her face pores. She stopped walking and so did I. “Really?!?! By who!?!?” I screamed in excitement, “By Logan!!!” “OMG ME TOO!!” Sabrina and I looked at our surroundings to find everyone staring at us. Some people said look at those freaks. I swallowed deeply, “There is nothing to see here.” Sabrina started walking again and so did I towards the secretary who luckily didn’t see our moment. Sabrina leaned towards me, “There was something to see. Us acting like total nutcases in the hallway.” I laughed, “We wasn’t acting, we are nutcases.” Sabrina chuckled and punched me in my arm. Sabrina wiped her dress skirt and grabbed the key from the secretary and passed it to me. We walked to our dorm talking about all the times we embarrassed ourselves in public. She opened our dorm’s door and went into her room and closed the door. I went into my room and got ready. I put on open back dress and black pumps. I looked at myself in the mirror closely. I smiled and then french braided my hair, then I undid the braid which made my hair wavy. Sabrina just put on a summer dress with flip - flops and let hair do whatever it desired. We came out of our rooms at the same time and we laughed.  Sabrina sat down at the kitchen table, “Whose car are we taking?” “Mine, I guess.” I said. I grabbed my car key and my dorm room key and walked out of our “apartment” with Sabrina. We got into my car and drove ten miles to Logan’s dorm. You could hear pop music streaming from out of the dorm two miles away. We knocked on the door and then Logan answered, “Oh hey, Amanda and Sabrina. How are you?” He smiled as he was guiding us in. Sabrina stepped closer to him, “We’re doing just great!” Logan’s smile faded, “I was meaning only Amanda, I don’t like my sister’s friends. Just kidding!” He hugged my friend, and Sabrina laughed. I was kind of in the background just watching all of this happening. I spoke up after ten minutes of Logan and Sabrina giggling like a bunch of five year olds watch babies eating lemons. “I’m good.” Logan didn’t even hear me and just followed Sabrina around like a bird. I walked off and went back home after two minutes, I had nobody to talk to anyway. I got into my car and texted Sabrina to call me when she wanted me to pick her up. I turned to my favorite radio station and drove back to my section of the college. As I was driving I was wondering if Charles body was still in the dorm, if not why wasn’t there a trial being held?! It makes no sense. I got out of the car and went into my new dorm room and sat and watched “Ellen” for a few hours. I got a phone call from Sabrina, and I answered, “Hello?” “OH MY GOSH PICK ME UP NOW!!! LOGAN IS TRYING TO KILL ME!!! I’M SERIOUS!!! HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP  -..................” The phone hung up, and I know that Sabrina is in trouble….because she never said help me in her life. At least not twice. I threw on some shoes and drove past speed limit and saw Sabrina outside crying. “SABRINA GET INSIDE!” Sabrina ran to my car and jumped in. I drove back to our dorm going past limit again and we ran back to our dorm as fast as we could. We ran in and I locked the door. “WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED!!?!??” Sabrina caught her

breath and sat down, “It wasn’t a birthday, It was a type of crime.” I sat next to her. “What do you mean?” “Like, killing. They were trying to kill me. I told you that on the phone.” I knew something was up with that party. Wait Killing. They may be apart of my sister’s murder. Sabrina got up, “I just want to go to bed...Good night.” “Good night” She closed the door softly. I got up and got into my PJ’S and went to bed.

Who are you Really

 

 My alarm went off at eight o'clock in the morning, and I was not ready for my classes, partly because I had to sit next to Logan. I don’t even know if that’s even his real name! And why did his actions change so quickly, and why did he change them after I left. Did he purposely leave me out so I would want to leave and leave in the next few minutes. And he was oddly close to Sabrina for a long time and on top of that I think he was trying to get her to trust him, and she did, and he decided to kill her. I’m starting to think he is the murderer of my little sister, and it’s completely possible. I slid my legs off of the bed slowly and went into my closet and threw on a hoodie and some jeans. I knocked on the door of Sabrina’s bedroom, no answer. I opened the door slowly and she was still sleeping, it must be her day off. I got my car keys and then closed the door of our dorm slowly. I started to walk down the hallway to my classroom and then I finally got there early! But, nobody was there. I sat down in my desk and looked around the room. And then the lights cut off and, the door locked by itself. I got up and ran to the door. I bang on it and screamed on the top of my lungs hoping to catch someone’s attention. I turned around and saw Logan, and he came pushed me against the door. His face didn’t have a happy face on it. “What did Sabrina tell you!” I pushed him off of me and then he pushed me against the door again with slightly a little more force. I winced. “TELL ME NOW!” “NOTHING!! GET OFF OF ME!!” The lights turned on and Logan ran and sat in his desk, and I moved away from the door. A whole bunch of students came and sat in their desk. I ran and sat in mine. Logan quickly whispered in my ear, “If you tell anybody about this, I will kill you.” I chuckled, “That’s if I don’t kill you first.” His face turned red and he strangled me, I gasped desperately for air. All of the students started to scream in fear and Sabrina came just in time with the teacher. I was gasping my last breath, until I heard a gunshot. Logan fell on top of me and I looked up to see Sabrina holding a gun that was smoking. She ran over to me and pushed off Logan’s dead body and gave me a hug. “I’m so sorry I didn’t come earlier!” I looked at her, “No, it was your fault!” We hugged even harder. All the students were gasping and then Logan sister Paris, came in. “Why is everyone all -” Paris looked at her dead body then at Sabrina. “YOU DID THIS!!” Paris jumped on Sabrina and started to pull on her hair and punch her in her face. Paris started to reach for the gun and then I grabbed mine and shot her. I told you, I’m becoming a killer myself….trying to find a killer. Maybe I should just look in the mirror, there’s a murderer right there. Ten minutes later the police arrived. The police walked over to me,”Ma'am what happened here?” He was the same cop who said that he’ll figured out my sister’s case and called a few days later saying it was useless. He blinked a few times before realizing who I was, “Oh there you go stirring up trouble!” He got out his handcuffs. “I thought you said you'd help me on my sister’s case!” “A girl like you doesn’t deserve to have a sister!” I turned around...and slapped the cop. I hit him so hard he fell on the floor. He got up and took out his walkie talkie and called for backup. Sabrina came to try to help and was stung with a stun gun. Sabrina let out a traumatizing scream and fell to the floor shaking. I screamed her name multiple times before falling to the floor next her being in pain. All of a sudden, I was shaking out of control and then everything went black. Am I dead, if so...which world would I be going to? Hell, for killing so many people? Or Heaven, for doing it out of defense and praying every night, and being a good Christian...At least a Christian that would be accepted in Heaven. I didn’t want my life to end that way. I wanted to die a wrinkly old lady dying in her sleep, not being stung to death! But, as they say...Life isn’t fair.

I Don’t Belong in a Insane Asylum, You do

 

“Hand me that strap please. Hurry up before she wakes! Ok, give me that strap. Is she secure? Ok, good. Let’s go. Lock that door behind you! Sheryl, Who’s my next patient? Is she ok? Oh no. Get me a phone to call the family. How’s Sabrina? Critical? Ok, good. Is she strapped tight like Amanda? Excellent. Alright, Sheryl get me some coffee. It’s going to be a long day.” The doctor and his team walked down the hallway with every step leading to a echo. I opened my eyes slowly to a blinding light. I waited until my eyes adjusted to find myself strapped down on
