Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 7

"So a sophomore student is a tutor of a senior now? What a world."

I can't handle his childness. He keeps following me since we got out of Mr. Holland's office. "Can you please stop following me??" I said and I face him. HE stop walking too and he raise his right eyebrow. "Yeah. I said it. I don't care if I sounded rude to your Mr. Senior boy, but I am pretty sure there was a big mistake about tutoring you." I said. "A senior needs a tutor? What a world." I said and walk away. I left him there, hanging his jaw from the ground.

I am pretty sure I am not the boy they want to tutor their son. I can't even tutor myself!

I sat down on a chair beside Henry who's eating his fries alone. He look to me and he smiled. "What a frown face now?" He ask me. "I cannot believe what a mistake our Principal made." I said and I put my head down on the table. "Why what happened?" He ask in his concern tone. "I am going to tutor a senior boy who is clearly a football player who can kick my ass anytime. And I know that's a mistake.." After seconds of me not hearing Henry's voice, I raise my head to look at him.

His cheeks turns to red and he starts laughing.

Yeah laugh, until you go to jail.

"And who's the football player you're talking about?"

"I am pretty sure he was talking about me." I look to the man who spoke and it was him.

"Chase!"

The News

"A shocking news discovery was received yesterday night after a teenager found the body of the missing boy for 2 weeks now." The news anchor said.

Since yesterday night, people are talking about Chase death, about Chase 'Murder'. People are looking at me like I did something, I mean I did something.

People know my face, know my name. Someone took a picture of me screaming while looking at Chase dead body... And below my picture, it says

'The Killer? The Victim? Or just a body founder.'

And who was it from? Who spread my picture and the news?

It's no other than the mysterious C who knows the truth from the start. And now, he is trying to uncover the truth for everyone.

"What the f**k?" I look to the person who drag me with him while holding tight my arm. "What the f**k what?" I ask him. "That's your plan? Pretend that you f*****g found Chase?" HE said. "Henry, you don't know everything about getting away of murder. Think. No one will know, it was me, who put his body, beside, we still don't know if I am the on who killed Chase, since he was stabbed remember?"

I remember.

I remember the horrible news that spread all over town after the night I killed Chase. I remember the horrible things that happened to Chase that night, specially to his corpse body.

Someone tries to bring me down, but that C, will never bring me down to where he is, I still don't know who is C after this past 2 years, but I know, he is obsess with me, with every actions that I am making. With every decision that I am planning.

"What in the f*****g hell?"  Henry whispered while we're both looking to Chase body full of stabbed. "How did this happen?" He ask. I look at him and grin. "You mean what did you do?" I said. Henry aggressively look to me with his aggressively eyebrow meeting each other at the top of his nose. "What? You're accusing me?" He said while pointing to his self.

I accuse no one, I only felt like somehow he did something to him, but of course not stabbed him like this. I know Henry, he can't do it..

But he can deal with a lot of money, which is I thought I know he can't do it.

We all have a secrets. We thought we know people, but the truth is, no. The only person who can know fully themselves, are the one who's owning that body, us.

I thought I know Henry, but the truth is, I don't know anymore.

I thought I know myself, but the truth is I am more beyond those expectance that I have to myself.

And lastly, Henry thought he knows me, what is going on inside my head, but the truth is, no one knows me better, than myself.

"Okay,, I am not accusing of anything, I am just asking. But I know that whoever do this, is the one who leave the letter and the roses to my bedroom, and to His body." I said. "I don't even put him inside the cabinet, so maybe you did it? And you put him there, and act like you didn't know. " HE said. I look to him, confuse. I am not mad, nor angry to whatever he said, because I accuse hhim first. I look to him because of what he said, he didn't put the  body inside the cabinet.

I thought he  put the body inside my cabinet because I told him so, but not...

I didn't even put Chase body inside the cabinet because when I got home yesterday, the first thing that I did is to go to my bathroom and had a shower.

So....

"Who put his body inside the cabinet?"

Henry look at me with his confuse face. "You did put him inside right?"

I know who put the body inside, C

But who the f**k is C? What does he want, why is he disturbing me. If C knows about what we did yesterday, then why don't just he turn us into the  police?

"Someone knows about our crime."

Present day

I walk slowly down the halls while my head is looking down, while my eyes are focus on the floor of our campus,

Everyone knows that I am the one who found Chase body. And I don't know what's wrong about it. People are talking about me finding the body, is it illegal?

Unless they don't want Chase body to be found

Well, sorry I am the one who's hiding Chase body, it is me who decide to show Chase body... or not.

"Are you alright?" Henry said. I look to him thinking why Is he saying this to me right now... "Im sorry for what I said earlier. I  was just shock." HE continued. "And I know that this is going to happen. People are going to think that  you're the one who killed Chase since the body is near at your house and youre the one who found the body. It cannot be coincidence." He whispered to my ears.

I hold his wrist so he could stop talking because students in this school are still looking at me. They might hear what were talking about. And everything will turn upside down if it happened. I am not going to make any mistakes again.

C destroyed the body, now I made a new plan, and when someone hears our conversation, I cannot make a new plan again, like what I did before.

I promise to God when I found out who is C, I am going to kill him.

"Could you shut your mouth? Someone might hear us." I said. I drag him to the corner to talk to him, so whatever conversations were having, it is safe with us. "That is the whole plan. I have plan Henry, just trust me."  I said. "What are you planning Jackson? I felt like it is not a good plan." 

"It is, if you trust me." I answered him immediately.

"I thought were in this together? I-- .." Henry did not finish his words when Katharina pop up out of nowhere. "What are you guys talking about?" She asked.  "It was nothing. Jackson felt uncomfortable with this talking s**t that the people are having." Henry cover it up for us. Katharina smiled and she comforted me, saying that I shouldn't mind what other people are saying about me. Because whatever words they used too judge me, they can't because I am innocent, well she believe that I am innocent...

Even though I am not.

I felt sorry for those people who believe I am innocent. It isn't my intentions at all.

But I am planning everything for the last two weeks.. And it is all going great..

Unless if I did some mistakes.

I sat down to my chair inside the classroom when I heard my classmate talking about the body.

"Did you hear? They are doing an autopsy to Chase and they are going to questions everyone for his death.?" My Classmate Sharina said to her friend Quinne. "I know, my dad said who is working to his case that this is a murder. And he said that there's a murderer in our town." Quinne answered. "How did your dad knows that it is a murder if the autopsy is not finished?"

"Well, he was stabbed six times all over his body and a trauma on his head."

I just keep listening to the conversation until one detail shock me off.

"My dad said that he died from stabbing not from the trauma on his head."

And that is when I knew that there is a possibility that I am innocent after all, well not innocent, but not a murderer. It means... Whoever killed Chase is the one who stabbed him...

And it was C.

Now, I need to know who is C.

From that moment, my dark soul had a light.

I knew Im not a murderer.

When someone texted me

"Not a murderer but still,

you're the reason why he is dead."

C is right. I am the reason why he is still dead.

The first reason why.
