Episode 2

‘So, Sybil, how are you liking school so far?’ asked Anna, walking to her next class with Sybil.

‘It’s school. What am I supposed to like?’ bluntly replied Sybil, holding her books under her arm.

‘Fair enough.’

They continued to silently walk down the corridordor, listening to each other step out of time.

‘Do you have any friends?’ asked Sybil, breaking the silence.

‘I have you,’ replied Anna.

‘Do you have any others?’

‘Well, yeah. I’m good friends with Heidi.’

‘Oh. Why are you not hanging out with her, then?’

‘I’m with you.’

‘But she’s your best friend, is she not?’

‘Yes, she is.’

‘Would she not want to hang out with you?’

‘I suppose she would. But it’s fine, she’s with Jake anyway.’

‘Who’s he?’

‘My one and only,’ sighed Anna, putting her hand on her heart.

‘That doesn’t answer my question.’

‘Oh, right, sorry. He’s the guy walking beside that really tall dude.’

‘Oh…and you have a crush on him?’

‘It’s more like I want him to be my fiancé.’

‘That’s never going to happen.’

‘How do you know?’

‘He doesn’t like you. He barely notices you.’

‘How would you know? You’ve just joined our class.’

‘I can tell. When was the last time you and him actually made eye contact?’

‘I don’t recall ever…making…eye contact…’

‘Exactly. Point proven.’

She’s brutally honest. I suppose I can trust her then.

As they continued to walk down the hall, Anna tried to find Jake in front of her but there was no sign of him. Heidi was nowhere to be seen either.

That’s strange. I swear they were here a minute ago.

As Anna continued to walk to class, she heard a strange noise coming from the janitor’s closet. It sounded like kissing. Anna stopped walking and put her ear up to the door. She wanted to make sure she actually heard kissing. After waiting for two seconds, she was able to confirm that it was kissing.

As Anna continued to listen to the kissing through the door, she saw that Sybil was also listening through the door. She did not seem to like the sound of the kissing because her face stared down the hall in utter discuss.

‘You’re such a good kisser, babe,’ lovingly said the boy.

He sounds like Jake.

‘You’re the only one that will ever get these kisses, prince,’ replied the girl in a childish tone.

Wait, is that…Heidi? Heidi!

‘That’s Heidi,’ muttered Anna under her breath.

Anna took her ear off the door and stood in silence looking at the floor. She then grabbed the handle of the door while Sybil stared at her in confusion. Anna slowly opened the door, as quietly as possible, and, as soon as she had slightly opened the door, she barged into the room to see if Heidi and Jake were actually making out in the room.

Anna slowly raised her head and looked up at the two people who were making out. It was just as she had feared, Heidi and Jake were both standing closely together and were holding onto each other. They were both staring at Anna in fear, shock and annoyance. As they looked at her, Anna slowly walked into the room, still staring at Anna and Jake, and she stopped when she was right in front of them. Sybil was still standing outside the door, watching all the drama unfold.

‘Anna, it’s not what you think,’ said Heidi, trying to shake off the fact that her and Jake were both making out.

‘How could you do this, Heidi,’ numbly asked Anna.

‘Anna, let me expla-’

‘There’s nothing to explain, Heidi,’ interrupted Anna. ‘I’ve heard enough from you. All I need to know is why you did this. Why did you go and kiss Jake when you knew that I loved him?’

‘It’s not a big deal, Anna,’ brushed off Jake.

‘What would you know about stuff like this, Jake?’ asked Anna, her voice starting to raise. ‘Girls’ literally chase after you all the time. How would you know what it’s like to get your heart broken by your best friend?’ Jake looked at the floor and stood in silence after Anna said that. ‘Also, Heidi, you knew how obsessed I was about him. You knew how much I love him and yet you still went behind my back and kissed him. What a good best friend you are. Very loyal.’

‘But, Sybil, you said that you didn’t care if he got with another girl,’ said Heidi, sounding sorry.

‘Did you even listen to me, Heidi?’ asked Anna, sounding mad. ‘I did say that but I said that I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t my friend or someone who knew about how much I loved him. If it’s someone who has absolutely no idea about my big fat crush on him then I really don’t care!’

‘I’m sorry. I really am, Anna.’

‘It’s too late for apologies, Heidi. This is the end of our friendship. Go live a happy life with your new boyfriend, backstabber.’

Anna walked out of the room emotionless. Sybil stood back and watched her walk out of the room. As soon as she exited the room, she immediately started running off to the bathroom, crying. Sybil watched her run off and looked back at Heidi and Jake. She gave both of them a cold stare.

‘What?’ asked Jake. ‘What do you want from us, newbie?’

‘Hope you both have a good sleep tonight,’ creepily said Sybil, staring coldly at Heidi and Jake. They both got a shiver down their spines from her stare.

‘W-what?’ stammered Heidi sounding scared.

Sybil stopped looking at them, closed the door again and walked down the corridor to the girls’ bathrooms.

‘Why was she wishing us a good sleep?’ asked Heidi, sounding scared.

‘Don’t worry about it, princess. Why don’t you stay at my place tonight? I’ll sleep on the floor and you’ll be safe,’ said Jake.

Heidi nodded her head and went to hug Jake. He held her in her arms and, when she wasn’t looking at him, gave the door a scared stare. He was scared with what Sybil said as well.

‘They may not have a good sleep but I will,’ muttered Sybil under her breath, beginning to smile. ‘Just wait, Heidi and Jake, this will be Anna’s way of revenge. It will just be my body doing it.’
