I'll Make You Want To Kill Me

2

What can I say?

I was curious.

He seemed off, I didn't believe him.

I was never a lucky person.
How come I was saved by the charming hero Mr. Williams?

I was intrigued, he was lying, but why?
I thought I could find out the truth behind his sketchy black clothing in the middle of the night, or his surprisingly violent side if I spent time with him.

Stephano was like my own personal experiment.

I had seen a side of him that none of the people he was admired by had seen before.

I felt excited.

I wanted to get to know him.

Just the truth.

But the truth is such a nasty thing to discover.

______________

It was the little things that gave you away, Stephano.

How you would only send me a message when I was home.

How you would remember all those tiny details, no one else would, like what I eat first from my plate, or which cafeteria I buy the most.

How you always knew.

And I couldn't see past them.
I felt more intrigued by you.

I decided to play too.

What was this? I started feeling a little like the mice and you were the cat.
He was so cold when he talked to me, he gave me the chills since the beginning.

He was so nice and warm with everyone.
Everyone loved Stephano.

Why were you different?

I wanted to know.

I found out how impatient you acted when I wouldn't answer.

Such a kid.

I started to ignore him.

That broke him.

"Why are you ignoring me?"

"How do you know I was here?", I said closing my book.

"Answer me first."

"Let's go outside.", I smiled.

He followed me out of the library.

"I'm sorry I've been busy.", I said carelessly.
I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through my feed.

"That's... Not true. Why are you actually ignoring me?"

"I told you why."

"Ivy, what...? Do you think I'm an idiot? I know that's a lie. You have been just hanging out with your stupid classmates the whole week."

How do you know Stephano?

You just make me want to tease you more.

"Yeah, and? Don't you have a girlfriend to be with? Do I have to always answer your messages? Seriously, what's wrong with you? Stop acting like we are something. Don't be weird.", I said.

I loved to push his boundaries.
He had quite a temper. Of course, he would never show this part of him to anyone.
Ah, Stephano was fun to tease.

"What the fuck do you mean?"

"I mean stop demanding things from me when you're not in the position to."

That infuriated Stepheno.

Days later two of my classmates were food poisoned.

I went to see them at the hospital.
They were okay.
