Flashback

William's POV

I was looking at Zara's pictures on my tab when I felt someone behind me. I turned and saw my darling cousin, Kay kay. Her light brown eyes were laced with worry, she was playing with her fingers and I knew that something was up with her.

"See the way you're admiring my best friend. Later you'll be forming hard guy hard guy, small smile that she smiled at you, you've already fallen." She said, giggling. She was holding a bottle of water in her hands. Anyone that knew Kay Kay knew she loved drinking water like a fish, she carried her pink water bottle everywhere she went.

I rolled my ears and bit my lips. "She's actually very pretty, I don't even know how she did it but I think I'm in love with her." I said, biting my lips and zooming in on Zara's picture on my screen.

I suddenly heard Kay Kay laughing and I turned to look at her. "My guy, you're a goner already. Zara has your mumu button, too bad she's not interested in relationships for now. I actually tried putting a word in for you but she just didn't want to agree." She shrugged, putting her water bottle on the chair, in between us.

I dropped my tab on my legs and turned to look at her. "So Kay Kay what's up? I know you didn't come here to hear me rant about my love life." I said, reaching out to hold her hand.

She suddenly started crying. One thing I knew about Kay Kay was the fact that she doesn't cry, at least I had never seen her crying. So I knew that what ever was making her cry should be a serious thing. Her fair skin had already turned pink, she used her hands to clean her eyes.

"I'm in trouble Willie and I'm scared." Another thing, only Kay Kay called me Willie. I squeezed her hand and urged her to go on.

"For weeks now, I've been receiving threats from an unknown person. I don't know what to do, this person has been making things hard for me. It's almost as if she's everywhere and I've tried everything to make the person leave me alone." She paused, looking at me to see my expression. As if satisfied with what she was seeing, she continued.

"I think I know who's doing this but I'm down to just two people that I think are responsible. Everything about them have been suspicious."

"Who are these two people and how do we confirm that they're the ones." I finally replied after I found my voice.

Present day.

Zara's POV

I was on my bed, I had just finished my hygiene and I was sitted with my tab on my hands. I felt the water I poured on my hair drip down my back, I wiped the drop that were about entering my eyes away.

I knew the next day at school will be on fire. School had really been boring these past few days but now they have something to gist about, the picture of the kiss William and I shared.

I lifted my eyes from my tab and looked at Angela, she was lying down on her bed. Her eyes were closed and she had a small smile on her lips. I was tempted to take her tab and check to see if she was the one sending us the threats because everything will make sense.

I switched off my tab and then laid down on my bed with my body facing the wall. I tried sleeping but nothing was working. I kept turning and tossing, I didn't know when I finally slept off.

I heard the door opening but I didn't pay attention to it, I suddenly started hearing footsteps. I opened my eyes a little bit to see what was happening. I saw a figure wearing black and an overall, the figure was tall with an approximate height of 6ft at least.

The light got in through the small opening made by the door. I turned my head slowly to the direction of Angela and she was sleeping peacefully. The figure came closer to where I was and took my pillow from under my head and put it on my face.

I began to struggle, scratching the hands of the person, my screams we're muffled and I didn't know if Angela heard me but soon the force I was feeling on my face was gone. I removed the pillow and saw Angela holding her tennis bat. The person fled as soon as she hit him.

I suddenly started shivering, my head was banging and I didn't know when I started crying, cuddling my pillow. Angela looked really confused and I knew she wasn't sure if she should cry with me or comfort me.

If not for her, maybe I would be another dead body in RVHS, another case they would have tried to cover up because of their image. I suddenly thought about my mom and how she would feel if I just suddenly died or my little sister, Hannah.

She held me and we stayed that way till the day became bright enough and we went to do our hygiene. I cleaned the injury I obtained last night and I looked at the mirror in our bathroom and saw big eye bags under my eyes, my eyes were swollen and I didn't know how to hide them. I left the bathroom and went through my drawer and brought out my glasses. I hadn't worn it in a long while.

I walked to my class while hearing whispers of people along the hallway. I was actually un-bothered about what any of them had to say but somehow I still cared. I got into my class and walked to my chair to get ready for the day.

"Hey, Zara! How are you? I missed these glasses oh." Ziora asked, sitting on my table while her sister stood beside me with one hand on her waist and the other on the head of my chair.

"I'm not fine at all. There's a problem guys, someone attacked me last night." I whispered, looking round the class to see if anyone was listening to what I was saying. Derin was yet to come to school but I knew she would soon be in the class.

"What do you mean someone attacked you?" Zikora asked, changing her posture to face me.

"I was on my bed last night, trying to sleep when a figure got into my room. Next thing I knew, a pillow was on my face. Whoever it was, was trying to kill me and it's not even funny at all." I said the last part, holding my chest. My chest was beating so fast and I knew I had to calm down to avoid another panic attack.

"So they're coming to our rooms now? We aren't safe at all. This is all just messed up." I nodded as Ziora said.

I looked up and saw Derin entering the class, she smiled immediately she saw us and walked to my chair.

"Hey guys, what's up? How's everyone doing? What's with the new look Zara?" She asked, dropping her things on the nearby desk.

I was about to answer when Mide, Kay Kay's ex stopped at my desk and smiled at us.

"What's up girls? I saw your picture with William Zara, who would have thought?" I scowled at him and turned to look outside the window.

"Your hand is bleeding, what happened to it?" Zikora asked, pointing towards Mide's hands.

I looked at him and he looked really unsettled. He didn't even wait to reply before walking away, speedily. I watched him walk out through the door and then I shrugged.

"That was weird." Derin said.

"Talk about weird, I saw Anita talking to Angela this morning. Their conversation looked so interesting, I wanted to join in." Derin said and we all giggled.

That was when everything clicked.

"Oh my God!" I stood up from my chair.

"What's wrong?" They said simultaneously,looking at me.

"I think I know who killed Kay Kay guys." I said, removing the glasses from my eyes and dropping them on the table.
