Her death
[Rivergarden National High School]
Scarlet Mendoza
Christine! It's almost sundown. We still have group study at Jana's house. By the way, where's Jana?
Christine Smith
Uhm... Actually, Jana said she wanted to talk to you.
Scarlet Mendoza
Oh, why now? Where is she?
Christine Smith
She's at the school building, at the rooftop. She said you should hurry there.
Scarlet Mendoza
Okay! You can go home first. You can ask for your mother's permission and we'll meet at her house, then.
[Scarlet then went to the rooftop as Christine said.]
Scarlet Mendoza
(I wonder what she wants to talk about. I'm sure it's important but why now when the school's about to close?)
[Scarlet arrived at the rooftop. She saw Jana who was leaning on the railings, her back facing Scarlet.]
Scarlet Mendoza
Jana!.... What did you want to talk about. It seemed urgent.
Jana Rondez
What took you so long?
Scarlet Mendoza
Oh, sorry I was just...
[Jana straightened her back and turned to look at Scarlet straight in the eye.]
Jana Rondez
Must be nice...?
Scarlet Mendoza
H-huh? What do you mean?
Jana Rondez
That is for kissing my boyfriend! You b!tch!
[Scarlet's eyes widen upon what Jana has just said.]
Scarlet Mendoza
(No way... Did she see us?! Oh no, she must have misunderstoood! It was only an accident!)
Scarlet Mendoza
Jana no... You misunderstoood! It was only an accident! I-I just tripped when I was trying to reach a book at the library! Andrew happened to be there so he helped me.
[Scarlet was walking through the shelves at the library trying to look for a book to read. She saw an interesting one at the top shelf. She tried to reach up to it but it was way too high.]
Scarlet Mendoza
Ngh! Come ON...!
Scarlet Mendoza
(Ugh! Screw my short height. That book looks interesting though.)
[She continued to struggle trying to reach for the book. She lifted one of her legs and tip toed but her fingers just barely touched the book. All of a sudden, her one foot that was on the ground slipped and she almost fell when an arm circled her waist to catch her from falling.]
Andrew Parker
Whoa! You're heavy--
[Andrew held onto the shelf with his other hand just in time making them hit the shelf with Scarlet's back. Their eyes widen in shock when their lips almost touched.]
[At the same time, Jana was looking for Andrew when she came accross him hugging Scarlet. In her perspective, she only saw Andrew's back and his head close to Scarlet's. Jana immediately knew it was Scarlet because of her hair. Her eyes boiled in anger as tears started to fall from her eyes. She immediately left the library.]
[Scarlet covered her mouth and Andrew immediately retreated.]
Scarlet Mendoza
Oh my! I'm so sorry!
Andrew Parker
No no...I should be the one to say sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. Wait... You're Jana's friend right?
Scarlet Mendoza
Yeah... My name's Scarlet.
Scarlet Mendoza
Oh, you're Jana's boyfriend! It's nice to meet you! Jana has told me a lot about you.
Scarlet Mendoza
(I hope Jana didn't see us, she might misunderstand us. And she's quite the type to misunderstand situations easily.)
Andrew Parker
Oh, really? She's quite the talker isn't she. By the way, what were you desperately trying to reach? Is it something important?
Scarlet Mendoza
Well, I just saw that book up there that seemed to be out of place and it kinda looked interesting so I wanted to check it out. Since I still have free time.
Andrew Parker
Let me get it for you then.
Scarlet Mendoza
Wait... really?
Andrew Parker
Yeah... Since you're Jana's friend, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't help my girlfriend's friend.
[Andrew grabbed the small book and handed it to Scarlet.]
Scarlet Mendoza
I guess...
Andrew Parker
Well, I should be going now, nice knowin' ya!
Jana Rondez
Did you really think I would believe that stupid lie so you can continue to flirt with him?!
Scarlet Mendoza
Jana no! It's really not what you think! It's a misunderstandi--ack!
[Jana suddenly grabbed Scarlet by the neck and turned her to the railings. Christine who was secretly watching behind the door, immediately went out to stop Jana. She didn't thought it would come to this!]
Christine Smith
Jana! Stop it!
[Jana didn't seem to listen.]
Scarlet Mendoza
J-Jana...! I... C-can't breathe! Please--
[Jana only tightened her grip on her neck. The wind blew stronger and their hairs almost covered their faces.]
[Scarlet wondered what had gotten into Jana's mind. She noticed something wrong in her eyes. It felt odd, like she's not herself.]
[Christine tried to grab Jana's arm that was gripping Scarlet's neck but her arm was somehow too strong. Christine didn't thought it would come to this. She thought if she made Jana hate Scarlet, she'll be able to keep Jana to herself. She was jealous of how Jana always hangs out with Scarlet and when she saw her crying two days ago, she made it into an oppurtunity to finally separate them.]
Christine Smith
Jana please! That's enough!
Scarlet Mendoza
J-Jana...!
Jana Rondez
...You should just die...
[Both Christine and Scarlet were shocked upon hearing on what Jana just said in a whisper. Christine panicked and she tried to pull Jana's arm to let go of Scarlet. She finally managed to pull Jana's arm but she didn't expect that as soon Jana let go of her, Scarlet staggered back to fall from there.]
[Jana suddenly felt her head hurt and when she opened her eyes, she saw Scarlet reaching her arm to them. Jana immediately tried to reach to her.]
[Jana tried to catch Scarlet's hand but only managed to touch the tip of her fingers. Christine and Jana heard her scream but it suddenly stopped as Scarlet fell head first on the ground. They saw blood slowly coming out of her head. They rushed out of the school building and went to where Scarlet was. The sun has already set and it was starting to get dark. Nobody could've seen them as all the students and teachers had already left and the building they were on was at the back part of the school.]
Christine Smith
[covers mouth]....Oh my....!
[There they saw Scarlet lying on the ground eyes still wide open and blood seeping out of her head. They felt terrified upon seeing their friend like this.]
[Jana fell on her knees. She couldn't believe what she had just done. She tried to wake Scarlet up but she didn't move. She didn't know why she did that but just earlier she felt a strong urge to kill her.]
Jana Rondez
(Why... How did this happen?! What have I done?! Just earlier I felt the urge to strangle her. Sure I was mad at her for betraying me but I would never want to k-kill her! I just couldn't!)
Jana Rondez
Scarlet! Please wake up!
[Jana leaned to listen for her heartbeat but she couldn't hear anything. This only meant that she was gone... forever.]
[Tears fell from her eyes as she had lost a friend. Her hand went to close Scarlet's eyes. Jana then went to grab her phone from her pocket to call the police. Christine noticed this and here eyes widen.]
Christine Smith
What're you doing?!
Jana Rondez
I'm calling the police!
Christine Smith
Are you crazy?! You're gonna turn yourself in?!
Jana Rondez
No...! It was just an accident!
Christine Smith
And what are you gonna tell them, then? That you were mad at her and "accidentally" strangled her and pushed her off?!
Jana Rondez
Y-yes!... I-I mean...!
[Christine held Jana in the arms and looked straight into her eyes.]
Christine Smith
WE CAN'T GO TO PRISON!
Jana Rondez
Th-then, what're we supppsed to do?!
[Christine looked at Scarlet's dead body and then back at Jana.]
Christine Smith
We have to bury her...! There's a forest right behind this school. Get a shovel in the storehouse. I can at least carry her body.
[Jana was shocked on what Christine just said. Right now, Jana was more scared by Christine's look. The way Christine's face looked like right now was of like a different side of her that she has never seen before. But she didn't want to go to prison so she didn't have a choice but to oblige.]
[Jana went to the storehouse and used the keys she borrowed from his father who was the principal of this school. She took the shovel and went back to Christine who somehow managed to carry Scarlet's body into the forest.]
[Christine grabbed the shovel and started digging. Jana grew anxious as she was still not sure about this. When she looked at Christine who continued to dig, she felt terrified as she didn't know who this girl is anymore. Before, Christine was always quiet and shy, she never really talked to people until she met Jana and Scarlet. Jana never knew that Christine had this side of her.]
[It was now late at night when they have finally buried Scarlet's body in the forest just outside the school. They both sat on the ground exhausted on what they have just done.]
Christine Smith
Now nobody's gonna know we killed her. People would just think she went missing.
Jana Rondez
Christine, a-are you sure about this? Shouldn't we just tell them the truth and--
[Jana was interrupted when Christine suddenly held her shoulders.]
Christine Smith
You should be grateful I helped you hide the body! You're my best friend, Jana! I'm only doing this because I care about you! Actually, I'm even glad now that Scarlet is dead! Now no one's gonna ruin our friendship AHA-HA!
[Jana was terrified of Christine smile, her giggle made her flinch. She didn't thought Christine was like this! Jana pushed Christine's hands and stood to back away from her.]
Jana Rondez
I would never be friends with you! YOU PSYCHO!
[Jana went to walk away. She didn't want to be friends with a crazy girl like her!]
Christine Smith
If you don't want to be friends with me, then I guess I'll have to tell everyone that you killed your own friend and buried her here out of jealousy. I wonder how it'll turn out? [giggles]
Jana Rondez
Th-that's a lie!
Christine Smith
But part of it is true, isn't it?
[Jana couldn't argue with that.]
[Christine turned her head and looked at Jana with a creepy smile. Her eyes suddenly glowed in red.]
Christine Smith
...What're you gonna do my best friend?
[ A sudden loud thunder that made Jana flinch and fall to the ground. She immediately stood up and run.]
Jana Rondez
AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
