Pictures everywhere

Miles dropped me off as he was headed to uni .I walked to the school doors with the most perfect smile ever. I was walking towards my locker when Sally,Franca and Tricia ambushed me.
"Hey bestie." They chorused
"Hey guys, how was your weekends?"
" Mine was so boring,I was at home the whole time ." said Franca
"I went to a one-day camp in Miami ." babbled Trisha
We all stared at her
" A one-day camp? Does a thing exist?" Sally said disbelievingly
"I've never heard of such a thing. " I said.
"Well, that's probably because it was mostly confidential, almost everyone there was a kid of a celebrity or a famous and rich person."
"Lol that's so cool." Said Franca.
"Yeah I had so much fun and-
"I was at the hospital with my mum, the baby is in and it's a girl!" Said Sally
"Really, that's so amazing."I said.
We all squealed except Trisha.
"It's almost time for class, let's go and get our things."Trisha said interrupting our excitement
We checked our schedules and Trisha and I had chemistry whilst Sally and Franca had art class. So we split up and went our separate ways
During recess, I decided to head to the library to borrow a new book when I bumped into someone I didn't recognise. He looked as if he were in his mid-twenties so I assumed that it was a new teacher. The way he behaved implied that he knew me somehow but I couldn't recognise him from anywhere.
I asked him if he knew me but he just sped past me.
The rest of the day flew by and soon it was time for club meeting. My mum forbade me from joining clubs for some reason but I really wanted to join dance class. I'd been in only one meeting and that was the best day of my life until my mum embarrassed me in front of the whole dance team. Now I didn't know if I should stay or go.
As soon as I decided to stay,Miles called me and warned me again just that. Is he reading my mind or what?
So I started to head home. I took the bus and got off at my junction. As I turned into my street,I bumped into a woman sending us both to the floor.
Her bag flew open and its contents spilled unto the floor. I went to help her pick them when I noticed something. A picture that looked oddly familiar. I picked it up and stared at a picture of myself taken a week ago at the mall shopping with my friends. I was sitting on a chair laughing.
What in the name of Merlin was going on? So many thoughts were running through my head. So many questions. I looked up to see her staring at me. I opened my mouth to speak but she grabbed her bag and fled.
I run after her but she got into a blue Rolls-Royce and sped away. I just stared after the car in disbelief until I couldn't see it again
The hell?
I thought about my weird experience the whole way home. I couldn't comprehend what just happened. A woman I didn't know was keeping a picture of me that was taken whilst I was unaware of it being taken and now I just had no way to contact her. I turned the picture over and on the back was written
"Death comes sooner than ever"
Now I really really hard to know who that woman was and how I'm related to her.
Unnaturally, my mother's car was not in the driveway. She was always home before 3pm and it was 3:15. What could have happened to delay her today. I went in and proceeded to do my chores the learnt for about an hour. Still she was not home.
3:35 p.m. Then I proceeded to prepare a dinner of mashed potatoes and chicken wings. I was done with dinner. Still no sign of her. Just then, I got a call that made me open my mouth in disbelief. My mother had been arrested.
