A/N: Trina and Sinjin's testimonies on the case
Trina appears and I say "Your name and occupation"
"I'm Trina Vega, and I'm a student in Hollywood Arts"
"Trina, you said to me earlier that you saw Tori going out of the principal's office, am I right?"
"Yes, let me tell you the whole story":
Witness Testimony "My Point of View"
"I was going to my classroom when I heard someone screaming, I clearly knew it was Tori, so I went to the principal's office, where the scream came from and found Tori beside Mr. Eikner's body."
"Tori mentioned she saw papers on the floor and the room was a mess, can you confirm this?
"It was, Jade. Papers on the floor, some tables broken and such, a complete mess.
"Did Tori try to run?"
"She did, but was detained by Helen"
"You saw anything else?"
"Yes, I saw a piece of paper with a message 'You paid for what you've done'" "Is this really necessary? There is no evidence pointing that your client is innocent, Jade" my dad said. "Come on, let me continue." Trina said, annoyed.
"You have more to tell us, Ms. Vega?"
"I do, your honor, and this is very decisive"
"Very well, Ms. Vega"
Witness Testimony "Decisive"
"Before Tori went into the office, I clearly saw Sinjin Van Cleef going out of it."
"Sinjin Van Cleef? What was he doing there?
"I dunno, try summoning him"
"That's enough, Trina. Thanks" " The court summons Mr. Van Cleef to the stand"
"Witness, your name, please" I said to Sinjin.
"Sinjin Van Cleef, student in Hollywood Arts"
"What exactly happened that day, Mr. Van Cleef?"
"I was going to drink some water when I saw Tori running away from the principal's office, I didn't knew why she was, but clearly there was something really fishy about her attitude" Sinjin said.
I clearly knew Sinjin was lying, so I blurted:
"I know you're lying, Sinjin. Trina saw you fleeing the office just before Tori went in!"
"I'm not lying, Jade."
"You clearly are, Sinjin. As far as I know, nobody holds as many grudges against Mr. Eikner as you do, I know you KILLED HIM!"
"You have any proof about it, Jade?" my dad yelled at me. "You can't accuse someone without proof, so, where is it?", he said.
"You have been sent to detention many times by him, haven't you?" I said.
"Yeah, what of it?"
"You have many grudges against him, and also, I was looking in the crime scene and, found your glasses there"
"But I'm not the only one who uses glasses here", Sinjin says trying to get my opinion away from him.
"Jade, did you know that the defendant ALSO uses glasses?" my dad said, which struck me like a clap of thunder.
"Ugh, forgot about that. I've seen Tori using glasses one time."
"Those glasses can belong to the defendant, if you don't know, Jade" he said again. Dammit, I can't believe he turned the tables on me like that, I was so close to pinning Sinjin. Well, time to try another tactic.
"Now things are clearing up, I know that Tori doesn't use glasses while on school, so those one might be Sinjin's"
"How can you be so sure, Jade?"
"Am I the only one lost here?" The Judge blurted out. I found it amusing and said:
"Sorry, Your Honor, I'm almost certain that those glasses belong to the witness." Turning to Sinjin, I said "Sinjin, please testify to the court about the glasses"
Witness Testimony "The Lost Glasses"
"I was wandering around and saw that Tori chick on the crime scene, I saw that she accidentally dropped her glasses in that room"
"Wait a minute", I said; "As I can recall, Tori wasn't using glasses when she left the classroom to go to the office, and she told me she always leaves her glasses at home"
"Maybe she was lying, Jade"
"She wasn't, I have a witness who can tell us about Tori's behavior before she gone to school", I said; "Defense calls Mr. David Vega to the stand".
