Daniel scanned the walls of the college building, searching for a dorm where two of his buddies had been residing. They had invited him over for the night, wanting to celebrate the end of finals. Just a small party that is what it should've been, but in the end, it became something much worse.
He walked till he found the door; but stopped when he heard his friends talking inside. They were talking about him, and curious to know what they were talking about, he leaned up against the door. He pressed his ear up to the wood to hear what they were saying. Though their words were quiet, he could still picture what they were discussing.
"So, this cup is laced?"
"Yeah, it has a sharpie mark at the corner to tell the difference; don't drink out of that one."
"Should I just give it to him when he walks in?"
"No, no. We'll let Daniel get comfortable first, then ask if he wants a drink. If he says yes, then you hand it to him." 184Please respect copyright.PENANA4svwdEGB0L

"What if he says no?"
"Then we turn to plan B."
"Don't you think that will be too messy?"
"Listen, do you want the money or not?"
"..."
"That's what I thought. Now get ready; Daniel should be here soon."
Daniel was shocked; what were they planning to do to him? As he was about to go to his dorm, another student saw him seemingly eavesdropping on other students. Not knowing the context, they confronted him.
"Dude, what are you doing? You know how sus you look right now?"
Daniel whispered in response.
"It's not what it looks like; they are talking about me behind my back. I was listening to hear what they were saying about me."
His "friends" must've heard the other student talking to him, and so they started to worry someone had been listening to them.
"Hold on; I think someone has been listening to us!"
"Shit, wait, does that mean someone knows?"
"I hope not! Do you realize how much trouble we can get in?!"
Daniel could hear scurrying to the door, which prompted him to start bolting down the hallway. The standby just looked at Daniel, confused to why he was running, until the door suddenly opened. Daniel's "friends" grabbed the person standing by, thinking that they heard them discussing the plan to kill Daniel.
Daniel's "friends" drug them in through the door, keeping the stander's mouth covered to prevent their screams from radiating through the walls. Daniel ran to his dorm, locking the door behind him as he entered. His roommate seemed surprised that he was there.
"Whoah, I thought you went to a party; why back so soon?"
"I don't know, but there was something seriously wrong. I think my friends were going to kidnap me!" Daniel said, panting from running so fast.
His roommate frowned, seeming to be displeased.
Letting out a sigh, he said, "Well, that's a shame; I'm sorry that it had to end like this."
"Sorry for what? I'm just glad I'm not dead!"
Daniel slid his phone out of his pocket, ready to call the police. Only to feel a piercing stab from behind; blood soon erupted from his mouth.
"No hard feelings, but I need that money." His roommate said before pulling out a knife that pierced right through Daniel's heart. Killing Daniel instantly, he flopped to the ground. Daniel was soon dismembered and disposed of in a large garbage can outside the building. Hidden deeply below the other black bags of trash, and all for a quick buck. 184Please respect copyright.PENANA7v5MOzhdLV
