Chapter 51

I stood, near a table, Barron, Rajwan and Allison sitting next to each other. Barron was staring at the printed selfies at the table in confusion.

Pamela, Hayden, Johnny, Annie and Matt were standing next to me, eyeing the selfies as well.
Navia, Isaak and Skye were sitting across from Barron and the others, still quite confused.

"we should tell them, yeah ?"
I whispered to Hayden, and he nodded.
"You sure ?"
I nodded in response.

Isaak took a look at the selfie, and looked up to us.
"I still don't get it. Who is this guy ?"
Gosh, it will be harder than expected.

"you tell them, Hayden. It will be too hard for me."
I whispered in Hayden's ear, and he nodded.
Then he started to tell them the story about Mars, and Notre Dame de Sion, and everything in between.

"wow."
That was all Skye could say after she heard the story.

Matt let out a playful-angry sigh, and started to speak.
"I still don't get it. It was Adelle who suggested the whole video camera thing, and it was Pamela who sent Mars to the school. Why do I need to be involved into this ?"

"because it's your cousin who's trying to kill us, Matt. That's why."
Annie said sassily, and Matt turned silent.
My expression turned thoughtful.
"What Are you thinking about, Goddess ?"

Barron asked softly.
"I..I don't know."
Allison spoke next, and to be honest, I was grateful for that.
I really didn't know what I was thinking of. Plenty of thoughts raced through my mind, and it was hard to speak through all of them.

"I don't get it though. Hasn't Mars been missing for over a month now ? Why is he around us in that moment ?"
Rajwan answered.
"Maybe he's trying to warn us about something..what is, though ?"

It hit me.
"No..not like, warning. But.."
"but what ?"
"No. 1 : he's upset or mad. No. 2 : he's in every selfie we took on this day, even though he's been missing for over a month now. Dead, for over a month now. That means only one thing.."

Matt groaned.
"ohh, just say it already."
"his body is still in the school."

I blurted out, and Hayden looked up to me in surprise.
"what ?"
"when we went to search the school to find him, we didn't find anything. That means we didn't search in the right place. That he's still in the school, and he wants his soul to be freed. If someone died and was not buried they're stuck between worlds until they find peace. It's his right after all."

Annie eyed me in confusion.
"what do you mean ?"
"we need to go back to Notre Dame and fix this."

Allison groaned.
"I thought this whole thing was over."
"hold on a minute. What do you mean by 'we' ? This is all your mess."
Matt stretched the word your, as if pointing it out

"No, it's not..!"
"you really need to stop blaming her !"
They started to protest, but I held up a hand to silence them.
"It's okay, guys. If anyone who should be going it would be me. I mean, I have an interview with Basma Wahba, and I need to go get Mars, and go talk to mum face to face about having Saeed, Judy and Hanin here. It's like, hitting three birds with one stone."

I explained, and as soon as I finished, Barron stood up, looking at me in defense.
"No way. It's too dangerous. I won't let you."

I smirked in victory.
