Inside Roksana Belle's desk drawer, were words etched by someone's sharp blade.

— A devilish girl until death.

Gossip spreads faster than air in the small kingdom called school.
I guess even the deceased didn’t know that the eternal silence of that day would lead to such outcomes.


Afternoons at Dunstonborough Boarding School were usually mundane.
Boring sunlight streaming down on the antiquated buildings, the regular ringing of the class bell.
Future elites were burying their heads in their desks like withered cabbages.
In a moment when boredom spread like a plague, what broke through the monotony was a piercing scream.

A scream so textbook perfect.

The epicenter was the 'Special Guidance Club' room in the East Wing. A zoo for troubled kids, or a storage for the school's shame.
The supervising teacher faced his worst performance as soon as he opened the door. His student, Roksana Belle was hanging from a ceiling beam, swaying like a chandelier. Like a horrific joke from the gods.
Her toes were brushing against the air, but gravity was especially fair that day.

In other words, it was quite the impressive exit.


But the real fun of this play was what came next.

Look at the students’ faces. The emotion of fear was cheaper than expected.
As the fog of panic and shock lifted, what filled the space was something far more primal and selfish.
Doubts naturally turned towards the other members of the 'Special Guidance Club'. They were the only ones who were in that hellish room with Roksana.


It was said that 'Golden Boy' David didn’t look well that day.

'Icy Queen' Evelyn bit her nails until they bled,

and the flirtatious Julian hadn’t cracked a joke with the girls.


Rumors spiraled and it became a foregone conclusion that one of them was the culprit.
No one cared about the truth. As long as it was interesting, it was fine.
Under the pouring gazes, they read each other’s faces.

The resolve to pass the noose around their own necks onto the person next to them.

The way to survive in this quagmire was one of two things. Find the culprit,
or create a flawless scapegoat.

And where their gazes were directed was right at you.

2026.03.04: I've made major revisions to the prompts! Since it was my first time making them, the previous prompts had a lot of issues...
It's still lacking in many ways, but thank you so much for enjoying it🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️
