Chapter eleven
I walked down the hall and I saw Kylo walking down the hall with his phone in hand and his basketball bag around his shoulder. I hid behind the lockers and watched. He went into the washroom. I waited two minutes and he came out, clothes changed. I couldn't tell what he changed into at first but when he turned around heading my way, phone still in hand looking at it, he's the killer. I gasped loudly and quickly covered my mouth and went all the way to the wall and hid, trying not to make noise. In broad daylight too.
"Hello?" Silence. "Hello? Anyone there?" I didn't answer.
This is scary. I hope he doesn't catch me. He walks past me and out the doors. I glanced out the door and there he was running into the field. I knew it. He was the killer. I didn't even need to make connections. But wait, what if Kylo isn't the murderer. He went in and the killer came out. What if the killer killed Kylo?
I brushed off the thought. I go and peak out the end of the portable doors. There's an emergency door at the end incase of an emergency. All I see is the killer talking to someone. It could be Daniel. I just look out and lean against the door, watching him. They're playing around, chasing each other. Then all of a sudden the hood comes off of one of them and it's a girl. I was shocked to see him with another girl. She has long blonde hair. I can hardly see her face because she has the bacalva on her too. He helps her put the hood on and hugs her.
Now I feel rejected and cheated on. He takes something away from her and runs. She catches up and she jumps on his back and brings him down to the ground. I don't know why I'm torturing myself by watching them. I'll have to ask tonight when I get it. Or if he gets me. I just wanted to know what was going to happen. Anyways, she ends up on top of him and leans down toward him.
Tears start rolling down my face. I kept watching them playing around. He gets up and runs for it with something in his hand and tries to stop her. He gives her whatever that is and they both go their separate ways. I sit on the table looking out blankly when he enters the school. I look at him and he notices me wistful.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." I wiped my tears away hoping he didn't notice. "Something's wrong. You can't lie to me when nothing's wrong, when clearly something's bothering you."
He comes and sits on the table, wraps his arms around me and pulls me in tight.
"Tell me. What happened?"
"I saw you out there."
"Hmm. What else?"
"With a girl. Playing around."
"It's not what it looks like."
"Right."
"It's my sister. She wanted something of mine and I told her she could use it. She was grabbing at it and I had to keep it until she asked politely."
"Oh, and all jumping on top of you was her trying to get whatever you were going to give?"
"Yep. She loves doing that to me."
"Oh."
"You see, there's nothing going on between her and I cause that's just insest."
"Ok." I lean closer to him. "Better?"
"Yeah."
"Ok, gotta go now before someone catches us. See you tonight?"
"Yes. See you tonight."
He leaves out the door and I go out to find people. I was being stupid for that. Although she didn't look like him, then again I couldn't see her face. I couldn't find anyone in the school. Every time I want to find someone, they're always gone, and if I don't want to find everyone, they're always here. I haven't checked the gym, so I went to take a look in the gym. There they are, running in the gym doing something. They looked busy so I left them.
"Makayla. Goodness I've found you. Need to talk to you badly." seeing Kylo running down the hall to me.
"Ok, Kylo. You can."
"Where's everyone?"
"In the Gym running."
"Good, lets go."
He grabs my wrist and starts running. He takes me to his room and locks the door. "Ok, what's going on?"
"I need to tell you something, but you cannot tell the others or we're both screwed. Promise you won't tell."
"Yes, I promise."
"Ok good. I-"
Knock knock.
"Who is it?" yelled Kylo.
"Hunter. I need to talk to you and Makayla."
"We're kind of busy."
"No, now."
"Look a few minutes, Hunter. I really need to talk to Makayla, now. "
"Ok, you've got two minutes, then I need to talk to you."
He left, as we think. Kylo pulled me to the front of the classroom in the right corner and told me what he was going to say.
"Ok, you wanted to talk to me. What do you want?"
"How do I put this? I don't know what to say to you without freaking you out."
"Whatever you have to say, it won't freak me out."
"What I'm about to say to you is very important information, and you can't rat me out."
"Alright."
He's taking deep breaths, very slowly. "Makayla, I'm the k-"
Kylo got interrupted by a knock on the door. Kylo went to open the door and I went with him, Samantha was at the door, and before he even said a word she said, "Makayla, we need you now. I don't care if you two are about to talk, we need you now. And just you."
"Ok I'm coming. Kylo I'll come back as soon as I can then you can tell me, ok?"
"Ok." He seemed disappointed by it, but I promised. I left with Samantha headed to the gym where all the action is. "What happened, Samantha?"
"We need to talk to you about some things. I promise it won't take long"
Everyone was waiting in the gym for us and we got started immediately.
"Ok, what do you guys want?"
"We are going to ask you questions you must answer truthfully. Ok?" Hunter says.
"Ok."
"Do you know anything about the killer?"
"No."
"When you see anybody, do they act suspicious of any kind of behavior?"
"No, not that I know of."
"Do you hear any noise? Like someone walking around when they're supposed to be asleep?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"I don't think you're answering honestly." I can tell he knows that I know something, but can't say anything.
"I'm telling the truth."
"Huh, sure you are. Tonight one of us is going to stay up and see if you're telling the truth, or lying." That's not good for me. Now how else am I going to see the killer? I agree and leave.
"Makayla." I turn around. "The second you're lying, you're getting locked in that room for the rest of the time here. We will bring you food and let you out to go to the washroom, but that's it. Got that?" "Yes, Hunter."
I leave and Harper comes running to me and takes my hand and runs to the janitor's closet and locks the door behind her. "Ok, Makayla. Tell me now, the truth. I promise I won't tell anyone."
"I can't. I'm telling the truth. I haven't seen the killer."
"Why? You can trust me."
"It's not that. It's just...." I was speechless. Couldn't think of any words to say. I couldn't let her know about the killer. She's putting pressure on me.
"Tell me Makayla. I promise I won't tell anyone. I swear."
"There's no secret here. Now can I go? Kylo wants to talk to me."
"Ok go. But you do realize I'm your friend and you can trust me. Am I not your friend who you can trust?"
"No. That's not what I meant, Harper."
"Well that's what it sounds like."
She was shouting at me for not trusting her and I, of course, had to think of reasons why I wasn't going to say anything. She didn't listen to me. "Can I go now?"
"Yes, you can go now."
I left her and went to Kylo's room. Whatever he wanted to say to me, he was nervous, but he had time to go over. I went up to the door and knocked.
"Who is it?"
"Makayla."
"Come in."
Tried but the door was locked. "Can you please open the door. It's locked from out here."
He came and opened the door and pulled me right in. "Ok, you wanted to tell me something very private."
"Yes."
"I'm ready."
"Makayla, I need to show you something and you need to be honest with me. I know you can't trust anyone but you need to tell me and I won't say a word."
He went over to the corner to grab the killer's clothes that I've found here.
"Do you recognize any of this?"
"I- I . . ."
Again I couldn't find any words. I didn't know where he was going with this. Was he going to confess something I didn't know about? Sweat was coming down my face hard. "No." I lied. "Makayla. Do you or do you not recognize this?" Getting on my nerves. Why is everyone pressuring me to tell them the truth? "Fine. Yes. I recognize the clothing. And the belt of weapons."
"Ok thanks. I wanted to show you this because I know who the killer is but can't say. I've found this in someone's room."
"Who's?" He's lying to me in front of my face. "Like I said. I can't say."
"Well then I guess you don't know who it is if you can't say."
"What happens if I told you, you knew it and you were just talking to it or you are now."
"What?"
"I know. You're surprised."
I had no clue what he was talking about. "I better leave you now. Gets some rest Kylo. Di- did you bump your head on something?" I'm scared for him. He's going crazy.
"No. no no no" he says chuckling. "Ok, well bye."
I left him and went off for dinner. I haven't eaten all day and it's killing me. I made a bologna sandwich with some greek salad on the side. It was so lonely in the room eating. I finished, cleaned up, and left. Passing Kylo's room I heard talking with someone I don't recognize, I went up to the room to eavesdrop.
"Ok, Kylo. You can't go out there. The others will see you and they will eliminate you. You won't have time to pull out your weapons and defend yourself or run away."
"Look boss, I can defend myself and I'm very careful about who's out there."
One second I was behind the door listening, the next second he opened the door and I fell into his arms and he caught me. "You were saying."
We looked face to face and then I realized that he didn't have his bacalva on.
"How much did you hear?"
"Uhh."
"Well, Kylo. You've got something to say to her. She now knows who you are at night."
It's true! With Kylo in the killer costume, I now know for one, I kissed him and liked him even though without the killer clothes I didn't. And second, I've fallen in love with a killer and know who he is. He glanced at his boss and gave him a look. "Kylo." I say quietly. He didn't listen, so I tried to let go and leave but he pulled me in again and shut and locked the door. "You're not going anywhere."
The key went into his pocket and stepped back. "If you're going to do it, let me. It's better if it comes from me than you. I bet she feels comfortable if I do it."
"Ok. but do it now or else she's going to tell everyone."
"She won't. I made sure of it. Where is it?"
"Right here."
His boss pulls out a needle and I immediately freak out.
"No! No you're not putting that needle in me."
He comes towards me with it and has it ready. "Kylo, please no. You know I won't say a thing."
"I know you won't. But to make sure of it."
He pulls my sleeve up and jabs it in. Everything went black.
