Chapter 9

Chapter 9: The crime

I was shocked to see the news but I knew that the one who kidnapped Tiana was the killer. This isn't a normal case or kidnapped case anymore in fact this case is a crime. I thought that I would get famous in NYC if I solve this or maybe I can just keep my identity a secret. I didn't know what to do but I went to the crime scene and saw some dust. The dust seemed like from a crashed building and it seemed like it had fallen down from someone's clothes. I didn't know what to do but I was very confused. So, the kidnapper kidnaps Tiana and killed her father. I started walking around to see some notes it seemed like important papers, in fact, it was an agreement paper that is made by Tiana's company and the other company. That company's CEO was named Dr. David. It seemed like they are good friends and they wouldn't betray each other. That night when I returned to my dorm room, I heard a sound from the hallway. I decided to go check it out, it was pretty scary to find a shadow just appeared and disappeared very quickly. It seemed like a ghost but I'm pretty sure it was a girl indeed.

The next morning in my dorm room I found Jazz busy with writing something she said was school work. But I think not. I walked out of my dorm room when I saw Max "Hey, Max." I said. I was going to ask him if was he out there yesterday because I really wondered who was out there in the middle of the night. But I realized that I shouldn't be asking it. "Hi, Tenda," he replied. "Did you hear the noises yesterday in the middle of the night? I saw a shadow when I go out and check for it, it was no one," I asked. "Not really. It must have been the janitor or someone else. Maybe it's a thief or a ghost?" He joked pretty badly. He wanted me to laugh but he sounded so creepy. "Come on ghosts aren't real but I do believe in them," I said back. He seemed surprised that I said I believed in ghosts. Actually, I was not joking at all because in the reality I really do believe in them as they are spirits. "Better watch out then, and don't get out of your dorm room. Especially at night," he said. He seemed worried about me and I was shy and nervous. Then suddenly, I heard the noise of all the people in the school shouting. It seemed like someone important was coming. It wasn't, it was an assistant giving the information about someone important who will come. He said that it's a student and they will celebrate a small party tonight to celebrate it. Everyone didn't know who was coming but Max seemed to know so I turned around to ask him. "Do you know who's coming?" I asked. "No, but I seemed to know, if he comes the school will burst out and every girl will fall for him. Will you too?" He asked very nervously and very eagerly to know the answer. "I don't know, I mean why would I fall for someone I just know now? Why would I trust someone I have met for a couple of days?" I answered. He was relieved in his mind and just walked away.

Party

That night was something and I wanted to go to the party. Don't worry guys I am not going to go there to see some handsome guys I am going there because the party is located in the assembly room. Did you get the sense now? So, I have to wear something to the party. It's like something more of a party vibe or princess vibe. I walk to my dorm room. I saw Stella and heard them saying "OMG who is going to come? Is it a handsome prince? I am sure he is. Because he literally sent his assistant. And a jerk won't throw a party for a welcoming day, am I right? I have to look like the most beautiful girl at that party. Give me the party gowns." I walked away and then I went to a gown shop to buy a dress. I found a black cute dress which I loved it. I really wanted to wear it but it's not like party vibes but I think I am going to wear it as I can't afford other expensive dresses which are made for the party. So, I wore that cute dress and I let my hair down and put a black bow at the back. Only one thing, the dress is too short for me I think I'd be fine with it too tho. I went to the party and saw lots of people wearing beautiful clothes. I think I am the only one who wears black shorts. I saw Jazz wearing a long party dress she dressed in white. Most people wear white or like light colors but some people wore dark blue and green. I saw Stella the only one wearing the biggest dress I have ever seen. She is wearing a very big dress and it looks so puffy and it doesn't look good on her. Wait guys don't think that we're forever enemies even though I say bad things, especially to her. And my apologies if I mention them to be the worst characters ever but they are such a jerk. Will let's continue so, yeah Stella looked extremely not well-fitted in her outfit. I saw Raven and Max entering the room at the same time. Why do they always have to be the same and always have to compete with each other? I have no idea why the coincidence is happening all the time. Oh, and I forgot to tell you that this is a masked party and we all have to wear masks. Then, I saw someone behind me trying to reach me. I turned quickly and made him fall. I saw that it was Raven and then reacted fast to help him not to fall. I was even surprised of myself by how fast I reacted. "You're looking nice today. Any chance we can go for a coffee tomorrow?" He asked. "Am... We'll see," I replied with a soft grin. I looked at the place for a while then.

The time had begun, the song in the background changed and the bodyguards or the assistants welcomed the new guy. He came out of the blinds and every girl was in shock. He walked down while everyone was shocked not me though. Was I? I mean I already knew the fact that a new student would come. But when I look at everyone, I saw that they might know who he is. It seemed like I am the only one who didn't know who he was yet. They seemed to know but they waited for him to take out his mask to clarify. He walked down the stairs and he came nearer to me and nearer. Then he finally came close to me and my heart bounced as if it were playing basketball. He took out his mask and I WAS SPEECHLESS.
