Chapter 02: Settling in

Chapter 02

I resumed fully at the college, I'm majoring in Fine arts, works out well since my aunt works at an art gallery. I live in an apartment not so far away from the college.

"Hey K.C" I nodded as my roommate, Jennifer walked into our apartment

"What's up??" I asked her

"Classes and I heard we have a field trip" I sighed and rolled on the bed. So much for studying in America

"I'm hungry" I groaned and looked at Jenny

"Wanna grab lunch??" She asked looking at me

"Yeah, I do"

"But I'm lazy" I said putting on a puppy face

"Not working, get up" she rolled her eyes

"It was worth a shot I guess" I grabbed my phone from the table

************

"Look at what the cat dragged in" I heard Merissa say as we walked into the restaurant

"B*tch" she coughed

"It's like the slap I gave you the other day was not resounding enough, abi??" I hit her on the head

"She's not worth it" Jenny said pulling me back

"Why don't you find us a table?, I'll bring our food over" she let go of my hand

"Oponu" I walked away from their table and sat by the table beside the window

"She's such a copycat, just because we're sitting by a window" Merissa said

"She's envious of us" Bella, her 'side kick' replied

"Emmm... you mean me, don't you??" Merissa asked eyeing Bella, I scoffed

"Ye... yeah... I do mean you" Bella replied looking a bit shocked

"Are you guys even friends?? Or are you just her follower??" I chuckled

"The food is here" Jenny sat in front of me

"Looks yummy" I said dropping my phone on the table

*************

"Emm...I forgot to tell you, I'd be spending my weekend at aunty Jane's place" I informed Jennifer as we walked home

"No problem, I would have loved to come along but I have a project to work on" she said looking at me

"No quams, I'll tell her you said hi tho" I replied

"So how's Josh??" I raised my eyebrows

"Whaaaaaat??! He's cool" she replied blushing

"See this one oh, for your mind" I said laughing

"Jenny and Josh sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G"

"He said he was gonna come over this weekend and you wouldn't be around so..." I raised my eyebrows

"No carry Belle ohhh" I said laughing

"What's Belle??" She looked serious

"Ha, I mean don't get pregnant, I won't babysit" I said running off

"Come back here" she said chasing after me

************

"Officer, what's going on here??" I asked as I saw police cars parked in front of our house

"Do you live here??" The black policeman asked me

"Yes sir, I went over to my Aunt's place for the weekend" I explained

"Why??"

"A miss Jennifer Aston was murdered here last night" He informed me

"It's not true, no that can't be true" I whispered and the man pointed at the body bag on top of a stretcher. As I opened the bag, I shook my head vigorously and fell back to the ground hitting my head other ground.

How could this have happened??!!!
