Same Stars Of Yesterday (book 2)

"UPPER"

CXVII.
~:•:~

Dawn's POV:

"Old photos~ Oh~ Is this that man?? He is so different compared to what he looked like now from then~" May complemented on the old photo of Sir JJ that was taken from his high school year.

We are currently looking at the photos that were in the black case the student council president gave us yesterday and there were school newspapers as well.

"Check this out!! The soccer team that Sir JJ was part of!! Woah~ He looks so cool~" Ash exclaimed with his awed expression and he showed us the photo. "I remember that Mrs. Dell told us that he used to be the captain of the soccer team and, look~! He wore that whistle, is that it?? That is the same lanyard I am keeping right now~ I wonder why it was given to us to keep~? I should ask that to Sir JJ... And woah~! This was taken on a play... He played Romeo??!"

"Romeo??? As in the play of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare?? I didn't expected that~ So who played Juliet??" May intervened and we were already looking closer at the photo and Drew was busy on reading a certain material.

"We should talk about this to Sir JJ for sure! I wonder if this can lead us a hint about what is that telltale all about~ Besides, we are only trying to find more informations about Sir JJ but is he somehow related to that telltale?? It has something to do with the school, right?? But he said that it happened with something about their class~ What if we ask someone who might know something?? Sir JJ won't tell us but if only we can find someone who got an idea about that telltale~ I am getting more interested with this quest now... We need to find those music sheets soon!!" Ash uttered and he was being excited.

"Don't be so noisy, Ash... Someone might hear you from the outside... And we can't ask anyone or else this secret quest will be known by the school admins and we are done for~ I don't understand why there are certain pages on the school newsapers from those times where a page or part of the paper has been cut... It is like something among these that were published were intended to be unknown. Look, there's a picture of students here but someone's face was erased... And here, a page was ripped. Then, this one got a cut out too... So suspiscious to think of~" Drew knowingly spoke up and we recognized the idea he was talking about when he showed us the pages of the newspaper.

"Hm~ Then it has something to do with the secret... What else, right?? So mysterious... Did something creepy happened back then or something like an incident of murder or such???" May said that I got bothered by what she said since she was sounding so carried away and she smirked.

"That is thinking too much~ Violence can't be the secret telltale... How can that ruin the reputation of the school??" Ash replied and he fidgeted his fingers under his chin.

"It can but it is still too vague to make a hypothesis of possible answers of what really happened..." Drew replied and he was also seemingly hooked up.

"But can we focus for now on our new task?? I am sure we will get to know what happened about that telltale afterall..." I simply intervened and they agreed after thinking about it so Drew kept the black case back in his bag and we did another session of ukelele learnings.

"Dawn, want to play 'Behind My Smile'?" Ash asked me when we were having a break and May just went out to buy marshmallow as she said she'll do.

Ash began to teach me the chords on the ukelele and I find it a bit easier than when he was teaching me on the guitar. Drew already was sitting back on the stool by the piano and he was looking at the music sheets. The five music sheets we have already collected so far~
