CHAPTER 5: FOUNDING (3)

Nightmare, it was just a very bad dream. Hopefully, this won't happen later. As I observed my surroundings I noticed that it was just right on time and the bell rang. The classes are over.

Alica en El tried to wake Kheres up like in my dreams, but this time he denied them and took his bag, and went home. Alica and El did not persuade him any longer since he was Kheres and they understood him for doing so.

Once again, not my concern walks out of the room like I'm not eavesdropping. I sigh heavily and carefully walk towards the gate of the school.

While walking, glimpses of the nightmare started to appear in me like it was reality. I stopped for a minute to collect myself. Breathe in, breathe out. I'm not gonna walk on that path again.

After deciding my alternative route on my way home, I started to feel nice and continued my walk.

The next day the incident happened and my nightmare came true. The student crushed was Alex, our classroom secretary. And the people inside the van were one of our classmates and her family.

This accident was reported by our subject teacher who was living nearby. All of us were shocked and Kheres, who was pretending to be asleep, woke up and listened too.

Today only 10 of us were present. 17 are absent and 3 are dead. After the classes in the morning, Andrew, one of our classmates, decided to gather all of us and tried to brainstorm this thing out.

"Guys! Before we head for a break we should analyze what happened to us. Many have already started rumors about us and only we can solve this matter." Implicit Andrew stated.

Ethan placed his foot on the top of his desk and said arrogantly.

"Maybe it's because of Kheres that we experience this." smirkingly.

"Hey! You don't have evidence so don't point fingers!" Alica exclaimed.

"Who said I don't?" Ethan replied with a smile.

Silence concerned the room, everyone was curious about what Ethan said next.

"I heard from the police that one of the suspects is Kheres. Since Kheres is the closest to Lorelai and he was not on the bus which makes him suspicious and his alibi was very vague in the first place." Ethan stated

"Should we leave this to the police? I mean we are just minors- some of us you know?"- Classmate 1

Ignoring the words of our classmate, El curiously asked.

"If Kheres was the suspect then he might go to prison since he's not a minor, then why would he do such a thing?" El asked.

"I don't know, let's ask him shall we?" Annoyingly Ethan said.

He smugly came over to Kheres desk and put his right foot on the table, kicking it slightly. Kheres, who was just listening to the conversion, looked at Ethan with a calm face.

"Why did you do it? I mean other than that I saw you both fighting before the trip right?" Explicitly, he said.

"Does that even concern you?" Kheres maintained a calm atmosphere regardless of what's happening.

"Agh!?" Taunted, he said.

"That's Enough! We need to cooperate to solve this!" - Andrew

"We are not detectives, we are just students here. Why do we need to solve this in the first place?!" - Classmate 2

Thankfully I'm just eating my food watching this chaotic event unfold. I bet they won't even realize that this is what the mastermind wanted from the start.
