Who is it?

By Tomoya

It was not an ordinary lunchtime at the university. Many students were

afraid of a “serial killer” that is apparently in this university, except Kevin and
Patrick. “Hey, what if I have a knife with me all the time? Am I going to be

accused?” Kevin said jokingly. “Maybe. Well, Kevin, If people are so frightened,
you shouldn’t really joke about it.” Patrick replied, but Kevin went on. “Wait, if I

have a knife, I can just fight the killer! I’m definitely bringing one next week!”
Patrick did not reply, as he gave up on scolding this joking boy.

Time went by, and it was only 30 minutes before the campus would be
closed. Kevin was at his locker, collecting his notebooks from his locker. “Phew, I

was about to forget it!” Kevin said quietly. But it was at this moment when he
heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him. He looked slowly to where

the footsteps were coming from, and he was reminded of the rumor he heard
during lunchtime. Clown mask, black jacket, and a sharp knife. He ran

immediately with fear towards the gate. He hid in the bush near the gate and
waited until he heard the footsteps going away from him. He regretted joking

about the killer.
Two months passed. There were no more rumors about the killer, and

Kevin completely forgot about his nightmare-like experience. “Hey I have to
get my pen from my locker, can you come with me?” Patrick asked Kevin. “Sure, I

have to get mine too!” Kevin replied. But soon Kevin’s face made an expression
of utter fear, when he barely saw the mask and the jacket he saw two months

ago, placed behind the notebooks in Patrick’s locker. [290 words]
