Chapter Two: Unknown email

"The ever arking story of James. Fact or Fiction. But what ever you do, dont end up like James." Mr. Tharp chuckles.

I look at Jackson sitting on the row below me. He was the hottest guy at this college. But when things got too boring, he would always make my day better. Me and Jackson are friends, and he always knows how to make a girl smile. Only if he knew I had feeling for him.

Mr.Tharp looks down at his watch."Just kidding. But it's getting close for you guys to go, so pack up your stuff and your free to leave."

I sigh. His stupid stories get even stupider each day. I put on some chapstick and pack my things. College can be tough is you have a stupid teacher. Especially Mr.Tharp.

My friend Alex stayed with me as we walked to our dorms. She nudged my arm and laughed. "I saw you goofing around with Jackson."

I roll my eyes. "He wont get the message. How can one man be so blind."

"What? That you love him?"

"Oh my gosh." I start to blush. I look be hind me and see him talking with HIS friends."Well duh! But dont say it so loud. He might hear us."

Alex laughed and looks behind her. She looks me in my eyes and shouted, "You love Jackson!"

My face grew red. "You did not just do that!"

"Oh I did just do that." She looks behind her and sees Jackson face red aswell. "Looks like lover boy has a crush on Lillian."

"No way!"

When we make it to my dorm, my heart settles and slows to relief from total embarrassment. "What the hell were you thinking Alex!"

"Look, you might not see it but I'm totally helping you."

"Or you could have messed up my chances with the man of my dreams."

"Lillian, look at me." Alex walk up close and looks at me with a serious expression. "You know that I would never do anything to hurt you, either its emotionally or physically."

I nod my head. "Alright. Now, let's just spend the rest of our day normally."

She nodded back.

For the rest of our day, we did nothing but study and be on our phones. Well, I was on my laptop. But then I get an unknown email. Without thinking about it, I open the email only to find a old news paper with the headlines of ☆School Boy Found Dead In Isolation Room☆."Hey Alex, come look at this."

Alex walks over, and when she reads the headline her jaw drops. "What the hell? Who sent you this? WHY... would they send you this?"

"I dont know. But I kinda want to know what it says."

"Go for it."

"Who would have knew death to a boy could happen in such a place. Well in West Wood Elementary had a death inside its walls. A boy by the name of James was found dead in the Isolation Room. The boy was believed to only be 9 years old. What a tragedy." The old paper moved on to another topic so quickly. With the little information in front of me, that boy never had his full story explained. But that doesn't explain why someone unknown would send me this.

"Damn." Alex started squinting to see if that was the end of it.

"They barely said anything about it.

Alex gasped. "Look at the picture!"

(Since the news paper was made in in the late 1800s, the only way they could have shown a picture to the people that would read the paper, was to draw a picture.)

I look at the drawing. It was what they believed to be the boy before, and another picture beside it was the boy after. "Even though its black and white, it's so....."

"Grusome." Alex looked at me just as I looked at her. She shook her head. "Ok, it's late at night and I'm not going to sleep knowing that a little boy was mutilated at his own school. Let's look at jelly things so I dont have nightmares."

I shake my head in agreement.
