Chapter 8

I went back to my room and opened the letter, it said "It's been a long time since we haven't met. Meet me at the café, I would tell you when to come on the phone on your prom day. Liebe Tom." Liebe meant to love so it meant to love, Tom. So, who is that guy Tom? And isn't prom day when she got lost? I think we might just have the first clue ever. I am still wet so I have to change so I quickly changed and decided I would skip one class and go to Lily.

Finally, I've arrived is not that long to come here, it's just 5 minutes. I quickly went to Lily and saw her. "Hey! How's it going? Wow! You're looking nice and I have something to tell you. When I located Tiana's phone it seemed like it was still in the school, maybe she must have dropped it while running away or being kidnapped," she said. "Wow that's amazing and I have to tell you something too. I found a clue about a boy sending her a letter. It seemed like the boy was meeting Tiana on prom day. Here you can read it." I said eagerly and gave her the paper. "That's shocking! I think you better run and don't worry about the school you can continue until you find Tiana. And make sure you do not act suspicious at all," she laughed. "Well, I mean I am getting used to it but it's huge and I am getting bullied you know but it's fine. I better get running bye," I said as I went back to the car. I got back to class before I couldn't be late for my class. I believe I skipped one of the classes but am not interested that much. In class, I started thinking about how I could find Tiana's phone. I gotta find it quickly since this is the richest school ever so, the cleaner here will clean every area and that will cause Tiana's phone to be missing. Maybe a cleaner might find it and will keep it. So, I must find it. The prom was downstairs and I have to get there.

The lunch bell rings as I rush to the assembly room, that's where the prom had been celebrated. It was celebrated at end of term 2. It was locked though I can see the balcony opened. Don't worry I am not going to go to the balcony by making tricks. I have to go down where Tiana might be landed when she jumped off. I searched everywhere but I still can't find it. But then I tripped! Ouch! It hurts so bad but when I tripped, I saw something shiny, it was her phone. I grabbed it and then decided to go back to my room. I just decided to hide it and then maybe I will open it later or maybe when I go meet Lily again. I was pleased to see another clue again. Now I have to find the boy whose name was Tom. As I walked through the hallway, I hit someone and someone behind me caught me. It was Max at the back and I don't know who the boy I hit was. "I am so sorry, I apologize," I said. He laughed "No worries my name is Tom. Wait I gotta go, see you later clumsy." He said as he run away. And I turned back to see Max. "I haven't introduced myself, haven't I? I am Max." Max said, he sounded weird and cool. "Thank you for saving me earlier in the day. I am Tenda." I replied with a small smile. "No worries it's fine," he said with a proud smile. "Bye now," I said. I was still thinking about Max when I walked away when I remembered that Tom, Tom! The one from the note! He just knew something.

I went to look for Tom but I couldn't, I had things to do and those are all unfinished. I think I have to go and search for Tom and ask him about where is Tiana. If he doesn't answer I have to scare him with a knife. Well, I am not getting into trouble I will just scare him maybe a fake one or a real one? That day I asked Jazz about Tom and she said that he is a DJ who works at night. So, I gotta go to him to see him that day at about 8:00. I dressed up in a black raincoat because I thought it might rain and it did. But the real reason was not to look like a student or a helpless girl. I was also holding an umbrella. Then, I saw him from a distance he was talking on the phone. I decided to get closer to him. "Hi. Remember me" I said. "Of course, I do, you are the girl who hit me this morning. What are you doing here?" he asked. "I was just walking to my friend Tiana's house. I was just going to give her mom a gift," I said. Tom looked at me shocked and terrified. "Do you know her?" I asked. "Yeah... of course, she's my classmate," he said nervously. Since I learned psychology before I can see that he was nervous and he was hiding something so I grabbed my knife and nearly stabbed him with the knife. "Tell me where is Tiana?" I asked. I stopped him from moving when he grabbed me, picked up my knife, and put the knife near my throat. "Who are you? Why would I ever tell you where is Tiana? You're not even a good fighter, why do you have to fight me?" He asked. "I am not a fighter I am a detective, Tiana's family hired me to look after Tiana," I said back. "How would I believe you?" he asked back. I struggled out on side of my hand and show him that the knife was fake. "Why would an enemy use a fake knife? Because I am not your enemy." I said and explained everything. He said that they were meeting that day to go out for dinner. But when he called her the phone suddenly dropped and she was offline. "I don't know where she is," he explained. There must be someone who hated her and kidnapped her. That day I heard the news and it said that TIANA'S FATHER WAS DEAD!
