Marino's Heir

Chapter 17

I turned the phone off and held the edge of the balcony with both hands. I bit my lower lip, holding any tears that were about to fall. I looked at the view in front of me. "Everything will be ok, right? Even if you're dead.... I'm not alone, right?" I said, looking at the sky. "I'm sorry..." I closed my eyes and put my hands on my face. I felt sad and hurt. I'll miss him, it's my fault.

But suddenly, instead of feeling sad, those thoughts were gone.
No, It's not my fault. Whoever put the bomb in my bag... Wanted to kill me. This means someone knows about us. Enzo saved us. His death won't go on just like that. It was meant to be me. The only way is to know who caused this. Who killed him. It wasn't me! I won't blame myself! I'll blame the one who touched my bag! The only way is to get revenge from the mistaken bastard who thought he could kill me.

Sadness was gone.
All I felt was anger.

At School:---
We entered the school road and like last time, everyone looked at us. But this time, not with surprised eyes, they didn't stare at us like wow. They had sadness in their eyes. Most of them looked at the ground. Others holding candles. I noticed they followed us into the parking lot.
"They know about him..." Natasha said sadness in her voice. "News spread fast in here, hm?" I said, looking at the window with an eyebrow raised. "Yeah... How are you?" Ryder said and asked after sighing. I looked at him while opening the car door. "I'm fine, Ryder." I said firmly and got out. They got out as soon as I did. When I turned around, I stopped walking.
They had his photos everywhere with a RIP and flowers. Girls were crying. Boys looked at the ground. Most were wearing black. I figured they were his friends.
I took a deep breath. This day is going to be tough. I thought as I walked between everyone with the others. I stopped in the middle. His photos were on the board, and anyone passed by and would put a flower on the table underneath the board.
I looked down. Holding a flower that was beside a photo of him.

 Everybody knows. It's probably spread all over the news. But what did they say? How did he die? Or how was he there when that explosion happened? Wouldn't they wonder that?

"YOU!!" I turned to the shouting, furious I became when I saw a girl walking fast towards me with her finger pointed at me, her face was full of tears and she looked angry.
"IT WAS YOU!!!" She screamed, pushing me when she reached me. Ryder held my arms before I fell. High heels aren't helping. "HEY!" Ryder shouted at her. His hold strong around my arms. I moved away from him, putting my hand in front of him and nodding. I can deal with it, is what I meant.

"Can I help you with something?" I said, crossing my arms, giving a straight, serious face. "IT WAS YOU! YOU WERE THE LAST ONE LEAVING WITH HIM!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!!!"
Everyone gathered in a circle around us. I narrowed my eyebrows and tried to control myself.

"First of all, I have a name. And whatever you're talking about is clearly bullshit. You're mistaken with the person. I don't know what you're talking about." I said confidently and remained calm.
"Oh, Oooh, of course! You just show up in the middle of the semester, as a bad bitch, getting all eyes on you and no one even knows your name!! Then you take Enzo with you and now he's dead! No one knows what your intentions are!" She said pointing at me and moving. I rolled my eyes at her then I stopped at a specific face in the crowd behind her. He looked at me with his mouth a bit up forming a small smirk. Marco, was it? He then moved his eyebrow up and moving his eyes to that girl. Then when I looked at her, she opened a water bottle, throwing the water at me. I closed my eyes, standing still, not surprised or any reaction.
"I'm talking to you! Didn't your parents teach you to look at others when they're talking to you?!" She said and when I opened my eyes slowly looking at her with a death stare. Two mistakes at once. This girl has a death wish. If only she knew what I could do to her. She wouldn't even dare to look at me. "Hah...that was a really bad move, girl." Ryder said laughing. "Mymymy run ragazza. Haha.." Jason said. Aurelia clapped, put her hand on her mouth, holding her giggle. Natasha whistled for a second.
The girl looked at them with a confused look and avoiding my angry eyes that were staring daggerd at her.
"If you're planning to cause a fight, then choose someone who is NOT capable of killing you unless you want to die so young." I said, gritting on my teeth. "You better apologize. Hm?" Ryder said, crossing his arms and standing beside me. Then a guy came and held her arm, taking her behind him and standing in front of me. I laughed, taking a tissue out of my bag and drying my face. "Awesome. This is awesome. Can I help you?" I said, then looked at him. He didn't answer me. I rolled my eyes at him. "I expect a 'I'm sorry for throwing water at you' from you, girl." I said, pointing at her behind him. She just looked at me. I looked around us at the people who had their accusing eyes on me. I almost felt guilty, but then I didn't. I had to keep up with the confidence. "What is wrong with you people?! Do you seriously think I did something to him?!!!" I shouted, looking at all of them.
"I know it's you!" The girl spoke again. I looked at her. "This is stupid. I swear I'm wasting my time in here." I said and turned to leave. "Hey!" I heard a guy call out. I turned to whoever it was. "Watch how you talk to her." The guy who was standing beside that girl said. "Hmm..." I hummed, looking down and then moving closer to him. I looked at him. "You all..." I said, looking at him and her then moved my head to all of them. "Watch how you talk to me." I said firmly, then gave them a death stare. "And who are you to think I will?" The girl said. I moved my head and looked at her. "Someone very high in class." I said that and left them. Aurelia and Natasha followed me. The boys stood there, giving them one last look, then followed us.
