THE RECORD: From Behind The Camera, He Keeps Watching
CHAPTER 7: The Plan (Part 3)
This time it wasn't just the senior class gathered in the hall. Junior classes were gathered together until this spacious room was now fuller than before.
Primrose asked me to meet after the assembly in this hall is over. Which of course I do without babibu more. I'm desperate financially and I'm sure Primrose is the only way to go. Moutube and Primrose are the perfect mix for this problem.
“Advance Placement Test will be carried out early in the next month and I hope you learn more because after this, two more months we will hold glamping at Killington in order—” bla bla. All the students exploded in enthusiasm. But the words of Mr. Beneth didn't wake me up because what I'm thinking about right now is mom, money and what's been happening to me lately.
A strange grandmother who just keeps showing up and then disappears, the nightmare and the last incident in the vending machine …
Is that all my hallucinations?
Am I under stress, so that shadow of all sorts keeps perching in my mind?
Or what?
No no no, Izzy!
I slapped my face slowly to get my concentration back. I will decide if what happened yesterday is the effect of stress alone. Yeah, all I've seen is because I'm under a lot of pressure. I need to focus! Awake, Izzy!
“Alright enough to get here. Everything disperse, be careful on the road and go straight home!”
With the command of Mr. Beneth, all the students take turns out of the hall. Only me, Primrose and Delilah went towards the back building.
Now Primrose sat before me with his serious expression. Delilah stood behind and acted like a doorman. I look forward to his words expectantly.
And it's true.
“I want to offer you business.”
In accordance with my prediction.
This suddenly famous me will benefit him if I appear in his live streaming. Maybe Rose will have me clarify the incident for the canal to be crowded.
I'll negotiate asking her a lot. If this works, then gradually my debt to Lawrenceville will be paid off in no time.
But it turns out my guess this time was wrong.
“You know Vesta Hestia, right?”
My heart jerks.
I'm running my eyes wherever it's from not on Rose's pair of eyes. With a broken move I shook my head.
“Do not lie. I know your hometown is in Woodstock. Where Vesta Hestia is located.”
I just shut up. A cold sweat suddenly flowed from my back. Seeing the passive me, Rose pulled my hair back slowly until I looked closer at her.
“Woodstock is just over an hour away from Killington. When glamping, we will do live streaming there and read Vesta Hestia. Thirty percent of his income is for you. How?”
Vesta Hestia is known as a curse. Last year there was a case of the dead there that has not been resolved until now. According to information from the internet, now the location of the place was removed from the map without any explanation. It's clear something is there that's causing everything. An unresolved past history.
I told you that girl was the quickest way for me to get money and now Primrose will take me there. It's a win-win offer. The Primrose Canal will go up and I will thwart Lawrenceville taking my mother.
There are two paths I must choose.
Accept Primrose's offer or reject it.
Whatever it is, both will lead me down the same abyss.
