Chapter 3

'Who's that?' Emily asked, curious. 'Wait a sec... Isn't that Jessalyn?? YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That annoying bi##h (八婆 ）is dead!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Natalie screamed and did a fist bump. 'Eh? 阿 Jess? That's- YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's her repayment for making me like a total idiot during class!!! And, for making me lose in the contest with Luna, plus--' 'Ka Jie!! (家姐/elder sister) Stop muttering rubbish!! Anyways, are we 100 percent sure that dead body belongs to Jess?' Natalie asked. Before Noelle Ching could even answer though...

'Jessalyn? Jessalyn?' A voice came and footsteps were heard from the corridor outiside the girls' bathroom. 'Uh oh! It's my teacher, Miss Tana. If she finds out, we'll be doomed,' Noelle said. Emily thought of a plan. 'Noelle, can you please scream once more? Natalie and I will pretend we've just went out of the individual rooms,' Emily asked. 'Sure. It's fine for me. Not get in before Miss Tana comes,' Noelle said and ushered them in. The next second, a deafening cry of horror can be heard form the girls' bathroom.

'Luckily I took acting lessons. Emily, follow my lead,' Natalie whispered. The two of them then rushed out of their respective 'hiding' places. 'O-Onee-chan!! And... What is this??' Natalie asked, putting on her best acting. 'N-Natalie?? Who is this person?' Emily asked and the teacher and the students came in immediately. All the students were shocked. Some of them even screamed loudly. The teacher and students looked at each other for a second, then whispered: 'three, two, one, HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ding Dong, The Witch is DEAD!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' All the students screamed. Some of them even did a victory dance. 'Let's stop dancing and let's celebrate!!! She's finally dead!!!! After what she did to us, she finally got her repayment!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!' A beautiful girl around 11 or 12 shouted. 'Good idea, Luna. Let's go!!' Noelle agreed. 'C'mon Ching Ching!! Let's celebrate!!' Natalie suggested. 'Okay! Maybe, I'll even get to solve a mystery like Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong in real life!!' Emily whispered. 'Stop fantasizing about being a detective. The school has called the police. They will handle the case. Let's go!! Onee-chan is waiting for us,' Natalie called and the two girls ran towards the classroom, which has been decorated like a party room.

W-Why does Natalie hate Jessalyn that much? So does the other students. And... Noelle... That hairstyle... That look... looks familiar... Like a TV celebrity... What is Natalie hiding from me? Who really is Noelle anyway?

Emily went into the room, shaking away these thoughts. For now, she will have to concentrate on the people to find out the murderer.

It doesn't matter if Natalie forbids me to investigate. I'll do it even faster than the police... Nothing can stop me form achieving my dream of being a detective!!! Emily!! You can do it!!
