"Cora was my favorite teacher, but she felt like more of a mother to me. When I would be feeling alone or in pain, when I have had a hard day at home, she can sorry could tell and make me feel better. She saved my life when I tried to kill myself she cared and saved me I want to help I-" I am hurting relating to what she is saying when Jane interrupts her.
"You like her. You had a crush on her?"
"Yes, I loved her I know that nothing can happen, but I loved her." I suddenly look at Trish differently I am not judging her for liking her teacher but as she said it, I saw something in her eyes like a tint of evil. I look at Jane.
"Were where you on Tuesday night?" I remark I know then she did it. As we talk with her more, I can tell more and more that she did it I know Jane knows too. After talking for a while with the other kid. I get Van Pelt to check out her alibi and I talk to her parent. I talked with Jane and we set a plan up on catching her. Van pelt tells me that her alibi as a lie. I tell Cho to bring her in. She comes in. I sit her down I the first room. I sit down with her and then I go and puck again in the bathroom come back Jane is walking down the hall away from where she was being held, I worry what he has said but I just keep walking I don't have time for this I walk to her room and ask "What happened that night? Tell me." She looks at me and I can see she looks as if she knows here whole world is going to fall apart.
"What happened? What happened is that I killed her I killed her" My mouth drops open she just told me. What just happened. I need her to lay it out for me.
"Tell me what happened."
"No." Why? Why did everything have to be harder than it needs to be. I push her for hours but get nothing she says nothing. Her parents never came or anything. It was getting late I need to get home I know I need to sleep. I need to keep my body heathy, I guess. I start to walk home. When I get a call. Jane
"What?"
"She didn't do it."
"Who?" I know who I just do not want him to say it.
"Trish. She didn't do it." Fuck
"She confessed. I don't want to do this right now" I say I don't want to do this it is 12 pm.
"and a girl is confessing to something she didn't do."
"ok what's the plan."
"Hi I am your substitute teacher I have been told about what happened, I was thinking we watch a movie anyone have any idea?" Van Pelt says to the class we let Trish go. I am weary of the plan I do not like messing with these kids heads. Kids I am going to have a kid. "Anyone has any ideas you can put it in the chat." Van Pelt repeats. That is my signal I type in the chat putting a movie that Jane told me to put in the chat. I hate this. The movie turns on and then as we watch Jane sits next to me as we. I realized what the movie was about. I hated this. As me and Jane are watching I cue Cho to pull Trish out the room. I still think it is her. The movie goes on and we get to a part where a murder is happening. Why would Jane pic this movie? The murder was happening by stabbing the same way Cora died. I look at Jane about to say something when Joe pipes up.
"That is how are teacher died she got stabbed, 3 times in the chest on the right, 3 on the left and 3 in her neck." I am shell shocked. We had not released that information. Only we and the killer knew that. I leave the class and call up the school and work out how we can get Joe out here.
When we get him out here, I sit down with him. "Do you want to tell me how you knew exactly how many times and where Cora was stabbed?" I ask knowing it is a long shot.
"I read about it in the report." He remarks.
"We did not release that info."
"oh uh uh" he is starting to panic. "someone must have told me."
"Were where you on the night of the murder?"
"I was out with friends."
"Lier." Jane has decided to but in. "You were killing your teacher."
"Fine. Do you know how it feels to be in Trish's shadow? Cora always liked her more. I wanted that love. I deserved it. I wanted Trish to pay. So, I knew if Cora died you would look at her and me. What I needed was Trish to look worse than me. I knew she liked her we all did. So, on Tuesday night I went to Cora's apartment and knocked on the door she was shocked to see me and then I stabbed her." I was shocked but needed to keep my cool.
"Why not kill Trish?" I say trying to understand.
"I wanted Trish to live her life in prison in pain. I knew it would be worse than killing her." I call Cho and get him to lock Joe up. What I still do not understand is why Trish confessed. "How did you know it was me? Joe asked. I look to Jane.
"Trish went to Cora's side and wanted to know why we were here right away. You knew so why ask." I get Van Pelt to call Trish in she has been here ever since Cora died, I could tell she was shaken up.
"Trish why did you tell me you killed Cora?" I needed to know.
"Because if I did, I thought then you would investigate me and my life. You would talk to my dad you would see how he was hurting me and my sister. I would go to jail, but she would be saved. I would be worth it." I feel like crying.
"Why did you not tell people it was happening?"
"I did I told Cora she was going to call it in tomorrow help me." I don't know what to say.
"Tell me about your home life."
I am on my way to the ob's it has been a long day I cannot get Trish out of my mind. I understood. I relax she and her sister and now with her aunt. I pull up to the doctors.
"You're having twins." My doctor remarks after doing an ultrasound.
"No" I cannot deal with this.
