CHAPTER 24

Mark's POV

I started getting ready for school but then something caught my eye. It was on the news, apparently, a house burned down last night and the people inside died.

Police suspect that they burned to death in the fire, but the fire was set by an outside source.

Then I found out that the person whose house was burned down and died, was Bailey from school. I kinda feel bad, she was a bully but I don't think she deserved to die.

*time skip to school*

I walked into my school only to be bombarded by the aforementioned news. The school gossip seemed to have shifted from Jack to Bailey overnight.

More interesting, however, was the theories that began to arise. Some students are contemplating who the culprit is, and since Bailey attended school here, most people think the arsonist is also a student from here.

The most popular theory, however, is that Jack set the house on fire due to him only showing up yesterday and can't bring themselves to believe it was merely a coincidence.

Of course, I know this is false because Jack is afraid of fire and is such a nice guy. He can't possibly be the culprit correct? But it doesn't matter to the student body it would appear.

There is also a rivaling yet less popular theory, that Cry is actually the arsonist. This is because he is considered a weirdo and suspicious to some because he wears a mask.

There have been rumours about Cry for a long time, but this is on a whole new level.

Older rumours regarding him were about what his real face looks like, which is still a mystery that not even I know because he wore his mask since he was a little kid.

I don't believe this is true either. I knew Cry for quite some time, and he isn't the type of person that would do this sort of thing unless he somehow was being forced to do it.

But that seems impossible to me as well.
