Chapter 1 Starting Over

Blood Dripping Roses
Chapter 1 Starting Over

“I want to welcome all of you to a new school year. As teachers we intend to make this year the best just like every year. I welcome new freshmen and say good luck to the seniors who will be leaving this year.”

The Gym was crowded with students as they all filled the bleachers until there was no room left as they all listened to the principal talk about things to come. Everyone was excited about the new year that was starting. Everyone expect for Ebony Millers. Her eyes stared down at her lap as she wished at that moment to be anywhere else but at the school.

She had lost the one person she loved more than anything. Cory’s death case was closed due to confusions of his death. When Cory walked in the kitchen that day, when he fell to the floor, he died on the floor within seconds. The police came and said that there wasn’t a drop of blood left in his body expect for the bit that was on his hand. The media and press called the death of Cory the ‘Vampire Crime’. Reports swarmed all around because the small town had never had a murder happen in that way.

Ebony found that everything had gone downhill for her. She cried most of the time and couldn’t seem to pick things back up the way that they were. Two and a half months had passed and Ebony found that she still couldn’t stop crying over Cory.

Once the speech was over, Ebony pushed her way to the closet bathroom, finding that tears were once again falling down her cheeks. Hurrying into one of the stales, she slightly cried while leaning back on the door.
(Coming to school today was no a good idea.) thought Ebony. (Maybe I should just go home.)
When the door to the bathroom opened and closed, Ebony became quiet. She decided that she would wait till the girls that walked in had left before she would come out.

“Is she at school today?” a girl asked.
“Who knows or cares?”
Making a face, Ebony didn’t have to guess who they were talking about. The snobby second voice belonged to Cindy whom she knew too well. From as far as Ebony could tell, Cindy hated her guts for dating Cory.

“I feel sorry for Ebony.” The other girl said while turning on the water. “I mean, losing her boyfriend seeing that they were so close and all, it must be hard on her.”
Cindy grunted. “Cory’s death was a weird one. There calling it the ‘vampire death’ or something! I mean, I’ve never in my whole life ever heard of such a silly thing such as that! I mean I think it’s a cover up for something else that might have happened.”

“Really!? I mean, what else could have happened if it wasn’t that?”
“Who knows? I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to think if Ebony had something to do with all of it.”
The other girl laughed.
“Oh come on! You don’t really think that Ebony had anything to do with it, do you?”
“I don’t know Mary. Like I said, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. I mean, Ebony was so stuck to Cory to the point that it pained me to see them! Ebony might have gotten too jealous because Cory might have been getting ready to break up with her to date me and she got mad over how much he would have liked me more than her!”

Ebony bit her lip at the lie, trying to not blow her cover as she continued to listen.
“No way! Cory was going to break up with Ebony!? And date you!? Now things make since. After all, you two don’t like each other anyways!”

Finally, Ebony had heard enough. She pushed open the stall door hard, slamming it back. The loud sound made both Mary and Cindy jump, both turning to look at her in shock.
“Oh-Ebony!” Mary eyes grew wide as she struggled for an excuse. “We didn’t know-
“Save it!” Ebony shouted as she walked passed Mary and walked up to face Cindy who had a smirk on her face.

“Hot headed Ebony.” Cindy said in a mocking tone. “Don’t be mad at me. I haven’t done a thing.”
“We were just leaving!” Mary said while trying to pull Cindy out of the bathroom, guessing a fight. But Cindy jerked her arm away and glared at Ebony, still smiling.
“No, I’ve got something I want to say!” Cindy said while looking right into Ebony’s eyes.
“Damn you Cindy! My boyfriend was just murdered and here you are, grinning your ass off as if this is some kind of joke!” Ebony said, her voice creaking with emotion.
“Ebony, it would be different if I cared. But unlike some of the people at this school, I don’t feel sorry for you at all. I think you deserved to loose Cory, even to me!”
“To you!?”
“Yes. I know it was me who Cory was trying to date! You killed him because of that and covered it up with make believe lie! My God! I can’t believe you were that stuck over that boy! He and I would have been happy together!”
“How can you say that!?” Ebony screamed with anger. “Are you crazy!? Why. . .no. . . how would I have killed my own boyfriend!?”

“Face the fact Ebony! There’s no need for you to take your anger out on me! The only crime Cory committed was loving me and not you! You decided in your own hateful way that if you weren’t going to have him, then no on was! But now that he gone, maybe now you won’t walk around with that million dollar smile! Cory is gone! You hear me!? And he’s never coming back! And for once, I’m glad. You deserved every bit of this pain you’re going through. I hope it swallows you up!”

As much as Ebony tried to hold back tears, they still seemed to come. Never did she imagine the hate that Cindy had felt towards her. And for her to stand there and scream insults about Cory, stabbed Ebony in the heart.
(How can someone say that!? How can she stand here and say that to me!?)

Cindy finally turned and walked out the bathroom leaving Mary and Ebony there.
“Ebony.” Cindy said slowly. “I…don’t believe that you hurt Cory. But what Cindy said…the whole school-you see, they think…the same. Like Cindy. They think that Cory was really about to break up with you and date her. So everyone has been saying that you hurt him or had someone do it for you.”

“What?” whispered Ebony as new tears rolled down her cheeks.
Mary sighed as she looked around the bathroom as if she was looking for words to say up in the air. “Just…go home for today Ebony. Today is not a good day to be as school. There are too many people talking about the murder of Cory. I suggest you go home and stay there for a few weeks till it becomes old news. I’m sure your teachers will understand.”

Ebony nodded slowly. “Thanks. I think I’ll do that.”

~~~***o***~~~

A few minutes later after Ebony had left the bathroom, Mary walked up to the door and locked it as she pulled a cell phone out her pocket. After dialing a number, she put the phone to her ear as she paced around the small green bathroom.

“Yes?” Came a voice from the other end.
“It’s Mary Hillron.” Mary answered.
“Ah. I remember. What is it?”
“Ebony Millers just left school for the day and maybe a few more days.”
“Are you sure this is ‘the’ Ebony Millers we need?”
“I’ve been going to school with her for years now. I think I know who Ebony Millers is by now. So when are you going to pick her up?”

“Tonight.”
Mary eyes widened a bit as she stopped pacing. “Tonight?”
“Why, is that problem Mrs. Hillron?” the voice on the other end sounded more to be a warning than a question.
“Got nothing to do with me,” she said shrugging. “All I want is my money.”
“Money?”
“Don’t play fucking dumb with me!” Mary snapped. “You guys have been playing around like you’re not going to give me my money this whole time. Now my job is done, I want my money!”
“Relax Mrs. Hillron. You will get your twenty-thousand.”
“In cash?”
“In cash I assure you.”

Mary flipped her phone closed just as bell for class to begin rang. With the money that she was going to get, she saw no need to go to class anymore.
