The murder of Greystone park

chapter 3

Beep beep

Slowly I open my eyes as I reach to turn off my alarm. I yawn and grogally get out of bed. As I walk down the stairs I hear mum chipper voice "Morning honey sleep well?". "Yeah, I guess"I say as I walk towards the kitchen to make breakfast. As I start to make breakfast I hear Dad get up. As I scroll through my phone I see there is a missing person with a reward of $100. Ernest Hendrix, a wanted criminal who escaped from jail four days ago and is guilty of grand theft and accused murder of 21-year-old Jennifer Woodward, his girlfriend at the time. Disgusting I think I hate people like this killing people for no reason taking what is not theirs it's absolutely disgusting. I put my phone down and ate my breakfast. As I munch on porridge I think about Ernest 'wonder if he actually killed her. If so, what were her motives for doing so? Surely someone would just kill someone for no reason, there has to be some motive.' as I continue to zone out and think about what could have happened and why. See this happens to me a lot I just start to think and think and someone has to snap me out of it otherwise I'll continue to just stare in a random direction and think. "Jones you're doing it again" Dad says as he walks past me. "Ah sorry Dad". Dad just shakes his head and smiles as he walks away. I like Dad. He's quiet but can be funny and crack a dad joke or pun when needed. I get out of my seat and get ready for the day. I make sure to pack what I need: lunch, notebook, homework, pencil case, headphones and phone. As I walk out the door I put my headphones in and put on my favorite podcast. I make sure to say goodbye to Mum and Dad as I walk out the door.

As I walk down the street I see Oscar. But he seems off almost like someone had replaced him during the night. I walk up to him taking off my headphones. "Hey Oscar, how are you? You look like someone completely different are you alright?" I ask. He turns towards me and gives a weak smile. "Yeah I'm fine jones....." he says with a fake smile plastered on his face. I give him a concerned look "Are you sure?" I say placing a hand on his shoulder. "Yeah yeah, I'm fine just... tired," he says. "Ok but if there's something you want to tell me I won't judge," I say as I give him a reassuring look. "I know," he says with a weak smile. I decided to drop the subject as he seems to not want to talk about it and I don't want to be pushy.

We walk into school and low and behold Alice is in trouble again. But this time with Mrs Wattsapany. (Horrible name I know but I think it's funny) this time she's getting told off for speaking in class 'Not surprising' I think. "But I was just helping someone in class. And since you wouldn't do it I decided I would help" she says in a sarcastic tone. Mrs Wattsapany's face turns into a rage at that very moment "Excuse me! How dare you insult a teacher! This is unacceptable to the principal's office now!" she yells her face full of rage. "Whatever," Alice says as she walks off. "Badass" says Oscar. "More like idiotic," I say as I stare blankly at where she is standing.
