???EPISODE 38???
Martha dropped the phone on the table and smiled happily. She looked at the mirror and yelled happily.
“Finally! My plans has been manifested,, I’m going to succeed, They thought it was over…. No, It’s over for them instead!” She said happily to herself.
“However, I can’t still believe Barbara fell for that, Peter and Ashley aren’t here– Martha paused and laughed wickedly.
“Wow…. I’m a real good master planner!” She thought happily.
Her phone rang loudly cutting her short. She looked at the screen and smiled. She later picked the call.
☎ Hello? Martha? I’m here already! In school but I can’t find you?
☎ Wow! That was fast though, However,, I don’t trust you…. Are the cops there? Or perhaps, Did you tell anyone or bring someone along?
☎ I swear no one knows about this, I also didn’t bring anyone along. I came on my own! So please, Where are you now?
☎ Well, I’m still at home
☎ What?Why are you still there? You said you would be in school! Or perhaps, Have you poisoned them already?
☎ No, Not yet…..So, Just chill……I will be right there soon. But do you know what?
☎ What? What? Please, Just tell me!
☎ I don’t really know why you are being so anxious, Just calm your nerves down! Just go to the school roof top and wait for me there. I will be there soon.
Martha hung the call and looked at the big mirror once again, She chuckled slightly which later led into a roar of evil laughter. She later adjusted her dressing and applied little make up and finally came out of her room. She saw her mother standing by her room door. Her mother seemed frightened and could even ba-rely make eye contact with her daughter, Martha. She was strangely scared of her behavior. Her mother now thought of her as a monster.
Martha noticed her mother was nervous and pale.
She left the place quickly without uttering a word to her.
She boarded a bus which took her straight to the college. She went to the roof top in no time.
*******************
“Hey! Marco!” Ashley shouted as she waved her hand to Marco which caught his attention.
“Oh…. Hey!” Marco replied as he walked towards her.
“By the way, Why did you ask to meet?” Marco asked.
“I want to tell you something” Ashley replied.
“Something? What is that? You could have just said it via phone call or you could have messaged me, What do you really want to say that we had to meet in school? I’m really curious right now”
“Stop talking already, Let’s go!” Ashley said as they p@$$ed the college’s gate. Marco smiled and followed her.
They walked to the last staircase close to the rooftop. Ashley stopped and sat down. She tapped the stair where she sat asking him to sit.
Marco then sat close to her.
“Marco?” She finally called which broke the awkward 5 minutes silence.
He looked at her. “Huh?” He whispered.
“I don’t really know how to say this, But I have to–Marco,, You have won my heart”
Marco looked at her and slowly blinked his eyes.
“You have every qualities of a good guy….Intelligence, Smart, Sweet, Cool, Nice, Polite, Kind, Easy going, Friendly, Cute and Uh…. Kind of handsome….I guess–She paused as both of them looked at each other’s eyes. They laughed softly.
“Marco, I–like you” She whispered softly still looking at his eyes. Marco wide-ned his eyes and smiled. He looked at her in silence.
“Idiot…. Oh my! Don’t make me regret my confession to you, You are suppose to do this to a girl you have a crush on…..especially now, She has accepted your feelings”
“What?” Marco whispered softly.
“You aren’t R0m-ntic at all,, Don’t worry….You now have a cute R0m-ntic girlfriend! Well,, This is what you should have done!”
She closed her eyes as she moved her head closer to his face, She stretched her ne-ck lightly landing him a slight ki-ss on his li-ps. Marco opened his eyes due to shock. Suddenly, He pulled Ashely close to him and closed his eyes gently. He took her li-ps into his mouth and ki-ssed her dee-ply. The hot ki-ss went on and on and Ashley found herself sitting on his lap-s while she gently tou-ched his face. On the other hand, Marco gently wrapped his arms around her wa-ist.
Marco devored her li-ps like it was an hot meal. They both paused for a while, Marco looked at Ashley who swallowed ha-rd and gently opened her eyes. She turned her gaze gently to him.
“Is it like that?” His soft voice asked in a very gentle whisper.
Ashley nodded her head childishly. Marco smiled, pulled his gl@$$es and placed it on the floor. Still on his lap-s, He went back to her li-ps again ki-ssing her more p@$$ionately than before.
*********************
Martha saw Barbara impatiently roaming on the open roof top. Barbara looked forward and sighed in relief.
“I’ve been waiting for you, ever since!” Barbara lamented.
“So, What of Ashley and Peter? Hope they are okay? You didn’t hurt them right?” Barbara muttered.
Martha began to laugh suddenly which upsetted Barbara.
“What is this? What do you think you are doing right now?” Do you think I’m joking!” Barbara yelled.
Martha didn’t reply but instead her laugh got more louder and wicked.
“Answer me! You monster!” Barbara yelled again, Her eyes were already blood shooted ready to shed waterfall tears.
“I… Can’t… ?… Believe… You? fell for that?, You fell for my dumb joke, You moron ?!” Martha said as she laughed more.
“Wha…..What? You lied to me?” Barbara stammered. Martha nodded happily as she giggled. “Yeah… It was fun ?!!!”
Barbara was already frustrated and also boiling in anger. She couldn’t control her rage any longer. She ran towards Martha like an angry charged bull and punched her heavily on her face. Martha felt it and looked at Barbara with her eyes wide opened. Martha also didn’t hesitate to attack back, She slapped her immediately.
“I think you now want a fight huh?….I was quite pretentious so you don’t really know what I’m capable of! However, I have a spoiler for you…. You, Barbara gets to die!” Martha said as a wicked smile came across her li-ps.
Barbara yelled angrily and rushed to Martha and then the fierce fight began.
****************
Martha’s mother was scared,She kept shivering in fear. She finally had an idea and called ru-by, Her(Martha), former cl@$$ teacher right away.
Meanwhile, ru-by who saw the call picked it up.
☎ Hello? Is this Mrs Robbie, Martha’s mother? ru-by asked.
☎ Yeah….It’s me
☎ Oh….Hello? Is there any problem? Why did you call?
☎ My daughter! I think she is going crazy! I don’t know why she changed all of the sudden! I think she’s the devil herself! I overheard her while she was talking in her room……Gosh, She gives me the creeps! I overheard her saying she wants to kill someone.
☎ What? Did she say who? Did she call a name?
☎ Yeah, She did!
☎ What did she say?
☎ Uhh… I think it was,What was it again? –Oh yeah, Barbara.
☎ What? Oh my God! What else did she say apa-rt from that?
☎ She later called the so-called Barbara and asked for a meet up in the school rooftop.
☎ The school? You mean Golden Dawn College?
☎ Yes
☎ Oh no! Please ma, I’ve to hang up now… Thanks for the information, Bye!

“Marco–Why do you like me?” Ashley whispered softly as she la-id her head gently on Marco’s lap-s.
Marco smiled and wore his gl@$$es back on his face. He tou-ched his rou-ghhair nervously and looked down at her.
“Well… I just like you because you are “YOU”…” He replied.
“What’s that? Does that even makes se-nse…” Ashley said as she laughed. She raised her head up from his lap-s and looked at him.
“I told you my reasons, I like you because you have good qualities,– I know I’m kind of rude and all but– Ashely was interrupted by a loud growl which came from her stomach.
She looked at Marco and bit her li-ps embarr@$$ed.
“Seems you are hungry? Let me get something for you to eat, So just wait–
“No, Don’t bother…..I’m not– Grwwwww! The Growling sound came louder again which made Ashley pause.
Marco laughed and left without a word.
“That was so embarr@$$ing!” She whispered to herself as she closed her eyes ti-ghtly.
Suddenly, She heard a loud scream which shocked her.
“Oh my! –What in the world was that? Seems it came from the rooftop” She whispered to her self. She stood up gently and walked up to the rooftop.
Immediately she was there, Her eyes caught Martha who had pushed Barbara down the roof.
However, Barbara managed to hold onto the blocks to avoid landing on the ha-rd ground down stairs.
Martha began to step on her hand in order to make her fall off but Barbara wouldn’t bulge despite the pain.
“Oh no… What should I do?” Ashely thought as she heard her heart beating fast. Luckily for her, She saw a big stick. She quietly took it and quickly ran to Martha without any second thought. She landed the stick heavily on Martha’s head who Gr0-ned in pain and fell down.
Ashley went to Barbara quickly and began to pull her up. Immediately, Barbara was pulled,, Ashely sli-pped and the case was reversed. Barbara was however quick in grabbing Ashely’s hand so she wouldn’t fall.
Ashely looked down frightened and saw her legs dangling freely on the mid air.
“Someone save us! What are we going to do?” Barbara yelled as she tried p-ulling Ashley up. Ashley case was entirely different because she was too far to be pulled up by only one person. Barbara tried p-ulling her up but couldn’t. She began to sweat heavily. Ashley hands couldn’t hold on any longer and her fin-gers began to sli-p away from Barbara’s grasp.
“Oh no….No, Please! No… Hold on! Is anyone there? Help us please!” Barabr@ yelled as she began to cry.
“It’s okay….Barbara” Ashely said softly.
“What’s okay? Just hold on…I just have to pull you up and then, we would be safe! Okay?!” Barbara said as she tried to hold onto Ashley’s hand.
Ashely breathed heavily. “Barbara? We are now friends right?” She asked suddenly in a whisper.
Barbara nodded her head vigorously, “Yes!Yes!Yes… We are friends! So, Just hold on..Please, Please!” She replied in heavy tears.
“That’s good….I’m happy now,I have a wish though?”
“What? Wish? Tell me”
“Make sure to get back with Peter” Ashley whispered with a sweet smile.
“And tell Marco I love him so much, I didn’t get to tell him that, I only said I liked him…. Barbara, I never got to tell you right? But you are the most sweetest friend ever–
Ashely paused and gasped, Their hands couldn’t hold on anymore. Their fin-gers were sli-pping away fas-ter.
“No….No, Please! No…. Please, Hold on…Please! Ashley….Please, Stay huh? Stay with me! Ple@$$ssee ????” Barbara said with tears.
Suddenly, It was over. It even seemed like time stopped. Ashley found herself speeding down to the ground.
Barbara yelled and began to run downstairs which even took long.
“No! No!” Barbara yelled crying like crazy as soon as she saw Ashley on the cold ground with blood spilling from her bo-dy.
She crawled with her knees to Ashley who was already soaked with blood. Barbara slowly tou-ched Ashley face but she couldn’t respond to stimuli.
Suddenly, ru-by and Marco came to the scene.
“What… What’s this?….What in the hell happened?” ru-by yelled in tears.
Marco started crying immediately and he suddenly yelled;
“Somebo-dy! Please….Save her!”
