Time flies
Preface
It took a long time but here you go, chapter 15. Sorry for the long wait but I didn't had the mood and inspiration. Also I promised myself to work more for school so that explains the time gap. Enjoy!
Chapter 15
General POV
School started again, vacation is over. All the guppies reunited on the playground to talk about the previous events. Tensions, treason, manipulation and much more. How could such a chaos happen in just 1 week? But together they'll find a solution and bring back peace… But what exactly happened?
"What are you telling me Oona? It makes no sense. Gil never did something wrong. I'm can't wish better with him. But why do you ask me something like that out of nowhere? Come on speak!" Molly looked at Oona in a weird way. "So I met a girl named Sandra a little time ago and apparently she had some kind of personal relation with Gil, she didn't tell if it was serious or not but she told me that she got hurt… by Gil". "I don't know her, and I don't know about Gil's affairs but that's the past. That's rough to hear from you, did you ask in what way Gil hurt her?" "uhm, half. She said she became closer and closer and that Gil confessed but shortly after that he began flirting with other girls. That's all she told". "You had to ask for more information, it's about one of your best friends and my boyfriend. You know Gil for years and that Sandra for maximum 2 weeks. You know Gil isn't like that. we're a couple for almost 1 month and I never suspected him of that things. Do you trust her more than your good friend? Tell me". Molly raised her voice a bit. "No don't think that, it's just that when she told everything, tears formed on her cheeks and she sounded sincere. You know, she is afraid that Gil does the same to you". "He will not Oona, have I told you that some days ago, Gil found a little note underneath my glove who was in the center of a circle in the snow? The note said: "You'll regret everything!" I don't know but it's possible that Sandra put it there, she might want revenge on Gil for the things he did". Oona looked offended. "Sandra is not like that, she cried after she told everything". "People can fake a lot of things these days Oona, trust me, I have a bad feeling about this story". We both stayed silent for a moment. "The only thing to do now is go and ask Gil about it, I'm sure he knows more about it". Oona said. "If you really want that… I'm sure he's innocent". Molly said. The 2 friends got up from the bench and began walking in direction of Gil's apartment. Coincidentally, Gil was home alone. The 2 girls knocked on the door. "Who's there?" Gil answered. "It's Molly and Oona". The girls said. "Wait a moment, I need to do 3 things first". "What could he potentially have done?" Oona said smirking. "You really think that?" Soon after, Gil opened the door. "Hey girls, come in. Sorry that it took that long". The 3 sat down in the couches. "What can I do for you 2?" Gil said. "Do you know a certain Sandra?" Molly said. Gil rose from his seat. "Noooooo? Okay yes I knew a Sandra but that was a couple of years back. I'm innocent Molly, you have to trust me!" "Wait what? No Gil, don't panic, I don't suspect you of cheating on me, we just have a really bizarre affaire around that person, and you are part of the story". Gil sat down and listened to the whole story of Oona. "Yes a couple years back in the days I was very close with that Sandra but I can assure you that I never ever confessed to her, I wanted to but I went to a school party that evening and forgot about her, apparently she disliked that". "But she told something else…" Oona said. "Come on Oona! You got brainwashed by her. I'm in the best position to tell the truth. Trust me for ones d*mnit!" "I agree with Gil Oona, but for now we can't really advance. You must gather more information, can I trust you Oona?" Oona nodded. "I promise it, but it's getting late now, I'm going home. Bye everyone". Oona left. "Can I stay Gilly? You might need some detente after that stupid story". "I'm sorry Molly, I've got some things to do". "Are you really gonna wank again? You just did it!" Molly said. "What, no. But how do you...? No you don't get it, my exam grades weren't that great so I need to study from time to time during the vacation". "Okay Gilly, hehe…, I'll see you tomorrow?" "Good idea, bye Molly". We kissed and hugged it out.
Molly POV
Back home, finally. This story begins to look weird. I hope Gil doesn't cheat, probably not. That Sandra better stays away. My phone was shaking, it was Deema. "Hey Molly, you better check this. I'm worried". She texted. She sent a photo with… I was extremely shocked. I sat down on my bed and looked at it again. It was a photo from the park, with Gil and Oona kissing. I can't trust Gil anymore. Why did he do that. Am I not perfect for him? Tears were forming in my eyes. Deema texted again. "I'm sorry to show you this but, I received this photo from an unknown number". I texted back. "But why? And who? I don't understand it". "Me neither. It looks like this unknown user sent it to everyone, I receive messages from all my schoolmates about that". "I don't receive anything at all Deema. Not even the photo". "Nobody wants to ask what you think about it, so they ask it to me". "Can you come at my home quick now? I need a friends presence". Deema agreed. 10 minutes later she knocked at my door. "Hey girl, I'm sorry for all this". We both went to my sleeping room. I began telling her the story with Sandra and Oona and Gil who were involved. "No, I don't think Oona and Gil would do that. They don't match, and why would he break your heart?" "I don't know Deema, what I find strange, is that Oona nor Gil texted me or you". "Let me inspect the photo, I'm not sure about it". Deema looked at the photo on her phone attentively. She looked up excited. "Look Molly. in the bottom left corner." I looked. "It's just grass". "But it doesn't fit, I suspect this to be Photoshop". "You think that? So all hope isn't lost". "I know how we can prove it. I'm sure Nonny will help us. He's brilliant with these things". "But his heart will probably be broken when he sees the photo". "We just tell him the story and ask him to help us prove it is photo shopped". I nodded. Deema texted Nonny who agreed. "Let's go now".
"Oh hello girls, come in". Nonny said. "I'm sure you received 'the photo' too?" Deema said. "Yes, and I've found some interesting things already". We walked to Nonny's room and sat down next to him on his computer. "You were correct Deema, it is Photoshop. It wasn't very hard for me to see, this is amateur work. The author tried to hide the logo of the photo shop program with a picture of grass. I recently installed a program
that allows me to see the date when the photo was taken. You might think it's impossible but with this program, it's too difficult to explain". "But why would we need the date of when the photo was taken". I replied. "Well, you see the park, right? But there's grass and it looks more summer than winter. With my program I can see if the photo was really taken or it's a copy from the internet". "Go for it then". Deema said. Nonny activated his program. 10 seconds after the program announces a big error. "What does that mean Nonny?" I asked. "That means this photo was never taken. It's a copy from the internet so it's pure Photoshop". I was relieved. "But… Oona and Gil on the photo?" Nonny turned back to the monitor. "I can scan the photo and spot all the marks of Photoshop". I looked at Deema while waiting. "It's a real stalker. She searched for every possible photo of Oona and Gil so she could put them together and make it look like they kiss. I'm happy to announce you that this is a fake photo". I shined happiness. I took my friends and we hugged for a moment. "But nobody knows the truth, can you do something about it Nonny?" I asked. He began thinking. "I'll edit the photo to mark every photo shopped spot and send it back to everybody who got the previous one. I'll put a message underneath it with all the information you want me to put in". "Okay that's fine and well but how can you know who got the photo?" Deema responded. "I've got once again a program to spot all the destinations of the similar photo, I'll simply send our copy to the same ones". "You're amazing Nonny! All those programs, you're the smartest guy I know". I responded enthusiastically. "Do you also have a program that calculates the chance that your boyfriend cheats on you?" Deema said playfully. We all laughed. "That already exist Deema, it's called a lie detector". Deema was confused but realizes afterwards and laughed with us. "We might need to buy one, in case of emergency hahaha". We stopped laughing and Nonny said: "What would the reaction of Gil and Oona be if they also received the photo?" "I don't think they got them, they didn't text us. I'm sure Sandra is behind this but Oona will probably not believe us. You know her". I said. "Can't we prove that she is behind this?" Deema asked. "I'm afraid we can't. The sender of the photo used a fake number, or she uses an virtual protection shield that nobody can penetrate, not even myself". "It doesn't matter. She will probably try again and then we will have her. Telling everyone that she is the author is useless now, we haven't got good evidence". "At least the other guppies will believe us". I said.
This is the first time that I don't really know what to put at the bottom. I hope you liked this chapter. I hope to have more time to write more chapters. I'm sorry for the time gap but I explained it earlier: school. My grades are getting better now so maybe I will write more chapters to this story. I've also got a little lack in inspiration so that's also liable. I can't promise anything or a specific date for the next chapter. anyway, goodbye!
