the truth will out / stella & parker ( blitz )

"Okay, come out."

She needed to work on staying hidden better. All of this was for Stella's safety anyways. Grady was out there and she's positive he's the one killing them off. "Cut the shady shit. I don't know who you are, but I do know that you're following me." Yeah, she really needed to work on her sneaking around. Wasn't she supposed to be the freak or outcast? People seemed to be able to notice her for once now.

"Wait a minute," Parker's eyes follow Stella's hand going to her waist, eyes narrowed towards her before she continues. "Parker, are you kidding me? I could recognize that poor posture anywhere." The tone of her voice changes, confidence oozing off of Stella as Parker stands carefully, looking around for a moment. No sign of Grady, but she had to be ready just in case. Never know when someone is going to strike.

Stella may be the most popular girl in the academy, but that didn't stop anyone with the desire to kill.

Even girls like her had limits.

"Go ahead, have your moment. Say what you need to say."

For a moment, Parker wants to say things she's never said in two years. Angrily shout the frustrations she's felt for Stella after her best friend was taken from her. Instead, she bites her cheek gently, lets the feeling spill over her before she straightens up, lets herself show some better posture. Confidence from her lips already there because no, Stella's never scared her, despite all of the bullying over the years.

"I think the killer is going to target you next." Nervous fingers messing with the sleeves over her jacket. "Figured if I followed you around, I could help you and catch the killer red handed." Would Stella believe her? She's not certain of what Stella thinks of the situation. Standing quietly up to Stella, she stares past her and then to the sides, not noticing anyone else. "I think it's Trust Fund-I mean Grady."

The name feels like poison upon her lips.
