This is all MY fault, Paige muttered from her lips. She tugged at the black skirt she didn’t feel comfortable in. She was more of a plain tee and jeans girl. Along with keeping the black suit jacket tight around the white button up that was getting wet, added to her frustrations about the funeral of her roommate and friend, Hina. Although friends may be rather loose. When she started the year in a new suite at Challenger Boarding School. She had new roommates. She shared a room with Lindsey, the suite comprises three two man rooms. Gabby and Ellen shared the middle room. Hina and Erica shared the last room. Hina started off as a jerk. A bigot really, but over the years they met a mutual ground.
They weren’t the best of friends but she didn’t wish death on her suitemates. She thought about the last night she saw Hina alive. The fight they had over finding out that Hina went on a date with Scott a few weeks ago before Hina started dating Jefferey. She was pissed off that Hina would do that to Ellen, probably the sweetest girl in the whole boarding school. They went back and forth, until Hina left. The next day they heard about Hina and Jeffrey’s death. The fourth couple to be found dead around campus.
The police presence and strict curfews made going to class hectic and stressful. Parents were already in a panic due to the false promise of protection. The only thing saving the school was that the crimes were taking place off campus. No one knew how the couples got off campus with the cameras stationed everywhere. Making Hina’s death even more mysterious. “If I didn’t push her into leaving she may be alive.” Paige looked as they lowered the casket. She felt more guilt hearing Hina’s mother sobbing. The winds started picking up tousling her shoulder length, stacked hair.
