She's a criminal

Chapter 2

"I think she's dead", some girl whispers as I walk down the hallway. Sometimes I see Amilia's boyfriend in the hallway and he would give me these weird glances. But, today he came up to me looking a little too happy. "Hi Katie", he said with the biggest smile in the world. Shouldn't he be crying in bed and eating a tub of ice cream right now, I thought. "Oh hi Jake", I replied, looking at the ground and trying to ignore making eye contact. "I never see you these days ', he said. "I've been here the whole time Jake, you just don't acknowledge my present", I whispered. Indeed, Jake never used to look my way until Amilia went missing. "I'm sorry," he said. Lifting my head I respond, "there is nothing to be sorry for Jake, I'll see you around."

After I walked away I could finally breathe after holding my breath for so long. It's weird that Jake was talking to me, maybe he just wanted something from me. When I walked into the classroom everyone was staring at me. In the classroom was a police officer, "Can I speak to you alone Ms. Peter", he spoke. "Sure", I already know what they want, the police department has been trying to talk to me for days. They all want the same thing, do you know what happened to Amilia Anderson? NO!!!,that's what I'm trying to figure out. "Mrs. peter I promise you're not in trouble. I just need to ask you some questions and clear up some accusations that have been made."

Walking into the police station there were so many people yet it was so quiet. "I'm officer White please, take a seat, Ms.Peter." I was so nervous my heart was beating 10 times as fast. "Okay", he finally spoke," According to your classmates Kenya Bayley, on April the 10th, the week before Amilia went missing you were spotted arguing with her in the hallways at school." Who is Kenya Bayley? I haven't heard that name a day in my life." I said frantically. "You once were friends with Amilia, is that correct?", he questioned."Yes", I replied. "Describe your relationship with Amilia." There is nothing to say, me and Amilia were best friends then suddenly we were not", I answered."In 5th grade when I was getting bullied she stood up for me, we did everything together, and we spent so much time together that she practically lived at my house. " Thank you so much, that will be all Ms.Peter,".

I didn't go back to school after the police station, I went straight home. When I got home I got in the shower and lay on my bed. I can't stop thinking about Kenya Bayley. Who is she? Was she one of Amilia's friends? I thought. It was currently 9 A.M and I was not gonna let my day be ruined because of Kenya Bayley. So I decided to get up and go to the grocery store.

I always do the grocery shopping since my mom is not able to. When I was nine my dad left and he never came back. I thought I was daddy's little girl and that he would never leave me. I remember that day very well. I was playing with my toys then mom and dad came downstairs arguing. He bends down and kisses my forehead," I love you, my little princess." I remember crying, "Please don't go daddy," I said. I may have been young but I wasn't stupid I knew he was leaving us. He walked out the door and then he was gone just like that. Mom worked all the time after he left, she was a single mother trying to raise a teenager and trying to pay the bills. Mom and I promised to never talk about him ever again after that one time I asked her if daddy was coming back when I was twelve and she said no.
