Chapter Two: Liza
Oswald stretched, yawning as he woke up Monday morning. He smiled as he remembered getting rid of Kristen. Now he needed to find out who this Liza girl was and find a way to get rid of her. He got ready, doing his hair with a wide grin as he looked himself in the mirror. He thought his new spiky hair do looked perfect. He blushed and wondered if Ed would notice. He walked over to his Edward shrine, smiling at it with a heavy sigh. "Oh Edward..soon will be together my love.
After I can be sure there will be no interferences." he said with a small purr as he ran his hand over the picture gently before grabbing his school bag and walking to school with a hum. When he got to school, the first thing he did was stalk Edward who was sitting at the foutain, reading a book. He still looked very downtrodden from Kristen's death. He finally saw a brown haired girl walk up to him, holding a box of what looked like brownies.
She smiled sweetly at Edward. "Hello Edward..I'm sorry for your friend. I made you these." she said, offering him one. Ed smiled up at Liza weakly and gingerly took one. "Thank you..Liza..I miss her so much..she never told me Tom was harassing her again..I never thought he'd actually do something like this.." he whispered.
Liza sighed as she sat next to him. "Tom was already a cruel person to begin with..I'm glad he's in prison for life. Kristen wouldn't want you to be so sad. She'd want you to be your normal, happy self!" she said softly. Ed smiled a little, blushing a bit. Oswald growled lowly as he watched them and huffed, frowning deeply. 'That little bitch..how do I get rid of her..?' He thought to himself before a slow grin appeared on his lips and he slowly slinked away once class started.
After class, he followed Liza to the club room and entered, putting on a fake smile as he approached her. "Are you the club leader?" he asked her softly. Liza looked at Oswald with a bright smile. "Yes I am! Are you interested in joining?" she asked happily. Oswald nodded with a small smile. "Yes, I'm really interested in learning to cook." he said softly.
Liza smiled and giggled. "Well, we'd be happy to have you! Were about to cook something for a classroom party!" she said excitedly. Oswald grinned, inwardly thinking of ways he could sabotage anything Liza cooks. "Oh I'd love to help!" he said happily. Liza gave him membership and then helped him put on an apron before showing him the cooking supplies. He paid special attention to what Liza was baking. It seemed she was baking muffins. He grinned, giggling to himself as he wondered what he could put in them. He then looked at one of the more clumsier club members and smirked before following him. Once the boy's back was turned at the stairs, he quickly pushed him roughly. The boy screamed, tumbling down the stairs.
He then faked a shocked gasped. "Help! Someone fell down the stairs!" he cried before rushing to the boy while helping him up. "I'll take him to the nurse! Don't worry!" he said with a smile to a concerned student council member, Renee Montoya. He took him to the nurse with a fake worried look. Kathryn Monroe, the nurse of Gotham city high looked up at Oswald with a questioning look. "What happened here? Is Barry Allen a friend of yours?" she asked. Oswald nodded, setting him on the bed as Barry started to wake up. "Yes, he took a tumble down a set of stairs. Clumsy person." he said with a sigh. Kathryn sighed heavily and took note of the incident before opening the medicine cabinet.
While she was distracted, Oswald took a peek and grinned at the little bottle of Ipecac syrup in the cabinet. He read the label and saw that it could induce vomiting. He took it with a leather glove and hid it in his pocket before the nurse could see. He then sneaked away, heading back to the cooking club. It seemed Liza was just finishing with the muffins however, a delinquent known as Victor Zsasz caught her attention, making her leave her muffins she was about to bake unattended. Oswald walked over to the blueberry muffins, an evil smirk on his lips as he drizzled the vomit inducing medicine into Liza's muffins and hurried away to work on his own cooking.
Liza then put her muffins in to bake with a hum, unaware that they had been poisoned. Oswald watched with a sick grin when it came time to serve the classmates. He'd baked some sweet rolls his mother had taught him to make and he happily served one to Edward first, wanting to catch a glimpse of those pretty brown eyes. He almost sighed adoringly as he watched him eat it. 'He's so cute..I can't wait until no one's in my way and he can be mine forever..' he thought with a deep red blush. He then watched Liza serve her muffins and Oswald felt anger and disgust wash over him as she too served Ed first before the others. After awhile, they all got horribly sick from the medicine and Oswald tried very very hard not to laugh. Liza frowned, squeaking as she watched everyone throw up from her sabotaged muffins. "What..? What did I do..? I swear that wasn't supposed to happen!" she cried sadly. Sarah Essen, there teacher, sighed heavily.
"It's okay Liza. We all make mistakes. Maybe next time, try to be more careful in what you put in your food." she said softly. Liza nodded weakly, sniffling and frowning. "Yes ma'm.." she said timidly. Oswald giggled as he walked home from school that day, deciding to sabotage more of Liza's attempts to steal his Edward before he took her out of her misery.
On Tuesday, Oswald followed Liza to the club room where he watched her bake brownies. This time, he brought a bag with some marijuana and planned to put them inside the brownies before he snitched on her to principal Barnes. When Liza stepped away, he planted the marijauna into the brownies with a devilish smirk before hurrying to Barne's office. "Uh..Mr. Barnes? I..have to tell you something. It's about my friend Liza.." he said nervously. Barnes looked up at him curiously. "What do you need to tell me, Cobblepot?" he asked. Oswald fidgeted and frowned. "I don't know why but..I saw Liza put marijuana in her brownies today.." he said softly. Barne's eyes widened. "Are you serious? This behaviour won't be tolerated. I'll have one of our council members take a look!" he said with a deep frown. Oswald inwardly smirked and nodded. "Thank you sir.." he said softly before he walked away with an evil grin. Renee Montoya, one of Sofia Falcone's trusted Student Council members walked over to Liza with a stern look just before she could serve her dessert.
"Renee?" she asked softly. Renee frowned. "I need to take a look at your brownies. Someone told the principal they saw you put weed in them." she said. Liza gasped. "I'd never do that! I'm not a stoner!" she cried. Renee took a look at the brownies and sniffed them, eyes widening. "Then explain why they smell like weed? I think you'd better follow me to the principal!" she huffed. Liza started to cry as she was dragged away, all of her friends looking at her in shock. Oswald smirked widely as he watched the event unfold and giggled insanely, very soon he could end her life.
He watched her get yelled at by the principal and then followed her downtrodden frame to the fountain. Once she had her back turned, Oswald crept up behind her and smirked before grabbing her and shoving her face into the fountain, watching her struggle and scream as he killed her. He giggled, leaving her dead body for someone to find before leaving.
Ed was devastated by the news of Liza dying by drowning herself in the fountain. Oswald watched him cry at the fountain and pouted, wishing he could go up and talk to him. But he couldn't yet distract himself. Since he had more freetime, perhaps he could spend the rest of the week romancing Edward. He smiled, leaving a love note in his locker.
Ed saw the note and gave a shy smile, holding the note to his chest. Perhaps..there was someone out there who loved him. Oswald stalked him all the way home, smiling shyly as he followed. He ended up snagging something else for his shrine to Edward as well. One of his green socks with question marks. He giggled as he took it home. Fish called him late that night, surprising Oswald while he was looking through Ed's twitter. "Hello Oswald, I heard about Liza. Good job." she said softly. Oswald grinned a little. "It wasn't too hard. I just had to embarass her enough to get her alone.." he said softly. Fish smirked on the other end. "Well, I'm afraid to tell you this but next week, you will have another rival after your Ed's heart. Remember Kristen's twin? The popular drama club girl named Isabella? She's coming back next week. And I can already tell you her schedule." she said.
Oswald perked up with interest. "Oh..?" he asked sofly. Fish responded. "She'll be harder to get rid of as she's always seen with her friend, Iris West. Both girls are cruel snobs who think they're better than everyone else. They usually look down upon people like us Oswald. Both of them are always seen on their phones but Isabella is forgetful sometimes..perhaps you could use that to eliminate her." she said softly. "Although another thing I'd reccomend is kidnapping her friend and forcing her to kill Isabella after breaking the two apart.." she said. Oswald smirked evilly. "I like that idea..I'd better rest then.." he said softly before hanging up and going to bed.
