I spent the next week first haunted after my doctor’s death and worrying about the upcoming events. Some how I got through the death pretty fast which I was a little worried about. You think someone would be more torn up about that but I wasn’t. Besides that I watched my next opponent. I even talked to him but I don’t think he knows about me. So I kept up my surveillance on him. I just kept wondered when the day would come that we’d have to fight this out. I really didn’t want to either. Thinking about it all I didn’t want to fight anyone besides Kyle. The people I have to get rid of might have a family or someone who cares about them. Who was I to take them away… well unless they attacked me first. Then I would have to do what I had to do.
“Hey Francisco what’s up?” I asked seeing my friend
“Nothing much. What are you doing over here?”
“Just chilling like usual.” I told him
“Ok. So how have you been? Like with the Charles thing?”
“Oh I’m fine I guess. He wouldn’t want me to be hung up about it. Well that’s what we told each other at least.”
“What ever helps you get through it.”
“Thanks what you doing after school?” I asked
“I have practice remember? Something you should go to.” He said punching my arm.
“Yeah… Maybe when I’m not feeling lazy.”
“Then you’ll never get to practice.” He said and laughed
“True I guess.” I said looking at him. “I have to go.” And I started to walk away.
“See you around.” He said.
“Later.” Was all I said and turned a corner and just stood there.
Why did this have to happen? I had a pretty good life before all this. We all had pretty good lives, well I hope the others did too. Charles did. I know he was really happy besides for his brothers death. That hit his whole family pretty hard also. His poor mom must be in so much pain now with both of them gone. I still visited her which I think helps her.
“Why are you just standing there?”
I look straight in front of me and see Kyle in a door way. I just stare at him not sure what to do.
“Really what’s wrong with you?” he asked
“Nothing really, just see a dead man.” I said reaching for my knife
“Not the smartest place to this is it?” he said walking into the hall
I look around and saw no one but then again didn’t know if there was people in that open class he was in. Then again someone could walk by. No cameras in this hall way and I have my knife, I know for a fact his weapon is a gun which is a little louder then my knife. So I just kept my hand on my hip so it would be faster to get it.
“What do you want?” I asked glaring at him
“Just wanted to say hi and good job with the doctor. I was going to do it but shit happens huh?” he told me
“Well should have been faster. Now I’m going to take care of the rest and then come for you got it?” I said pointing at him
“You don’t have the balls.”
“That’s what the doctor said too.” I told him smiling
Kyle smiled back and then his grin got more sinister and cold. His eyes were on me and nothing else. I could see the death in them. I waited for him to do something which I thought he would but he stopped and looked away.
“You’re boring. I’m out of here.” He told me and turned around and started walking
“You should never turn your back to the enemy.” I said
“Yeah only if their a threat, which you aren’t.” he said and walked out the hall way
I didn’t move, I froze up and wondered if I could really win this. If I could beat him and still be sane at the end of this.
“Hey. You want to hang after school?” Francisco asked me.
It was three days after I saw Kyle when I tried making my move. Hopefully luck was on my side this time.
“Hello? You there?” he asked
“What? Sorry what are you talking about?” I asked my train of thought broken
“Do you want to hang after school?” he asked again
“Umm sure.” I told him looking around
“Then lets go.”
“Wait why?”
“Schools over dude. Are you ok?”
“I’ve been wiggin out lately.” I told him started to walk with him
“I know to much work huh?”
“Yeah do teachers think we only have one class?”
“I was thinking the same thing.” He said as we laughed
We keep walking around joking and making fun of each other. Then we started to walk down this one little walk way that we both double dated sort of. We both had our girlfriends who were friends and we chilled down here a long time ago.
“We should have had more fun like this.” He told me
“Yeah I know what you mean”
“Too bad it has to end.” He said and kept walking.
I stayed back waited already with my knife out.
“How long have you known?” I asked him staying my distance
“Not for long. Damn I wish this never had to happen.” He said and then pulled out a hatchet and turned around
“I’m so sorry dude.” I said and dropped me back pack and stepped forward.
Then he swung it down on my head so I grabbed his wrist with my free hand and punched him in the face with the other. Then we stood there not wanting this to happen but I looked away and shoved my knife into his chest and pulled it out and kept stabbing him. I push him into the wall and kept stabbing him then stopped and looked down at him crying. I stare at him coughing up blood and looking at me. It was a terrible sight for anyone. It was quiet then he raised his hand up with his phone in it.
“I never wanted to win.” He coughed out and put his head back
“I’m really sorry. I didn’t know what I was doing it just happened.” I told him kneeling next to him now.
“I know its fine. Just make sure my family is going to be ok.”
“You have my word. I promise you.” I say and fall back and just watch another friend die in front of me
“Fuck this were going to the hospital. I’m not going to let you die.” I said and stood up
“Thanks.” He started to say then he jumped up and pushed me. It wasn’t till after I fell I heard the silenced gun shots. I looked up and saw the bullets go into my friend then he fell in front of me. I turn and see the Kyle standing at one end of the walkway. I couldn’t move I didn’t know what to do I froze up again. I look at Francisco’s body then I knew what to do. I picked up the hatchet and stood there waiting.
“Kyle you’ve gone too far!! I will kill you today!! No matter what I will kill you for this!!” I say pointing the hatchet in his direction.
