Monday, Tokyo
As I handed a wad of notes over to the taxi driver I looked at the building infront of me. According to my informats JJ was due to walk past here on her way to school in a few minutes. I carefully brushed down my new uniform - a white (uncomfortably tight) shirt on top of a dark green skirt and went through my plan. It was simple - a plan that I loved. I heard footsteps coming down the alleyway. I smiled to myself and set my plan into motion.
I threw my bag down on the floor and screamed, falling onto my knees. I allowed myself a small smile as the tears started streaming down my face. The flute in my bag lay on the floor infront of me - a prop for the school.I ripped my skirt and rubbed dirt onto the knees of my stockings. I assumed my most pathetic and innocent expression and started screaming. I could hear the footsteps speeding up at the end of the alleyway and I toned my screaming down, turning it into sobs. As two girls appeared out of the end of the alleyway I turned my head slightly. Yes, one was definately JJ - the black hair was a giveaway - and the other girl was .... what was her name? Oh yes, it was Rei. I resumed my silent sobbing.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Rei ran up to me, a look of concern on her face. "What happened? Were you screaming? Oh my gosh!" She waved over JJ who was standing a bit away, watching with an unreadable expression on her face.
"She must go to our school, look at the uniform!" Rei said to JJ. JJ looked at me, smiling sympathetically.
"What's your name?"
I sniffed. "K-kat..."
"Kat?"
Oh well. I couldnt tell them my real name. It would do.
"Are you new to our school? You look like youd probably be in my year."
She was really pushing herself to be sociable. Or maybe she really was concernede. Hopefully - I needed her to trust me.
Rei helped me up, picking up books and flute and putting them back into my bag for me.
"Can you walk?" I shakily got to my feet and let them both help me walk a bit further.
"My name's Rei-chan and this is J-chan."
"T-thank you," I said, pretending to limp.
"What happened to you? We heard screaming and then...?"
"It sounded pretty bad," put in JJ.
Now was the time to put another stage into motion.
"J-ch-chan..?" I let myself wobble a bit beofre closing my eyes and falling forwards towards JJ and hitting the floor with a thud. I kept still and let myself fall asleep, enhancing the guise. As I felt myself drift off I heard cries for help and people shaking me. I was sure JJ put me into a sitting position, resting my head against her but by that time I was far away, my connciousness fleeing into the darkness.
I was one step closer to getting into the mind of the killer.
