What do the rich need, What do the blind see, What do the dead eat?

Once again, it was Monday... the day that was dreaded by the entire town. I leaped out of my bed doing my usually morning routine. My eyes had dark cirlcles underneath them and were bloodshot from the lack of sleep. I stayed up till 4am watching the Maze Runner series. My eyes felt tired from all the crying, after watching Newts death scene: kills me everytime.
I wrapped my hand around the cold steel door handle before pulling it open with a bit of force, I walked out the door and skipped down the last few steps that led down from the porch to the path.
I began to walk to school, Iguess I just felt like walking today.

The first bell rang, dismissing us from home room. I was walking to first period; AP Biology.
I walked in to see Aliya sitting at our usual bench. I sat beside her; emptying the contents of my backpack.
"Hey" she glanced over; a smile taking over her face.
"Whats up?" I responded
"Nothing.... the weekend was boring as hell. I spent most of it studying or procrastinating." She said emotionless, widening her eyes.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." I laugh causing her to giggle.
The teacher was busy with organising extracurricular activities. So most of the lesson we revised for the exams. Half way through the lesson an annocment blasted through the speakers.
"Good afternoon students. I need Taylor Kensington, Thomas Lahey, Jordan Walker, Nate Barnley, Angie Gibson and Charlie Hecklier to report to the front office immediately! Thank you" the voice spoke
I got up, grabbed my things and walked out of the room with my head down trying to not drawn anymore attention to myself. Once I got to the office we all walked in at the same time making our way to the reception.
A police officer was standing next Mrs Cavanaugh as we all followed her into a room.
"Good morning students, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet." She began to speak "There had been evidence found, that will lead to a further investigation or Bethanys murder. Evidence, that suggests you were all at her scence of death." She said disappointedly
"Oh my god no way! Your telling me that all of our DNA is on Bethanys body?" Charlie questioned sarcastically " I wonder why... oh thats right, WE FOUND HER BODY!!" He said raising his voice in disbelief that we were being accused of murder
I looked down to my hands that were playing with each other; processing what I had just heard.
"You are all going to be further interrgated as the investigation is... deepening" She spoke completely disregarding Charlie before exiting the room.
The officer walked infront of us all, standing with his hands on his belt
"Meet me at the station right after school" he demanded then sped up his pace to catch up with Mrs Cavanaugh.

"Why do you think, everyone that was in the room ended up there at the time the body was found?" The interrogator asked me.
