skeptical listener

I felt like My heart jumps into my throat as i hears the phone ring. I'm not sure who it could be,

I stays silent and waits to see what happens. Finally, after what seems like an eternity, someone speaks on the other line. It's a person with a deep hollow voice

"Catch me if you can... Sherlock " The voice is unfamiliar, but something about the tone sends chills down my spine. Immediately I senses that something is not right.

"Yes...who is this?" I asks cautiously.

"This is Moriarty speaking..." the voice continues calmly."

Why the hell bringing up the characters from a novel? Who could be calling me? And what do they want?

Im not sure what he does expect to hear when I finally gets the courage to answer the phone, but I'm hoping for some kind of explanation.

"I'm not playing a role play with you!" My voice trembling slightly. I'm afraid of who or what might be on the other end of the line, but i knows that I have to find out.

"Isn't this what you really wanted, a life that is something like out from a novel? Perhaps a movie..... "I remains silent, waiting for someone to speak on the other line. I feels the tension in the air and can't help but feel anxious and on edge.

I redials the number as my heart is pounding in her chest. I was still in shock and disbelief

I didn't expect this to happen, and I'm not sure what to do next. But I knows that i have to figure out what is going on, so I forces herself to be calm and composed.i took a deep breath and puts the phone to my ear, my hand shaking as i pushes the dial button.

I redial the number, trying to keep my calm. I'm feeling nervous and anxious, but I know that I have to be strong and brave.

As I realized how the keypad tone sounds like. I was in horror

"Exactly how auld Lang syne "

I clear the number and began to press the number on the keypad. But It was exactly how it sounds like.

As it rings she sees the name on the caller ID, my heart suddenly pounding in her chest as o remembers the previous call. As the phone rings, I grip it tightly, my heart racing. I breathe deeply, reminding myself that everything will be okay

When I heard someone phone ringing

My body goes cold and i feel myself starting to sweat.i forces herself to remain composed and calm. "Eugene?" I calls hesitantly, her voice trembling slightly. "Is that you?"

I feel fear and horror as I realize I've been deceived and lied to.

"Rikka?"eugene said in the other line as he was standing Infront of me with phones placed on our ears,both locked in a staring contest

every steps he made made.my heart beats fast

i gulped as he made an eye contact with me

"I can't believe it," Eugene sighs as he approaches me. He looks just as disappointed as I wasn't, but at the same time he makes the conscious effort to stay composed.

"I just got the news myself," he says, shaking his head. "It's all so sudden and unexpected." His voice wavers as his usually happy demeanor starts to show cracks."I can't believe Allison filled a request to dissolve the film making club "

Eugene keeps talking but I just can't pay attention to it.I'm confused and scared, but at the same time I can't help but think that there has to be a simple explanation for all of this. What if the hooded guy is my very best friend? He's been there for me before and I've always felt like we connect on a deep level. Maybe I'm just overreacting and everything is fine. But something deep inside tells me that this is not the case, and I have a feeling that whoever is behind all of this means me harm. I need to figure out who is responsible and what they want from me

**I'm so shocked and scared that I feel like my entire world has been altered. I feel like I can't trust anyone or anything anymore. I'm trying to remain calm and figure out the next steps to take, but it's hard to think clearly when I'm so overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. I just can't believe that this could be happening to me. I'm struggling to make sense of it all but so much has happened so quickly that i still reeling back, trying to process everything— shocked by the turn of events

The two of is share a look of sadness and disappointment, and finally Eugene sighs heavily. "I guess we'll have to make the most of it while we can," he adds softly, his voice full of emotion and smiled at me as gentle ray of sun gently hit his face illuminating his hair as it gently sway by the gentle wind

He was still the eugene I knew back when we were younger. Giving me hope and full of positivity

I want to trust Eugene, I really do. But after everything that's happened, I can't help but feel like something isn't right.

Could it be that the person behind the other line was him all along? That's why when I redialed the number, his phone rang?

I don't know if he's being completely honest with me, and I can't help but wonder if maybe there's more to this whole situation than meets the eye.

I want to believe that he's still my friend and that we can work through this together, but the more I think about it, the more the situation feels suspicious. I need to figure out the truth even if it's uncomfortable, but I don't want to go through this alone.

It's a difficult conversation to have, but I need to be truthful with Eugene and share everything that's happened.

"This is unbelievable," I say, "I never thought something like this could happen to me. It's like my whole world has been turned upside down and I don't know what to do. Who would do something like this and why? This is so terrible and scary." I feel so overwhelmed and scared, and I don't know how to react. "I'm feeling very confused and overwhelmed by all of this. Do you have any idea who could be responsible for this?" I ask, hoping that my friend might have some insight that could help us figure out this terrifying situation in order to bring those responsible to justice.

I tell him about the strange girl who confessed to me that she is behind everything. It's hard to say it out loud and even harder to see his reaction.

I also told eugene about the anonymous letter that was sent to Allison. It's extremely disturbing and I'm scared of what it may mean. I don't want to think about what could happen if we don't comply with their demands, but I also don't want to give in to their threats. I'm so torn and confused, and I really don't know what to do. This is a scary situation and I'm worried that it could only get worse if we don't act quickly.

I can tell that he's shocked and angry about all of this, and I feel so guilty for bringing him into this mess. But I know it's important to be honest with each other.

"This is terrible," I say. "What are we going to do? We can't let these people get away with this." I'm incredibly angry and hurt by what has happened, I try to think of a plan, but I'm so shocked and upset that it's hard to think straight. I'm definitely not one to back down from a fight, but the idea of going up against someone who is truly evil is terrifying.

"I think we should just ignore the letter," Ethan says. "If we give into their demands, they'll just keep coming back and ask for more, and we'll never be able to live our lives in peace. We can't let these people scare us into submission. We have to stand up for ourselves and what we believe in

I can't believe what I'm hearing from my best friend

I can't trust you yet," I say to Eugene, feeling hurt and disappointed. It's difficult to admit this, but it's the truth. I can't let my trust in him blind me to the possibility that he could be lying or somehow involved in this whole terrifying situation. I need to be careful and take every precaution necessary to keep myself and everyone else safe

. I need him to come clean and tell me the truth, but so far he has given me no reason to believe that he's being completely honest. I'm going to have to be careful and keep my eyes open for any more lies or manipulation

I will never give up on the film making club

What if he's been playing us all along? What if his entire act has been a front for some sinister scheme? I can't believe that it could be true, but after everything that's happened I have to entertain every possibility. My priority is to keep everyone safe and if possible get to the root of this mystery. If eugene is involved, he needs to come clean. I won't accept any more lies or half-truths.

I walk away from Eugene without looking back or another word. I'm filled with so many different emotions that it's hard to process it all at once. I'm hurt, angry, sad, disappointed, scared, shocked, and it all hits me at once. I feel like I can't trust anyone right now, least of all myself and my own judgment. I'm so confused and overwhelmed that I can barely think straight. But there's one thing that I know for sure: I'm not going to let this evil person or any of their enablers get away with this.

I have to keep going and find a way to come to terms with this terrible new reality.*
