Always With You

Part 5:"Connections"

Drake's POV

Days passed by...

Bryan's death was still a mystery.

We were questioned one by one about him.

It was the first incident.

Their funeral was held in a nearby cemetery.

Most of the students attended including me.

I didnt really had any grudge on him.

I was hoping we could be friends.

Police are still curious about what happened.

It was like the incident last year.

I was researching about Mea Scarlet.

Looks like she was buried along with our old classmates.

She had an older sister.

Class went on...

We got a new teacher since our old one was resigning.

"All right class,Im gonna be your new english teacher.My name is Mister Peter Jepps so can you please introduce yourselves one by one."

Everybody stood up and introduce themselves.

Now it's my turn.

"Im Drake Smith."

As i was about to sit...

"Wait,wait,wait,wait.Drake Smith you say?" He asked.

"Yes sir."

"Ok,Come see me later this afternoon.I have something important to discuss.All right,next one."

I wondered why he would want to talk to me.

Me and the guys are hanging out as usual.

Kate was clinging again while Trish would get angry to her.

The rest of us would just laugh.

Rachel would draw on her sketch pad.

Rhea would listen to music.

So far,so good.

Afternoon....

I went to the staff's office to meet up with Mr.Jepps.

All the teachers already went out.

"Ahh,Mr.Smith.Come,Have a seat."

"Thank you,Sir."

"So can you still recognize me?."

"No,sir.We just met,sir." I replied.

"Really,I used to be your teacher back in Lutia City."

"Could it be that you knew what happened last year?" I asked.

"Sadly,I dont know what happened that night.That's the reason why i ask you to come here.If you can remember."

"I'm sorry but I cant remember the incident last year." I replied sadly.

"Hmm,So your memory wasnt back yet."

"Yes,sir.I even researched about the incident last year in hopes of recovering my memory but i came up with nothing."

"Really? then do you know anything about the murder case before the incident?."

"Its my first hearing about it,sir.Why?."

"Do you know the name of Lorelei Jepps?." He asked.

"No,Sir."

He approaches me and holds my uniform tightly.

"That was my daughter,you bastard."

"Sir,please calm down.I really dont remember anything back then."

"Really? My daughter dissappared for a week ever since she talked to you last year.She was found buried behind the school campus."

"Im really sorry,sir.if i only remember."

"I will make you remember."

He holds my shoulder and punches me in the stomach.

"Ughh!!."

"Remember?."

"No."

He keeps punching me over and over.

Luckily Rhea arrived...

"Hey,Drake."

"Answer me!!!."

"Mister Jepps!!! Get off him!!!." Rhea shouted.

He didnt listen.

Rhea gets a Big book and smacks him in the back.

He falls unconcious.Rhea lends me her hand.

"Are you alright?."

"Yeah.Thanks."

As she pulls me,I slipped my feet while she pulled too strong.

We accidentally kissed.I was on top of her.

I quickly got up.

"Im sorry!!! Im really really sorry.I slipped my foot when you pulled me."

She got up and smiled.

"Nah.I pulled too strong."

I was a bit shocked that she didnt have a violent reaction.

We walked to the gate and bid each other farewell.

"See ya later Drake."

"See ya and thanks for earlier."

"Dont worry, I already texted Kate about what happened.Im sure She already reported it to the principal."

I really wondered why would Sir Jepps beated me up.

Did I really killed her daughter,but Why? And how?

Come to think of it.Her daughter's name sounds familiar.

I should research that later.

Rhea's POV

I actually liked what happened earlier.I should just cherish that moment.Oh Drake. Ever since i met you,I went back to being a girl again.

Narrator:

Kate reported what happened to the principal.The principal took action and just transferred Mister Jepps into another school due to his offense.As he packs his things up,He doesnt know that it will be his last day as a human and his first day to be a corpse.

He was finished packing up and ready to go.It was already midnight.

While carrying his stuff in the hallway.

The lights are malfuntioning.

He paused a bit and looked at the lights.

When He looked at the front he saw a blurry figure of a girl who used to be his student.

"Could it be-."

As the lights went on and off.

The Girl got closer and closer.

After a thorough observation,He was shocked.

"It cant be,You are dead."

As the lights went off,A quick swing of a baseball bat sent his head flying to the window;Breaking the glass.

The hallway was dyied in crimson red with the headless teacher lying on the floor.Blood splattered on the walls.

The girl was laughing while saying:

"I was the one who killed her."

End of Part 5.

With the death of the new teacher and Drake's former teacher.

It drawn the entire police interest in the high school.

Police set up Cameras the next day.
