THE WALKING DISASTER
“Don’t Get Too Close.”
Rain poured heavily outside Blackthorne Academy as the new transfer student stepped through the giant gates
Elira Vale
Quiet. Smart. Broke.
Exactly the kind of person who never survived in a school full of rich monsters
Students whispered while staring at her
student :She’s in Class A
Student:That means she’ll meet them
Elira
**Elira frowned**
Them?
Before she could ask, someone crashed into her shoulder intentionally
Carlota
**smirk**Watch where you’re going
Elira's books fell onto the wet floor.
Laughter echoed around the hallway.
Elira quietly bent down to pick them up—
Then the entire corridor suddenly became silent.
Completely silent.
Slow footsteps echoed behind her.
One
Two
Three
Four
Elira looked up
And saw them for the first time
Star stood first
Star stood first.
Long dark hair. Calm expression. Eyes cold enough to freeze someone alive
Beside her stood Somi, soft-looking and beautiful, but her stare carried something sharp underneath
KTJ leaned against the wall lazily twirling a silver ring around her finger with a bored expression
And in the center…
Cake smiled sweetly
Dangerously sweetly
The girl who pushed Elira stepped back nervously
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
**Cake tilted her head**
You made a mess
Carlota
I-I was just joking
𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑
Did she laugh??**Star asked coldly**
𝐊𝐓𝐉
**sighed dramatically**God… now I’m irritated
Somi walked forward quietly helping Elira pick up her wet books
𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐈
You okay? **she asked softly**
Cake suddenly crouched in front of the bully, smiling
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
You know**she whispered**I hate people who touch what isn’t theirs
Carlota
**The girl trembled** S-Sorry…
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
**Cake’s smile disappeared instantly**
Too late
The next day, rumors spread across the entire school
The bully’s father suddenly lost a huge business deal
Her friend group turned against her
And somebody leaked every secret she had online
Nobody proved it was the four girls
Nobody needed proof
Elira realized something terrifying that day
The girls weren’t normal
They were powerful
And somehow…
they had started noticing her
Pretty Things Break Easily
The cafeteria was loud until Elira accidentally sat at the wrong table
Their table
People stared like she had signed her own death certificate
Elira
**Elira immediately stood up** Sorry
𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑
Sit **Star said calmly**
𝐊𝐓𝐉
**KTJ smirked**Cute. She looks terrified
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
She should be**Cake laughed softly**
𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐈
**Somi placed juice in front of Elira**
Ignore them
Elira
**Elira looked between the four girls carefully**
You’re all really scary
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
**Cake grinned**
That means the rumors are working
For the first time in years…
the four girls laughed together openly
And something changed after that
Elira slowly became part of them
Late-night rooftop talks
Secret parties
Expensive car rides
Dangerous secrets
Inside the school, everyone envied her
But they didn’t know the truth
Being close to the girls meant seeing the cracks behind their beauty.
Star barely slept
KTJ hid panic attacks behind sarcasm
Somi cried alone when nobody watched
And Cake—
Cake smiled the most when she was hurting
The deeper Elira got into their world…
the more she realized something terrifying:
The friendship between the four girls wasn’t healthy
It was obsession
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
You ever think about leaving us?
The question came from Cake one night
The five girls sat on the rooftop under pink neon lights
Elira
**Elira blinked**Why would I?
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
**Cake stared at her silently**
Because people always leave
𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑
**Star looked away quietly**
𝐊𝐓𝐉
**KTJ scoffed**Not this emotional topic again
𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐈
**Somi whispered softly**
We just don’t want to lose each other
Elira finally understood then
The reason they were so dangerous…
was because the world had hurt them first
So they built their own world instead
A beautiful one
A toxic one
A deadly one
And now Elira was trapped inside it too
Blackthorne Academy looked beautiful at night
Golden lights. Luxury cars Expensive perfume floating through the air
And somewhere inside all that beauty—
people were rotting
The annual masquerade party was tonight
Which meant drama
Which meant blood
Elira stood in front of the mirror nervously while Somi fixed the ribbon on her black dress
𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐈
You’re shaking**Somi said softly**
Elira
I feel like everyone in this school wants to kill me
𝐊𝐓𝐉
**KTJ laughed from the couch**That means you’re finally fitting in
Cake walked into the room wearing a dark red dress that made the entire room feel dangerous
Even Elira stopped breathing for a second
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
**Cake smirked proudly**
I know. I’m hot
Star entered last
Simple black dress Silver jewelry Cold expression
Yet somehow…
she looked the scariest
𝐊𝐓𝐉
**KTJ whistled dramatically**And there goes the heartbreaker
Star ignored her
As always
A past
The party was massive
Music echoed through the mansion ballroom while students danced under crystal lights
Everyone stared when the five girls entered together
Whispers spread instantly
students: they came together.
God… they look insane.
Elira’s really part of their group now
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
**Cake wrapped an arm around Elira possessively while walking**
Stay close
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
Because people here are snakes
𝐊𝐓𝐉
**KTJ leaned near Elira with a grin**
And because Cake bites when jealous
Somi giggled softly while Star silently scanned the crowd
That’s when her expression changed
Elira noticed immediately
𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑
**Star’s eyes darkened slightly**
He’s here
The atmosphere instantly shifted
Even Cake stopped smiling
𝐊𝐓𝐉
**KTJ muttered under her breath** Oh for fuck’s sake
Elira
**Elira frowned**
Who
Nobody answered
Then a voice came from behind.
Elira turned.
A tall boy stood there wearing a black suit and silver mask
Beautiful
Dangerous
Arrogant
And judging from the way the girls reacted—
someone important
Cake’s smile vanished completely
REX
**The boy smirked lazily**
Missed me?
No,” all four girls answered together
REX
**Rex looked at her curiously**
And who’s the new doll?
𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄
**Cake immediately stepped in front of Elira**
Don’t look at her
REX
Oh?**His eyes narrowed playfully** So you actually care about this one
𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑
**Star’s voice turned icy**
Leave
REX
**But Rex only smiled wider**
You girls still act like I destroyed your lives
𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐈
You did **Somi whispered quietly**
For the first time—
Elira saw pain flash across all four girls’ faces
Real pain
Not anger
Not annoyance
Something deeper
Something broken
And suddenly she realized
Rex wasn’t just an enemy
He used to be part of them
