Secrets

Five

"Yeah. She was sweet but a psycho." We stayed quiet for a while. I was about to talk when the twins stood in front of us, folding their hands over their chest and glaring at us. Ziora looked down at our hands and I knew she was about to make a stupid statement, I let go of William and I took both of them away, hastily saying a good bye.

We stopped a few meters from the tree, well after we were out of earshot of course.

"I thought you said nothing was going on?" Ziora said, glaring at me.

"Nothing is going on now. I was just comforting him." I said, trying to walk away from them.

"There was a lot of comfort going on there of course, so Derin is waiting for you. She has Temi, not literally though. She's keeping an eye on Temi." I nodded as we walked to wherever the twins were taking me.

"Hey guys. Hey Zara. I've not seen you throughout today, hope all is well?" I rolled my eyes as Anita asked, I scoffed and walked away from them.

"Wait now! You don't even know where we are taking you too!" Zikora said, chasing after me. I stopped and looked behind me, Anita was still talking to Ziora while zikora was walking towards me.

We followed the halls and we walked to the side of the school, Derin was pretending to be reading something on her tab meanwhile, her eyes were on Temi who was talking to one of her friends, Sandra.

"Let's go and meet her now nah and ask Sandra to leave." I said.

"That's what we're obviously doing. We were waiting for you and besides, Temi looks bored already. Seems like Sandra keeps repeating gist." Derin and I both walked towards them,  while Zikora stayed behind.

"Hey T. Can we talk to you?" We asked and she sighed in relief, well that's what I think she did.

"Sure. Sandra can you excuse us please. Don't worry, we'll continue later." Sandra nodded and walked away.

"So what's up?"

"Where were you the time Kay Kay was murdered?" I quickly asked.

"Zara!" Derin exclaimed.

"What? It's better we get things over with, no sugar coating please. So where were you?" I folded my hands on my chest. Temi wasn't smiling anymore and I knew she was obviously hiding something.

"That's funny. So you guys feel I killed Kay Kay or what?" She asked looking at the both of us and then she laughed.

"We're serious. We know you two had an argument, we don't know how serious but maybe something went wrong." Derin said, with all seriousness. Temi suddenly knew we weren't smiling anymore.

"Fine. I'll tell you why we were arguing, but I didn't kill Kay Kay."

Flashback

"Can you just tell him to stop calling me? It's getting annoying." Kay Kay said to Temi.

"Tell him yourself. You're the one who decided to kiss him knowing he was in love with you." Temi retorted.

"He's obsessed! He's not in love, can't you just tell him something that will make him hate me? I blocked him everywhere but somehow, he still contacts me and it's frustrating." Kay Kay said, rubbing her forehead.

"You'll just have to talk to him by yourself. He feels I'm an enemy of progress. Tell him you're not interested, simple." Temi said, folding her hands. Kay Kay saw that the conversation wasn't going anywhere so she groaned and walked away.

"It wasn't a major argument, so why should I kill her because of it. Besides, my brother has been devastated ever since he heard the news. Trust me, I didn't kill her." She concluded and I turned to where Zikora was standing.

Ziora was with her and they were both with Mide, I removed my eyes from them and turned to Temi.

"So do you know anyone else that could have wanted to hurt Kay Kay? Or someone she had a major argument with or unresolved issues?" I added and looked at her.

She looked like she was in thoughts and suddenly removed her glasses from her eyes.

"The enemy is closer than you think. Trust me, it's someone you least expect." With that, she walked away.

I turned to look at Derin. "What did she mean by the enemy is closer than we think?" Derin asked, rubbing her forehead. I knew she was getting really frustrated, it was like we kept meeting a dead end.

"That's what we're going to find out. Who's the next on the list?" I asked Derin and she opened the paper.

"Gift."
