One of us is the killer

Chapter 3

Kinsley

Saturday, June 25th

I was laying in my bed when my mom came in. She knocked on the door and invited herself in not even waiting for a "cmon in". She looked around the filthy room I haven't cleaned since my brother Jack took his life. With a sigh, she stepped in and took a seat near the edge of my bed.

I glanced at her and turned my back on her. I was not ready for the same ole talk. "Kinnie you gotta go out of your room and clean I know it's hard to cope with your little brother's death but you have to stop this". I anxiously waited for her to start saying something but this time she said something I would never think she would. "Hey, wonderful so I have been talking to Jude's mom you know Jude? She goes to your school?".

She says while tightly squeezing my foot. I only nod back to avoid speaking nor looking at her in case she forces me to do something. "well she is having her 18th birthday and since I know her mother I thought if you could go, besides she even invited you?". Now I turn back to face her I look at her with knitted eyebrows. I couldn't believe she did that, she knows I have a tough time it's not like her kid died since she's my stepmom.

"No, Linda I'm not going nor leaving my bed now let me be". I muttered. She once again sighs but this time she follows it with a disappointed head shake. She's out of her mind if she thinks I'm going to a high school party filled with people I don't even like then she's wrong. "please just for me and then I'll let you be for how long you want, just do this for me and your dad your dad has it enough griefing over his son and now he's concerned about your well being". She says with sadness in her eyes.

I nibble on my bottom lip and breathe out a big breath. "Ok I'll go but I'm just gonna be there for one hour only not more". She claps her hands like a three-year-old who just discovered where the cotton candy place is.

I get up from my bed and got into the toilet to take a quick shower. After that, I put on the nicest outfit I had which was a black bodycon. This is so out of my comfort zone I think to myself. I don't do much with my hair I just let the hair lay on my shoulders and got out to my car and drove to the party.

Octavius

Saturday, June 25th

I just got out of my shower and walked into my bedroom to find the outfit I would put on for the night. It's going to be fun going to Jude's party, I've had a crush on her since middle school. I remember the first time I saw her, she had on a blue dress with piggy tails running around the schoolyard laughing. Since that day I've kind of had a crush on her.

She has always been nice to everyone including Calla. She was the "mean" girl in our school always. Bullying the Kinsley girl or other people for their appearance or their past.  I didn't like that but never say never right? I mentally say to myself. Lastly spraying the Dior perfume I take my car keys from the kitchen island and head towards the door. I climb into my car and start driving to Jude's party I know by heart.

They all arrived at the party with different facial expressions. When all of them walked into the party they were immediately sworn by students from every angle with red cups. Kinsley gets pushed into a wall behind her. She looks uneasily around and gets off the wall. the other three gracefully walk into the kitchen to grab themselves a red cup filled with beer.  The party goes on and the music is blasting out loud.

Dakota went into the living room and sat down on the sofa with his alcohol contained cup. He looked around while taking short but steady sips from his cup. The party was nothing like he imagined his thought there was going to be a wild drinking game or other games. but no all of the kids were dancing, eating, vomiting, or hooking up with other people. Octavius stood in a corner with Jude and they both were laughing and talking. it almost looked like he was trying to kiss her, but she would dodge the sign every single time. Dakota that saw the whole situation fold in front of him scoffed and continued drinking. 

"Kinnie over here!" Jude screams over the livingroom now everybody is in. She waves at her to come, but Kinsley looks a little hesitant about it all but still decides to walk to her. When she gets to Jude and Octavius she anxiously tugs down on her dress. Jude calls after every one to gather in the living room to play truth or dare.

everybody sat in a ring and looked around taking in the unfamiliar faces. "alright who's going to begin?" Jude asks while leaning on Octavius. A blonde girl answers and the questions goes directly to the unwanted. Dakota Williams. "truth or dare Williams". She says while fighting off a smirk well knowing, either way, she was going to pick tough subjects. "Dare". He says nonchalantly. She thinks about the dare she will personally give him when her eyes find the prey, she smiles and says "go up to Kinsley or should I say they weirdo and give her a kiss". Dakota gave her a look and kept his eyes locked with hers he got up dusted off his jeans and straightly walked to Kinsley.

She kept looking down while playing with her bracelet trying to avoid the kiss. But the luck wasn't on her side like always the moment she thought he wouldn't was when he took a hold of her chin and gave an intensive look and leaned in for the kiss. She couldn't believe it the first time a guy even came near here let alone kissed her. Maybe the time stopped when his lips met hers, but the flutter only intensified. Kinsley thanked god that she was already sitting down because her knees got weaker. Her heart was pounding she could only focus on how soft he felt against her mouth, and how addictively he invaded all her senses.

She couldn't believe if this was a dream but there was raw emotion in the way his fingers curled around her hair. Dakota ket his eyes half-open just to make sure this wasn't a product of his imaginations. The warm feeling of her warm breath although destabilizing was inviting. This time around his arms sneaked down her small figure and draped his arms around Kinsley.

After what felt like hours she let go and gave him a light push back, he took the sign and got back to his place next to a guy. Dakota didn't catch her wiping her mouth or her red cheeks. He was in his own dream.
