Secrets

Thirteen

I kept running through the hallway panting while trying to breathe. I looked back at the dark hallway to see if anyone was coming after me. Who am I kidding? I couldn't even see where I was going, talk more of where I was coming from. My hands were on the walls of the hallway, I had no idea where I was going to.

What was I even doing there and what is this place? I suddenly started hearing voices. I stopped running immediately and tried to steady my breathing. I walked slowly and carefully to where the voices were coming from and that was when I saw them. I found them! They were all wearing hoods with their heads down. I couldn't contain my excitement and I suddenly giggled, making them turn to look at me.

"Oh oh" I said, turning to run but my legs wouldn't move. They were closing in on me and my legs still refused to make themselves useful. One of them soon held me and the others soon reached where I was.

"So you're the girl giving us trouble huh? I'll advice you to stay away and warn your little friends too." The person I assumed was the leader spoke. The voice sounded very familiar but I couldn't place my hands where I had heard it before.

"Zara! Zara! Wake up!" I opened my eyes to see Angela standing by my bedside. "Is something wrong? You're sweating like you just ran a marathon." She said, going to her bed.

"You have no idea." I muttered and got up to use the restroom. I washed my face, my mouth and walked to my wardrobe to get my day wear for evening prep and dinner.

We left our room for prep. I kept contemplating if I should tell the girls about my dream or not. We both sat down at our spot and started reading. I couldn't believe it was almost test week and I hadn't even concentrated enough to finish what I was supposed to read before the test was over.

I tried my best to understand what I was reading while the thought of the cult kept coming to my mind. Prep was soon over and it was time for recreation and I went to look for the girls.

I knew a lot would be going through their minds and telling them about the dream will only make them panic and that wasn't what I wanted for now.

I was walking to our spot when someone held my waist. I knew it was Will because I count smell his cologne. He smelled so good that I almost wanted to put my nose on his chest and breathe him in.

Snap out of it Zara. I suddenly remembered I was mad at him. I turned to look at him, smiling at me.

"I've been looking for you everywhere. Someone would actually think you're avoiding me." He said, holding my hand.

I scoffed and took my hand back. "I saw you and Glory today." I said, walking away.

"Wow Zara, I can explain. It's actually not what you think." I stopped when he said that.

"That's the thing William, I'm not thinking at all at this moment. Just leave me alone." I shook my head and turned to leave again.

"Can you just listen to me for a minute! You enjoy playing this cat and mouse game don't you? You want to do this thing where you won't talk to me a weeks right? How long do you want me to keep chasing you? Aren't you tired? I'm trying so hard to keep up with you and you're not making it easy for me! Damn it! What happened between Glory and I was a dare okay? Nothing serious." He paused to see my expression and when he didn't get it, he ran his hands through his hair.

"I'm getting tired of you treating me like I don't matter. When you're ready to treat me better, you know where to find me." He said, walking away. At this point, I knew I messed up.

William has never acted like that to me before. I guess when you bottle things up too much, you will definitely explode one day. I couldn't believe I made William mad at me, just wow.

I leaned against the wall and tried to hold back the tears that were in my eyes. I didn't even know what was happening with me, everything was falling apart. I just didn't know what to feel or do anymore. I didn't know where to go from where I was. I had no idea where I was going to before I met William.

I suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded and then I blacked out.

Derin's POV

I think I know who killed Kay Kay.

That was all I could think about. Who killed Kay Kay? And who is doing this to us? Hope Wendy is okay? My head was spinning and I didn't like it one bit.

I stood up from my bed to go look for the twins and Zara. Everything was so messed up and no one knew what to do. The one week we were given was almost over and we weren't even close to solving the case we were given. I took my tab from underneath my pillow.

I wore my slippers and left my room to our spot. I got inside and saw only the twins sitting on Kay Kay's bed. Zara was not there yet.

"Where's Zara?" I asked, looking at Ziora.

"We don't know. We thought she would be with you or something." Zikora replied instead.

I walked to my chair, opening the tab while sitting down and trying to fix a few things.

I cleared my throat and turned to look at the twins. As if on cue, they both turned to look at me.

"Do you guys think Anita is mixed up in all these?" I asked, biting my lips.

"Truth is, we don't know anymore. Things have been happening, we don't know what to believe right now. But we'll keep our eyes on her." Zikora nodded as her sister spoke.

"I just find it strange you know? Now that I think about it, she has been asking us questions concerning Kay Kay and you guys. It's almost as if she wants to know every single thing and it was becoming stressful." Zikora said.

"You guys shouldn't let her know you suspect her though. Still reply her like before but with less information, she doesn't deserve to know everything. Let's know where our problems are coming from." I said and the room was suddenly quiet again.

I opened the cameras on my phone and was going through everything and every part of the school. I suddenly saw someone on the floor, lying down. I zoomed in and saw Zara's face.

I gasped. "Oh my God! Guys, Zara is in trouble." The twins suddenly ran towards me.

"I think she had her panic attack again. Where's she?" Ziora asked and I quickly recognized the place she was.

I took my tab and stood up from the chair. I tried opening the door but it wasn't opening. I tried again and nothing happened.

"Someone locked us in." Ziora said, putting her hands on her head. "Won't they stop already? I'm getting tired!" She said, kicking the foot of the bed.

Hey! How's quarantine going guys?? I just wanted to drop this one here.
