. Unless if, let's just say, they enjoy the taste of one another's saliva. Like I was supposed to escape to my spot in the janitor's closet (to get high instead of run around in gym) when I was greeted by the two on the floor.
Luckily, they were just making out, but even I was staring at them like damnnnn y'all is thirsty.
They didn't just act weird; they also looked off. Their eyes looked like crazed dogs with rabies on cocaine, and Victor's neck looked like he got a hickey from a gigantic bat. Plus, they were slightly paler and had pointier ears. I just assumed that they were trying to go for a goth elf couple look, and shrugged it off.
    I found out why they weren't showing up to school when I turned the TV over to the news this morning. Headlines blared:

        BREAKING NEWS:

Police are on the chase for 16 year olds Victor McAllen and Rose Chester, responsible for the murders of Misses and Mister Chester, Adeline McAllen, and her mother. Adeline (as you all know), was the seven year old girl found brutally murdered, a month previous of her mother's and the Chester's. Lock all doors and windows. Watch yourselves and your children. Authorities are doing all they can to catch this modern day Bonnie-and-Clyde duo.

Well, I'll be damned; this story is just getting better and better!
