the mask of lies

the end year party

By Maria. .....

"Hey, Maria! Today is the graduation party! Are you looking forward to it !?" "Yes, Aria I'm looking forward to it." "Is Kai going with you?" "Yes. And our plan worked out a bit because he immediately regretted that I started kissing another boy." "Gee! Is he going to kiss you for all of us now?" "No." "Yes, Maria. When the graduation party is then I kiss you. I promise you." And kisses me on the cheek. Hmmm, mmmm his kiss is so soft and sweet. Wait. No, I shouldn't think like that. I have to stay calm. Otherwise, I will be in a 'coma' again.

"Maria, are you okay? I was talking about going downtown ?!" "Yes is doing Aria. But Carmen and Kai will also want to come along." "Okay! Let's go to class." Together I and Aria walk to our classroom. The teacher was not there yet. He's always late. Another 5 minutes and then we have an official outage. "Hello, dear children. How nice that you have waited. Let's go to class now. In the meantime, Julie can choose a buddy for our new project." I look around. And suddenly someone hugs me. "Uh, Kai." "Yes?" "Do you want to do the project with me? I have a bad feeling." "Sure. I'll do anything for you." And together we enter the classroom.

--------- end of lessons

"Maria! Let's go downtown!" "Okay. We'll have to wait for Kai and Aria." "You're quite late, they're coming. Let's go and fast!" She had the latter against Kai and Carmen. It was very quiet on the way to the center. That's nice. Because I like that better. And more fun. "Maria, what have you got? It seems like you are ignoring us on purpose. Kai asked you something but your answers didn't." "Oh really? What did you ask Kai?" "I asked what else you need for the party." "Uh. I haven't said anything honest at all." "Then we'll start at the clothing store." We step into the clothing store and immediately I get clothes shoved into my hands. "Beware! Beware!" So I go into the fitting room. "Maria are you ready?" "I'm done, Kai." I quickly step out of the fitting room and show my clothes. "How do I look?" "I think all guys get jealous when you put on this blue dress and change it a little bit.

----------the party

I didn't feel like coming. But yeah. Now I am in front of the building and have nowhere to go. How stupid. "Maria, you're okay, aren't you? Are you hungry or something?" Kai looks at me not understanding. I already worried him completely this day. Every time I am somewhere else. I do things against my will. "Kai, what does a mask mean?" "I'll tell you when we get home okay?" "Brother. We won't be home. Because we're having a party at that book writer tomorrow night. Remember?" "Oh yes. Maria do you want to go too?" "Okay. I don't want to stay at home alone." And embrace his arm. Together we enter the party room. It is already very busy. Not that many people are dancing. That's because the guys put on stupid music. They don't even let a song go off properly. It's also warm and the food on the tables is quite delicious. I quickly grab an apple and bite into it. Nice and juicy. Lekkeeeeeer. Bite. "Hey! Don't bite my apple!" "Maria. Don't you even want to give me a bite?" And I look straight into Aria's eyes. "Oops. Sorry I didn't see you." I also quickly take a bite of my apple. "Kai is dancing with other girls." "Yes, I know. I'm sorry. I told him I don't want to dance. And that he can dance with other girls. But I want him to dance with me alone. What?" "You said so much. We have to celebrate that." Should we celebrate that? "N ... well okay, the day after tomorrow." "Good. I'm going to tell Kai and Carmen!"

---------- almost end of the party.

* bonk *

What was that? "Aaaaaah!" Why is someone yelling? "Maria. Come on. We have to go." Kai is concerned. Why? "Brother, an ambulance is coming." "Okay. We have to get Maria to safety." And run away through the exit with me. Only now does it get through me. Someone is bleeding. I stop running and sniff again. Yes, someone is bleeding. It smells so sweet. I want to taste it. Suddenly goes through my mind. And turn around. "Maria. Stop. It's too dangerous. Come on." Kai tries his best to pull me along but to no avail. "I want that blood!" "I know. Come on." He turns me around with all his muscles so that I look at him. "Drink my blood. But let's get into the car first." We quickly walk into the car. He takes off his blouse. "Drink." But before I can even get close to his neck, Carmen enters the car. "Brother, more people got hurt. We gotta get out of here now!" Kai quickly turns to the wheel and drives off the school grounds. Home. "Kai I'm thirsty." "When we get home you can have a drink." "Kai, it hurts!" "Brother. She can't drink your blood. We still have to go to that party! She can also just drink blood pills." "No, I do not want that!" "Maria, quietly. Nobody should hear us. And Carmen. She's too thirsty to just drink blood pills."

-------------at home...

By Kai .......

"We have to go now!" "Kai, I'm thirsty." "Maria, wait until we get there. We will get our room and you can quench your thirst there." "Okay." "Brother wait. I'm almost there." My sister comes running with a giant suitcase. "Why all that?" "There are three courses. One for me. One for you. And one for Mary. Because we will stay there for 4 days." I quickly lower everything into the trunk and start the engine. "Maria, you need to get some sleep. When we get there I'll wake you up." She quickly closes her eyes and sleeps. I turn on the radio softly. And immediately regret it. "Jeeej! Ed Sheeran! He's so cool!" "Shhh! Maria is sleeping. And why aren't you sleeping too ?!" "You scream too. But okay. Wake me up when we get there." And Carmen also slowly falls asleep. Now I'm the only one awake. The engine noise is the only one that keeps me company.

After three hours, the building is already looming in the distance. We are almost there. "Maria, Carmen, wake up. We're almost there." "Kai, I'm thirsty." "We're almost there Maria." "We're almost there! We're almost there! But not quite yet!" "Carmen softly." We stop in front of the gate and get out.
