I.

    Maxine [ jan 5, 2017. 9:15pm. ]:  Hey Zach!! 💕 It’s Max from biology 🔬 Do you want to maybe have a hot cocoa study date tonight? I definitely have the marine bio DOWN PAT but my other botany pro totally bailed on me!!! But I feel like if we put our heads together we could DOMINATE 🐟🌷 My roommate’s staying at her bf’s tonight so it’ll be nice and quiet :) And I know it’s sort of late so if you want to just come in sweatpants or whatever comfy PJ pants you’re wearing that is completely fine 👌 Or hey if you’re at the gym right now and you want to just come straight here after,

    Maxine [ jan 15, 2017. 11:50pm. ]:   Hey Z, can I ask you a quick question? about the flowers going around?

III.

   Maxine [ feb 19, 2017. 3:33am. ]:   I know it was you and I can’t wait to watch them fry you alive for this. I heard that sometimes people’s eyeballs pop out of their heads when they’re in the chair and I hope that happens to you but I hope that your eye is still connected to your skull by the nerves i hope that when it rolls on the floor you have to look at yourself in the last second of your life I don’t want you to go out screaming I want you in an unreal terror that leaves your throat too dry to make a sound 

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

   Maxine [ feb 19, 2017. 3:34am. ]:   I want to push you off the school’s roof I want to find you at the ground with all of your bones cracked so you can’t fight back when I choke you almost all to death then stop just before you get your release so I can drag your twitching mangled body across campus through the broken glass in the mud in the woods in the fog and I want to chop you up with Sid’s knife so slow it makes you regret dulling it and then I want to feed every fucking piece of you to your own fucking bears and I want to teach them how to rip you up all by themselves so I never have to hunt for them again you’ll be the last animal I kill I swear to god I swear to God

IV.

    Maxine [ feb 26, 2017. 6:01am. ]:   A madman asked me today if I would take a chance to annihilate anyone I wanted at this school and I don’t know if I told him the truth.

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

   Maxine [ feb 26, 2017. 6:02am. ]:   What I want for you when I’m laying in the hospital bed you put me in and what I want for you when I’m watching you cradle a fuzzy helpless bear cub are too different for me to figure out what I want for you when I’m standing still in the shower wondering if you’re really capable of what I think you’re capable of

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]    

   Maxine [ feb 26, 2017. 6:03am. ]:   Hey, I’ve been thinking a lot about you wasting away in prison and I think a life sentence in concrete walls with no access to nature would be crueler to you than the electric chair and I’m not sure how I feel about that 

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

   Maxine [ feb 26, 2017. 6:04am. ]:   Hey, I’ve been thinking a lot about you rotting in hell someday and it cured my closet atheism  

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

   Maxine [ feb 26, 2017. 6:05am. ]:   Hey, I’ve been thinking a lot about joining you in hell someday and us torturing each other for eternity and I haven’t been this excited to die since my trial went viral

    Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 2:13am. ]:  You loved her yet you killed her.

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

    Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 3:31am. ]:   You loved her so you killed her?

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

    Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 4:00am. ]:   Why are you doing this

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

    Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 4:50am. ]:   How are you doing this

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

    Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 4:56am. ]:   How are you faking this.

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

    Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 4:56am. ]:   How did you pull that off when you don’t know anything about technology

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

    Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 4:56am. ]:   How did you say something like that when you don’t know anything about sex

[ 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙. ]

    Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 6:49am. ]:   They think you’re easy to frame because they didn’t see the way you looked at her and they don’t know that you wouldn’t set a trap for a rabbit much less a human

[ 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃𝙆𝙄𝙉. ]

   Maxine [ may 1, 2017. 7:09am. ]:   You wouldn’t let a bear’s prey suffer but would you rip a worm in half would you press its skinny wriggling body til it breaks to see what you can squeeze out of it

[ Max ]: You really shouldn’t trust me with watching your plant for you.

[ Zach ]: Don’t say that! You are a very nice and pretty girl, Maxie. I’m sure my plants absolutely love you.

[ Zach ]: Just don’t forget the water at nights and everything will be alright.

[ Zach ]: And I’ll bake you something to thank you.

[ Max ]: You're a sweetheart, Z! But I think my roommate might be allergic to them. :(

[ Max ]: Is there anything else I could do to help you out?

[maxbronte]

Who are your suspects? Referring the Creeper thing I mean.

First thing’s first: I won’t call him The Creeper. Victor Salva already patented that. And it’s too easy. He’s given us enough to come up with something better. It’s a man– ssscis-gendered…? We don’t have any suspects who aren’t… traditionally… mainstream gendered… people. And the lack of subtlety screams BOY. He knows enough about plants to handpick specific flowers for every girl in the school. He’s a twisted romantic, a little witty. He has access to a penis. I think he’s repressed. Definitely a virgin. Timid for lack of tact, not lack of interest in talking to people. But he’s observant. He has to spend a lot of time around the campus, so I’m ruling out all employees, including the young ones. This is someone who watches the way his peers interact and keeps an eye on the unnatural mannerisms when certain topics come up in conversation. This is someone without much social life to distract him, or someone with shallow acquaintanceships but no friends to notice when he’s spending all of his time on a project like this. This is an outsider on the inside. So you can call him The Botanist, The Florist, The Casanova, The Anthropologist.

I’m calling him The Wallflower.

I’ll mention the three crossed off my list first:

ANDI MICHAELS. Reasonable suspect. He has the classic profile of a common serial killer: middle-aged man, agreeable personality, eerily mundane, a little awkward. But I don’t buy it. He doesn’t fit my profile. He’s not at the school often enough to study everyone. I don’t think he’s The Wallflower. But I don’t think he’s innocent outside of this specific context. He’s worth keeping an eye on.

CHARLIE KING. Investigated. Thoroughly. Don’t want to talk about it. Too old, anyway. And too genuine. You can’t fake the patience and kindness he had that night. He’s not frustrated enough to be The Wallflower. I don’t think he’s… without secrets, but I know this isn’t his.

TERENCE LICHT. Undeniably suspicious. And I think suspecting him is what helped me build the profile. But he’s a RED HERRING. He’s not on campus enough to pay as much attention as The Wallflower has to. When he’s around, he’s always busy, and he’s kind of a big deal. With girls especially. And he’s not stupid enough to incriminate himself by making flowers an M.O. It’s too obvious.

I really think it’s a student. Specifically…

SIMON REIGN. Sure has been lonely and quiet since all of his friends left last semester. Everyone’s always talking about how he never gets close to anyone or sticks around one place for long. Kinda troubling, when you think about it. And his roommate’s never around much to keep an eye on anything weird he’s doing. He has the perfect opportunity and the loneliness to boot. And the perfect alibi, of course, is how he conveniently came out as gay just a few weeks before our ladykiller hit the scene.

DARBY CHAPMAN. Do I want to suspect my friend? No. Is my friend awkward, standoffish in social situations, foreign, reportedly anxious as a result of childhood trauma, heterosexual, and not getting any? I mean, sorry, DC, but it’s kind of hard to rule out. 

GREY CAVERLY. He has the wit and the mystery. He’s a good liar– or he is when nobody’s onto him. He’s more romantic than he lets on. He’s friendly at face value, aloof enough that he doesn’t have any close friends, and I always find him on the sidelines of campus. I don’t want to think it’s Grey. I have plenty of reasons not to think it’s Grey, but I’m worried that being breathtakingly charming isn’t exactly a valid alibi. In fact, it’s a little more worrying.

ZACH COLTRANE. The problem with Zach is I don’t know much about him, but that’s a little incriminating in itself, isn’t it? But I don’t really think he has the capacity. He’s dealing with enough of his own weird baggage, from what people say about him. I doubt he knows enough about human etiquette to leave the kind of notes The Wallflower leaves, but I can say that about a lot of people on this list. Here’s the thing: when an offbeat classmate asks me to plant-sit for him, he gets a one-way ticket onto this list.

LEVIATHAN JAMES. I guess I can thank Jonah for being the jumping-off point, but Levi’s the perfect suspect. He’s got the outcast cred down pat. People don’t understand him. They get frustrated with him. They yell at him. They whack him around. And he doesn’t understand them, either. A stranger in a strange land and a quiet watcher who’s so DESPERATE to fit in. I don’t…. I just don’t trust him.

None of them are… perfectly logical. We can go back and forth debating all of them. But they’re the suspects I’ve got, and I’d rather investigate them than wait for better evidence to come to me.

Have you seen RILEY MENDEL around campus? He/They’re SEVENTEEN years old and a JUNIOR. I’ve heard that he/they’re here because THE GOVERNMENT PAYS THE SCHOOL TO KEEP HIM THERE, when in reality it’s probably a rumor. If you look at them closely they kinda resemble NICK ROBINSON, but maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me. (<3)

Welcome to Plath Academy for Troubled Teens, Riley Mendel! Nick Robinson is now taken. You have twenty-four hours to send your account in!

👀👊

👊 …someone who hates my muse.

Jimmy St. Clair probably hates Cypress Bronte? It’s almost certain that Jimmy St. Clair hates Cypress Bronte. There are a lot of reasons to hate Cypress Bronte too, but Cy knows why deep down, and he’s probably the only one that really knows why Jimmy hates him. Teddy King was the only person who could ramble on and on and on about Jimmy St. Clair and have the only words leave their mouth be completely positive.

Cypress Bronte knows he killed the only genuine L I G H T in Jimmy St. Clair’s life.

👀 …someone my muse likes, but doesn’t trust.

     Cypress likes Zach but he doesn’t know what to think of him. He knows he’s a Plant Boy, that’s why they even know each other in the first place. He’d like to know him more. But he also doesn’t know if he wants too.      There seems to be a lot of trouble that surrounds Zach and he already gets enough of that with Max’s hallucinations. And the TROUBLE with Zach just seems to be Zach as a person. Why would he force himself into that kind of fresh hell? Why would he trust someone like that anyway?
