"What did you say?" I asked in disbelief.

"I said that I know who put that shit in Chloe's locker," he said.

"Who?"

"Tessie."

"What?" I asked, almost yelling.

"Tessie Ronan?" I asked again.

"I'm sorry okay for not telling you this. I just knew it. Natasha told me that Tessie is trying to do something with Chloe and we didn't know what she is trying to do so when we heard that you punched Carl because of cheating on Chloe, it comes up in my mind," he said.

"That bitch," I sneered.

"There's other," he said.

"What?"

"Don't open up your locker, trust me, I don't know what she wanted to do with your locker but just don't open it," he said.

"Thanks for telling me Ryan," I said before bolted out from the library. I ran to meet Tessie but it was too late. She already headed home, according to Bob that she said she is sick. I ran to Mr. Sherwood's room and told him everything what I heard from Ryan, and also I told him about my locker.

"What's wrong?" Chloe asked me. There were Coach Peterson, Mrs. Carlos and Mr. Sherwood surrounding my locker.

"Tessie did something with my locker," I said.

"What?" Dana asked in surprised.

"What's your combination, Miss Jean?" Coach Peterson asked.

"3553," I said.

Coach Peterson tried the combination and it clicked. A lot of students were there too, looking what is happening in my locker. Coach Peterson moved to the side and slowly opened the locker. Out of sudden, a red paint splashed out from the locker and I gasped.

"What the hell," Nate cursed. I walked towards to my locker and there's a piece of note pasted on my mirror in the locker.

This is just a beginning. Hope you love red.

I passed the note to Mr. Sherwood and he read it.

"Are you sure it was Tessie?" he asked me.

"I can call witnesses if you want," I said.

"Who are they?"

"McClarens and Holland," I said.

"Alright, okay everyone can go back to your class," he said, dismissed the crowd. After they heard explanations from Natasha and Ryan, Mr. Sherwood decided to expell Tessie from the school, for everyone's safety. But I don't think she will quit now.
