Collins went home and made for bed. He kept thinking who was behind everything but ignored it for some time. He had to confront Michelle on this.
On reaching school the next day, he met Michelle during lunchtime and confronted her with the words of Norah.
Michelle got angry and decided to deal with Norah for speaking that way to Collins about her. She went over to her desk but didn't see her or her bag.
She asked some students in the class for Norah but she was told that no one had seen her that day.
She got furious and thought in her mind that Norah must have been scared of her for lying and so decided not to come to school when she left her a note, threatening her.
She then put it inside her locker and left the class. Norah didn't come to school for the whole week and everyone wondered what was wrong with her.
