The Girl In The Cheerleading Squad Murder Case 1

Jozaih Louis' POV

I heard the sound of the egg cracking as it made a loud contact in my head. The egg yolk drops to my shoulder down to my uniform, making it sticky and wet.

"William, stop bullying him, we can just edit and photoshopped the cracked egg, why did you still need to crack it on his head?" I heard a voice of a girl said. If I'm not mistaken, she is one of the members of the photography club.

I am inside the photography club today, not as a member but as a model to help them in the photography contest where the chosen theme is bullying.

"Why do we need to edit it when we can just capture it realistically?" asked William while raising one of his eyebrows.

"But you're being rude to the guy, you even crumpled his uniform and punched him in the face! He might report us to the principal's office if you don't stop!" the girl said with a worried voice.

William looked at me and harshly grabbed my chin towards him.

"This guy won't do that… he would even die if I tell him to kill himself. Right, Louis?"

I nodded my head twice, not because I would really kill myself if he told me to do so, but because my chin can't handle the tightness of his grip anymore and he would be really mad if I didn't agree with him.

You might call me stupid because I let this guy use me as a tool for their club to have a realistic picture of a guy being bullied—which they're going to pass on the photography contest.

As if I have any choice. My grandma has a huge debt to pay to his family. He blackmailed me about it and said that he would tell his parents to send my grandma to prison if I won't agree to be his slave so I don't have any choice but to do and follow whatever he said. I need to endure it for my grandma.

"You are not my girlfriend so don't expect me to listen to you even though you are one of the members of this club, Sienna. You know how I hate photoshopped pictures." he told the girl who's currently standing behind us.

William cracked another egg on my head. He punched me on the face, making the side of my lips bled.

"William, stop it! I would report you to the principal's office if you won't!"

The girl walked towards me with brisk steps and immediately offered her hand to help me to stand up. I actually want to accept her help, but I don't want William to get angry at her so I only smiled to tell her that it's okay.

William hates listening to anyone. He only listens to his girlfriend who is a member of a cheerleading squad.

"Thank you, but it's fine. I won't report your club to the principal's office so you don't need to worry…" I told the girl with a slight smile. I appreciated the thought that she wants to help me.

She doesn't look convinced with my answer so she stays standing in front of me and didn't move, but William pushes her to the side and tells her to give him his camera already because he's going to take a picture of me now.

The girl sighed and handed the camera to William with a frown.

After he got satisfied by the outcome of the picture he had taken, William kicked me on my knee and told me to get lost in front of him in an instant. The girl let me use their club's restroom to change into a clean white t-shirt and ask for forgiveness because of what her club mates did.

When I looked presentable again, I decided to go to the canteen to grab something to eat as I heard my stomach growling.

There are few students inside the canteen right now. Some already finished eating but stayed for a chat with their classmates and friends. I'm not close with my classmates and no one wants to be my friend so I only eat alone.

I actually wanted to leave when I saw William inside the canteen, but I'm really hungry right now so I still ordered a food and just sat far away from him.

The weather is so hot today. I simply glanced at William's direction and saw that he was also eating. He doesn't seem to know that I am here so it made me somewhat feel relieved.

Because the weather is so hot, I drank a lot of water. I finished 2 bottled water so I went to the men's restroom to pee. The restroom is still part of the canteen.

As soon as I entered inside, I heard someone playing a song in one of the cubicles. I instantly smiled because it's one of my favorite songs. I wonder who is playing that song right now?

I can hear the song clearly so I'm sure that it's from the first cubicle.

I wash my hands on the sink and went outside the restroom to return to my table and continue eating.

Minutes have passed, all of the students inside the canteen got shocked when we heard a voice of a girl screaming.

The girl was from the women's restroom and she looked at us in horror. Her body is trembling like she just saw something horrible.

"S-Someone died inside the cubicle…" she said, even her voice is shaking in fear.

My eyes widened and the students inside the canteen started to panic.

"What?!"

Some students ran to go to the women's restroom to confirm if there's really a dead body there. It took me a minute before I stood up once again and followed them.

My knees wobbled when I saw with my own eyes that what the girl said is indeed true.

There's a dead body inside the third cubicle… 

She looks familiar to me.

I tilted my head to see her face clearly and unconsciously stepped backwards when I finally recognized the girl. I can't be wrong...

She's William's girlfriend.
