𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗗
Five years ago, a schoolgirl Andie Bell was
murdered by Sal Singh. The police know he
did it. Everyone in town knows he did it.
But having grown up in the same small
town...
JADEN WAS WALKING DOWN the street headed to the small and only supermarket in little Kilton, with her headphones on, Lana Del Rey playing.
She was wearing a pair of blue Jean shorts that reached just above her knees, a tank top that had a fairy holding a butterfly in it's left hand drawn on it with the words Where did you go my Love! under the drawing and a green, blue and red shirt over her tanktop along with her dark blue converse and a heart necklace that her sister, Andie had given her for her thirteenth birthday. She also had her beige tote bag with flowers, hanging over her shoulder.

She had to go get pads since they ran out of those and possibly get some groceries. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of the mini supermarket and pushed the glass door, stepping inside, the cold air breeze hitting her face. She put my red heart sunglasses over her head, walking over to the feminine hygiene aisle and getting the things she needed.
She wandered around the market, looking throughout some random stuff like other sunglasses or pens and pencils, picking up things that they needed. In all honesty, she was bored out of her mind. Her and her sister didn't have a lot of things to do around the house, except, well watching TV, but that doesn't count.
Damn it, I really should make friends, that I can hang out with.
She thought to herself, sighing.
After she was done shopping, she went to checkout to pay for her things. Jade got in line waiting patiently for her turn to pay. When It was finally her turn, Jaden pulled out her hello kitty wallet and took the hundred dollar bill that was in it to give it to the cashier.
When she saw that no one was taking the money, the girl looked up just to see the cashier staring down at her with nothing but pity. Her eyebrows knitted together and she signaled for the woman standing behind the desk to take the bill. "Oh, yeah. ...I'm sorry for your loss, by the way." The elder woman said, finally taking the bill.
She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Why are you apologizing? And that was five years ago. No need to mention it now." She answer sternly, getting fed up.
"No, you're completely right. I'm sorry I shouldn't hav-"
"Oh, hey Jay!" She turned around and saw Pip, Ravi and an older woman standing beside Pip who she's assuming is Pip's mother.
"Oh hi, Pip. Hi, Ravi." She greets them back and looks at the woman standing beside Pip. "Oh right!" Pip said quickly. "Mom, this is Jaden. Jaden, this is mom." Pip's mother smiled warmly at her and she smiled back. "Pleasure to meet you!" Jade says, as the cashier hands her her change. "The pleasure's all mine, sweetie!" She flashes a quick, genuine smile at the younger girl, as she starts to walk away from the checkout spot.
She stops in my tracks, standing before the doors of the mini supermarket, slightly fixing her bag making it more comfortable for her to hold. As she was preparing to exit she hears the conversation unfolding right behind her.
"You go ahead of us," She heard Pip's mom say, gesturing to Ravi, "we'll take much longer."
"Oh, really? Thanks."
Ravi strode up to the till and gave the woman working there one of his perfect smiles. He placed the milk down and said, "Just this, please."
Jaden turned around, curious only to see the creases crawling through the woman's skin as her face folded with disgust. Jade frowned at her. She scanned the milk, staring at Ravi with cold and noxious eyes. Fortunate, really, that looks couldn't actually kill. Ravi was looking down at his feet like he hadn't noticed but Jaden knew he had.
Something hot and primal stirred In Jaden's gut. Something that, in its infant stages, felt like nausea, but it kept swelling and boiling until it even reached her ears.
"One pound and forty-eight." The lady spat.
Ravi pulled out a five-pound note but when he tried to give her the money, she shuddered and withdrew her hand sharply. The note fell in an autumnal glide to the floor and Jaden ignited. That's when she decided to speak up.
"Hey." She said loudly, marching over to stand beside Ravi. "Do you have a problem?" Jade raised her brows.
"Jade, don't." Ravi said quietly.
"Excuse me, Leslie." Pip read out snidely from her name tag. "She asked you if you had a problem?"
"Yeah," the woman said, "I don't want him touching me." Jaden scoffed at that.
"But you had no problem with touching me? Talk about double standards. And lady, I think it's safe to say that he doesn't want you touching him,either. Stupidity might be catching." Jaden squinted her eyes at the lady.
"I'm going to call my manager."
"Yeah, you do that. I'll give them a sneak peek of the complaint emails I'll drown your head office in."
Ravi put the five-pound note down on the counter, picked up his milk and strode silently towards the exit. "Ravi?" Jade called out, as Pip glared at the cashier, standing beside Jaden.
"Woah." Pip's mom stepped forward now, hands up in the surrender position as she came to stand between Jade and the reddening Leslie.
Jaden turned on her heels, trainers screaming against the over-polished floor. Just before she reached the door, she called back: "Oh, but, Leslie, you should really see someone about getting that asshole remover from your face." Pip following, not so far behind her.
Outside they could see Ravi thirty feet away pacing quickly down the hill. Jade, who didn't run for anything, ran to catch him., leaving Pip in front of the market.
"Are you OK?" She frowned, stepping in front of him.
"No." He carried on round her, the giant milk bottle sloshing at his side.
"Did I do something wrong, I-"
Ravi turned, dark eyes flashing. He said, "Look, I don't need some kid I hardly know, fighting my battles for me. I'm not your problem, Jaden; don't try to make me your problem. You're only going to make things worse."
He kept walking and Jade watched him go until the shade from a cafe awning dimmed and took him away. Standing there, breathing hard, she felt the rage retreat back into her gut where it slowly simmered out. She was hollow when it left her.
