| a good girls guide to murder |

ITS BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE THE ANDIE BELL CASE. The police has yet to find her body, Salil signh, her boyfriend, had been found dead. They say he killed himself after confessing to the murder of andie bell.

Marla signh thinks it's bullshit. Her brother wouldn't do something like that, especially when he truly loved andie. But then again, love does make you do crazy things. But In Marla's eyes, he was a great guy. She's not just saying that because he was her brother, no, she's saying that because she remembers that he said he loved andie and they were gonna leave someplace.

★彡 PRESENT DAY ★彡

PIPPA FIZTA-MOBI DECIDED THAT HER EPQ WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE ANDIE BELL CASE. Of course, she needed to gather evidence, and after walking past the Signh's house, she needed to talk to the siblings. And so that's what's she is going to do right now, the girl was following them after seeing them getting off a bus.

Ravi was the first one to notice, glancing back behind them. Wondering why a short brunette girl was following him and his sister. "Hi." Ravi said bluntly, a confused look on his face. This caused his little sister to take her headphones off and look behind them. Pip glanced between the two siblings.

"Do I know you?" Ravi asked confusingly, still concerned on the girl following them." "Nope, just taking a walk." The brunette girl said, looking at the two siblings once again. Marla just shrugged it off, and continued walking. Not like she can do anything anyways.

But of course, Ravi didn't follow, making his sister to stay behind as well. The taller boy glanced at the box in pippa's arms, causing pippa to respond. "With muffins." She said with a small smile. "Okay."

"Are you sure I can't help you with something?"

"Well, how do you know I'm not just heading this way?" Pippa argued, trying to cover up her plan on asking questions and following them. "Well, you're following us..so we would assume you want something." Marla interrupted, glancing at her sibling and shrugging. "Pretty reasonable to me." The girl sighed, and turned around. But she heard Ravi's voice once more, making her annoyed on why they couldn't just go home.

"Do I remember you from school?" Ravi questioned, "You did that assembly dressed as Florence nightingale."

"Uh, Emmeline Pankhurst, but, yes, that was me."

"That explains it, I was wondering why Florence nightingale would chain herself to the gym apparatus."

"Yeah, that didn't quite go as planned." Pippa said embarrassingly, remembering that day.

Marla sighed, already getting annoyed on them flirting is what she would like to call it. The girl just wanted to get home before they get called names or whatever. Marla just wants to lay in her comfy bed, eating and watching tv. The thought alone made her relaxed, but when Ravi and the random girl started walking, she was snapped out of her thoughts.

The girl quickly caught up to them, going by pippa's side. Ravi was trying the girls muffins, causing her to steal one. The tall boy glared at her, before going back into conversation with pippa. Marla thought the muffins were quite alright.

She guessed that he was trying to figure what was in them. "Vanilla essence?" Pippa smiled, "Yes."

"Touch of nutmeg?" He questioned, and pippa scoffed. "Your good." She smiled, "I could do better." Marla mumbled under her breath. "Okay, did I use fresh or frozen blueberries?" Pippa questioned, looking up at Ravi.

"Both?" The two signh siblings responded at the same time. "Muffin geniuses." They both smiled, "Why, thank you." Ravi said, smirking.

"Well, pedestrian with muffins, this is us."

"I'm pip." She smiled, "Nice name." Marla complimented, and the girl thanked her.

Pippa glanced between the two of them before speaking up. "I've actually been wanting to come by and talk to you about my EPQ, and so these are kind of..bribery muffins." She joked, hoping to bribe them into talking to her.

Ravi, seemingly confused asked her, "Your what?" Marla rolled her eyes, "Stupid, it's for a university application." She responded, before pippa can.

"Yeah, I'm doing the andie bell case," Pip hesitated, but responded anyway, "And your brother."

The signh siblings froze at the words of their brother, of course, Marla believed Sal was innocent. "So, yeah, I guess that's what I'm doing, and I was wondering if I could as you some questions." Pip finished off, glancing nervously but hopefully at the two siblings. Before marla could respond, Ravi did. "Oh wow, I think you should go."

"But-"

"Our brothers dead." Ravi said harshly, walking to the door and opening it, leaving the two girls behind. Marla glanced at pippa, just to see she was already looking at her. Marla sighed, turning to face the girl infront of her.

Sal was a touchy subject for marla, given the fact he's dead and was 'guilty' for killing andie bell. "I believe that my brother didn't kill..andie. So, I'll help you. But, just give my brother some time, Okay?" She softly responded, "See you tomorrow then. Bye pip."

Pippa was left there, but responded politely, "Bye."

This was gonna take a long time.
