Tuesday, September 16th.
This should be just another ordinary Tuesday. Unfortunately it's turned upside down. This morning the five of us got called into principal's office. All of us except Chloe. It's a good thing she's out of it. Her popularity would be in danger if she got dragged into this stuff.
I looked at my sister, she's looked terrified and shocked. I told her not to came to the school but she didn't hear me. She said, "I have to be there for my best friends." Then I didn't said anything. I can't argue with her on this condition. And then I saw Peter's hand hold her hand and told her that it'll be okay. I just sighed and looked at Emily. She smiled.
"Are you scared?" She whispered softly. Just like she always do.
I nodded, "I'm scared for my sister." I whispered back. "It's okay." She put her hand on my hair.
The door behind us opened. Someone from the police department came in. I assumed he's a detective. He took a sit in front of us. We begin our interview.
At lunch break, I could felt the awkward silence around us. I looked at Chloe who sat next to me. She shaking her head like she knew what I'm going to say. I'm going back to my food. Suddenly Ashley punched the table, it gave us a big surprised. We all looked at her worried.
"Ash?" Emily started talking.
Ashley sighed, "I hated the fact that we just stayed and do nothing, mean while we all knew that Sarah was killed!" I could tell that she was so full of anger right now. None of us answered.
But then, "I agreed. Sarah, she never do shitty things to other. Even though she did, she always apologize right away. If someone hated her that much, we'll gonna do everything right for her." Andrew speak. The other started talking their agreement except for me and Peter. Which is weird because he always been taking Ashley's sides.
I looked at my sister. She's still full of anger. Then she looked at Peter.
"Is there anything you wanna add, Pete?" She said. Peter shaking his head. "No." Everyone looked at him confused. Because he seems mad and uncomfortable. "Why don't we just stay away from this and let the cops do their job. That is the right thing to do."
Ashley seems pretty upset. "No. We are her best friend! We are the ones who should've fix it!"
"It has nothing to do with us! It's her fault to make someone hate her! There's nothing we could do!"
"What the hell, man? Why are you being a coward?" Andrew speak what's on Ashley's mind. Peter seems really upsets hearing Andrew said that to him. "Yes I am! And I hated talking about what's already happened! I hated how everyone thinks that they're the ones who should've done something!"
"Asshole!" Ashley running away.
I felt that I should follow her. But I'm not so sure. I looked at Chloe. "Just go." Chloe nodded. I ran after her. I saw her going to the field.
