-David Williams' Point Of View-

Today is Sunday, I woke up in the usual morning. I stretched myself and I yawned as loud as I usually was in my early teenage years. .But I still couldn't shake the feeling about what happened yesterday that evening. An explosion of the Hillsborough County High School still thrashes through my mind and I feel devastated and grim about Zayn and Silica. They're gone forever... With them gone, I have no idea how long or when school session will start again. I feel deeply ashamed but I am still angry about what they have done. So far right now, the possible suspects of the bombing could be Riley Gibbson and Dylan Jones, who was expelled from school on June 20th of last year due to their recent behavioral warnings in the past, and most notably an incident involving Sakura Shinomiya being brutally beaten up to a pulp and I was the one to stop this from escalating even further.

I got up from a bed and I opened my logbook containing Dylan's actions since last January 1st of 2021. So far, the only thing he has done when I last time see him was writing something on his desk and under it, has a crate labeled "Dangerous Goods", which led me wondering if Dylan's crate did contain explosives, like plastic explosives such as PETN or potassium chloride. Maybe he bought these kinds of stuff and if so, then I can't believe it. What kind of a guy who got expelled bought these stuff like this and used it to blow something up, a school like this one? I guess that being expelled, is what made him angrier. I guess that will never work like this. Maybe his threats are true after all, that's what I thought, but I cannot confirm, though.

7:30 AM

I got up, brushed my teeth and I walked downstairs as I looked out from the window. Everything looks peaceful and as I opened the door, I can hear the birds chirping as usual in the Sunday morning and my parents are making breakfast as usual. Bacon & eggs, my usual ones. But the one I will pick was meat & veggie patties. I go for hot milk chocolate mocha so I can keep myself up in the morning. My parents began talking about who is responsible for the bombing and my brother almost immediately suspected that it could be a work of a terrorist group, with the intent to send fear and send a new terror strategy against the America and the West. My sister supported his claims, but I personally didn't. The one thing in my mind that it could be Dylan or Riley, who returned less than a year after being expelled, only to make it even worse for our school community. How dare they?

"I wanted to confront them and teach them a lesson. I'll never forgive them" I thought angrily as I clenched my fist in front of my logbook and a single tear dropped from my left eye.

My parents looked at me and they asked me about what's the matter. I immediately calmed down and sighed.

"I'm fine... Just thinking about someone" I said softly.

"What someone?" asked my sister Paula.

"I wonder if Dylan or Riley has something to do with this?" I wondered, somewhat calmly but feeling grim.

My parents were surprised about my accusations and they looked rather confused. My sister was shocked about what I said.

"Those two high school students?  Blowing up the school?!  How dare they!?" growled Paula.

My accusation about Riley and Dylan also shocked my parents for a little.

"Why!? How could those two people from school do such a thing?!" cried my mother named Emily

"I don't know, but I am gathering the pieces of the puzzle together to see if they are involved in their criminal act" I said. "I only gathered their records on my log book, so I can find out if there are any links or ties to them" I said, feeling determined to catch the suspects.
