Cold Blooded Killer

Chapter 1: The Murder

I woke up to a normal day, or did I? The question lingered in my head years after. I got dressed and went to school, only to be confronted by police tape.
"What's going on?" I asked my best friend, Shelby.
"A murder," she replied with a look of terror. How'd she know it was a murder?
I looked past the tape, nothing unusual. The murder must've taken place inside the school. I ducked under the police tape, but Shelby yelled after me,"What are you doing!?"
"Checking out the scene!" I yelled back, aware of the trouble I could get in.
I silently crept through the school, I was going to check my classroom first. My instincts were right, the murder had taken place in my classroom. It was one of my classmates. In the classroom was the lifeless, bloody body of Kannon.
I gasped in shock. I'd never really liked him, but I never wanted him dead! (Or did I?) Then, an investigator came up behind me.
"What are you doing here, child?" they asked.
"I was checking out the um... crime scene," I replied.
"Poor child, you weren't supposed to be here. Should we take you to rehab or something?"
It was actually kind of hilarious, how she'd reacted. She'd thought I was traumatized!
"No, um... you see... he's dead... he was murdered... and um... the murder... he's um... still here and..."
"How did you know he was murdered?"
"Well, I know he was crazy, but he'd never kill himself."
"Ah, well don't worry then, we'll handle this. Now go!"
I left the building and quietly snuck back to the group.
"Shelby," I whispered.
"Are you insane!?" she half-shouted half-whispered,"You could've been in serious trouble!"
"That's not important right now! I just found out who got murdered!"
"Who would that be?"
"Kannon was murdered!"
"What!?"
"Excuse me ladies," Brayden said as he and Walker walked over,"but I couldn't help overhearing your conversation."
"That's because you eavesdropped," I growled.
"Well, I think we'd make a wonderful team."
"Why would you even think if that!?"
I looked at the evil grin on his face.
"You're doing it to annoy me, aren't you?"
"Exactly."
"Then, n-"
"Hold on, Jessica," Shelby said,"Those two are geniuses, like you. Together we could solve this mystery."
"Oh alright. Wait, why haven't you said anyhting, Walker?"
"I don't want to get caught in the crossfire," he replied, laughing.
"Fair enough."
"So," Brayden said,"it's a deal?"
"Alright," I replied"but just know, Brayden, that if the murderer doesn't get you, I will."
