ANASTASIA’S EVIL DOINGS

WHEN I GOT HOME, I turned on my phone. The ten missed calls from Francesca made my heart race. She had left several messages on my voice mail, sobbing and begging me to go to her place.

I rushed to talk to her, postponing all my plans of packing. Francesca had become my dearest friend and I couldn’t help but worry about her. It was supposed to be a cover up, but I felt attached to the girl, even if she had no idea of what I truly was. It had been a long time since I labeled a girl as my friend. Francesca was able to breach my barriers and sneak into my heart. She was funny, generous, and sweet. If she was in trouble, I would go out of my way to help her.

After three insistent knocks on her door, she finally opened. I immediately noticed her smeared makeup and puffy crying eyes. “What is wrong?”

“Oh, Sarah,” she sobbed and threw herself into my arms, hugging me. “I’m so stupid. I thought he liked me.”

Holding her, I asked even more mystified, “Who?”

“Sebastien.”

I rubbed her back and guided her inside her home. Closing the door behind me, I probed, “What happened?”

There was just a lamp in the corner illuminating the dim studio.

Francesca brushed her hair with her fingers as she sobbed, “I saw him with another girl. He invited me to his home, so we could study. I thought he wanted us to hang out and studying was the excuse. It’s been nice between us, you know. We kissed a few times.” I nodded. She sighed deeply as she brushed the tears from her eyes. “When I arrived at his apartment, the door was opened. After calling, no one replied. I went in and that was when I saw that bitch and him in the bedroom, sucking each other’s faces! When I called his name, he blankly looked at me as if he didn’t even recognize me. He didn’t reply to my questions. I hate him so much right now!”

“Wait up,” I demanded. An unsettling feeling began welling inside me. “Who was kissing Sebastien?”

“That bitch, your boyfriend’s sister. She’s engaged! Yet, she goes and steals someone else’s boyfriend!”

“Anastasia?” I asked, my heart pounding faster. That wasn’t good, that was not good at all. “When was that?”

“Like an hour ago.”

Putting my hands on her shoulders, I asked, “Are you all right?”

“No, I’m not all right. I hate him! I hate him, and I hate her! How could he do this to me?”

I stepped back and nibbled my lip. Francesca’s words troubled me. “I don’t think he—was able to resist,” I explained. “We need to go to Sebastien’s house.”

“What for? I don’t want to see them together. They are probably fucking right now,” she shrieked, fisting her hands. “She was all over him and he didn’t seem to be appalled by her. God! I was so naïve. I thought he was different. I thought we had something special.”

“We need to go to his place right now,” I urged her, thinking about the worst that could happen to Sebastien.
