who made the kill list?
❪ Ridgeway High, 1087 Blackthorn Drive, Oregon ❫

──────────────────

It started with a whisper.

By second period, it had become a scream.

The halls of Ridgeway High were buzzing with something more than usual exam stress and college apps. No one could pinpoint the exact moment it began, but by the time the bell rang after third, nearly every student had it on their phone — the same anonymous screenshot, posted to a burner account on Instagram, Twitter, Discord, even Snapchat stories. One graphic. One list. One question on everyone's lips:

Who made the Kill List?

The post was simple. A pale gray background, red serif font, no caption. Just:

❝ They all have it coming. ❞

1. ELIZA PARK
The Ice Queen – 18
Honor student. Ballet prodigy turned recluse. Sharp tongue, colder heart.
DECEASED

2. EVAN MARSH
The Teacher's Pet – 16
Yearbook editor. Told on half the class. Everyone hated his smug grin.

3. SIERRA VANCE
The Ex-Friend – 17
Turned her best friend in to save herself. Denies everything.

4. NOAH SANTOS
The Joker – 18
Made fun of everyone. Went too far. One kid switched schools.

5. ZOE SHIN
The Shadow – 17
Always in the back. Always listening. Posted things she shouldn't have.

6. RYDER MASON
The Creeper – 18
Obsessed with people he barely knew. Hidden cameras. Scary DMs.

7. DELANCEY NADINE ❝ NADIA ❞ CHUNG
The Overachiever – 18
Student council president. AP ace. Dartmouth-bound. Polished, perfect, and always ten steps ahead. People respect her. People fear her. But no one really knows her — and that's just how she likes it.

8. MARISOL ❝ MARI ❞ CASTILLO
The Loudmouth – 17
Artist, Boxer, bassist, debate club menace. Speaks her mind with precision and power. If there were a yearbook superlative for her, it'd be: "Most Likely to Make You Cry Without Raising Her Voice."

9. GABRIELLE ❝ GAB / GABBY ❞ LIND
The Queen Bee's Right Hand – 18
Beautiful, brutal, and untouchable. Her smile cuts deeper than knives. Rules the halls with cruelty, confidence, and just enough dirt on everyone to stay on top. Not loved — but definitely feared.

10. MATTHEO ❝ MATT ❞ GAVINO LEONE
The Team Captain – 18
Once invisible, now irresistible. Fame found him through football — and he hasn't looked back since. Parties, popularity, and praise follow him like a shadow. But even golden boys have cracks beneath the surface.

11. JULIAN DEAN ❝ JD ❞ DAVENPORT
The Honor Student – 17
Too smart for the jocks. Too normal for the nerds. Floats between groups with straight A's and a sharper mind than he lets on. Called a dork by those who don't know him — and forgotten by those who should've paid attention.

12. YALE BEREN
The Tennis Prince – 18
Star athlete with model looks and a heart no one can read. He's the jock who never brags, the crush who never speaks. Always watching, never revealing — and that silence keeps everyone guessing what he's hiding.

13. YUKI ❝ YU ❞ FABIENNE USUMAKI
The Bubbly Sweetheart – 17
Theatre and Band Club darling. Always smiling. But no one knows her after curtain call.

14. JULES ❝ JUJU / JULIE ❞ FELICITY MONROE
The Weird Band Kid – 18
Trumpet section leader. Collects cursed dolls. Once brought a taxidermy owl to school.

15. AURELIUS ❝ AURE / ELI ❞ NICO PARKER
The Human Sunshine – 17
Too smart for his own good. Too kind for his own safety. Tutors the jocks, cheers for the nerds, always smiling — but no one knows what he's hiding behind the camera.

❝ ....to be continued? ❞

Gasps. Laughter. Nervous silence. It was a circus of reactions — but none louder than the unspoken truth everyone kept circling back to:

Eliza Park was found dead the following morning.

Not metaphorically. Not in the way teens say "I'm dead" over a test score or a bad selfie.

Literally.

In the girls' locker room.

By a freshman.

Her neck bruised. Her eyes wide open. Her ballet flats perfectly placed beside her. A final performance she never planned.

By 10:30 AM, the school had descended into full chaos. Some screamed. Some laughed nervously. Some deleted their entire online footprint in the span of three minutes.

But nine people — the last nine on the list — felt it in their bones.

They weren't just names.

They were next.
