Chapter 11:Her mind wheels
The next morning, everyone was chatting away happily at the game. The ones that 'died' were also in a different place and we're watching what was going on. It was a very exciting experience. The announcement came again, telling the students to vote three people before evening.
It was breakfast time and everyone gathered at the cafeteria. Kyle wasn't with Ava this time as he was with his male companions. Kaitlyn came to sit beside Ava and Daisy also joined them.
"Morning Ava" Kaitlyn greeted with her usual friendly smile.
"Morning".
"This game is a hit. CC is the best", Daisy said with a mouth full of food.
The monotonous voice came again. "Last night, three people were killed by the Mafia".
Everyone gasped. The three girls looked at each other. "I'm so grateful that this is a game. Imagine if it was real", Daisy said her face rumpling with fear.
"I know right. You can kill the wrong people", Ava said.
"That's why it's a game. It can never be real. Unless someone makes it real", Kaitlyn said .
"I wonder where they kept the others"
"Kyle isn't here?", Kaitlyn asked.
"Isn't that obvious? He's not ", Daisy said.
"I'm really envious of your friendship with Kyle. It's hard not to fall for a guy like him", Kaitlyn said while looking at her food, her face filled with innocence.
" Like seriously Ava, you're a genius. All the girls on campus are head over heels in love with him but you...tsk tsk tsk".
"What's there to fall for? Nothing ", she said dumping some food in her mouth. She hated this kind of topics all thanks to Kaitlyn.
"There's a lot to fall for. Those eyes, nose mouth...oh my god", Daisy said her eyes dreamy.
Ava stood up with her tray in hand as she walked to the counter to keep it. Daisy and Kaitlyn looked at each other with furrowed brows. They hadn't said anything wrong.
Ava didn't want to witness that sight. Girls loved him. It wasn't bad if she was one of them right??
After breakfast, the students were kept busy in the movie room, as they watched a thriller movie, "night has come", which was a Korean series. While everyone was at it, someone sneaked out to get somethings done.
Soon, it was the fourth day of the game. The citizens were already murdered in bulk while so little of the mafias were dead. At some point, the doctor used their power to heal three of the citizens. The game was nearing its end.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, Kaitlyn sat at the rooftop with a book in her hand. Her face was filled with a peculiar smile as she turned each page. It was about to go down, she thought in her mind.
Soon, it was Sunday again, the day of their departure. Everyone was excited. The citizens won the game when there was already a few of them left. Kyle and Ava was among the survivors while Kaitlyn died. She was a Mafia. Those who had 'died', came back to life the previous night after the mafias were killed. A party was held that night to celebrate the survival game.
That morning of Sunday, while Ava was packing, she noticed that one if her items was missing. She asked her roomies but they said they hadn't seen it. She walked down the hallway, looking blue. Kaitlyn saw her and walked up to her.
"Are you ok queen?"
"Yeah I'm", she said feigning a smile. "I just lost one of my items. A book".
"Oh... Have you told Kyle about it?"
"No. Don't bother him".
Kaitlyn arched a brow. "He's your best friend. He could be of help".
"No need to disturb him".
She left Kaitlyn and walked away. Kaitlyn gave her an intense stare before typing something on her cellphone.
Ava had just left Daisy's room when a text came into her phone.
Come up to the rooftop. You lost a diary
