Jacob bit his tongue as he wanted to say maybe you’re in detention for the ugly shoes but this was not the time to talk about ugly shoes, it was the time to solve the mrder mystery before he becomes a target. Jacob rolled his eyes, “mAyBe bY AtTeNdInG DeTeNtIoN AnD LeArNiNg fRoM OuR MiStAkEs, We cAn bEcOmE BeTtEr pEoPlE In tHe lOnG RuN” Jacob Mocked, “You don’t actually think I buy that right? I know you try hard to seem like this good 2 shoes to the teachers and to the girls but everyone else know who you are actually are, an entitled privileged prick.” And this is coming from another privileged daddy’s (and mommy’s) money prick.“You didn’t want to be in detention, none of us did but you cared about your reputation a great deal and so out of anger you did it… It could have been an accident or on purpose and if it was an accident just fess up, unless.” Jacob eyes Anthony up from his gel filled hair down to his ugly shoes.

As he heard Anthony continue to give his big speech- he rolled his eyes, did anthony really think he bought all of this- he could not, and besides even if he did not do the deed, Jacob would have just blamed it on him to the cops because the speech was boring him and Jacob thinks he deserves jail for the awful speech of ‘friendship is the answer, stick together work together find the murder’ but luckily- or not luckily, Anthony was the murder or a huge suspect, so either ways he is going to jail, “And what would I have to hide?” Jacob chuckled, he bent down to whisper to Anthony in a low tone, “I have nothing to gain from murdering Mr.Albert though he is an old fart r.i.p, and i have no secrets that relate to Mr.Albert or anyone in this school,” Well unless you’re talking about crushes and some secrets he is keeping from his friends, nothing person then yeah. Jacob stood straight crossing his arms,

“Your shoes everything. Maybe your dad cut you off your money because you got into detention which could be really bad for our college record,” And for his, but he planned to do better at swimming so he can get a scholarship there, he was going d1 after all, “So you had to wear this ugly shoes and you got mad at Mr.Albert and well…” Jacob paused uncomfortable, “Bro did you really?” Honestly now that he was thinking about it,he actually hoped Anthony was not the murder especially since he spent the time insulting his ugly shoes- there was a possibility he could be the next victim. Hopefully the lord forbids it.

Was he going to apologize? no because he still did not trust Anthony, even if he was not directly the murder it was still suspicious of him to come to school at this time, he could have been a helper or doing something else suspicious. All jacob knows is Anthony whatever the middle name is, Croissant with a t, u, saint and no r was not to be trusted. When Anthony said he had an albibi, Jacob raised a brow, “And where is Mrs. Morse now?” Jacob asked before Reece could.

Hazel Bailey

∆ . . . . . . ∆

Thankfully, Oliver was the figure amongst the dark, he was the ominous shadow. Oliver, the man standing before her was someone Hazel did not initially think of as a suspect.

Hazel exhaled sharply, “Oh, it’s you, hey!”. Her words were muffled into fragments as she struggled catch her breath. Still, a dazzling excitement had emerged at the thought of his presence. He was quite literally a light shinning through the darkness, and as he ventured, with each step Hazel followed blindly.

She watched Oliver’s slow and calculated movements intuitively as he reached into Mr. Albert’s pocket in hopes of unearthing the key. For a moment, her eyes fell upon his corpse, urging her to look away before she became sick. Hazel held her breath in suspension, and her eyes widened at the sight of a singular pen. Oliver’s expression dropped, and Hazel noticed a glimmer of defeat and of frustration in his eyes.

Hazel placed her hand gently on his shoulder, and began to whisper, “Do you need a phone? Mine’s back in detention” , she admitted. Oliver’s search for the key had led her to believe that he needed something, most likely his phone that had been locked away. “I gave Mr. Albert my old phone, new one’s in my bag, might need a little charge though”. Her eyes shot over to his lifeless body once more while Oliver spoke, bringing up importance of the lost keys.

“You’re right, do you think the person took them? Whoever killed him?”

Hazel found it difficult to speak and a lump formed in her throat. The evidence was blatant, especially after she saw his body, he was not breathing and there was no likely chance that he could still be alive. Yet, the words haunted her, the words that dictated that he was dead.

Willow’s heart skipped a beat hearing what Alissa said - Could one of the staff be responsible for the death of Mr. Albert? The same thought crossed Willow’s mind earlier, and hearing Alissa say it as well made her even more scared. She took another deep breath, calming herself. “I don’t want to accuse anyone, I really hope it’s not the staff…” Willow replied. But no matter what she said, she kept thinking of it. The killer could be among them, in the school, waiting for their next target.

All that stress was slowly breaking her. But weirdly enough, she was used to it. Feeling like her insides were being crushed, heart racing and head spinning, it was all so familiar. All the times she’s heard her parents argue with each other, knowing it was because of her, it made her almost numb to the stress and anxiety. It wasn’t that she couldn’t feel it anymore, it was as strong as ever, maybe even worse. But she knew what to do and how to ignore it. Push back her feelings until she was alone to process them. For now, all that mattered was Alissa’s, and everyone else’s safety.

Willow smiled gently, trying to calm Alissa. Hearing her speak about her life, made her realize the two of them were so different. And yet, having a conversation wasn’t as hard as Willow first assumed. “I know, but it’s very hard for people to act like themselves in an event like this. Some change completely, others stay the same, while some lose a part of themselves… You’re strong, I know you can make it through this.” she spoke. As for Willow, she was strangely unchanged by the event. She kept acting like she usually did, despite the circumstances. She couldn’t help but wonder how numb she’s become to stress and how used she’s become to hiding her feelings.

“We’ll find the phones, call the police. They’ll come quick and make sure nobody else is harmed. We will be okay.” she smiled, but her eyes felt cold. “Are… You ready to go back to the classroom now?”

“You believe it’s important to take responsibility for your actions, but you’re late to detention?” Reece mutters and keeps on listening.
When Ant started talking about learning from your mistakes Reece rolled his eyes and said “Oh cut the cr*p Anteater, you sound like my mom. Detention doesn’t make you better, nothing about detention is there to help us improve. When you do something wrong locking you in a room and taking away your devices ain’t gonna help you. It helps little kids who don’t have the brain capacity to think of certain things of moral and immoral to instill the idea certain things are immoral by punishing them in simmilar manners when they do something wrong. Are you a little kid who can’t tell right from wrong, Ant?” Reece went on a little rant because he’s been in detention enough times to know it’s not meant to better people who do something wrong, it’s more about control.
‘But your defensive reaction and attempts to shift blame onto me are suspicious’ To which Reece reacted by saying “What do you mean shift blame? Jacob was not only in the room with me when Mr. Albert was found, but he never left the room after Mr. Albert was last seen alive. You on the other could’ve been anywhere in the school when we were in detention, you are the most suspicious ones. All the other ones can vouch for everybody else … Except nobody knows for certain you didn’t arrive until just now, nobody knows where you were in the time of the murder, hell nobody else could’ve stabbed him and cleaned the knife so fast to rejoin the others, plent of whom never left the detention room. You are the most sucpisious one, and honestly everything makes sense, so don’t try to blame Jacob becuase that makes you all the more suspicious.”

“We are looking at the evidence and it all points to you. We’re not jumping to conclusion just like Alissa did with Fern and Willow, were taking in things we know and realizing you had something nobody else had. The opportunity … You probably even have the murder weapon now.” Reece turned to Jacob and said “We’ll never know unless we find the weapon though.” He turned to a whisper and got close to Jacob so Ant wouldn’t hear him. “Hey, why don’t you use some of that jock spirit I know you still have in you and hold him down for me while I pat him for the weapon?”

Anthony took a deep breath, trying to calm the rising frustration within him. He understood Reece’s skepticism and frustration with the detention system. It was flawed, no doubt about it. But Anthony believed in finding the opportunity for growth even in the most challenging circumstances. “Reece, I hear you, and I respect your viewpoint,” Anthony began, speaking in a measured tone. “Detention may not be the perfect solution, I agree. It might feel like it’s more about control sometimes, but we can’t overlook the potential for learning and self-reflection within that control.”

He paused for a moment, choosing his words carefully, knowing that he needed to get through to Reece and Jacob without belittling their beliefs or experiences. “The truth is, we all make mistakes. Every single one of us. And sometimes, it’s not until we face the consequences of those mistakes that we truly understand their impact. Detention, flawed as it may be, can offer us a chance to reflect on our actions, to consider the consequences, and to make better choices moving forward.” Anthony glanced at Jacob, hoping to bring him into the conversation as well. “Jacob, you mentioned before that you believe in the power of accountability. Well, detention, in a way, serves as a form of accountability. It shows us that actions have repercussions, and it gives us an opportunity to take responsibility for our behavior.” He turned back to Reece, a touch of empathy in his voice. “I understand that detention might feel like punishment without purpose. But here’s the thing, Reece, we can turn it into something more meaningful. It’s up to us to make that change within ourselves. We can use that time to reflect, to learn from our mistakes, and to grow as individuals. Detention doesn’t have to define who we are; it can become a catalyst for personal growth and resilience.” Anthony extended a hand towards both Reece and Jacob, a gesture of solidarity. “I’m not saying it’s easy, and I’m not saying detention is the perfect solution. But I believe we have the power to make the best out of any situation, even the flawed ones. Let’s work together, support each other, and make a conscious effort to find meaning and personal growth in the face of adversity. We have the potential to become better versions of ourselves, despite the shortcomings of the system.” He finished, leaving the conversation open-ended, hoping that his words would resonate with Reece and Jacob, and that they would be willing to open their minds to the possibility of growth, even in the face of an imperfect system.

Anthony felt a pit in his stomach as Reece turned his accusations toward him. It was one thing for Reece to be skeptical about detention, but now he was implying that Anthony had something to do with Mr. Albert’s murder. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “I’m not trying to shift blame, Reece,” Anthony replied, trying to keep his voice level. “I’m just saying, there keeps being distractions in the root problem. I’m trying to understand what’s going on here. I don’t know where I was when Mr. Albert was killed because I wasn’t involved in that. I was going to the detention room with all of you, but because late because I didn’t think I should go through with a punishment that I didn’t earn nor get a reason as to why I was there. But, decided to anyways to find out why, or if it was a mix up on someone else’s end. I didn’t have anything to do with what happened to Mr. Albert, and I’m just as concerned about finding the truth as you are.” He could feel the tension in the air, and he exchanged a look with Jacob, hoping for anything but skepticism. Anthony couldn’t believe that Reece was trying to pin everything on him without any evidence. He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm and focused.

“I understand that you’re suspicious, and I don’t blame you for being on edge given the circumstances,” he continued, trying to defuse the situation. “But we need to work together to figure this out, not turn on each other. None of us know for sure what happened to Mr. Albert, but we can’t let fear and mistrust divide us. Let’s find a way to help the police and get to the bottom of this. We all want justice, right?” He looked between them, “look, I’m suspicious of both of you too,” he looked at them each in turn, but had bets on Jacob and Reece just being the muscle. After all, Jacob had left the jocks. “I don’t know who’s all here, and when I first found this all it was Jacob near the body and two other students leaving. Then Reece shows up. From my end, it’s also suspicious. I’m positive it is from yours too. But please listen when I say I wouldn’t get myself tangled in this kind of thing. I’m rich and I’m powerful.” There. He said it. “And bad publicity is worse than death for me. So, yes, be suspicious but don’t blame me.”

—

Anthony felt the weight of all the accusations on his shoulders, as if he had suddenly been burdened with a great weight. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he struggled to respond. “This is insane,” he said, his voice shaky with emotion. “I didn’t do it. I swear to you, I had nothing to do with this.” Anthony couldn’t tell if he saw Jacob and Reece exchanged skeptical glances before turning back to him or he imagined it. “But I’m telling you, I didn’t have anything to do with this. I don’t know who did it, but it wasn’t me.” Anthony’s frustration boiled over. “What do you want me to do, Reece? Confess to something I didn’t do? Admit to a crime I didn’t commit? I can’t prove to you that I didn’t do it. All I can do is tell you the truth.” The three of them were silent for a moment, the tension in the room thick and suffocating. Anthony could feel his breaths coming in shorter and faster, like he was running out of air.

As Anthony went on and on and on, Jacob rolled his eyes. He was not listening to a word Anthony was saying because Anthony was saying bllshit- and here people in ths school made fun of nerds when Anthony existed.

See, now Jacob was not middle class nor poor, he was well fairly rich, but this ‘rich’ boy prep talk was getting to his nerves. God, “Anthony,” Jacob said, putting a hand on the boy’s shoulders, “For the love of God shut the fck up” He was tired of Anthony acting like he was the second coming of christ, spewing the gospel- you’re a nobody! Well not a nobody, Anthony was definitely a criminal and even if he was not a criminal in the sense he killed Mr.Albert, he was still a criminal for wasting their time with this bored talk. Honestly, “Are you like trying to bore us out so we leave you alone? Trying to shift the attention because bro it’s not working.” Jacob said crossing his arms, “You’re just making us more annoyed ugly shoes,” Jacob mentioned the ugly shoes again because he knew how much Anthony was annoyed when he made fun of his hideous shoes and for all that annoyance from the talk- no seriously, Jacob wanted to cut off his ears if Anthony kept up with all the ‘accountability is good, i’m an angel, im so pure i could never, responsibility is good, i am smart’ talk, then Jacob was seriously going to cut off his own ears and then find a way to sue Anthony for making him cut off his own ears. He wondered how did this boy have any friends- how did any of the preps stand him? Oh right, he forgot, the preps will stand everyone who is rich and besides, Anthony’s family has a history with the school, of course they will butt kiss him.

“Exactly I have an alibi, Reece has an alibi, everyone in the room has an alibi except for you,” Jacob said pointing at Anthony, “I could not have committed the murder because i was in the room when it happened, and besides do you know me? I never stick to anything for more than some days or even hours, it would be exhausting and i would have been a sloppy murder, you could easily tell if i was the one to do it, therefore it was not me.” Jacob said crossing his arms. You could accuse Jacob of many things, of being an @sshole, of never sticking to one thing, of being the world’s worst brother or best brother but never of murder especially the murder of Mr.Albert- he would get bored of planning it, quit and forget he even planned for such a thing and besides he hated mr.Albert like every other student but not enough to actually kill him. “Also you really need to drop that wannabe good boy act it’s not helping you in any way, its annoying. You are fcking 18 for godsake, this is not middle school,” Jacob said scratching his head. Reece and anthony continued to talk while Jacob stepped back a little because he did not want to be closed to Anthony while he talked on and on.

Anthony was really annoying and Jacob was glad he did not hang out with the preps often because hanging out with Anthony was way worst than jail or hell- no, hanging out with Anthony would be hell. When Reece suggested checking for weapons, Jacob was all in for it, smirking, he rolled his eyes when Anthony talked about how rich and powerful is, “We get it. you’re rich and your powerful now, raise up your hands, we have to check you don’t have any weapons in”

[LunaticLeviTheSecond]

As Anteater kept talking and Jacob wasn’t stopping him, Reece looked at Jacob with pleading eyes but Jacob didn’t look at him at that moment to catch it.
However, after a few seconds Jacob did say something which made Reece smile. After Jacob finished Reece had a few of his own remarks.
“You’re not turning preacher on us are ya, Anteater?” Reece chuckled as he said “You know you spewed so much sh*t in those mouth I thought I was watching an asshole at work, but I realized I was watching an asshole in a different sense of the word. Geez if I wanted to listen to shit like this I’d go to church or to a teacher. What happened Ant, you wanted to suck up to a teacher telling him how you’ll reflect in detention and think about what you’ve done except you killed him so when you couldn’t have told him you had to shit those words out into our ears? Stopp your yapping and sucking up, Mr. Albert can’t hear you from here so you’re doing it for nothing. Let’s just get back to the classroom and get our phones back so we can call some people who won’t questimate and find out what really happened. Come on, there must be some more proof we’re not in possession of. Let’s go back, the longer we stay here the more suspicious we look to the others.”

It was not time to be turning against each other and the group had come to terms with that. Not after of course suspecting Fern, Willow and the biggest suspect Anthony, but with Hazel ever peace maker tendencies the group had settled, it was not time for disagreements between each other, they needed to build trust between each other and what better way was it than sharing secrets?

After all they had decided- what happens in detention will stay in detention, no one was allowed to tell anyone what had happened in detention. After all, they had come to a solid agreement – whatever went down in detention was strictly for their ears only. They were a united front, and no one was allowed to spill the beans about what had gone down. It was like an unspoken rule they all understood, a pact that bound them together.

Most of them might have not liked each other, still did not like each other but if they wanted to survive as a group, they had to expose themselves to the group- keep the suspection out and make themselves vulnerable. But there is nothing people hate more than vulnerability.

Alissa was definitely not in for sharing secrets; she had way too many secrets, and for many good reasons, Alissa did not know where to start or end. Well, she knew where not to start or end; she could not tell them her most important secret and what she had been working on for a while with Dior, so she smiled, a little uncomfortable as she waited for someone to go first.

No one went

How cute, she looked at Jacob, who looked away from her. Everyone else in the room had different reactions-fear, the ‘im not doing this’ look and nervousness. Alissa sighed, she guesses she would have to go first if she wanted this to work- but why should she go first just so this can work? Its not like she was the one to suggest this. She sighed, whatever, they were right- they needed to be a team right now and then go back to forgetting each other in a week- after all they were going to be to busy with school as seniors.

Alissa coughed as she sat on a desk, “Well,” She began turning attention to herself. She put her face on her lap as everyone turned to her- embarrassed, she was used to getting attention but this was way different and they were all very near her not watching from afar. She was going to start with the reason she had been acting a little bit ill since the beginning of detention, but she felt it would be better to save that for last. “I may or may not be closer to Dior than I should,” With the confused faces, Alissa rolled her eyes.

Maybe she should clarify after all, everything that happens in detention will stay in detention right? “Me and Dior are girlfriend girlfriend and not in a way we’re friends but in a way that we are dating,” Alissa said. She had no idea if this was not the way she should have started, she felt bad about this, outing herself and outing Dior when she knows Dior was not ready but she could not expose the second secret right now or their plans, besides Dior had promised her that they would be out soon as a couple to everyone else and she guesses that Jacob has the right to know that she was dating his ex girlfriend- technically, Dior was her girlfriend first but that was a topic for another discusion.

Jenny sat there, watching Alissa nervously as she revealed her secret. Her heart was racing, and she felt a lump form in her throat. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to share her own secrets yet, and the thought of everyone in the room knowing her deepest, darkest thoughts made her feel uneasy. Jenny admired Alissa’s bravery but knew that she wasn’t quite ready to take the same risk. For now, she was content to sit and listen to everyone else’s secrets, keeping her own close to her heart.

And even though Alissa was a b•tch most of the time, she was brave. Jenny couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of respect for Alissa in that moment. Even though Alissa could be mean and dismissive and… a lot of other things at times, there was no denying her bravery for going first. It was a brave move to reveal such a personal secret in front of a group of people, especially something like that infront of twin 2, even if they were all in detention together. Jenny couldn’t do it. Just… not quite yet.

[LunaticLeviTheSecond]

Reece was building up the courage to speak out, but didn’t want to share why he was in detention becuase another person is involved and he didn’t want to tell a secret if she doesn’t want it either. But Alissa spoke up. Reece looked at her, intrigued to see if she’ll tell that most of her stories are fake because half the students probably know that already and it’s not much of a secret. When she revealed Dior and her are dating Reece should’ve been distraught his ex is dating the girl he hates, but he hates both of them so instead he gave a sly smile and calmly asked. “Well Alissa, I can’t say I’m surpised. How’s it feel dating her knowing she’s slept with half the football team? Or how’s it feel knocking boots with my sloppy seconds?” He bit his lip to stop himself from smiling to not seem like a sadistic piece of shoot since most people here except Jenny don’t know why he hates her. Then with a fake expression of surprise continued “Or better yet, how’s it feel being with a girl your brother used to date. Isn’t that almost incestuous? Don’t you feel dirty?” He put on an expressionless poker face and continued. “It makes sense you’d pick Dior, after all it’s easy to bag her. I mean she only does whatever’s popular. I mean Chase is popular she did him, I’m popular and she did me, your brother used to be on the team as well and she did him too … And now she’s doing you. Now that article makes sense. Me and Dior break up, she begins dating you and suddenly there’s an article slamming me. At least when Case, me and Jacob dated her she didn’t use us to get whatever she wanted published in the newspapers.” He turned to everybody else. “I mean you all read that article about me didn’t you? Didn’t you find it odd how it was published almost immediately after me and Dior broke up? If that article was true and not just Dior’s pitty little attempt at revenge, I’d be out of the team by now.” He turned back to Alissa and asked “How will Dior feel after she finds out you outed her though? She probably didn’t OK this.” Reece said “Maybe she’ll start a rumor, that’s what she did the last time somebody broke up with her, and she’ll maybe tell everybody you use drugs to enhance your skills like the two of you lied about me. Meanwhile the only drugs I ever took were the ones that got me into this whole mess. And that was just a little bit of green.” Reece stared daggers at Alissa but that was mainly because he didn’t want to be like Alissa and out the person he smoked the join with by glancing their way, so he tried hard not to look at them and look at Alissa instead.

ORP: My god, did I make my guy a savage

You know Alissa should have been sad, not get angry, not do anything, right now she had a dead teacher to worry about, another secret about and she did not have her phone with her but she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Reece words and besides she could blame it on the hormone. “Reece please, she did not use either of you because none of you were useful, you guys were just good enough for her to keep up with her reputation- date the hottest guy at the time and have no one question her relationship with me, none of you were meaningful to her and that is why she was still with me while she was with you guys with my fcking permission.” Alissa said bringing her head up. She had just came out, well not stated her sexuality leaving it vague- but she was defiantly a lesbian or more Dior sexual, she does not think she could love anyone other than Dior. “And besides I was not completely off with the article was I? I’ve seen the people you hang out with and Dior did not tell me to post anything, she suggest it, told me something and shrugged. Did not force me to post anything and told not to post it actually because she had another way of ruining you, of fcking exposing you but I was not that mean.” Alissa said standing up from the desk, “I could have fcking told the world that you are fcking obsessed with my other best friend , what your fcking parents do and who that fcking loser no one but jocks care about Chase does.” Alissa said crossing her arms. The other best friend being in reference to Hazel, the stoner and another reason Alissa published the drug accusations, she wanted the jock far away from her friend and well if there was news that he was somewhat associating with drugs and what stoners did then well.

Yes, like Alissa said, she knew a lot of things especially since her investigation. She knew a lot of ways to ruin people, but she was a good person, a really good fcking person and that was why she did not say the person who she was referring to as best friend, well of course Hazel and Reece would get it, but everyone else in this class had no idea who this other best friend was because Alissa hanged out with many people, even those she did not really consider friends.

“You think you fcking know everything about me, about my fcking life and about my relationship with Dior but you don’t, me on the other hand i actually a know a fcking lot of things about you Reece Saige. I know you have to suck up the other jocks because you are such a failure of a jock that if not for Dior having sympathy you actually would have been the most unpopular jock. Locker rooms, girls talk, and if you heard what they had to say about you and what a lot of other people who are not girls i’ve ease dropped on said about you. You have to fcking go to detention every single school year because it’s the only thing keeping you relevant and giving you some sort of personality and popularity. The jock label not doing everything for you so you need detention, but at the end of the, spice, you are just an attention seeker.”

Alissa had just said the hardest thing in her life possibly, her relationship with Dior that she had tried to keep a secret for Dior’s sake, coming out was not easy especially in 2001 when she was supposed to be the school’s golden girl, when she was supposed to be a princess, when even her parents did not know and especially since the girl she was dating was her brother’s ex who she was still in a relationship with while they had their situationship- no fcking involved, only a small number of kisses, was their rule. She really did not have time for the nice girl act if reece was going to be so bitter about that article like boooho move on, we get it, you didn’t do drugs, at the end of the day Alissa talked to the coach and made sure you were still on the team no?

Maybe Alissa should have asked the coach to drop him off the team if he was going to be like this. Ugh, she sat back on the desk, face on her lap as her body started to malfunction again.

When Jacob watched Alissa exposed her relationship with Dior, he looked taken a back. Especially since Dior was the same girl who dumped him, and moved on like he was nothing. Ok, see he was not mad at Dior when that happened, he knew Dior only dated for popularity and if she was bored- Alissa had told him that when he flirted with Dior an expression he could not identify at first- but now it was definitely either anger or jealousy at him. When Alissa had gotten the news that he broke up with Dior, she was a little to happy for his liking and now he knows the reason. He does not know whether to feel betrayed, angry or all two but what he does know is that he was going to support his lesbian? sister when she decides to come out to their parents, because that was def going to be an event especially if she tells them that she has a gf and the gf is Dior, his ex.

Right, did Jacob say it before? His own twin was dating his ex and was in a relationship with her while they were together. His own twin who he could never be better than was in even better at keeping a girl than him, even if her relationship with Dior with all the dating he has seen going on (From what he remembered Alissa was seeing somebody too) could still keep a girl and the girl could still love her more than she would ever love him. “You’re dating my ex,” He said out loud blinking, taken a step back. Alissa looked like she was going to say something to him when Reece started talking. Started insulting her relationship with Dior, and though Jacob was angry with Alissa, he knew that none of it was true- the only person Dior had ever use was them, the men she dates not Alissa. Though Dior could be selfish, she was always a little more selfless when it came to Alissa, there were at times that Dior would drop things that would make her even more popular and famous irl being a nepo child, if Alissa asked her.

Dior had even asked her dad to fund things for Alissa, things that she did not want to tell their parents of but he had heard Dior and Alissa talking about- the whole ‘do this for me, write newspapers for me, fund this for me, help me make a video’ whatever thing was mutual, their relationship was mutual and at first Jacob had thought it was just them being best friends but he knows better now, he knows that he will be better than Alissa and Alissa was a fcking traitor. But he guesses, as Alissa and Reece were arguing, if he wanted to keep the peace he should expose something. He had two things to say but he would go with the least likely to blow as he patted his buzzcut he looked at Alissa as everyone gave him a look.

“Alissa,” He began, “I’ve always been just a lil” More than a little, “Jealous of you and I love you I really do even though you’re a traitor but i’ve also always hated you a little bit because I could never fcking be you even though you’re the reason i’m even popular. Remember when I said that I cut my hair because I was sick and i did not want it to spread and the doctor said that shaving my hair would have been a good option and when it grows back everything would be ok?” Yes that what Jacob had told the school when they asked why he had gotten a buzzcut, he had lied that it was for a sickness, “It was because i wanted to separate myself from you, find my own identity. I hated how similar we were and the fact we were both blonde and when everyone asked about me, it was ‘Alissa’s twin’ and never just Jacob. I wanted to be just Jacob so i told the school i had a serious illness cut my hair and dyed it just so i could be a different twin.”

“Of course she didn’t use any of us, we used her. I don’t believe that you give Dior permission who to sleep with, she’s a slut, she’ll sleep with anybody for good rep.” Reece said. “You can say Chase is a nobody, but that won’t make it true, because he’s just as popular as you are, girls want to be with him and guys want to be him, meanwhile a big part of your friends only pretend to like you so their name won’t be smeared through your gossip column. You already said yourself Chase was handsome and popular and that’s why Dior dated him, except she couldn’t take being his side piece and left him. He only ever used her for s*x and he’s been sleeping with other girls while ‘dating’ Dior. Then she only dated me becuase she wanted to still date somebody popular and hadsome while trying to make Chase jealous. I knew it from the second she approached me out of the blue, and I used her. Dior wasn’t the only one sleeping with other people when dating me or Chase, so don’t try to hurt my feelings becuase none of us had any for Dior.”
Reece took a few breaths after talking a while, and he was ready to keep silent, but something else Alissa said crossed his mind. His expression turned to confusion and disgust.

“Did you say that you allowed Dior to date everybody she’s dated? And that you dated her while she was dating your brother?” The implication of the sentence made him almost dry heave.
“You were having sex with your girlfriend and all the while she was not only sleeping with your brother, but you allowed her to do that? You are a disgusting , incestuous, grosse little girl. It’s almost as if you slept with your own brother … And worse, you could’ve stopped it by telling her, hey don’t sleep with my brother while I’m sleeping with you,that’s weird and grose, instead you ALLOWED it. How disgusting are you? I’m surprised anybody but Dior, who’d sleep with anything with a pulse if she gets something in return, would ever want to sleep with you again. It kind of works in your favor if you want to sleep only with her for the rest of your life.” He sighed.

"Well, I don’t give a f*ck if you do out everything you know about me, my stepdad or my crush. I might not know anything about you except the obvious, but I really don’t want to know anything becuase if it’s anything close to what you told me until now, I might chunder. And I don’t care if you know things about me, it’s not like I’ve got secrets as disturbing as yours are. But it is true that knowledge is power … But my stepfather? He has more power than your knowledge can obtain, and with this power he can learn everything about you, in ways and means you didn’t think possible, and he can learn a heck of a lot more than you know about me … If you want to threathen me with things you know about me, well maybe you don’t know anything about me if you didn’t see my stepfather as a threat to you.

Alissa rolled her eyes at him calling Dior a slt, funny enough from a jock and besides if Reece was actually delusional enough to think that Chase was as popular as her that was him. No one in this school was as popular as her and that was a fact, no one cared if they were mean to Chase- well by no one meaning preps, nerds liked him, people liked him just like they liked her but Chase was def not as popular as her- there was a social thing in the school, something that when she’s bored Alissa checks to make sure dior is still at the top. “Sltshame her all you want go for it, the thing is that you still went with her when no one told you, did she beg you to be with her? no was she on her knees? if shes a slt what does that make you? Easy, at the end of the day it’s not like she slept with you, she’s a slt this she’s a slt that booho and at the end of the day you’re a nobody. An attention seeker who gets in detention just to keep yourself popular, so whatever you say about Dior is nothing because at least Dior is somebody, at least Dior’s parents like her and she has a good relationship with her parents unlike you.” Alissa said laughing, “I never called Chase handsome too, popular yes handsome is funny tho. he’s not ugly, maybe he’s handsome to everyone else but he’s ok that’s it. But Chase is that and what are you? Reece what are you?” Alissa said with a smile, “If Chase is handsome and popular and say what are you? A freak obsessed with my friend? She does not like you on the other hand she likes Jacob,” Alissa was not sure how truee that was. Whether Hazel still had feelings for Jacob or not- from what they were in the morning it seemed to be it, “And that was why you had to keep it a secret from the school and could not tell her. You are not a Chase, you are a not Jacob, you are not even the 10th most popular jock or top 50 most popular people in the school.” Not that Alissa cared much about popularity like some people but whatever, “You are just Reece Saige, a guy from a broken home who slutshames women yet also has flings of his own, tries so hard to be popular and to be Chase and is an @ssholee that’s it. Like ok, you hate me I hate you, you hate Dior ok we get it now move on. Everyday it’s omg you posted that article omg you post fake news bro move on.” Alissa said running a hand through her hair, “And besides if Dior is a slt what does that make Chase? Do you honestly think that Dior cried because Chase slept around? He can sleep around with 500 women keep getting stds and nobody would care, the only thing that will care is his dck”

"You’re such a wuss, I thought a jock known for going to detention and pulling pranks will be ok with a lil jokey jokey but it seems that you hate when things are thrown back at you. I am even the reason you are still in that fcking sports you like so much i talked to the coach loser, " If Reece had just insulted her she would have rolled her eyes said ok, thank you anyways but there was no way a bottom of a barrel man was going to talk to Dior in such a manner. She was tired of men with their egos who thinks that calling women slts while being the way they are was fun. Dior did not use anyone for sx, If there was one thing thing Dior did not do was sleep around- she dated around but sleeping around was definitely not Dior. “‘Dior wasn’t the one sleepin with other people while with me’ She was literally sleeping with me tho? And besides she never slept with you or chase, maybe that’s what you told everyone lese but she wasn’t. Dior dates around, I date sometimes too, and that’s because none of us are ready to come out, please if you want to hurt me when it comes to Dior calling her what she’s not is doing the deed, Dior never slept with Jacob, she left with you she never slept chase and Dior and Jacob never had a relationship- a situationship i told Dior to back off Jacob she listened jacob flirted with her and then he got annoying so I told her it was ok for them to date but she will broke up in one day they did. You really think I would allow my gf to sleep around?” Alissa laughed, “Jocks trulty have the lowest iq in the school.”

“Look Reece idgaf about your stepfather, I think you’re actually forgetting something about me- I am not in the same position as you, I have influence, I have Dior and her father and I have my parents, I have a lot of people on my side and besides if he tries anything I know a way to get out of sht, tha’ts what i’ve been doing,” And triyng to make sure that this school does not ruin you guys. Alissa and Dior have a reason for a lot of things they did, and it has to do with what they find out about the school, honestly she wished that it was Reece who died and not their teacher, she actually needed Mr.Albert- the school needed him but who needed Reece? Like no one, even his mother did not care about him, his stepfather hated his guts, Jacob does not care about him and he’s just a casual friend to Jacob.

Talking about Jacob, Alissa gave him a look when he revealed his secret sitting down, she never would have thouht to think that Jacob was jealous of her. They were twins, Jacob was himself and Alissa was herself, Jacob was liked by a lot of people just like Alissa, and he was way more sociable than her because of his behavior. Alissa was the one that should be jealous of Jacob- he is a man and was able to safetly say he and Dior had a thing, he is straight as it goes and can always be out happy in a relationship and what does Alissa have? Popularity? something only Dior cares about? Alissa also had to fcking find a way to save the school, save Dior and her brother and Jacob is not burdened by anything.

But she understands him

Being a twin is not easy, she gets that and she gets that he wanted her own identity outside of her and that she had no right to be angry especially since she was with Dior knowing Jacob liked her. Alissa liked her first but that did not matter, she should have told Jacob about her relationship with Dior instead of letting him find out now. “Jacob,” Alissa, “I love you,” Was all she said. “I’m so sorry you felt that way and i’m sorry for making you feel that way,” She stood silent, she would have gave him a hug but right now it did not feel like the time for twin reconciliation. “I hate you a little bit too if it makes you feel better, i’ve always hated how you were so opened about yourself how you could just be you, so i guess we both hate each other” Alissa gave him a smile which he returned.

Anthony shifted uncomfortably in his seat as Reece and Alissa’s argument grew more heated. He didn’t particularly like either of them, but he had to admit that Alissa’s argument made more sense. Reece had accused Anthony of murder, and while Anthony had been put on the back burner, the accusation still lingered in the back of his mind. When Alissa brought up the fact that she was dating Reece’s ex, Anthony had to suppress a smirk. It was funny to watch Reece get worked up like this, even though he knew he shouldn’t find amusement in their drama. He watched as Reece huffed and puffed, and was grateful that the argument was ending…?

But when Alissa revealed that she was gay, Anthony was surprised. It was 2001, after all, and being openly gay wasn’t as widely accepted. He didn’t even know a queer person. He didn’t know how to react, but he knew that he didn’t want to be seen as intolerant or rude. So he put on a smile and said, “That’s great, Alissa. I’m happy for you.” He whispered, probably only catching the ears of the person next to him. It wasn’t much, but it was better than saying nothing at all.

Anthony’s discomfort turned to anger as he heard Reece’s derogatory words about Dior. He wanted to speak up and defend her, but he knew it would only earn him Reece’s ire. Instead, he glared at Reece and shook his head in disbelief.

The more Reece spoke, the more Anthony felt a pit in his stomach. He couldn’t believe that someone could be so callous and cruel towards another person. The fact that Reece and his friends had used Dior only made Anthony dislike them even more. When Reece mentioned that Dior had only dated him to make Chase jealous, Anthony wanted to roll his eyes. It was clear that Reece was just trying to make himself sound better by blaming Dior for everything. In reality, it was Reece and his friends who had used Dior for their own gain.

---

Anthony sat nervously in detention, two other students who had already spoken up about their secrets. He knew he had to find the courage to share his own truth, but the words caught in his throat. He thought about his brother Dylan, who had disappeared without a trace eight years ago. Anthony was convinced that something more sinister had happened to him, but he had kept his suspicions to himself until now.

Taking a deep breath, Anthony finally spoke up. “I have something to say too,” he said, his voice shaking slightly. “My brother Dylan disappeared ten years ago, and I think something happened to him that we don’t know about.” The other students looked at him. Encouraged, he continued. “I don’t believe that he was just here one day gone the next with no trace. I think something bad happened to him, and I want to find out what it was.” As he spoke, Anthony felt a weight lifting from his shoulders. He was no longer holding his fears and suspicions inside, and he knew that he was not alone in his concerns. Or, at least his first biggest fear.

Alissa had decided to ignore Reece, he was too annoying and was causing stress to her head. Any other day she might have gone at it with him in private, because she does have a reputation to uphold but right now what did reputation matter? But whatever, Alissa was feeling a bit under the weather and arguing with little boys such as Reece would only get to her head more. Especially since she wanted this to move forward, forget about her relationship with Dior, she looked at Hazel giving her a sorry look for not telling her earlier after all Hazel was part of her friend group- her real friend group.

Dior did not like Hazel much that was true, but Alissa was not ordered around by Dior- Alissa liked Hazel and thought she was sweet and so she will be friend her, Alissa did not like a lot of Dior friends and she never made a complain to Dior about it and so it was whatever- ok that was a bit of a lie she did complain about some of her friends but she never told Dior to unfriend them just like Dior does not do- sure dior suggests it but she knows better than to tell Alissa who she can or cannot be friends with when its due to ‘social groups’ Alissa was a floater- stuff like that does not matter to her. it should not matter to anyone but knowing Dior’s history, Alissa understands why. Dior was a reborn prep through and through and she will make sure to stick to that image, hopefully second quarter of school she loosens up a little. Alissa did want her girlfriend to get along with her friends- there was def not going to be some kind of friendship between Jacob and Dior again but she does hope they could tolerate each other.

She was shocked at Anthony’s words, appreciated it but she did gotta admit that she did give him a blank stare when he said ‘that’s great. Alissa. I’m happy for you’ because really what was there to be happy about right now, but she did appreciate him lightening the mood. Maybe, when they get out of detention they could be friends, he seemed like a pretty chill guy- annoying yes but chill. and besides Alissa had to make sure he does not blabber this to people, there was no way she was letting her secret go out.

She sat down on a desk, away from her brother and away from Reece and a little closer to hazel and Anthony as she raised her brows to hear what he was going to say. Alissa did not know much about Anthony only his family so she was curious on what he will say. When Anthony talked about his brother disappearing, Alissa wanted to ask are you sure he didn’t run away or was k!lled? but she did not want to make Anthony feel bad, “I’m sure he’s there somewhere right.” Alissa said looking through the room, “Maybe when the police comes and deals with Mr.Albert situation it could lead to finding your brother.” Alissa said standing up trying to hide the discomfort that was not in her legs, “do you believe that he could still be alive?”

Hazel both loathed and sympathized with the still nature of the once energized classroom. The quiet atmosphere was peaceful to those grieving from the shock, but, there was an awful lurking tension resting like a fog in the air. At heart, Hazel was like an open book, with no stone left unturned. But, even Hazel has secrets of her own. Of course, she never wanted her secrets to come into the light, mostly in fear of getting her selfishness exposed. They’d have to provide a damn good reason to get her to break and the reason was simple, she couldn’t bear the sympathy, real or fake.

They couldn’t know the truth

Her eyes followed Alissa, who’s braveness was inspiring at first. She was struggling to get her message across, but when her words touched Hazel’s ears, she was left baffled. Immediately, Hazel shot a glance at Jacob, who looked as shocked as she was. Despite everything, Hazel felt bad for him and sadness began to fill her conscious. At this point, she had been staring at him and nervously looked away, her heart beating anxiously in her chest. Hazel had no issue with Alissa’s identity, but the whole situation did not sit right with her.

Reece’s inhumane comments towards Dior made Hazel immensely uncomfortable. She hated the way he spoke to both of them, even if he was wronged, his words were a low blow. Both argued back and forth, killing each other with their glares. Hazel hadn’t been dragged into the lion’s den yet, but the daggers they aimed at each other pierced through Hazel’s heart like she was caught in the blaze.

“I could have fcking told the world that you are fcking obsessed with my other best friend". The color drained from her already pale face as she was thrown precariously into the spotlight. The gasp she let out allowed everyone else in the room to know that Alissa was referencing her. Hazel was met with an endless crowd of stares. The varied expressions among the stares made her stomach turn in knots, forcing her to swallow the bitter acid in her mouth. Hazel had genuinely not known about this nor did she know how to feel about it.

As she glanced over at Jacob again, he looked straight ahead towards Alissa and began his confession of love and hatred. They never seemed to get along at all times but Hazel never knew how deep it ran. Apparently it was mutual between the two, but the sympathy towards Jacob persisted. She hoped he knew that she always had thought of him as his own person.

Alissa continued, "If Chase is handsome and popular and say what are you? A freak obsessed with my friend? She does not like you on the other hand she likes Jacob”. Hazel looked away from prying eyes as she felt a mild warmth on her face. From both shock and the thought of her liking him, she was sure that he face was begining to turn red. The question remained. Did she still like him after all this time? Hazel had no immediate answer. Alissa sat closer to her while Hazel still remained taken aback. She gave a shy smile towards Alissa, congratulating her for coming out. She had been watching her closely since detention started, and something seemed off, like she was in pain. Hazel asked quietly, “Hey, you feeling ok?”.

Hazel’s secret lingered in the back of her mind, it was going to be tough to let the truth roam free. And she didn’t know if she was ready for that.

Anthony’s heart sank as he heard Alissa’s question. It had been eight long years since his brother disappeared and he knew that time was not on their side when it came to investigations. He looked at Alissa with a mix of sadness and frustration.

“I wish I could say for sure, but the truth is, I don’t know,” Anthony replied, his voice laced with emotion. “The police did everything they could at the time, apparently, but they never found any leads. As time goes by, it’s only become harder to hold onto hope.” Anthony took a deep breath before continuing. “But I do know that my brother would never just run away. He had his whole life ahead of him and he had plans. Something happened to him, and I just want to know what it was.”

He looked around the room, trying to compose himself. “I appreciate your optimism, Alissa. And I do hope that the police can find some answers. But the reality is, every day that goes by makes it less and less likely that my brother will come home… alive.” Anthony sighed, still feeling the weight of the past eight years on his shoulders again. “I’ve tried to solve it on my own,” he admitted, feeling a twinge of embarrassment. “I’ve followed every lead, no matter how small. But every time I get my hopes up, it turns out to be a dead end. It’s frustrating, and sometimes I feel silly for even trying.” It broke him to say, and made it seem like he was giving up on Dylan, but it was the truth. Not all the time, but some of it. That’s why he said it.

Reece wanted to say something back to Alissa, insult her even more, but he was tired of it becuase she was never going to realize that her actions and hurting people around her. She’ll have her commupance. Even though Reece doesn’t believe karma necesarrily exists, he knew that she won’t be able to go to college on a Journalism scholarship because for that you’d need to have real sources and not gossip in your columns, so she’s kissing her money bye bye becuase she’ll probably end up having to cash up for college while he can still get in with a football scholarship.
Not realizing who she hurt was her speciality because Reece was the one who turned to Jacob when he realized how such news must’ve affected him. Ignoring her with the satisfaction of the future crushing her, he turned to Jacob and asked. “Are you all right? You know, your sister can be really inconsiderate of how she communicates certain events, be it lies or the truth. I know the way she told it must’ve been heavy on you, so if you’re angry, confused or feeling any emotions right now, feel free to show it out, okay? Do you need a hug buddy?” Asked Reece. Ironic how he always liked people surrounding Alissa, they were all the best people he’s ever met, while she was the worst. It’s almost like she’s surrounding herself with people better than herself to continue this facade of being a good person herself. He always knew the ‘friend’ she kept mentioning, the one he had a crush on, was too good for him. That’s probably why he liked her so much … So knowing that she likes Jacob didn’t hurt him becuase he felt she deserves somebody smarter and better than himself, which Jacob was. He just wished she’d come to her sense about Alissa.
