why would you even bother telling someone your secrets before killing them

By the end of Bio, the halls are full of people eager to inform Bella and everyone else within earshot that her friend is a murderer. They have entirely the wrong attitude to have formed the impression because he just now murdered someone, and also her father hasn't come looking for her yet, so this is probably nonsense.

Bella goes to gym.
edgeofyourseat: Confused, distasteful. (⒀ it's been no bed of roses)

Next: Alice's lower back, his shirt and jeans both visible, the latter half falling off and bearing a slash across his hip that goes right through into the flesh underneath. A few lines of background suggest he is pressed against a flat surface.

Last: Alice's hands, flattened against asphalt, decorated with drips of what is presumably blood.

This sequence has taken him to the bottom of the original page, all the way down the other side, and halfway down the next one. He draws a sharp slashing line across this page, under the final image, and hands Bella her book back.

"Back in New York," he says. "Remember when I said 'got caught hooking' was making a really long story really short? Yeah." He gestures to the notebook. "There's the rest."
edgeofyourseat: Thoughtful. Possibly shirtless. (⑽ I kinda like it)

He shrugs. "Rip it out and burn it if you want. Or do whatever with it."
edgeofyourseat: Confused or hurt. (⑿ never been born at all)

Alice takes a deep breath, slowly.

Looks out the window.

Says, very quietly: "I get off on getting hurt."
edgeofyourseat: Sarcastic or disbelieving. (⑺ back into your place)

"Yeah, well. Apparently up here," he taps the side of his forehead, "if pushing Dave into a locker was a sex thing, then so was—that. Which explains why I got all weird about it."
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)

He shrugs.

"Okay. So what'd you mean?"
edgeofyourseat: Lurking. (⑻ out of the doorway)

"And that's the difference? Whether or not I started it?"
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

"...Thanks," he says, grinning wryly. "I guess."
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)

"Okay," says Alice.

He glances out the window again.

"...And there's my ride."
edgeofyourseat: Dancing wildly, grinning. (⑹ ride it where I like)

"Yep. Thanks," he says, and hops out of the car to go meet Theo.
