Eddie's P.O.V
I was at school standing at my locker trying to remember my combination when someone touched my shoulder. I spun around only to find the new guy. "Hey, I'm Lucien. Mr. Sweet said you would show me around the school?"
" Why would I do that?"
"Because it's a get out of a class ticket, and by the looks of things, you can't get your books anyway."
"Good point, tour starts now."
He shook his head, "On second thought, I say we hit the arcade, you know vacation style,"
What? Dude you just got here," I was too late he was already out the door. "Wait. Wait up!"
I had no choice but to run after him. I know once my dad found out I skipped school with the new guy, he would punish me for sure. But, on the other hand, this dude is kind of like me. We should get along just fine.
I caught the door just in time and ran with him.
Fabian's P.O.V
I was in my room looking through any books, newspaper articles, or even photos that reminded me of Lucien.
Two hours of dusty shelves and Jerome crunching on chips later, I found something. A newspaper that read 'Price family sells house to pay for hospital bills,' I flipped the paper on the back and at the bottom left read 'Page1 out of 4.'
When I saw that I knew this wasn't gonna be easy. I knew this was gonna be a mystery...a mystery that was going to take more than one to solve. A mystery for Sibuna.
K.T's P.O.V
I was getting ready for bed when I heard a noise in the bathroom. I walked down the hall and knocked on the door. No, answer.
I tried again, this time I asked if everything was ok. No answer but the noise continued. It almost sounded like bells or a music box.
I had no choice but to investigate. I put my hand on the door knob and was about to open it when it flung open. I jumped back and put my hand on my heart.
"You ok…did I scare you?" Lucien said as he put his hand on my shoulder. I shook it off and asked, "If you were in there, why didn't you answer me? And this is the girls' bathroom. The boys' bathroom is on the twelfth floor before the basement.
"Oh sorry, I didn't know…see you around." He waved and headed down the stairs.
I looked over the banister and he was gone. He ignored my first question, but I didn't have time to think about that. Its 9:58 Victor will be coming at any time and I'm not in bed.
I ran down the hall, carefully opened my door and slid into bed. Why did Dillon walk all the way upstairs to use the bathroom? Why was he acting so weird? Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. I turned off my lamp, pulled the covers up and went to sleep.
Jerome P.O.V
I was in the kitchen making my usual before bed snack; half toasted wheat bread with lettuce, mayonnaise, mustard, cooked ham, cheese and a glass of milk to wash it down.
I was about to make my way out when Joy and Willow walked in the living room. I saw this as an opportunity to well, spy, of course.I ducked down behind the sink and began listing.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Willow asked Joy.
"Of course I am. I missed my chance last year, this time ill do it right."
I wasn't sure what they were talking about. I was gonna get closer but before I could Alfie walked in the kitchen. He saw me hiding behind the sink and said "Jerome? Jerome is that you?"
That's when Willow and Joy walked over with that look on their face. That, 'you spying little rat' look. When I saw that I just took a bite of my sandwich and prepared for the worst.
