Alice walked into the house. She walked to the stairs when she suddenly stopped. She decided to go to her mum and inform her about the party. "Mum," she called as she walked to her study. She entered and saw her father going through some files. He stood up immediately when he saw her."Hello princess," he said, smiling widely. "Hey dad, where is mum?" She asked. "She went to get something, she'll be back soon," he said. "How is school?" He asked. "It was fine dad," she replied. "I'll be in my room," she added. Alice was about to leave the study when Patricia entered. Her gaze went directly to Paul who was standing by her desk. Her eyes widened in shock. She dropped the glass of water she was holding, the glass shattered on impact."Mum!" Alice called in surprise. Patricia looked at Alice. She hadn't noticed her presence before as she was focused on the sight of her husband with a file on his hands. She forced a smile on her face."Hey Alice, I need you to go to your room right
Nora laid on her bed trying to get some sleep. But no matter how long she tries, sleep seems to be miles away from her. Frustrated, she got up and walked to the window. She stared into space. She heard a knock on her door. She wondered who it could be. She was sure her mother would still be chatting with Lucas by now, and her father would probably be in the study with his head buried in piles of files. "Who is it?" She asked. "It's me," came the response from the other side of the door. She recognized the voice to be her father's. She wondered if she had perhaps done something wrong and was going to be scolded. "Come in dad," she said as she mentally prepared herself for what might happen next. The door creaked open and Alex walked in with a tray of food in his hands. She was a bit surprised by the gesture. She hurried to him and was quick to collect the tray from him. She placed it on the small table in front of the couch. She proceeded to sit on the couch. Alex sat beside her
Alice opened her eyes and yawned. She stood up groggy and walked to the bathroom. She saw her reflection in the mirror and screamed. She was quick to place her hand on her mouth to prevent her from screaming further. Her hair looked disheveled and her eyes looked so puffy. She ran to the bathroom. She came out after taking a bath and stared at herself in the mirror. She smiled at her reflection. She remembered how your g cared for her the previous night. She chuckled slightly.She got dressed and left the room. She made a mental note to avoid her mother at any costs. With this thought, she walked sneakily down the stairs."Going somewhere this early, Alice,"Alice halted midways as she heard her mother's voice. She bit her lip and cursed inwardly. She turned around slowly and saw her mother standing with arms crossed. "Without breakfast too? "Patricia said with an eyebrow raised."Good morning mum, I'm just heading to school," Alice said and forced a smile on her face. "Good mornin
It was a typical day at Sunhill High, and the students were all in class, working on their latest assignments. In Ms. Johnson's class, the students were getting ready to start a new science project. Alice sat at her desk, looking confident and self-assured as she waited for the class to begin. Next to her, Nora sat quietly, her eyes fixed on the teacher's desk. The tension in the room was palpable, and the students could feel it in the air.Ms. Johnson stood up and began speaking, "Good morning, everyone! Today, we'll be starting a new science project…" she paused. "I've divided you all into groups of four," all the students groaned, revealing their disinterest. Ms. Johnson continued. "The groups will work together to complete the project. For this project, you'll be researching a local ecosystem. Each group will be assigned a different ecosystem, and you'll need to research its plants, animals, and other characteristics. You'll then write a report on your findings and present it to
"Oh there is a wallet here," Fred called the attention of the others. He picked it up and made to open it before Nora snatched it from his hands."Give it to me me," she said."Fine," Fred raised his hands defensively. "Hey! That is not fine. You can't just snatch something from someone like that." Alice fired at Nora. She snatched the wallet from her hands. "Give it back," Nora yelled."No I won't," Alice said. She tossed the wallet over to Reggie as Nora advanced towards her. "There is a passport, some money and some stuffs.." Reggie said, his voice trailing off.As Fred looked more closely at the bag, he realized that the body was inside it. The person had been stuffed into the bag and left in the forest. "Guys you need to see this," Fred said in horror. They all moved closer to the bag.The group was horrified, and they didn't know what to do.Suddenly, they heard the sound of sirens approaching. The police were on their way. The group looked at each other, their faces white
"Where is Reggie?" Fred asked "He is busy training with the rest. What do we do?" Alice cried."Keep your voice down, you're attracting people's attention." Nora hushed. "Let's go to the chemistry lab. It's the most isolated place when everyone is in class." She added."I'll get Reggie." Fred said before running off. "Hurry!" Alice said as they all split up.Fred ran off to the boy's locker room. He found Reggie with the rest of the football team."Hey nerd, what are you looking for? You're lost?" One of the boys said."No I'm here for Reggie." Fred said "Reggie can I see you for a moment?" He turned to Reggie."Why would you want to see the hottest jock in school, nerd?" The same boy said, advancing towards Fred."Back off, Thomas," Reginald said.Thomas turned to Reggie."Really man?!" He said."I'm not gonna repeat myself again." Reggie said.Thomas glanced at Fred one more time before retreating his steps. "Let's get out of here," Reggie said to Fred. "Thanks for standing up
The four friends sat in the police station, their hearts pounding. They had never been in a situation like this before. They were all scared and confused. The officer had just left the room, and they were left to sit in silence, trying to process everything that had happened. They had no idea what was going to happen next. All they could do was wait.The door opened and the Sheriff walked in holding a transparent bag containing a wallet in his hand. "Dad!" Nora called."You're in big trouble girl" he said through gritted teeth.He set the transparent bag down on the table in front of the four friends. "Your fingerprints were found on this wallet," he said. "We need you to tell us how that happened."The friends looked at each other, their minds racing. They were all thinking the same thing - what should they say? Could they deny it? Would that make them look guilty? They had no idea what to do."Please, just tell us the truth," the Sherrif said, his voice stern. "We found the wallet
On the other side of town, Nora was facing her parents' reaction to the news."You should have told us you were going into the woods!" Nora's father said, his voice raised in anger. "We had no idea where you were!""I'm sorry," Nora said, tears in her eyes. "I didn't mean to worry you. I just wanted to explore a little.""You could have been hurt!" her mother said, her voice trembling. "What if something had happened to you?""But nothing did," Nora said, trying to stay calm "and I was only there for a school project, we already explained everything to you dad." "Your teacher asked you to go into the woods?" her mother asked, her eyebrows raised in disbelief."Not exactly," Nora said. "We were just doing a research project on local flora and fauna, and we wanted to see some of the plants up close.""That doesn't make it any better," her mother said. "You should have told us where you were going.""I'm sorry," Nora said again. "I promise I'll be more careful in the future.""We're goi
