One More Night

While Nicole was in the hospital and being treated, she continued to cry due to the loss of her best friend Jane. Jake approached her after she had been treated and hugged Nicole again, to sympathize with Jane’s disappearance.

“Nicole, please stop crying, maybe you can handle that.” Jake worries.

“I’m the one who dies not her, because of me she died, Jake.” Crying Nicole said.

Jake stroked her back, “It’s not your fault, don’t blame yourself. You did not like what happened. If anyone is to blame, none other than the student who hurt you.” Said Jake.

But Nicole was still crying. Soon after, Jane’s parents arrived and she immediately hugged them.

“Auntie…” Nicole cried and she hugged Jane’s mother.

“I’m so sorry Auntie, I’m sorry…” Nicole said, crying.

“What really happened Nicole? Why did this happen to Jane?” Jane’s mother asked.

“A student hurt Jane and me; we were suddenly attacked and stabbed. After that, Jane suddenly fell on the rooftop while I was hanging on the side. I’m sorry, I didn’t save Jane.” Crying Nicole said.

“No, Nicole… you are not to blame for what happened, do not blame yourself.” Jane’s mom said.

Then they arranged Jane’s hill and funeral.

A few weeks later, Nicole still felt the grief of Jane’s disappearance. She was still sad, even though Jake tried to make her smile.

Until the delivery of their project. While in art class, Nicole’s mind seemed to be flying, so she decided to buy something to drink first. She first covered the painting and went to the canteen first.

When she returned, she did not expect what would happen in her painting. She slowly took off the cover cloth of the painting she was making, when she was surprised by what she saw.

This is pure paint and drawings of the face of a woman with black horns. She stood up in shock and his teacher noticed that.

“Haaa!” cried Nicole.

“Oh, why Miss Richard?” her teacher asked.

Amy and her friends simply laughed at Nicole’s reaction.

“Maam, someone interfered with my work.” Said Nicole as she stood up.

Her teacher and other classmates approached her. When she saw the drawing she was saying with the face of a woman with horns, she was also surprised.

“Huh, what is that?!” surprised her teacher asked.

“Oh, it’s scary.” Some of her classmates said when they saw the strange drawing.

“I do not know.” Nicole replied to her teacher.

“Who did that?” her teacher asked.

Meanwhile, Nicole noticed that Amy was simply laughing while drawing, so she immediately approached her and confronted her.

She picked up the painting and talked to Amy.

“Are you the one who did it?” Nicole asked Amy angrily.

“Can you, don’t blame me!” Amy said to her as she rolled eyes.

“You know Amy, I don’t know when I did something bad to you, so why do you do it to me. I know you did it!” Then Nicole threw the painting in front of Amy and threw down the painting she had made.

Amy stood up and faced Nicole.

“Don’t blame me if you don’t have proof!” said Amy.

“Well, if not you, tell me who will do it?” Nicole asked.

“Tssk! I don’t know if anyone else is mad at you! Go with your best friend to hell! Bitch!” Amy said.

Nicole was angry at what she said and sympathized with her friend Jane.

“Don’t say the name of Jane here!” Then she poured paint on Amy’s face.

Amy was surprised by what Nicole did and she also retaliated by throwing various paints at Nicole and so did Nicole.

“Stop it!” their teacher shouted.

But they did not listen to her and they fought even harder.

Amy immediately pulled Nicole by her hair and Nicole also retaliated and she also pulled Amy’s hair. They tweaked and they rolled around on the floor.

“Nicole, Amy, stop it!!!” their teacher shouted.

“Please stop them!” their teacher shouted.

And they were stopped by their classmates, while they continued to support Nicole and Amy. They still want to continue their fight.

Nicole approached again and slapped Amy hard. Everyone was surprised and especially Amy when Nicole slapped her hard.

“If you repeatedly talk about Jane’s name, that’s not all you will get!” Nicole said angrily.

Their teacher then approached them and took them to the Principal’s Office.

“Stop it, both of you go to the Principal’s Office now!” their teacher shouted at them.

They did nothing but obey and go to the Principal’s Office.

When Jake’s classes were over, he found out that Nicole had a fight with Amy and called her to the Principal’s Office. He immediately hurried to the dorm and when he arrived, he immediately opened the door and saw Nicole crying on the side of the bed.

He looked at her and saw that her filthy clothes were pure paint as well as her hands and face was pure paint.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Then he approached Nicole, he sat beside her and held her hands.

“Nicole, what happened?” Jake asked worriedly.

“Jake… I don’t want this, I can’t do it anymore.” Crying Nicole said.

Jake hugged her tightly.

“You can handle that, I am here to help you.” He slowly wiped Nicole’s tears from her cheeks.

“Please don’t cry, I don’t want to see you crying. Tell me, what is the matter?” Jake asked.

“Because of Amy, she kicked me out for doing that and she also bullied me for a long time.” Said Nicole.

Jake was surprised by what Nicole said.

“What?! Amy? Why didn’t you tell me right away that Amy was bullying you?” Jake asked.

“Because I don’t want you to worry anymore. Since you became my boyfriend, Amy has been warm to me and she has always bullied me.” Said Nicole.

“Tssk! Why is she bullying you? What is her reason for that? Why is she angry with you?” Jake asked curiously.

Nicole looked at Jake’s face before saying, “Because of you.”

“What?! Why because of me?” Jake asked.

“Because Amy likes you!” Nicole replied.

Jake couldn’t believe what Nicole said, “It’s impossible what you’re saying, Amy doesn’t like me.”

“Amy likes you, she herself admitted to me when she poured water on me in the restroom.” Said Nicole.

“What? She poured water on her in the restroom? Why don’t I know this, when did that happen?” Jake asked.

“On the day Jane disappeared. She poured water on me in the restroom, so I went home first and changed my clothes. After I returned, someone gave me a letter.” Nicole replied.

“Wait, what letter?” Jake asked.

Nicole swallowed and thought about that incident.

“A male student gave me a letter and then sent me to the rooftop. I thought that letter was from you.” Said Nicole.

“What letter? I am not giving you any letter.” Said Jake.

“Wait, it’s here, I hid it.” Said Nicole.

Then she approached the drawer of her desk and took the letter and handed it to Jake. Jake read it immediately.

“Nicole, let’s meet on the rooftop – Jake. But I did not write it and I did not write to you. Well, do you remember what the man who gave you this looked like? We can be that lead, so we can catch who the suspect is.” Said Jake.

“Yes, I still remember how he looked, when I saw him, I would definitely know it was him.” Said Nicole.

“Good, let’s go to the Principal’s Office and find out who that student is.” Jake said to her.

“Okay, all right. But can I get dressed first?” said Nicole because her clothes were full of dirt.

“Oh go ahead, clean up first and get dressed, I’ll just wait for you here outside.” Said Jake.

“Okay.” Nicole replied.

Then Jake came out of the room first and waited for Nicole to get dressed.

Meanwhile, when they arrived at the Principal’s Office their Principal was no longer there, so they regretted it.

They knocked several times in the door but no one answered. They think that the Principal has already left.

“Maybe the Principal has already left.” Nicole said.

“Yes, maybe, let’s just talk to the Principal tomorrow; let’s just go back to the dorm first.” Said Jake.

“Okay go ahead, just tomorrow.” said Nicole.

As they were returning from the dorm and walking down the hallway, Nicole noticed a man who seemed to be passing by, while he was talking to someone. The man was familiar with her and she could not be wrong, she stopped and Jake noticed it.

“Oh why? Why did you stop walking?” Jake asked.

“It looks like he was the man who handed me the letter.” Nicole said to Jake while pointing to the man who was also talking to the other man.

“Really? Are you sure?” Jake asked.

“Yes, I can’t be wrong, that’s him!” surely said Nicole.

“Come on, let’s go to him.” Said Jake.

Meanwhile the man noticed that Nicole and Jake were approaching him, he immediately said goodbye to his buddy and quickly ran down the stairs.

“Hey!!!” Jake shouted, but he ran fast and they could not catch up to him.
