CHAPTER 32Golden High School - public park."IT'S BRITTANY!" exclaimed Luke, amidst the crowd of gathered students.The commotion started a few minutes ago, after one of the students found Brittany hanging from the end of the second floor tile and she screamed hysterically afterwards. Other students and officials who heard the announcement of Brittany's disappearance immediately approached the location and formed a crowd to witness Brittany's fight for her life up there.The noise made by these panicked people caught the attention of Ace and Luke who were looking for Brittany in the parking lot (which happened to be close to where Brittany was found). The girl was found clinging to the end of the second-floor roof tile, which led directly to the dormitory's public garden."Shit! Why is she up there?! Hurry up and save her!" exclaimed Ace, to everyone around him.But their reactions only made Ace more confused and annoyed. How could those people not move from their places and instead

CHAPTE 34Golden High School, 09:50.The sound of the bathroom door knob being turned softly made Brittany, who had been sitting worriedly on her bed, turn around. She was waiting for Alicia, who had left a few moments ago to take a shower, but had not come out after an hour had passed."Alicia," Brittany murmured.The blonde-haired girl opened her mouth wide and didn't seem to blink for a while. That was until Alicia's finger snapped out of her reverie.Brittany let out a brief squeal before patting herself on both cheeks. "Oh my God, am I dreaming? Who is this girl in front of me?! Woohoo! Amazing! You look, you... Oh, my gosh, I almost stopped breathing," she said quickly.The excitement in the room was caused by Alicia's physical transformation. The Brooklyn-born girl had dyed her hair jet black and straightened it--with Brittany's straightening iron--so her face looked very defined now. Plus, she wears short bangs now.Her eyes had turned gray with soft lenses, while her eyebrows

CHAPTER 36New York City Police Department (NYPD) Headquarters, 1:00 pmThe young detective named Nicholas Gray looked up quickly when his coworker Hendrick Mckenzie--or Hendrick as he was more commonly known--tapped him on the shoulder. The hazel-eyed detective sat down in his chair--which was next to Nicholas' desk--and immediately handed Nicholas a dark brown folder. They had been in the same division (serious crimes division) for the past five years and their relationship had been very good. So it was natural for Nicholas to think of Hendrick as his own brother.Nicholas then enthusiastically accepted the folder Hendrick had given him. He had obviously been waiting for a lot of information from his colleague. "How is it?" and began to examine the sheets of paper inside carefully.Hendrick closed his mouth briefly. His eyes scanned the situation as he searched for the most appropriate words to explain everything to Nic at that moment. "This is very strange, Nic," he murmured hesita

CHAPTER 38"I don't think there's anything strange.Alicia and Brittany walked hand in hand with the other students to the sports stadium--which was in another building--at the Golden High dormitory that morning. Mr. Louis was the Golden High official who would be leading the fifty students in the gym that day. And let's just say that luck was on Alicia's side, because Brittany was also in the same class as her.Alicia and Brittany sat down in one of the stadium seats as soon as they arrived. "Are you sure? Why do you think James had to take that cocaine?" Alicia asked curiously.Mr. Louis seemed to have arrived late that morning. So Alicia and Brittany had more time to talk before class started.Brittany frowned. "To be honest, I didn't know he did drugs either. James has never done anything stupid in his life, other than putting an orange in his cereal bowl.""I see." Alicia nodded in understanding. Brittany seemed distracted by the question, so Alicia took her best friend's hand an

CHAPTER 40Golden High School sports stadium building."PRIITTTTTTTT!!!!!"The whistle blown by Mr. Louis immediately echoed throughout the stadium. Making the basketball game being played by the girls' team stop instantly. The official who devoted himself to teaching this sports class immediately informed that the sports class was over and the students could return to the main building to rest.Some of them immediately left the stadium, especially the boys who had been competing since earlier. While the group of girls decided to first pull over from the basketball court before returning to the main building."ATTENTION, ATTENTION!" someone exclaimed.The voice that called out loudly in the middle of the stadium suddenly made the girls stop their activities and turn towards the source of the sound. And the voice came from Selena. The shoulder-length haired girl suddenly stood on one of the stadium seats and called all the students there to come closer to her."As a member of the popul
