Chapter 12:

Her own puppet world

After the Limelight: An Unwanted Boom in Fame


 ''just as what i expect from you...rikka'' with phones placed on our ears,we both locked in a staring contest

''the literature club president?..no shes not euphimia at all''i was speechless,as she put down the phone and walked close to the table

every steps she made made.my heart beats fast

i gulped as she made an eye contact with me

shes very....pretty

''do you mind''she asked taking the seat across me without waiting for my permission.she reclined on her chair and cross his legs as if shes a queen settling on her throne

''please take a seat,i don't like talking while looking up to you literally''i said seriously as I was in a bad mood

Who is she?! 

i was shock too much ''its nice to officially meet you...rikka akari.the first time we met it was so dark and scary ''she smirked impishly ''but now we are in a relaxed environment

First time we met? 

"we can talk for minutes or hours on gonna stop us''she added with a smile

how did you know i'm here?

is that really a question?i have eyes and ears everywhere.it won't be difficult for me to track down''

''i know you got a gig with delinquents,outside school with sariel reizen" 

she sounded as if she has a vast network of spies in the school

before i forget rikka...sorry about her attempt to melt you into liquid and congratulations to sariel for being the knight in shining armor that saves the day bravo''

shes twisted.... shes sick... shes insane

What does she mean her? ''

i could already tell as much

don't worry i wont asked you to stop me

''in fact if like to thank you for a challenge now that i found you .but i must admit i'm disappointed that you never suspected me''

"..." I just stared at her

"I just love how I did an excellent work of making you popular all credits to sariel"

"well,lets see....remember the time when you're playing with your frog? I made the street lights cut off but i got failed tho''

''so i decided to make amatune had a concert forcing sariel to participate...without your notice i made it look like you're desperate for Ethan by stealing your ticket.i didn't expect you to go on your way to the stage.that was something unpredictable''

''lets just say I was the one responsible for including sariel in your life video"

Afterall there's no such thing as coincidence  

is there anything else''she asked to herself''let's see..oh remember when that weirdo who hit you with a bat? did not expect she would go as far as hurting you physically but Ethan stick his nose so i told him to drag you with him that's why sariel was lead no choice but to punish you... thinking you're some obsessed fan and that Ethan will have the same fate as him. But thanks to your wits you once again cheat danger so my plan failed''

I was really surprised know you got corner by delinquents wh ok hate sariel well, luckily she had connection with me so it wasn't hard for me to figure it out but i got worried so I went myself''

''are you the one who hit me by my head ?!''

''no...but i told someone i know about what i know''

''who?''

''shes someone you know but.i dint think its important anymore''

'i got the news Allison withdrew the production of the movie for the school cultural festival ''her eyes stared at the ceiling for a moment''it was a wasted opportunity,oh well there's no point crying over spilled milk."if it wasn't for that letter "she added 

i stood up from my seats and stormed.off away from her

why Allison......''i said as i run away to the cafeteria and went looking for Allison until i reached her standing in front of the school gate happily looking at the fountain as if she's waiting for someone

as soon as she saw me.she waved at me''rika ''she called out

i made few steps towards her and clench my fist

''how could you Allison?''i asked as tears started to roll down my eyes

they might think im over dramatic but knowing how Allison give up everything for me is just unacceptable

''allison...''she whispered as she looked at me with a concerned look on her face

''what is are plotting to do?''i asked as i bit my lips'' youre the one who insisted the film club?why did you do this"i yelled

what does she mean?i want to go after her but something stuck in my foot like nails pinning me on the ground preventing it.from happening

Allison lied to me.....someone is setting me up like i was a puppet for their show....pulling strings to everyone close to me

Sariel, Ethan eugene and now Allison?!

"You badly want to know huh?"Allison hand over a letter to me. 

The letter that Allison received was a very sinister one, that much was clear. It was anonymous, though there were some hints from the way it was written that the author may be someone close to her or the other club members outside the film making 

The letter's contents were equally ominous, threatening harm should the club not follow the letter's instructions to close down immediately. This was clearly a serious threat,

"This is absurdity! "I cried

"Let's face it. "she said in a blank tone"This club wasn't going to go anywhere anyway," Allison says as she looks around the empty room. It's an unfortunate truth, but she has to admit it.

 "It's been a waste of time and money, and there's no sense in trying to keep it going. It's time we accept the fact that it's time to dismissed up the club" She pauses for a moment before adding, "I know it's a hard decision to make, but it's the best choice for all of us in the long run."

did you know what I've been through because of this?''

''all this time i thought it was just luck and that the universe had set me up for this lame internet popularity but i was wrong tho''

i could hardly breath right now

i glanced at Allison and to my surprise she began to haugh hysterically''HAHAHAHAHA''q

''you're just figuring that out?''she asked like a maniac''if this is your way to say thanks then youre welcome''she added

''i never asked for this Allison!''i yelled and all the other students eyes are on us

''i never wish for this''i mumbled and claudia slowly tien her back and glanced at me

''because i want you to be safe''she whispered and starting to walk away

I was about to go after her when I felt someone cling on my arms followed by a sweet scent of perfume

It was a very familiar scent.... 

"I was wondering if you'd like to grab coffee sometime?" Roxy asks casually, looking up from her book. "I'd love to catch up and see how you're doing since we haven't talked in a while." 

"It's true," i says solemnly, feeling my heart sink into my feet. "I can't believe it's really happening," I continues, shaking her head as the reality of the situation sets in. 

"It's crazy that a club that we've all been so passionate about and have put so much effort into is just coming to an end like this." I sighs heavily as she thinks about the future of the film club and all the missed opportunities to create something amazing. "I just can't believe it's over," I concludes

I watches Roxy walk away from her with a calm expression on her face, her emotions in contrast with her expression. I wonders what Roxy thinks about all this,she doesn't seemed to be surprised

Om trying to stay calm and composed. I knows that there is nothing i can do to change what is happening, the club president was no other than Allison. This was a sudden unexpected turn of events that I had never expected

Everything was happening so fast 

I was was determined to figure out who was behind it and why they would send something so threatening. But in the meantime, l had to keep our members safe and figure out a way to get to the bottom of this mystery 

When suddenly heard my phone ring once again ....
