How did Serene Berry die in her sleep? Did she take a dangerous substance? Or….. Was a spell casted on her?
Did she fight with someone and was strangled on the bed?
Is it her roommate who did it?
What about her boyfriend?
They did take a break. Did they fight?
Fina twirled her black noodles with her chopstick as she became so deep in thought about Serene's death.
Serene didn't die in her sleep. It wasn't her roommate neither was it her boyfriend. It was her.
She killed Serene.
Two deaths.
The Gemini student and Serene.
Who's the third?
Sacrifice are made for the book.
What if the book isn't found with the third victim?
Should there even be a third victim?
Who's the third victim? Or person?
Fina swallowed hard.
"The same way we killed her!"
Who is she?
Fina looked around the Cafeteria. Everyone was whispering. Serene's death had being a shock.
To all. Except one person.
One murderer.
Which brought her to her question again.
Who's the third?
A cold shiver ran through her and her gaze landed on Bryce.
As if by touch, his gaze fell on her.
Fina quickly looked away with a blush.
Bryce was really handsome. Smart. Intelligent. And a natural.
He's a bit reserved except with his friends.
And…
Fina shook her head.
She should focus on Serene not Bryce.
Serene last words to her was to not give up.
If Serene knew about them searching for the book, then, someone else knows.
The female voice?
Her gaze switched to Xavier.
He was reading his book but Fina had a feeling he is in deep thought too.
Xavier have always been calm. He talks whenever he wanted. He's nice, not playful and very, very quiet.
Xavier slowly lifted his head like he knew someone was watching him but Fina quickly looked away before he could catch her looking.
Darkness descended over her suddenly and her mind flashed to her dreams. Everyone of them flashed through her eyes.
Someone was covering her eyes. Fina sat very still, unmoving.
She slowly touched the hand covering her eyes and removed it, turning to see Tyrell who was beaming at her.
She didn't returned the smile which made Tyrell frown.
"Is everything okay?" Tyrell asked
Fina came crashing down to reality at once and gave Tyrell a small smile.
"Yes. Just wondering" She replied
She turned to see Shelly and Zo staring at their food. Shelly had been strangely quiet since after the news of Serene Berry's death as if she is just figuring out that death was real.
Tyrell took a seat beside Fina opposite Shelly and Zo.
"About?" He asked, looking at Fina.
"Girls stuffs" Shelly said
Tyrell looked at her.
"Really? I had say you are worried about Serene Berry's death"
"I'm not a friend of Berry. Her death is her problem" Shelly said shakily.
"Really?" Tyrell asked with a smirk. "I had say that's a lie"
"I'd say it's not your business" Shelly retorted, suddenly feeling angry.
Tyrell smirk turned into a smile.
"Isn't it? What if it's my business? Everyone's mourning" Tyrell said
Shelly snorted.
"More like in mystery." Shelly said
"What's it to you? You are getting all riled up" Tyrell said
"I am definitely not. Besides, what's it to you?"
Fina watched them with confusion.
Shelly looked angry yet calm. Tyrell looked playful, teasingly.
"It's something because she's a good student." Tyrell replied
Shelly cocked a brow at him.
"Really? I didn't know you were close with Serene Berry"
"What's going on here?"
They all turned to see Jessica Young walking towards them.
Tyrell raised a questioning eyebrow at her.
Fina observed every movements and she couldn't help but feel that something was definitely wrong here.
"I came to talk to Fin." Tyrell said
"Don't call her that. Clark, tell him not to call you that" Shelly said
Tyrell chuckled.
"Seriously, Jefferson. You are not even friends with Berry, what's your problem?" Tyrell asked, voice high, turning heads towards them.
Lots of head.
"What's my problem?" Shelly asked, voice louder. "What's my problem? Oh, I'll tell you my problem. You. Just. Wait"
Zo kept swallowing, trying to calm herself.
Tyrell and Jessica turned to Shelly.
"You are rude." Jessica said
"Ex-what the - scuse me?" Shelly said "It's just like looking at the mirror, isn't it?"
Gasps were heard everywhere.
"The way you are behaving… You killed Serene. It's just so obvious. Why didn't I see this before?"
Silence everywhere.
"I'd appreciate if you do not speak harshly to Shelly Jefferson like that." Fina said, ice dripping in every words.
She looked up at Jessica Young.
"For all I know, you can be the murderer too. Anyone can. Someone who's watching us right now. Who's sitting with us. Who knew us. If you don't have evidence about a victims death, and are accusing, you are dangerous yourself." Fina said "And who said Serene was killed? I thought she died in her sleep."
Jessica looked dangerously calm.
"You are right. Anyone can. I thought someone killed Serene. I do not think she died in her sleep. Who could it be?" Jessica asked, looking straight at Fina.
"That's what I wanted to ask you. Who. Could. It. Be?" Fina asked, pointing out the words.
The girls stared at each other with unflinching gaze.
The air was extremely tense.
