Melissa quickly pulled out her phone and scanned the notification she received. She was relieved to finally have something to distract her from the useless conversation buzzing around the classroom. It was a picture of Rihanna Thomas, Carrie Thomas's big sister. A small frown spread across Melissa's face. Rihanna Thomas had went missing a few months ago. Naturally, nobody noticed till Kristine Liam went over to Carrie's house to return the gym clothes she borrowed. Kristine had noticed the stressed and frustrated looks everyone had. Once she asked Carrie what was wrong, she burst into tears and told Kristine everything. As soon as the news traveled to us, we made phone calls and posters to find Rihanna. We even held a fundraiser. But our attempts were in vain and Rihanna was labeled MIA. Melissa didn't know Rihanna personally but she knew Carrie. It hurt to see her mask her pain with a smile everyday. Speaking of Carrie, Melissa hasn't seen her all day. "Where is she?" She thought. She didn't have time to look because the teacher had came in and was ready for roll call. "Alright,alright settle down." Mr.Jones said calmly. The class soon became silent.
"Jonathan"
"Here!"
"Macy"
"Here!"
"Richard"
"Present!"
On and on went the list. Melissa only stopped to pay attention when her name was called, and when a name was repeated twice.
"Carrie"
Silence
"Carrie?"
Everyone turned to look at Carrie's seat. She wasn't there.
"Where's Carrie?"
No one knew who had said that but everyone's eyes said the same thing.
"I'm guilty."
