The road to true love

"Ace, Ace are you home"Belle called but no one answered "Ace if you're home just answer me already"she yelled again but no one answered back."but the front door was unlocked so he has to be at home" Belle mummured to herself and continued to look for Ace all around the house and through all the rooms. she found a specific room that was locked unlike the other rooms this one was locked with a key,she remembered seeing a tool she can use to open the room she went back to carry it and use it to open the door,she was greeted by dead bodies to be more precise butchered body parts. Belle was shocked and frightened at the same time,she covered her mouth in disbelief and tried to run out of the house when she hit someone. "leaving so soon" Ace asked with a devilish grin plastered on his face. she had been warned but took no heed now she is going to be the next. she has been hearing of the recent killing of young girls like her either their dead bodies lie on the street or they get missing. it all made sense now, whenever she tried to ask Ace about his past he always tries to change topic,he also never allows her to come to his house,but she couldn't miss this perfect opportunity to surprise him with her coming only to see this. Ivan wiped the sweat on his forehead,he had carried Belle from his house all the way to this dump and he has to start packing before someone suspects a thing. his real name was Ivan he's someone who acts nice just to kill you in the end,it actually pays him,Belle was his next target but he didn't want to end her this way but nevertheless less he still has to get the other one ' Dorothy '. "and he tries to get my number but I always shun him" Dorothy laughed. "so you're still looking for the right man I suppose" Rhea poured a cup of juice and sat down next to Dorothy "of course I am "Dorothy smiled "you don't expect me to settle for less,the fact that I am not picky in things doesn't mean that I won't find a man I deserve "Dorothy added. "but you need to watch out not all men are the same with how they look so don't cling unto a man who was sent to ruin your life" Rhea advised "looks like you two are getting along " Rhea's mom walked in with a smile. " of course we are Rhea's mom I have even forgotten what caused our disagreement in the first place" Dorothy spent a long while in Rhea's home before going back to her house,she doesn't know that someone is watching her behind the shadows. It is a brand new day ,a Thursday to be precise after getting ready Rhea went to school. "Good morning, class," the teacher said. "Today, we have a new student. His name is Fred Willard, and he's transferring from out of state. Please make him feel welcome." A tall, dark-haired boy stood up and walked to the front of the room. He had a slight smile on his face, and he looked around at the class. "Hi, everyone," he said. "My name is Fred Willard, and I'm happy to be here." He sat back down, and the teacher began class. So, Fred sat down at the desk next to Rhea, and he smiled at her. "Hi, I'm Fred," he said. Rhea nodded and smiled back. But she couldn't help but notice that the other girls in the class were staring at him. They were all whispering to each other and giggling. Even Dorothy, who was usually so quiet and reserved, couldn't take her eyes off of him. But Rhea just rolled her eyes. She didn't see what all the fuss was about. He was just a guy, after all. As the bell rang and the class was dismissed, Fred started gathering his things. But he seemed to be having trouble with his books. "Can anyone help me with these?" he asked. The girls all started offering to help him, but Rhea just kept packing her bag. But then, Dorothy spoke up. "I can help you with that," she said. She smiled at him, and he smiled back. Dorothy noticed the other girls looking at her with daggers in their eyes. But she just ignored them and kept packing her bag. she really liked being close to Fred and made the most of this moment,she felt her heart race when his hand touch hers. So, Dorothy was the one who offered to help Fred with his books. "I'm so glad you're here to help me," he said. "These books are a lot heavier than I thought they would be." "It's no problem," said Dorothy. "I'm happy to help." She smiled at him, and he smiled back. The other girls were all watching, looking a little jealous. Dorothy just rolled her eyes As Dorothy and Fred gathered his things, she started asking him some questions. "So, you're new here?" she asked. "Yeah, I just moved here from California," he said. "What made you move?" she asked. "My parents got a new job here," he said. "So you're starting your senior year here?" she asked. "Yeah, I am," he said. "Do you know anyone else at this school?" she asked. "Not really," he said. "Well, now you know me!" she said. and He laughed. After chatting with Fred for a few minutes, Dorothy had all of his books packed up. "There you go!" she said, handing him the bag. "Thanks so much," he said. "No problem," she said. "I'll see you around, I hope." "I hope so too," he said. "Bye for now!" she said, and she turned to leave. But then, he called out to her. "Wait, before you go, can I ask you something?" She turned back around. "Sure, what is it?" she asked. "Do you have any recommendations for places to eat around here?" he asked. "As a matter of fact, I do!" she said. "Why don't we go grab some lunch together? You can tell me all about California, and I can show you some of my favorite places to eat!"?. Rhea and Dorothy were pretty close. They ate lunch together every day, and they often studied together after school. So, when Dorothy asked Fred to join them for lunch, Rhea was taken aback. "What do you mean, 'us'?" she asked. "I'd love to join you both for lunch!" said Fred. "Umm..." said Rhea, unsure of what to say. She didn't want to be rude, but she wasn't sure how she felt about this new guy joining them for lunch. "Come on, Rhea!" said Dorothy. "It'll be fun! I think you'll like Fred. He's really nice!" Rhea looked from Dorothy to Fred and back again. She didn't want to be rude, and she trusted Dorothy's judgment. "Okay," she said, with a small sigh. "I guess it can't hurt to try." "Great!" said Dorothy. "Let's go!" And with that, the three of them left the school and headed to one of Rhea's favorite lunch spots. It was a small cafe, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The three of them sat down at a table, and a waiter came over to take their orders. "So, Fred," said Rhea, trying to start a conversation. "How are you liking the school so far?" "It's been pretty good so far," said Fred. "Everyone has been very welcoming." "I'm glad to hear that," said Rhea. Rhea wasn't good at talking at this moment she just listened to Fred and Dorothy chatting. As Rhea listened to Fred and Dorothy chat, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. They seemed to be hitting it off so well, and she felt like she was just sitting there, like a third wheel. She tried to join in on the conversation a few times, but it always felt awkward and forced. Eventually, she just gave up and sat back, listening to them talk. She couldn't help but feel a little left out.And watching Dorothy laughing with this new guy. she doesn't want to be too possessive but this lunch is making her even more jealous of this guy. Rhea tried to fight the feeling of jealousy, but it was difficult. She knew that she shouldn't feel this way. Dorothy was her friend, and she had every right to hang out with whoever she wanted. But still, Rhea couldn't help but feel a little hurt. She wondered if maybe she and Dorothy weren't as close as she had thought. Maybe their friendship wasn't as strong as she had believed. She tried to push these thoughts away, but they kept coming back. "Rhea "Dorothy called out to her "you seemed to have blacked out there for a second" "Who me I am totally fine" Rhea tried to smile. "I was just telling Fred about those times when we got at trouble in school"Rhea forced a smile, trying to play along. But inside, she was feeling anything but okay. She tried to focus on the conversation, but her thoughts kept drifting back to Fred she didn't seem okay with him,she couldn't explain but she just felt the chills around him. "What do you think, Rhea?" asked Fred, bringing her back to the present moment. "I'm sorry, what?" said Rhea, realizing she had zoned out again. "I was asking if you wanted dessert," said Fred. "Oh, no thanks," said Rhea. "I'm not really in the mood."
