Chapter 10
It's been two weeks since the anniversary. The girls' lives seemed normal, though they weren't really, but no one knew that. They got a few other threats by the anonymous person telling them to stop looking for him/her. The messages were about them trying too hard to find out who it is and that they should stop cuz it will destroy everyone they care about. The girls drove the guys away from them cuz they wanted them to be safe, they haven't talked to them this entire time. Even after all the threats, they haven't stopped trying to figure out who it is.
After hours of work (looking for something that'll link them to the mysterious person), Stella got an idea.
"Guys, why don't we just ask Miss Ofelia?" she said "We've been so busy with this person and this whole mermaid madness that we forgot to visit her!"
"Yeah you're right." said Musa "I forgot she even existed."
"That's actually a pretty good idea Stell." said Tecna.
"I have my moments." she said.
…
The girls knocked on Miss Ofelia's office door.
"Come in!" they heard her voice from the other side of the door.
They went inside the office to see Miss Ofelia and Lucy.
"Lucy. We didn't know you'd be here." said Bloom.
"Don't stress, I'm just here for a check up." she said "I should be leaving now. Bye!"
"Goodbye dear!" said Miss Ofelia as Lucy exited the infirmary.
She threw a glare towards Tecna on her way out.
"Hello girls!" said Miss Ofelia with a smile.
The girls got to her and hugged her.
"We're really sorry we couldn't come earlier, it's just we had so many things on out hands, school, full moon…" (Tecna)
"I understand girls, I went high school! I've been here too, I know how hard it is to manage, especially with being a mermaid and all." she went towards her chair in her office and sat down "Come, have a seat."
The girls sat down on a few chairs in front of her table.
"We actually came here to ask you for a favor." said Stella "We were hoping you could help us with this." she showed Miss Ofelia the notes and texts.
"Who's sending this?" she asked.
The girls told her the whole story, from the first note and text to the last.
"Do you have suspects?" asked Miss Ofelia.
"Well, we have Dr. Evans' son, Dr. Evans, Daniel or Lucy." said Tecna "But, Dr. Evans is mature enough to just do this in person, so I don't believe she's that person , Daniel has literally vanished from the face of the Earth, we've looked for him and he even deleted everything about him that was online. Lucy wasn't at the party, but then again, she could've planned that from before, we did hear some noises once, and we know nothing about Mike."
"Well, maybe you should send someone to talk to him, since he already knows you." said Miss Ofelia.
"Well, there is one person we didn't see on the pictures and we can trust." said Musa "But, I don't think we should get you in this Miss. Ofelia."
"I'm already in. What do you want me to do?" she asked.
"Maybe you can go talk to him? You know, Mike Evans?" said Flora.
"Of course. Just give me his address." said Miss. Ofelia.
"Great!" said Tecna.
"Girls, I know I shouldn't get my nose up in other people's business, but why don't you just tell the police?" she asked.
"Well….there is this one text." Layla showed her the text on her phone.
If you tell anyone about this, there will be consequences.
"I see, you're scared from this person?" she said.
The girls hesitantly nodded.
"That's exactly what they want. You're supposed to stay brave!" said Miss Ofelia.
She checked the time "It's getting late, you should hurry up so you can get to your dorm before curfew."
"Thank you Miss. Ofelia." said Flora.
"Quick question." she said the girls stopped "Have you told the boys about this?"
The girls were quiet.
"I understand, and don't worry, I won't tell them." said Miss Ofelia.
….
When the girls got back to their dorm it was 5 minutes after curfew, luckily they had spare keys.
There was a knock on their door.
The girls froze.
They all quickly snuck in their rooms pretending to be asleep, but the knocking only increased.
It was definitely Grizelda because of her yelling at them to wake up and open the door.
They made rock-paper-scissors and Stella was supposed to open the door.
She opened the door slowly, as if she's afraid Miss. Grizelda's gonna attack her.
"Yes?" she said.
"About time you girls opened the door!" she said "Now, I'm sorry for the late interruption, but we have new student."
"Oh, well I'm glad, but I'm pretty sure we're not interested, thank you!" Stella was about to close the door when Miss. Grizelda stopped it "The new girl went into a dorm because this girl over here let her take her place. She told me you are friends and that you won't mind her staying here for a while, until we find her a room."
Stella looked at the girl. She's seen her around at school.
"Well, why don't I ask the others…" (Stella)
"Well Miss Hunnigan, she'll be spending the night here whether you like it or not." said Grizelda, leaving.
"Come in." said Stella, opening the door a bit more so the girl can enter.
Had a light blond braided hair and light blue eyes (she looks like princess Galatea).
The girls all came from behind the couch.
"Is she gone?" asked Layla.
"Uh, guys, meet…" (Stella)
"Alison. You can call me Ali." she said shyly.
"Uh, hey?" said Musa.
"She'll be staying with us for a while, until Grizelda finds her a room." said Stella.
"OK." said Layla "I don't suppose you're a new student?"
"No." she shook her head "The new student's in my room. I had a bet with a few friends and now I have to switch room with the new girl, the only problem's that there isn't an available room."
"No offense, but couldn't you just have went to a friend's room?" asked Stella.
"Oh right, sorry about that. Miss. G. asked me if I knew anyone, and I didn't, so I said I'm friends with you guys cuz I've seen you around and you seemed very nice. I'm really sorry, I don't want to bother, I'm just gonna go tell Miss. G. this is all just a mistake and try to convince the girls to let me back in." she went towards the door.
"You can stay." said Flora "We won't mind, right girls?"
The girls nodded.
"Stella, can we have a word?" asked Tecna.
The girls without Ali went to Tecna's room.
"What the hell?!" asked Tecna "With what mind are you letting her stay in our room?"
"It's not my fault, Miss. G. insisted!" said Stella.
"OK, well what about you, no one made you invite her in!" Bloom told Flora.
"She needs a place to stay!" said Flora.
"Oh my god!" Musa rushed out of the room and into the common room.
She quickly gathered the files for the anonymous they had on their table.
"I'm sorry about the mess!" she told Ali.
"Oh, it's ok, I don't judge!" she said.
Musa quickly went back to Tecna's room where the girls were still waiting for her with the files.
"We shouldn't leave these lying around, especially not with her around!" said Musa.
"Yeah, she's right, we don't know anything about her! As far as we know, she could be the anonymous one!" said Bloom.
The girls went quiet and suddenly started laughing.
"That was a good one!" said Layla.
"Yeah, I have no idea where that came from!" said Bloom.
"OK, OK, we'll let her stay, but we need to be careful." said Tecna.
"Well, let's get back in the common room, I'll take the files." said Musa.
They got back to the common room and found Alison sitting on their couch, waiting for them to come.
"Well, you'll be sleeping on the couch." said Stella "And let me warn you, this is no luxurious mansion!"
She laughed "Don't worry, it's OK! I take what I can get."
"And just so you know, room duty's on you tomorrow." said Layla.
"No problem. I can clean up the room in a matter of minutes, not that it needs cleaning. You girls are very tidy compared to my roommates!" said Ali.
"Thanks I guess." said Bloom.
"Don't get me wrong! It was supposed to be a compliment!" she said "I am so sorry if I offended you!"
"No, it's OK!" said Tecna.
"Well, welcome to the club I guess." said Stella.
