This can’t be true, this is not happening. I can’t believe my eyes, is this happening right now? I haven’t seen her in a long time. I tried to piece everything, but I cannot think anything other than just gawking at the person standing in front of me. Iam trying to reason what is she doing here but my mind is just blank with nothing.
Iam just staring at her, she has changed a lot. Once bubbly and petite girl has changed into a skinny and disturbed girl. She always had this warmth in her eyes but now there is this madness and an evil glint that is shinning very brightly.
“Maria Smith” is her name, she was with me for half of my life. She was a big part of my life, I was always smitten with her because she is perfect in everything. She was a popular girl and a social butterfly and a cheerleader. I was also popular and a social butterfly but not as much as maria. We were like two pods in a pea.
We were different from each other but still, we were inseparable. She was a party animal, iam a silent get-together type of a girl. She has the designer colourful wardrobe, where I had normal light-coloured clothes. She was a girly girl and iam somewhat tomboyish. But these differences never stopped us from being best of friends. Seeing her today is like going back to the time where every memory hurts, knowing your best friend tried to hurt you in the past and now she is doing it physically.
“M.. m.. arria”? I stuttered.
” it’s good to know that you remember me, iam impressed!” maria said smirking, I have never seen her like this. She always had a warm smile on her face. She is a different version of maria I know.
“Why? and what is this maria?”.
” Don’t pretend to be innocent Scarlett, you know bloody well why”.
” No maria, I don’t know anything that you are doing”.
” tsk tsk poor poor Scarlett, you are still the same Scarlett from the high school, you didn’t change a bit. Same naive Scarlett Williams”.
” But you are not the same maria from the high school and you have surely changed a lot and from the things you have done it’s not a good change”.
” yes, you are right about everything. With time and situations people change and I have changed too, and iam glad that it changed”.
” so, tell me why have you changed into this heartless monster which you are very proud of. because there is nothing proud to be a stalker and an attacker”. I asked wanting to know about the reason why she is doing this.
” don’t ask again and again why iam doing this Scarlett because you know the reason and you are the reason” she yelled.
“I will ask again and again maria because I want to know the real reason for your actions which you should not hold others responsible”.
” hahahahaha I see, Now iam seeing a total different Scarlett, I thought you were the same Scarlett but you are not. You have got little wings and I know how to cut them off”. Maria suddenly stopped laughing and the amount of hatred iam seeing in her eyes is scaring me. I don’t know, why she doing all these and why she is holding me responsible for what?.
” Don’t work your brain much and yeah you are the reason why my life was destroyed and you snatched away everything from me and you have to pay for it”. She started laughing maniacally.
” Are you okay maria?” iam not afraid of her anymore because she is familiar? Ex best friend? I asked her if she is okay or not because I genuinely want to know how she is doing. Because once she is my best friend whom I loved a lot and depended on each other for everything.
” Now you are asking me if iam okay or not? Where were you when iam not okay and I need you with me? You have lost your right to ask if iam okay or not”.
” don’t blame me maria you are the one who did everything and destroyed our friendship and don’t try to play the victim card”.
” iam not playing any victim card here Wiliams, it is your nature to act pitiful and play the victim card to get sympathized”. Maria scoffed.
” I don’t know what you are trying to prove and get from doing all these things and accusing me of the reasons I don’t know”. Iam tired and getting frustrated with her blame game.
“Aww is little princess getting angry now? Don’t worry I will tell you everything but on my terms”. Maria said getting excited with the same evil glint in her eyes.
“I don’t have time to waste on your petty games maria, get to the point right now, or else I will leave” she is getting on my nerves.
“I want to see you trying”. She smirked.
“I will leave if you don’t start telling me why you are doing this”. I threatened her but I know she is not buying it.
“I know you, Scarlett, you cant easily leave without knowing anything and I have arranged everything. So, don’t worry we have plenty of time”. Maria said with a smirk looking behind me tilting her head like signalling someone something. I didn’t get the chance to turn my head iam blinded by the black cloth on my head and my hands getting tied and iam being lifted by someone. Panic rose in my chest and iam helpless to do anything.
I thought that iam calm enough to face the stalker and iam calm seconds before iam being kidnapped. I just hope someone will find me before it’s too late.
