I woke up and walked down to my kitchen. I made coffee and turned the tv on and sat on the couch.
"We're in the Forest Hills trailer park in east Roane County. We don't have a lot of details now, but we can confirm that the body of Hawkins High student was discovered arely this morning. Police have not released the name..." The reporter spoke.
"Shit." I mumbled and quickly ran to the phone.
I grabbed the phone and dialed the FamilyVideos number. Steve and Robin were working there.
After a while someone picked up the phone.
"Yeah?" I heard Steve's voice.
"Have you heard that?" I asked.
"About the student? Yeah." He replied.
"I'm coming." I spoke and hang up the phone.
I grabbed my car keys and walked over to the main door. I opened them and Max was standing there.
I looked at her confused.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Is Dustin home?" She asked.
I sighed and turned around.
"Dustin!" I shouted.
"What?" I heard his voice.
"Come in." I said looking at Max.
[...]
We were in Dustin's room.
"Chrissy Cunningham?" Dustin looked at her in shock.
She saw who the student was. The one who got murdured.
"Is that the cheerleader?" I asked.
"You're sure it was Chrissy?" Dustin asked.
"Yes, in her cheerleader outfit. Same thing she was in when I saw her with Eddie." Max replied.
Eddie was one of Dustin's friends. I never met him but they were playing D&D together.
"Did you tell all this to the cops?" Dustin asked.
"No. No, but I... I can't be the only one who saw them together. They stood out." Max replied.
"Eddie the freak with Chrissy the cheerleader?" Dustin asked.
He couldn't believe it. And to be honest, me either.
"Exactly. You know, his name's not in the news yet or anything, but I guarantee you Eddie is suspect one now." Max replied.
"That's crazy. Eddie didn't do this. No way." Dustin spoke.
"We can't rule it out." Max spoke.
"Yes, we can." Dustin instisted.
"Dustin!" Max raised her voice.
"You don't know him like I do, Max. Okay? When we got to high school, Lucas made all his sports friends. Mike and me? I'm mean, no one was nice to us. No one except Eddie." Dustin spoke.
"Okay, okay... then we have to find him before the police do." I spoke. "We'll have make sure he's innocent."
Dustin sighed and sat down on the bed,
"Why haven't you told the cops this?" Dustin asked.
"Yeah, I want to know it too." I smiled innocently.
"I don't know." Max replied.
"You don't know?" I looked at her confused.
Max sighed and sat next to Dustin, I did the same.
