Chapter 8
Learning or murder?
“Miss Lorean and Miss Jenkins, keep it down!” Our teacher barked.
Jess rolled her eyes. “It’s Mrs. Jenkins, sir.”
The class exploded into giggles, and I could’ve sworn Mr. Hiat cracked a smile before smoothing it into an annoyed frown. “Is that so?”
Jess nodded, batting her eyelashes. I tried to contain my giggles as she stood up and flashed us a ring. “It is baby!”
The whole class cheered and started clapping, Jess did a little bow and then sashayed back to our desk. I was grinning so widely.
“Insane!”
“You know it,” Jess blew a kiss to the whole gawking class.
After that weird outburst, we started to settle down and actually work. My happiness from earlier deflated and I remembered the information I had learned in the past few days.
My older sister, who I adored, who I wanted to be like, who everyone thought was perfect.
Wasn’t that perfect at all.
I felt my mind straying from our hopeless assignment that was given to us, we were nearly done. But why should schoolwork matter? My sister was murdered, killed. And I have to make this replica of a house that was burned down years ago, when I could be solving Dorothy’s murder.
I thought of the boat, of the prank Rob described, I remember hearing that in the paper. We knew it was the prank, and we sympathized the girl, but we knew she should’ve kept her guard up. I mean, it has to a bit a strange, of a group of people being invited to a really popular party out of nowhere.
“They were partying on that yacht, I bet you they were drinking”. My sister doesn’t drink, she couldn’t, wouldn’t.
“When they did something it would usually lead to calling the police, extreme pranksters they were”. My sister scoffs at those people.
“Then they pushed some kid in the water, and she started freaking out because she saw the alligator”. My sister wouldn’t want to harm anyone.
I remember exactly what she said to me before she left, she had looked excited and she gave me a kiss on the cheek and told me she loved me about one hundred times. Dorothy was nervous too.
What did they do to her? What did Dorothy do? I heard the distinctive sound of a door slamming, a scream, yelling. As seconds passed the noise grew louder and louder, I thought I heard someone call my name. But before I could respond I was standing on a boat, loud music poured out of it, blasting my eardrums. People were entering, looking proud pleased, and popular. But they soon were going to get the shock of their life.
“It’s all set right?” I whipped around to see Dorothy in a cute mini blue dress, whispering nervously to a stunning brunette.
“Everything’s in perfect motion,” she said smoothly, a twisted edge in her eyes as she smiled and waved at her guests.
Dorothy grinned to, fingering a necklace as she threw a quick glance to the water. “Everything’s ready to go down.”
I felt myself deflate at the impending doom that was to be bestowed on these kids, the evidence that proved my sister was a part of this.
Let the prank commence.

Thursday
The book club meeting was held at the mall today. I didn't want to go at first but I soon realized I has nothing better to do. All my friends hate me. I was going up the escalator when I spotted Tammie, Jennifer and Hazel laughing and glancing at dresses. I don't know what persuaded me to do so but I dashed up the escalator and to them. They instantly stopped laughing when they saw me. Hazel was her usual bratty self. Tammie was being extra annoying and Jennifer actually showed some sign of her missing me. The others didn't like my being here, I guess. Tammie started insulting me and my clothes. I was so hurt that I couldn't think of something clever to say back. Instead I ran away and down the escalator until I reached the book club room. By this time, I was so distraught and in tears that I didn't even want to go to the stupid meeting. I wastes time wondering around the hall. I didn't want to be near anyone.

Tuesday
The preps have got on my nerves for the last time. They decides to expose my crush on Kyle. How dare they? Who do they think they are? Their leader was like we all know that Laurie likes Kyle. U was all like please, I so don't. Then we got into this huge argument. Jennifer, L. J, and Tammie had my back though. Jennifer started trash talking their leader, Carly Louis, and they rest of her desperate followers. Kyle interjected and said that if I liked him then it wasn't any of their business. This is why I like the boy so much. After school when I was walking him from school, Kyle caught up with me. He told me that he thought those girls were cruel and should stay in their own business. I couldn't agree more. He whirled around suddenly and kissed me! I was utterly speechless. He started stuttering and then sprinted off in the other direction before I could say anything. Yep, that kiss was everything that I had imagined it would be but why do I feel like it was so wrong.

"no" Kyle said. "I'm so sorry."
"What for? you were always there for us, what else could you have done?" James said.
"I could've been more of a brother, instead of your leader." Kyle said and looked at his brother.
"But then what would I have gotten angry at you for then?" James said they smiled at each other.
"Take care of them.Kyle said, " Kyle croaked, "Please?" James nodded "I will." James wanted to say dont go or something, but he knew it was time. "I'll be watching you, hot-head." he said.
James looked down and didn't speak.
"I wish it were different to." Kyle told him. James hugged Kyle tightly, "Say hi to mum for me"
"I will, bye" Kyle cried on James' shoulder and he cried on Kyle's. "To let you know, I do need you."
"Your a funny kind of brother, aren't you!?" Kyle whispered. "Goodbye." said James.
"Look under my bed, remember Sheila" his eyelids growing heavy. "James. You couldn't have stopped this"
"What do I do without you?" James asked.
"Live on"
