Jade's point of view
"So what do you guys know about Shakespeare? Anyone? Yes Miss Pryce."Stan said sitting at the edge of his table.
Amanda stood up and started listing facts about Shakespeare, counting them off on her finger.I didn't really pay attention because, oh I don't know,I was having a hard time pondering over the possibility of Stan being a killer!
He had the height,strength,his face was deceptively handsome but I knew if given the opportunity it could twist into a horrific look.The look of a demented killer with crazed eyes wouldn't take more than a little provocation to emerge.
Eyes crazed for blood...
"Miss Meadows?"Stan said and I jerked out of my thoughts and looked up.
Stan cleared his throat and said,"I was wondering whether you'd like to add anything to Miss Pryce's answer?"
"N-no.She-I'm good."I croaked.
Wow Jade that was really an answer of the century.
"Stan? I have a few things I'd like to add."Michelle said in a syrupy voice.
Stan turned his eyes on her after frowning slightly at me and I relaxed a bit.For a moment there I thought I had been staring at him.
"Psst! Jade."Lanie said passing me a note.
I took it as soon as Stan turned around.
"Somebody's crushing on the new teacher ;)" I read and flushed.
Yikes! If I was that transparent ( no I wasn't crushing,ew, I meant if I could be caught staring this easily) then I'd have to be careful from now on.
I gave an involuntary shiver at the thought of crushing on a murderer.Yeah right,not going to happen.
I shook my head at her frowning.It just occured to me that if all these girls were crushing on Stan then he would have no difficulty in luring them away from safety zone.I will have to come up with a way to put them off of him until I can find out for real whether Stan is guilty or not.
The bell rang announcing the end of the period and I sighed with relief.It was pure torture knowing you were cooped up in a room with a suspected murderer.Ok there were others but since they had no idea about it they probably didn't have wild run away imaginations about Stan hunting them down and killing them in 10 different ways.
Needless to say I had not paid any attention in class at all.
I shoved my things in my bag and pushed past others out of class.I didn't want to be last to leave the class.
I walked over to my locker,stuffed the books I didn't need back in and headed to the library.
I caught Kate passing by on her way to class and she mouthed ,"check email" to me.I nodded,Jace could have mailed some more info.
I went to the computer which was at the corner of the room but faced the librarian's desk.Nobody used that computer that much because the librarian kept popping up to place books on the shelf behind it.I put my bag down,logged in and opened my inbox.I had a few other emails from friends and one from Jace titled confidential.
I opened it and looked around.There weren't many students in the library and the librarian was busy checking in books.
I started to read.
