Fights
Nelly took a glance at me and nods her head while facing Jeremy. And then, suddenly Jeremy started to laugh.
"Kris, are you saying that I'm dumb? I know that you're trying to solve the case alone, right?" Nelly and I are curious about this. Nelly keeps asking me about what case, why she doesn't know about this.
"I…I beg your pardon? What are you saying, Jeremy? What case?" I'm still confused about this. Not until he started to talk again.
"The Missing Vault! " Then, it hits me. How can I forget about the case, I decided to tell my friends today! "Seriously Kris, you're the second smart in our group but still, you're as dumb as Lance is! "
Then, there is another male voice behind us saying, "Hey! I'm not dumb; I just had a brain that processes my mind slow!" It's Lance, our group's mechanical mechanic. Yeah, he's excellent in putting devices up, but he is kind of slow in sociality.
Lance took the seat beside Jeremy's and Jeremy started to tease him again. These two are best friends just like Nelly and me; childhood's friend. But these two are always teasing each other. Not that Nelly and I didn't tease a lot of time, it's just Nelly doesn't like to be teased during her reading time. (She is ALWAYS reading!)
"Guys, stop it! You're disturbing the other students in here! See!" Nelly whispered it to them and showed them the students that are now staring angrily at them.
Finally, they stopped laughing and started to apologize to the other students. "Sorry guys…err, enjoys your meal!" It's Jeremy the one that apologize to them.
And then, I noticed someone has been staring at us strangely since we arrived here. I ask Nelly to see if she also noticed the people.
It's a man in black coat, black hat, black sunglasses and his others clothing are also black. Nelly then started to find the man and when she found him, she seems so shock! But then she answers me, "I don't know him. Maybe he's just a police officer who came to school to fetch his children."
But her answer didn't convince me because she seems so scared to meet my eyes. I know her. She's good in acting, but that's only on her appearances. I can see her worry in her eyes; it showed so many fear when she saw that man.
"Are you okay, Nell? Do you want to go home now?" She took a glance at the man and then me and said, "I think it's a good idea. I'm tired after all."
"Ok, but let's tell the boys first, alright?" She's only nodded her head and let me talk to Jeremy and Lance. "Hey, guys. Nell and I need to get home now, so I'll see you guys tomorrow?"
"Ok. Is Nelly alright? She looks like she's…nervous." It's sure is. She's keep taking glances at the man-in-black and her face is facing her laps and also she's keep twisting her…fingers?
'Oh, my God! There must be something confusing her, otherwise she won't twist her fingers. She will only twist her finger when she worried about something or she missed her mum. I'll take the first choice because it doesn't make sense for her to miss her mum now. I mean, she stopped her habit ten years ago.'
Before both of us leave the cafeteria, I tell the guys to send my regards towards Natalie. 'Oh, Natalie is also one of my group's members. You will meet her later on…patient, patient.'

"Err…Nelly?" She's still twisting her fingers but now there's a book on her lap. It showed that she's already arrived at 'Chapter Six'. No answer. I ask her again but this time I also tap her shoulder as well. "Nelly?"
Nelly turned her head and faced me. I'm shocked to see her face. She has been crying! I can see her eyes are red and her cheeks are wet with her tears, she keeps blinking her eyes from the tears.
"N-Nelly, why a-are you crying? Is it something to do with the boys? "Still, there is no answer. I'm beginning to worry about her and I didn't realize that my cheeks are wet too. "Nell, y-you know that I can't bear seeing you cry…please, just, just stop it…"
My hands are wiping her cheeks now then she stopped crying. "It's…err, nothing. I just missed my mum, that's all."
"No. You're lying." 'Is it me talking here? Why would I say something like that to her?' She looks very shocked about what I've just said just now. Then, I quickly add, "No, err, Nell…it's not what you think it is…what I really meant is…"
