Poster

I'm sure that it's Tyler but when I see the person, it's Ben.

"Hello, Sera."

"Benjamin. . ."

"Let me help you."

He offer his hand and I brush his hand away harshly, "I don't need your help."

I stand up and take the groceries with me then walk away but I can hear his footstep following me. I turn around and glared at him.

"What do you want?"

"I want to tell you something."

"I don't want to hear anything from you. You evil murderer."

"I'm not a murderer."

"You are. You killed Candace Roseschwarz."

"I didn't kill her, let me tell you something, Sera."

"No, I don't believe you."

I run away as fast as possible and I can see Noah. He's looking at me then he catch me.

"Sera? What happened?"

"I. . ."

"Hm?"

"I met Ben."

"Ben?"

"And he said that he want to tell me something, something about Candace. He said that he didn't kill Candace."

"He's lying, Sera."

"I know. I don't believe him. . "

"And he. . ." I pause, I'm about to tell him that I fell because of Ben but I decide not to tell him. "Nothing."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Let's go back then."

Before we start walking, Noah take the groceries from my hand and help me to carry it. We walk back to our dorm and while walking I can feel that my back is hurt. I try to bear the pain and once I'm back to my room, I open my clothes and I go to the mirror then I look at my back. I can see red scratches and it hurts. I open my suitcase and try to find if there's anything to treat the wound but I can't find anything. I can't tell Noah about this so I decided to bear the pain and put the groceries to its place. Then I make simple dinner which is deep fried chicken breast with mashed potato and barbeque sauce. I have dinner while watching some movies then suddenly I'm curious about the case of Candace Roseschwarz. I search about it and there are some articles but everything that the article said have been mentioned by Noah. Since I've got no additional information, after I finish my meal, I go to bed.

The next morning, I hear someone's knocking at my door and I open it. It's the girl that I met when I went to the tea shop.

"Good morning. . "

"Good morning, neighbor."

"May I help you with something?"

"I think you might want to see this. Please come with me."

She lead me to the billboard that's located at the ground floor and I see there's a big poster with my face on it and there's something at the bottom left side of the poster.

- If you see her, please take her to the Building B of the university and contact this number. +49 30 132xxx52

I immediately remove the poster from the billboard and tear it apart. I throw the poster to the trash can.

"Is that you?"

"Yes. . ."

"What have you done?"

"I did nothing. Do you have any idea who post that?"

"I don't know. I'm about to go jogging when suddenly I see that poster. I asked the receptionist and he told me that it's a girl who lives in 412. I realize that I live at the same floor as her so I'm curious and I went to your room."

"Thank you for telling me."

"By the way, Noah was here too and he saw the poster."

I don't have my phone with me so I run to my room to take my phone and call Noah. He answer the call,

"I'm gathering information about who post the poster. I've tried to call the number but no answer. I will try to call that number again later."

"Please tell me if you get something."

"I will."

I try to call the number and someone pick up. I can hear a male voice talking to me,

"Hello?"

"Who are you and why did you do that? What's your problem with me?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"That poster, your number was printed there and if it's not you, who else?"

"I really don't understand, what poster?"

"Don't joke around. It's a poster of my face."

"I don't know who you are and what poster but I didn't do anything. I'm a high school student and I have no idea the dorm that you're talking about."

"What? High school student?"

"Yes. I'm a high school student and I keep getting a call from unknown numbers. Everyone asked me about a poster but I really have no idea."

"You've been framed. I'm sorry to accuse you."

I hang up the phone then I call Noah. I told him everything about my conversation with the owner of the number and he told me to meet him at the university so I quickly take a shower, have breakfast and go to the university.

I see Noah's waiting for me at the lobby and I walk to him,

"Noah!"

"Sera."

"Any information?"

"I asked several people and one of them said that a man went to the billboard area and hang the poster. He's wearing a mask and a hoodie."

"And then?"

"That's it. I saw the poster when I'm about to check my mailbox early in the morning."

"I see. . ."

"I will try to gather more information."

"I will wait for you."

Suddenly, I can hear someone is walking at us and it's one of campus staff.

"Miss Sera. Can you come with me?"

"Yes, madam."

I follow her and she lead me to a room that's located at the right side of the lobby and she open the door for me. I walk into the room and she ask me to take a seat,

"Please sit and wait for a moment. I need to take something."

She walk out and I sit inside the room, waiting for her to come back. Suddenly, I see the door opens and it's not the staff that come into the room but it's Tyler.

"We meet again."

He lock the door and I stand up then take some step backwards.

"What are you doing here?"

"Do you know why the staff ask you to come here?"

"No."

"Because I told her to do that, I gave her some money and she did that for me."

"What do you want from me."

"I told you that I want you and I mean it."
