Different

Chapter 31

I sit on my bed looking at the diary. Part of me is guilty because Sara never wanted anyone to read her journal diary, but a bigger part of me knows that if I want to learn something about Sara, reading her diary is probably the only way. Considering she's dead!

Finally, after some deep breathing, I open the black-covered notebook.

Diary Entry

This is the only safe place I can actually write stuff in. From the fact which I'm not from a normal family, and I hate my messed up life to the fact that I can never let anyone know my true identity. Anyway, it is what it is. Today was a good day! Not only I successfully started school; I also start to make some friends. I want to be normal. One of my teachers asked me where my parents are and that what happened to them. I lied as planned. I told her that my parents died in an accident. It would be nice if they actually did, but the reality is that they are very much alive. I will have two different lives. With my parents in it and one without them! Oh well, I tell you, my dearest journal. I'm not a murderer even though my parents believe that I am.

Avar

What? So everything that I knew about Sara was based on a lie! Her parents are alive! Even though I'm so pissed off now by only reading one entry I decide to keep reading.

Diary Entry

Dear diary,
Today was absolute hell. I found my target, Max, he's quite different from others. He's truly a mysterious guy. He lives with his parents or that's what he believes so! When I was told to get close to him, I didn't get the reason. However, I didn't ask. I want to have a normal life, a life in which I am not the biggest jerk in North America's daughter. The one that I am like other people. Not the one that I have to lie about her parents every single day and hours. I mean it was fun at first, to know that my family is unusual. I need to kill people. I'm no murderer. I mean I'm sure that if I ever go to kill someone I actually could get myself killed. I don't understand myself right now. Whatever. Today was absolute hell because I almost kill someone, but as I said I am no murderer even if that's who I "meant to be".

Avar

So wait! Who are her parents! I turn to the next page and start to read.

Diary Entry

How I wish I wasn't in high school I am now! There's this one girl that has just attended the school I go to. Her name is Avar. I told my parents about, and I snapped some pictures of her, (creepy I know, but I got to do what I got to do) she looks identical to the next person my mom and her parents are looking. In fact, my mom and told me that she's the one. I just gotta keep an eye on both Avar and Max. Uncle Jason and aunt Jess have told me that Avar and Max are in fact, siblings. Avar has a huge crush on Max...

Avar

So Sara's been also using the things that I told her as secret against myself. What the hell! Shit, I just want to read more. I know I should probably hand this diary to my mentor, but I just can't know he won't let me investigate this case because it's about my personal life which means I could be the criminal too. Let's just continue reading.

Diary Entry

It kinda sucks when you develop feelings for the person you've been assigned to kill! I mean who am I kidding! I hate killing especially killing those I have feelings for! I don't get it how can some people such as my parents, kill people easily! Wth is wrong, just because. Ok, you know what? I'm going to tell them that I'm not going to kill her. I'm going to protect her even if she'd think it's the other way around. She doesn't need to know. I'm so glad I have you, diary.

Avar

This is just sick. How did this happen! Who was Sara ugh.

Diary Entry

A new day, a new case. Mom has asked the boss, Jason to put me in a different assignment. Not that I would kill Avar or anyone really. Today I met Jason. The Jason, he's basically Godfather. Also my uncle, but because of his status, I don't see him often. He told me that I need to forget about Avar and let her be. Of course, I can't really do that. I love her. I don't even know what love is! I mean mom was never really here for me. Sometimes I wish I was in that car with dad. That way I'd be gone too, but then this may be just a game for Jason he doesn't care if he hurts anyone, and mom is no exception. I wish things weren't like this. Still new day new case!

Avar

I scratch the back of my neck before throwing the notebook down. Did Sara want to tell me this at some point? I hear a knock "Avar, what's going on" it was my brother with a concerned voice asking me from the other side of the door.
"Yea" I whisper not knowing what to think. It's funny one minute you think you learn everything and you have everything under control, the next you have no clue what is going on. "Can I come in?" He asks after a long silence. I don't answer, not before he suddenly opens the door.

"You've been here since we get back," he says. How ironic! Now he's the curious one, and I'm the one who wants to settle down.

"I don't want to continue my search. Every time I find something that blows everything away," I look at him seeing him starting to talk probably giving me some pep talk. "Don't," I say just when he is about to say something. "It's best not to know, she played with us. God forbid she could have been our cousin," just saying it makes me sick In the stomach.

"How do you..."

"don't ask!" I replied before he finished. He probably wanted to ask me how I know or guess such a thing because base on what she told everyone her parents died in a car accident. I'd call that all bullshit. Maybe her father died.

"Wait, what's that?" He suddenly asked pointing to the blacked-cover notebook.

"Her," I look at the floor before continuing. "her diary,"

"Cool, can I read it," he says as he picks it up.

"No,"

"I think you are just scared. It can't be that bad!" Right if only you knew. I look away before he opens the notebook...
