Tiptoe Through The Tulips

Five

Auburns P.O.V

The teacher; Mr Evans droned on and on about physics, his monotonous tone of voice causing me to constantly find myself burning holes into the clock with my poisonous stare. I was just waiting for the right moment. To strike.

I had started to think up my master plan ever since the incident with Robin and the nurse this morning. Only two hours have gone past and I've already perfected it, it's so explicitly written that it is completely impossible for me to get caught.

Looking back at the clock, I let myself relax as the merciless hands of time hit the next hour. The time he finishes his break. I shot my hand up excitedly and my irritating physics teacher pointed in my direction, beckoning me to speak. Poor guy; he probably thought that I was finally contributing to the lesson, because I saw the corners of his tightly set mouth lift, filled with sad hopefulness. 

I started to speak, "may I please go to the toilet, I'm having women problems and-"

"Just come and get a toilet pass and go quickly." He said cringing his nose in disturbance. As Mr Evan's regular facial expression returned, I hid my devious smirk with an innocent smile and headed towards the direction of the toilets.

I looked around like I always did, left and right, left and right, left and right. Three times each. You can never be to careful. Once I had made sure there was no one in sight, I turned the corner and crept over to the nurses office. The adrenaline tingled throughout me, rushing through my veins and I was sure I wouldn't be able to hold in the urge any longer.

"It's time Auburn, you've been waiting for this all day. You deserve it". The voice in my head finally spoke; a low growling sound. He rewarded me, anticipating what I was about to do. 

"Oh Chaos, you and me are so alike".

Stopping in front of the nurse's office, I breathed in slowly then opened the door.

I froze as soon as I observed the scene. My darting eyes first noticed Nurse Lanyards, or what was once Nurse Lanyards, but now a bloody mess on the floor. I observed his fresh corpse with interest, only the whites of his eyes could be seen and his darkening red blood was pooled underneath him. I leaned in closer; a crusty and stained tulip lay gracefully on his chest, I picked it up and put it somewhere safe. If anyone was catching this guy, it's gonna be me. 

"Well Sir, I can take a stab at guessing what killed you. Dagger wounds maybe" I said, laughing at my tragic joke. The holes in his grey suit told me of his messy end.

Reevaluating my thoughts I began to panic slightly, because this all meant there was another murderer in the school. My first competition in a long time. 

I frowned in frustration and walked towards the wide open window. Looking out I noticed a figure with electric blue hair climbing up onto the opposite building. I growled, making my hand into a firm fist.

I'll find you.

*EVERYBODY STAY CALM, LINE UP IN SINGLE FILE OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL. THERE HAS BEEN A VERY SERIOUS INCIDENT. I REPEAT PLEASE STAY CALM*

The class erupted in fear and I looked up blankly, noticing the flash of panic on Robin's face. I looked down at my pale balled fists and glanced back up to see Robin burning holes into my creased forehead. What does he want?

"Okay class. Make a straight line and stay calm. Leave your belongings and do not run."

I grabbed my bag and stood beside Robin who instantly bombarded me with questions.

"What could've happened? Oh my gosh what if there's bombings?" Robin asked me. I shrugged my shoulders, pft of course I knew, but I wasn't telling him.

The boy in front of us turned around and adjusted his glasses. "I heard it was a murder. My friend just texted me that a teacher told them. Apparently there was loads of blood." I rolled my eyes tiresomely as Robin gasped.

He looked at me and his dull green eyes widened with fear. Once we got outside the classroom he grabbed my arm and moved me away from the rest of our class. I knew what was coming.

"It was you wasn't it? Oh my god Auburn!"

"I was here the whole time, chill doofus." I stated, waving him off.

"You left to go to the 'toilet'. Enough time to kill someone!" I ignored him and walked back in line, Robin soon followed but I trusted him to keep his mouth shut.

Blue haired boy...I'll find you and destroy you.
