LISA'S POV

That was the second time I nearly fainted. It most definitely wasn't because of the kiss, it's just for some reason I keep getting flashbacks

Every time I get one I sketch it out in my journal so I can piece it together. So far I only have a drawing of a dark figure standing over me smiling evilly while I'm laying on the ground hurt and defenseless, which is pretty sad on my point

The bell rang and I got up from my desk and headed straight for the school doors to leave. I saw and made eye contact with Jennie, but continued walking the other way

I can't be around her she's too peppy for me and makes me think about certain things too hard, which I try to avoid

I just need a break from her right now

As I walked away towards my car a small part of me hurt after the thought of not wanting Jennie around, which is strange because I find her so...just so bothersome

I made it to my car and got in and began backing up and pulling out of the school's parking lot. I'm so glad my parents got a new key so I could drive again. Walking to school was such a pain. Literally. The injuries on my body have gotten better, but now and then I still feel pain from them

I stopped at the stop sign waiting to pull out of the school, but when I looked out my window I made immediate eye contact with Steven who was staring at me or more like glaring. He then smiled evilly

After he smiled I started getting a bad headache. I grabbed my head and tried shaking it away, but made it worse. Then in seconds, I felt memories slowly flooding back from that night and knew that person smiling evilly was none other than Steven. I'm kind of not surprised

I sat there in my car still holding my head for a while thinking and remembering everything, well not everything cause I still don't know Jennie. I heard cars honking behind me which caused me to snap out of my thoughts. I looked without looking in my rearview mirror and still saw Steven staring at my car while I drove away

I quickly got home and practically ran into my house straight to my room, ignoring my mom who was home at this time

I opened my room door, slammed it shut behind me then pulled out my sketchbook from my bag and sat down at my desk

I began rapidly sketching in my book not stopping until I had every detail finished. I looked at it and knew I was right. It was Steven who nearly killed me

I then heard a knock at my door, which did make me jump surprisingly. "Wait a minute," I said as I tore the sketched paper out of my book and folded it up and st, stuffed it into my back pocket

"Okay come in" I watched my room door open and to my surprise it was Chaeyoung

I roll my eyes and got up from my desk and sat on my bed. "What're you doing here? Also how come you weren't at school?" She rubbed her neck and smiled as she sat at my desk

"Sorry I made you worry. I was just doing some more investigation stuff"

I rolled my eyes, her and her investigation. She's not even a police officer

I laid back on my bed and looked at the ceiling. "So did you find any clues?" I asked turning to look at her

She smiled a big smile. "That's why I came here because I wanted to tell you first. So I was back at the crime scene and remembered your car keys were missing so I searched everywhere for them, but only found a bunch of trash"

"So that's the good news?" I asked feeling headaches forming while she was talking. I just want to be left alone so I can think

"No, because I just remembered if they couldn't find your keys and I couldn't, that could only mean two things, 1. The guy who beat you still has them or 2. He tossed them in the trash and they're long gone"

"I'm pretty sure if the guy was smart enough he would've thrown them away"

Chaeyoung shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe or maybe he still has them because he was too stupid to do that"

"So what're you going to do?" I asked trying to sound like I cared, which I kind of do, but I have other things to think about

She smiled again. "I'm going to sneak into the guy's house and look for them"

I sat up. "How do you know where the guy lives?"

"It's that's easy, because I'm positive the guy who did it was Steven, so I'm going to his house first"

She's crazy. Why doesn't she tell the cops or someone other than me? It's not like I can do anything. This is all giving me a headache now

"Can we talk about something else for a while?" I said rubbing my temple a bit while my headaches were slowly subsiding. Chaeyoung nodded her head

She then looked around and stopped since she was focused on my desk. She stayed like that for a second then I heard pages flipping

My sketchbook!

I got up and walked toward her and grabbed my sketchbook and put it in my drawer next to my bed. "No one is allowed to look through my sketchbook. That's private" I said to her when I remembered I had drawings of Jennie in my book, but I don't know why I cared that Chaeyoung didn't see

She nodded her head and then asked curiously. "How come you have a drawing of Jennie in your sketchbook?

I guess she did see
