XIENNE
I went to the dirty sink of the house. There are no left things here. I saw gallons of water at the bottom of the sink. It's good so that I can wash my hands later.
I heard the door slowly open. A smile flashed on my lips.
"Joshua?" said Samantha.
I slowly uncovered my head by lowering the hood of the jacket then faced her. There was a look of shock on her face, she did not expect to see me.
"Surprise, bitch."
My two hands are inside the pocket of the hoodie jacket. I am holding the knife inside. I gave her a demonic smile.
“What are you doing here? Are you alone?” she asked.
“Have you seen anyone else here besides me? No one, right? I'm just alone. Stupid.”
His eyes narrowed. She crossed her arms. "I am expecting someone here."
She stood up like she is a powerful woman. I wanted to laugh at her face but I do not want to embarass her. She might lost her confidence if i would to that. I am not that bad.
I laughed. “So? You really are a fool, Samantha. ”
She stared at me intensely then slowly walked closer to me.
You are the one approaching your death, Dear Samie.
She kept her composure and did not brek her stares at me. She is too brave to look at me like that. She doesn’t know that she is approaching her own death.
"You know what? I don’t know where your courage is coming from now, Xienne. Why? What can you do?”
I can kill you.
I crossed my arms like her. Stood straight and looked intently at her eyes, mocking her more because of her stupidity.
“For your information, the Joshua that you know is not really existing. You see? I just made up the Joshua that is texting you,” I spilled.
For the second time, I saw the shock on her face. "You mean, all this time, you're the one texting me?"
"Nothing else but me."
There is no other noise here, it is just me and Samantha talking. No one can heard us. No one can hear how will Samantha shout for help. No one will know that someone’s life will be taken tonight.
She shook her head, not knowing what to say. "But why?"
I approached her. Just two steps and I can reach her already. "What do you think, Sam?"
“I don't know, I don't know. Can you just say why? Why you asked me to go here?”
I let out a deep breath and a chuckle. I love seeing the confusion on her face.
"Because I want you to meet Beatrice."
She was even more surprised by my answer. “But Beatrice is dead. She’s gone. Fucking shit, Xienne! What do you mean? How can I see Beatrice if she is already dead?”
“Through death, Samantha. You’ll see her in hell because I will kill you! ” I shouted.
I saw shock and fear in her eyes. She can not move anymore.
Without thinking twice, I pulled out the knife I had been holding and stabbed her in the throat. She vomited blood. The masculinity of her eyes was still there.
I was still not satisfied, I stabbed her in the mouth. I repeatedly stabbed her in the mouth with a knife.
That’s what your mouth deserves! How long I have endured the words you say that are all nonsense.
I was so nervous, I was stabbing her everywhere. Her face could no longer be recognized.
When I was satisfied, I immediately went to the sink to clean up the blood spilled on my face. Ignore the blood clinging to my jacket and pants because they are both black so it won’t be notice.
But to be sure, I took off my jacket and left the red T-shirt. I immediately wrapped my cleaned knife in the jacket before putting it in the bag. I even checked my entirety to see if there was really any blood left.
I peeked out the window to see if anyone was hanging out or passing by. Without seeing anything I quickly got out and walked again to the ministop.
I can't catch my breath. I was so nervous about what I did. I wondered if I would continue with my plans because I already had a guilty conscience. I do not want to be imprisoned, por dios por santo!
I immediately sat down in a chair outside the ministop. I put my elbows on the table then covered my face with my hands.
I'm crying! I waited for my breathing to adjust before raising my gaze again.
I was so shocked to see who was sitting in front of me.
"What happened to you?" he asked.
He was the man who talked to me when I went to the back of the University. He was also the one who bumped into me the other day causing me to throw away the food I was carrying.
“Nothing and you don't care.”
“Okay. Anyway, I’m Nikolai, you are?”
“None of your business.” I stood up.
“Okay, Miss none of your business.” He let out a laugh. “Remember what I’ve said before?”
I faced him and raised my left eyebrow. “What?”
“I am watching you. I can see you.”
Beat.
Does he know my secret?
I can not move. He was staring me intently. “What’s with the frightened face, Miss Xienne?”
I can't say thing. “H-how did you know my name?" I asked.
He laughed. “It is on your name plate,” he answered while pointing his finger on my chest with a name plate on it.
I forgot. “Ugh, yeah.”
”Do you want something to drink? Juice or anything you’d like.”
Without thinking twice, I answered. “Water will do.”
I no longer have time to refuse his offer. I need water. He stood up and entered the ministop grocery. I was watching him from outside. The glass wall really helped me to see what he was doing.
He’s picking a chips. He glanced at me then smiled. There was something on him I shouldn't trust. It’s like he is giving me a creppy feeling.
I looked away, never minding him.
XIENNE"Seriously, why do you look frustrated earlier? Is there something that happened to you?" asked Nikolai.We are still here outside of the mini grocery. Silenced enveloped the both of us for I did not answer his question. I looked at him, never breaking it. I examined his whole face that is undeniably handsome though he looks like someone who should not be trusted easily.“Nothing. I just have a very personal problem and I don't want to talk about it. Quit asking.”He shrugged his shoulders and got some chips and immediately put them inside his mouth. He chewed it too noisy that I found it so infuriating.I rolled my eyes. He then laughed which made the chunks inside his mouth go out.Yuck.“What's so funny? And can you please eat cleanly? You're so gross. At least, serve manners while eating,” I said.He wiped the excessed chunks of the
XIENNE“OH MY GOSH! SAMANTHAAAAA!!!” Jen shouted the moment we came here in the abandoned house.We came here with the police officials.The shock was evident in their faces. They could not say anything for they can not believe what happened to Samantha.She is almost unrecognizable. Her eyes are still wide open, looking at the ceiling. Some of my classmates vomited, even Clark. The stink of Samantha’s body is can not be accepted by our body system.“All of you, go out. We are going to take care of her body. And, Miss Jen, one of the detectives will ask you for some question regarding of her last words before she left you,” the Chief Police shouted that made us all leave the house.My classmates are all silent. Who would believe that their Dear Samantha will be found dead and almost unrecognizable.Samantha is pretty and my stabs made her face pretty bad. It i
XIENNE“What’s the update with Beatrice and Samantha’s death?” asked Lexy.I never thought she would be serious about being friends with me. She always shadows me wherever I am going. It’s been a week since Samantha’s death and they still plop Jen as the primary suspect which was good for me.“I don’t know. Beatrice’s case is close to being a case close. They can’t find any evidence which can point to someone as a suspect,” I answered. “Meanwhile, about Samantha, the officers are currently approaching Jen’s boyfriend if she’s really with him that the murder happened.”Lexy was constantly swaying her feet while we are sitting here on one of the benches in the Science garden. She turned her gaze up at me, examining my face.“I really admire your beauty and your wit,” she confided.She really does speak randomly.“Tsk, shut up, Lexy. Go back to your class, you might be
XIENNE“I think I like you, Xienne,” Clark whispered.I looked intently at his eyes, only to see sincerity with it. He smiled a little.Is it true? He really does like me?We are here at the back of the University, there are not many students here.I remained silent for his sudden confession bug me. Clark had been good to me since we were sophomores. Now, he’s confessing to me.I won’t deny it, I like him, too. He has the looks, nevertheless, I think I am just infatuated by his looks.“Can I court you?” he asked.I blinked my eyes, my mouth was hung open for I do not know what to say. He is waiting for my answer. I breathed heavily.“Uh! Clark, I will be honest to you, I have a huge crush on you but I do not think I can commit. Studying is my first priority and being in a relationship is the least. I’m sorry but I n
XIENNEDear Diary,Now I already have a plan on how will I kill Ace. Though my plan would be so hard to make it happen successfully I know it would be all worth it. I trust myself. I will seduce him and get his trust and attention then I will do my dirty little plan. Thinking of it gives me a huge excitement. Surely, killing him will give to me great satisfaction. But for now, I need to do my first step. It is befriending them all to earn their trust in me. I will play good and kind just like I was before. A good girl. I don’t care if they will abuse my kindness again, the most important thing is making them all stupid and then killing them all. No one dared to be good at me from them, and they deserve what I am going to them, D. Watch and I will make all my plans happen. Wait for it, D. That’s all for my entry today. Got to go!-XienneI closed my notebo
XIENNEIt’s getting dark but I am still here at the University. I am on the rooftop, breathing fresh air that gives a soothing feeling. Knowing the fact that maybe there’s only a few students, professors, or staff here in school left, did not give me fear. I would be really glad if I will know that I am the only one left here. Being alone somehow gives different comfort. You will have time to think, clearly and wisely.A felt someone from behind. However, I didn’t move. I just feel around. I waited for him or her to move or approach me. I wasn’t scared because he didn’t know what I could do to him.“Haven’t you come home yet? It’s getting late,” said Nikolai.I just looked at him, I did not speak. I sighed heavily. I thought I can be alone here just for today. I do not feel like interacting with anyone.
XIENNEIt’s already midnight yet I still can not sleep. I am thinking if I could continue my plan to Ace. I know it would be really hard because I still need to make him fall in love with me first. I need to get his full attention, make him fall deeper and harder.Meanwhile, about Nikolai, I never thought he is a member of a fraternity. I just saw him as a weird and creepy guy, that’s all. Nothing much.I still can get off my mind what he had said to me before when I first saw him. He told me that he can see me. That he is watching me. Whatever the means about that, it really gives goosebumps to me.I am thinking that he is not just a normal guy. So I need to be careful around him. Who knows if he is stalking me? I know, I am too paranoid for thinking like that but I need to be extra careful.A text from someone pulled me back to reality. I did not waste any time and checked who it
XIENNEThe class started, it did not escape my peripheral vision by the way my classmates look at me. If I know, they are already doubting what is my relationship with Ace. They shouldn’t be. There is nothing between us and will never have. I hate him so much to be with him. It’s just that, I have a plan so I am being close with him.“What do you think about platonic love?” our professor asked, Miss Jensen.I raised my right hand. Our professor nodded which means I am already allowed to talk. I stood up and held my head up high.“You can love someone platonically, but it won't look the same as a relationship with a romantic subject oflove. Platonic love is the love we feel for our friends, peers, and our families. When we are in platonic love, we are connected deeply and have a special understanding of one another. Platonic relationships are often sacred. That&rsqu
