"Is revenge a science, or an art? "

※※※※※※

 
I went to school early to find Amari, I need to talk to her. I needed an answer about my weird dream and why the hell her doll showed up last night at my place?

I ran, walked. Panting because of tiredness along with the loud thumping of my heart. I reach the room and when I get in. I saw one of my classmate sleeping at his desk. It's a surprise for me because he is OFTEN late or exactly coming at 7:00 am. He is alone inside the room but I saw some bags of my classmates there.

I snort and approach my chair quietly making sure not to wake up Suga who was asleep. I am about to put down my bag when I saw notes and some drawings on my desk. I accidentally let go of my bag and book that created a loud thud sound. I covered my mouth and tried to inspect the notes.

"I Wrath,"

"I Death"

"I Agony"

"I Revenge"

"I Enmity"

"I Vengeance"

"I Save not"

I stroke my eyebrows as I recited all of those words. Who the hell wrote all of this on the arm chair? I also cannot define the drawings. They look like some kind of animals, a wolf, dog, bear?  Therefore, who was the I? Is this another clue? is he the one who curse us? The one who killed Sally and Jin?

I was startled when I heard someone spoke beside me. 

"You should pick up your things first before day dream."

It was Suga, he carried my books and handed it to me. I get it from him then he yawn and turn his back but I stopped him.

"Hey, Suga."

He turned to me with confused look. Well, this is the first time I talk to him since the first day of class. 

"Do you have any idea who wrote down this on my desk?"

He rolled his eyes to the ceiling and think for a moment before he answer.

"Well, when I came here. I saw Amari, Imani and Cjay here in the room. But, I did not see any of them write on your desk and they also all get out since it's still early."

Oh! So Amari was here already. I need to look for her.

"Then, why are you so early?"

He click his tongue and tilt his head."None of your business."

He turned away from me and get back to seat and bow his head on the armchair to sleep again, I guess. I quickly put down my bag on my chair and went out the room to look for Amari. I ran fast at the hallway and accidentally bump into someone I know, Imani.

"Why so clumsy? Don't you know that it's forbidden to run at the hallway because the pavement here is slippery?"

She scowl her face and fix her uniform. So I apologize.

"I- I am sorry. I just in a hurry. Anyway, have you seen Amari?"

"Oh! She's at the cafeteria, eating breakfast with her loving doll."

"Okay, thanks and sorry again!"

I quickly get away from her but she stopped me by calling my name so I paused and turned to her. She approach me and stretch her hand to my head.

"It's okey now. Where have you been?  Why do you have feather on your head? And it's wet! Eewww!"

She stated showing me the white feather that almost turned into black because of the liquid. Like it was dip into black red paint or an ink? I am not sure. Right then I notice Imani's hand have black stains. Is she the one that...

"Why do you have black stains on your hands?"

She let go of the feather and show me the stains at her hands. 

"I went to my friend at the other section and helped her to do an activity. Pen stains, why?"

"Oh, n-nothing. Okay, I'll be going now. See yah later at class."

I hastily run away again from her and went straight to the cafeteria. Right there, I see Amari eating alone with her doll. I quickly approach then sit down next to her.

"Sorry to interrupt your quiet time but I need to asked you about something."

Amari carefully put down her spoon at the side of her plate then drink first before she answer. She sit properly facing me.

"I know you are looking for me."

"H-how?"

"Camille told me."

She whisper her last statement like she is being careful not to be heard of anyone aside of me. I don't know how she knew that I'm looking for her but I am afraid that this girl was possessed. But, I guess being her like this can help me a lot to discover things about all the odd things that is happening to me and my classmates.

"I saw a notes at my De---"

" I "

I was interrupted by her. Like she knew everything. Does she also knew who was the next victim?

"Is the next victim has a name started with letter I? Imani or Imy?"

"Yeah. But, please let that person do the business. Stop getting yourself in. If you will not stop, you might die first! "

Amari whisper again to me. I felt eerie. I suddenly become afraid for my life but why the hell giving me the clues then stopping me to interfere? Am I some kind of a toy? Is that person playing a manipulative kind of game?

"That person already gave you the warning. Please, just stop it Zephyr. Save yourself just like what I am doing."

"How could I watch them die one by one?"

She shush me because I said it louder. She looked around the cafeteria to checked then sigh of relief. 

"You can't blame someone who saw somebody killed in front of that person and died in many ways Zephyr. Trust me. Don't get in that person's way."

She stood up and attempted to leave but I grabbed her hand.

"Please, Amari. We need to make all of this stop!"

"I am sorry, Zephyr. This has been planned even before the class started.  And please, be careful with your words. That person might watching you from afar."

"Last question, Amari. Do you know that person?"

She sat down again and gaze at my eyes. I am so nervous about her answer. But, she shook her head.

"No, all I can say is ONLY TRUST YOURSELF"

Amari, abruptly stand up and walked away from me. I took a deep sigh and about to leave also when I saw small paper at the pavement. I picked it up. Did Amari somehow...

"Scissor."

I smiled, not because of the fact that somebody will die again. It's because of Amari, trying to help me in a way that the person she's so afraid of would not notice. Yet, who is the next victim? And scissor? Do I need to confiscate all my classmates scissors for precautions? Wew! 

※※※※※※

I went back to room five minutes before the class started. The notes still there but I didn't mind. It's the clue I can use to save my classmate. I glance at Amari and smile at her but she just avoided my stare and focused it on the white board. Everything today was normal, it's just Asyla was absent today.  My break time too was peaceful.

It's our math subject now and having a quiz. A soft laugh escape my lips when I saw how messy Cjay's note was. I softly kick his feet to grab his attention.

"What? I am concentrating!"

I secretly pass him my paper and I laugh again softly when I saw how his eyes gleam and huge smile crawl on his face. I am an average student but I study well and I focus on math since it is my weakness. Cjay hurriedly copied my answer and quickly give back my paper.

"Thanks!"

He mouthed at me. Our math teacher is a strict one and she hate it when the class is noisy especially when we are having a quiz. I get separate sheet of paper and wrote something then pass it carefully to Cjay. 

"Tell me. What have you done to Asyla? She's absent today."

He look at me and scowl his face then started to write at the paper then gave me.

"I haven't done anything. I just like to talk to her and make her stop her doing. But, she's not here so I guess I'll do it tomorrow."

I read it and I reply then pass again the paper to him.

"Your time it ticking Cjay. Weather you talked to her or not. I will tell Vanessa everything tomorrow."

He snort and crumpled the paper and put it in his pocket.

"Fine!"

He whispher to me that made me smile. I don't want a fight or make a fight between my classmates but I need to do the right thing.

"Okay, class! Ballpens up! Done or not, pass the paper at front."

We all move quick and pass the papers at front then the teacher get it and shuffle. She distributed it again to everyone to checked. I got Vanessa's paper. Well, her score is not bad. Six out of ten. I guess she also study when she has time. I put a corrected by notes at the bottom of the the paper of course and besides our teacher ruled us to put it so we could questioned the person who checked it when we noticed a mistakes.

"Okay class, pass it at front again."

So we did. Our teacher called Lucia to give back the papers to their rightful owner. Because after these, the teacher will call us one by one to tell our scores. Self humiliation in short. Lucia get near me and handed me a paper, I immediately check my score and almost jump due to happiness when I got 9/10! I also look for the corrected by then I saw this.

"Corrected by: IMY OR IMANI?"

I can't recognize the handwritten. It seems like the one who wrote it made sure that the handwritten would be unrecognizable, by me. That person really toying me, tempting me to dig more and discover everything. That person want me to play, then I will. I will save all my classmates!

After our math, the next teacher came. MUSIC AND ART subject. She greeted us good efternoon then wrote something on the white board. After that, she face us and started to announced.

"Okay class, I have an emergency meeting today so we will not have class. But, I drop here to give you the list of the things you need to bring tomorrow for the art activity. That's all, have a nice day. Wait for your next teacher and don't be noisy."

I get my Music and Art Notebook and write down all the things I need to bring tomorrow.

"Art paper (assorted colors) "

"Glue"

"Popsicle sticks (plain color)"

"Water color"

"Ruler"

"Pencil"

"Scissor"
