It's Monday. I take your book, to kill a mockingbird, to school. I have decided to tell the cop the truth; what was in the book I had taken from your locker and what had happened to it. I am not going to lose anything.
I need to do something, Ava. It's killing me to go on so dumb. I feel useless. I shouldn't have taken so long to find your killer and punish him right. It's time I stop acting like a coward. I take a deep breath and hold my head high as I walk. I'm doing it. I see Ms Sarah near her office.
"Excuse me, Ms Sarah. May I know when the police officer who had spoken to me on Friday will be here?" I ask.
Ms Sarah gives me a smile, "Noah, didn't you know?"
I frown at her, "Know what?"
"Ava's case has been closed since they found no evidence for it to be a murder. I don't think you have any need to meet the police officer. Get to your class, Noah." She says and walks into her room.
I looked around the place quite shocked. They closed your case? This shouldn't have happened. You were killed. These lazy, useless fuckers. The bell didn't ring yet. I can get to Jason quickly. I walk hurriedly to where the boys would be gathered, near the lockers. I find his usual gang of boys.
"Hey," I tap on one of the guy's shoulders, "have you seen Jason?"
The guy turns his attention from the others to me, "Why are you looking for him?"
I try not to lose my cool, "I need to talk to him."
"Guy is not here."
"Where is he? At home?" I can drive to his house after school. I can't go now. I have missed enough school days.
"He left for Singapore in the morning. Visiting his granny," the guy says and turns back to his friends. I feel my stomach drop in disappointment. I wanted to ask him when Jason would return but felt he wouldn't like it. To be honest, I'm blown out of my mind right now. On one side the cops have closed your case and on another, Jason is not even in the country. I tried not to come to a conclusion but couldn't help it. My mind was full of one single thought, did Jason do it and try to escape?
