"We. won."
I was silent to Celine's words. To be honest, there is guilt and happiness in my heart right now. I feel guilty for sacrificing 2 people who love me. And I feel happy because finally my 'Perfect' dream will come true.
"Hurry, we'll take Nicho and your mother now! My organization will perform a ritual in XX city tonight so you can be perfect" Celine said with a smile.
I'm nodding. Quickly, I also brought the body of Mother who I just killed in front of Celine this morning. Then not long after, Celine handed the knife she was holding to me.
"Make an asterisk in the hands of both of them. It's a sign that you're sacrificing them on my organization."
I obey his words. Immediately I made an asterisk on their palms using the knife from Celine earlier. Somewhat horrified, because I'm not used to hurting people like this. Well, maybe for a while I haven't gotten used to this. I'm sure, next year, when I have to sacrifice 2 more people, I will definitely get used to doing this.
And..
Mom, I know this is wrong. I'm sorry so much. And Nicho, I'm sorry I suspected you of being so intent on killing Celine. Turns out, it's all because you love me so much, right? I'm sorry, I did it all because...
I want perfection in life.

(REVERSE STORY)
(Flashback, Back-school park at 10:15)
Suddenly, I remembered Nicho's words. The plan to kill Celine is not tomorrow? If Nicho's plan fails tomorrow, maybe he'll be mad at me, right? B-but, how do I persuade Celine to meet Nicho?
"Ehm, so. Look, Celine. Tomorrow there's a man who wants to see you, his name is Nicholas. Do you have time?"
Celine just laughed at my request, "There's something you're planning with Nicholas, right?"
DEG!
I was shocked to hear his words. N-no way! He can really read my mind! W-how could? Is it because he's perfect.he can be everything? Including reading minds?
"H-great.." I said softly.
"What?"
"You're really great" I said again in a rather loud voice. Celine smiled at my words.
"It's the first time you've praised me, Victoria" said Celine, who kept her smile.
"Really, I meant it!" Seruku firmly.
"Yes, I know. Therefore, this is the last time I offer you to join my Organization. Do you want to? You will be perfect like me without the slightest obstacle and obstacle. And most importantly, you'll be considered great by everyone."
As if hypnotized, I nodded. Agree with Celine's invitation to join her organization. For some reason, this time I was really interested in the one called 'Life perfection'.
But, problem..
Who am I going to sacrifice?
"But, my mom is.."
"I accidentally ran away from your house. So that your mother can love and love you again like before. Hows it? Still hesitant to join my organization?"
Silent. I still have some doubts actually. Then..
"Y-yes already then. I accept your offer." I replied in the end.
"But, by the way. I want to ask you one thing." Call me in the next second.
"What?"
"When nightfall..when I caught you eating something, was it human flesh? And does that include your organization's rules?"
Celine laughed, "No, that's not the rule of my organization. I'm a hobby of eating human flesh."
GLAKES!
Instantly I shuddered to hear his words.
"Yes already, then, tomorrow prepare yourself to sacrifice Nicholas and your own mother. And if you allow me, I'll taste their flesh a little" Celine said, displaying her horrible smile for the most part.

ONE YEAR LATER...
"Victoria Smith! You won the National Mathematical Olimipiade held last week, huh? Wowah great! You're really great!"
"No, I don't think you're just great, but you're so amazing! You can beat hundreds of students from various elite schools, when actually our school is mediocre!"
"You are absolutely perfect. Ah, it's a pity that Celine changed schools. But it's okay, now there's a replacement for you, the pride of the school and the pride of all of us."
I smiled sweetly at all my friends' words. Finally..my dream came true. I have achieved perfection in this life. Well, even though this 'perfection' is fake and not the result of my own efforts, I am still happy. At any rate and at any time, I'll be perfect forever..
"But, by the way, how can you be perfect like you? You must be studying hard, huh? Or is there a trick to being perfect? Haha."
Instantly, I stared at one of my friends who suddenly spoke like that. I know it was just a joke. But, there is no harm in looking for followers of the organization again? More followers, better, right?
Silent. No one speaks anything anymore. I don't know, maybe they're quiet because I'm quiet too. But in the next second, I opened my mouth slowly, trying to say something.
"Do you want to be like me?" ask me while showing my best smile to my friends.
