Hello, everyone. Marry Christmas ^_^ wish you everything best in the world 3
I decided to update the next chapter sooner :3 glad I did :D
Now about the last review. I can't say there's some connection with RJ and Mr Jones, maybe there is and not. If I say something it'll ruin everything. I've to remind you this story is about the teenegar girl from her point (except some chapters). This is focused about her life after her parents' death and of course the crime but I can't just jump from here to the point where Jane and Lisbon are in RJ Case. I'm making sure Alice will read the notes about RJ but it won't happen so soon, maybe in the next chapter or so, just be patient and wait.
I know the story seems to be not so clear but if I write everything clear then It'll be an one-shot. Reviews are also welcome, not send me flames plz XD.
P.S. just so you know, everyone I mention is the important character.
I knock on the door and wait for the teacher to open it. I know from Lucy most of the teachers and classmates are new so I've to introduce myself once again. I'm not really enjoying it but I've no choice. After all some of my so-called friends are still in the class.
I hear someone grabs the handle and opens the door. The tall slim woman about 40s with black eyes, brown short hair and the from on her face examins me from the hair to toe and frowns more (if posssible XD)
"What do you want?" she asks rudely. I raise the brow in surprise
"I'm the new student in this class, ma'am" the woman raises the brows too
"But I've not been informed about the new student"
'I don't give a crap about it' I think.
I've the huge urge to just walk away but I can't so I explain as politely as I can
"I just finished talking with Mr Jones" I hand her the paper and smirk "may I?" I ask slightly. The woman reads the note, then nods and stands away so I can walk in.
Once my old classmates see me, I hear them gasp. Some of them exclaims, some goggles eyes. Most of them are shocked to see me but I still smile at them
"I'm your maths teacher Mrs Clinton"
"Ali?" I shiver when hear the familiar voice. I look up at the owner. The little and very slim girl with the blond hair in high ponytail and green eyes looks at me strangely. I sigh
"Long time no see you, Kate. What's up, shocked to see me?" Mrs Clinton blinks in surprise and looks between us
"You know them?" I look inside her eyes and flash her the sly smile
"Mrs Clinton, it's nice to meet you. My name's Alice Lorens and yes, most of the class know me because I'm their old classmate"
Mrs Clinton nods and points towards the empty desk
"Sit there, Ms Lorens, so we can continue the lesson. I'm sure you have your books"
Yes, ma'am" I shrug, head towards the desk and try my best to ignore the looks I receive from the entire class. I eye Kate and motion that we'll talk after the lesson is end. Kate nods and turns to the Mrs Clinton.
I sigh deeply. I've to explain to Kate where I was and what was I doing the whole time I desappeared. That's extremely hard because both of us know if it wasn't Kate who decided to celebrate my birthday, my parents wouldn't be 6 feet under the ground.
I examine my friend carefully. I notice how Kate's shaking and is trying er best to hold the tears in her eyes, She's blaming herself een after the years. I understand everything pretty well but I'm not blaming her. No, I know Red John would find the way to make me be away from the house for his work. So I'm ready to calm her down and mke sure the incident won't shatter my friend's life if it didn't already. And if it did, then I'll do everything to make her realize, nothing was her fault
The bell practically saved the class from the test Mrs Clinton was going to bring. The teacher sighed deeply and pointed me 'come here'. I stood up and walked near her table. Mrs Clinton was writing in the journal, then she looked up at me
"Ms Lorens, I've to worn you that you with your arrival, harmed my lesson. I don't like when students do that and mostly I send them to the headmaster. Just because you are the new here doesn't mean I'm going to forgive you that. You could simply wait fpr the lesson to be finished. I won't send you to Mr Jones but I'll make sure he knows about it"
My jaw dropped while my eyes widened. Was I imaging or this woman just threatened me? I frowned. Most of the times fire flashed in my eyes when I'm angry (people used to tell me that) so I wasn't surprised when I saw her scared. I gritted the teeth and snarled
"Mrs Clinton, there's nothing you've to forgive me because I've not done something wrong. If you think I'm afraid of you treats or Mr Jones, you are very wrong. I'm not such a girl that can be scared by something as lame as this. It's obvious you can control students very well. I think you just don't know how to do that so, please, don't judge me because you can do something" she looked extremely surprised when I relplied harshly. She pushed the glassed over her nose and eyed me strictly
"Ms Lorens, are you telling me I don't know hw to teach students?" my frown disappeared and I smirked at her
"You heard me very well, Mrs Clinton"
"Tha's the abuse, Ms Lorens"
"Really, Mrs Clinton? I didn't notice, thaks fo enlighten me up" I replied sarcastically. The teacher blushed and stood up immediately
"Ms Lorens!" she exclaimed so loudly that we received the attention of all of my classmates "I tell you as the advise, don't joke with me. I'm your teacher and I've many rights. You've not come yet so don't maje me send you there where you came from" I kept my smirk just rolled eyes
"Mrs Clinton, I don't really care about this. Ican prefectly well go where I came from, unfortunately I'm afraid the hospital won't receive me back"
Mrs Clinton's eyes widened when she heard the word hospital. She xamined me again and frowned, then took her hag and walked towards the door. I kept my eye on her. As soon as she disappeared in the corner I burst out laugher. It was just a miracle that the teacher already found me hampering. Well, I really wasn't waiting foe thins. But I guessed this could be funny, actually very funny.
I shrugged slightly and headed towards my desk. I took the notebooks and books and threw them in the bag. I felt someone touched my shoulder shyly. I turned back and eyed Kate. She wasn't looking at me. She seemed very affected by my appearance. I sighed deeply and tried to force myself smile.
"Hello there, Kate, long time no see you" Kate nodded and murmured
"Hello, Ali" there was the awkward silence between us as we walked towards the next class. I found out we'd most of the periods together. I got annoyed by silcence and broke it
"Well, how do you do? Hoe's life going?" Kate rubbed the back of her neck
"Everything's right" she whispered
"Lair" I said quietly. Her eyes shot up at me
"I'm not lying"
"Oh, yeah, I believed" I nodded "Kate, you know I can tell when you are lying me. So please, don't"
"Well, what can I say, Ali? Should I just come and apologize? We both know if it wasn't me nothing would have happen" Kate looked away. I frowned and grabbed her hand
"Kate!" I called her sharply "we both know it wasn't your fault. He would have find the way to finish his job. I'm sure of it. Don't blame yourself, you've done anything wrong"
"It doesn't matter now"
"Yes, it doesn't matter" I agreed. She looked surprised
"Wh-what?" I smiled at her and stepped in the class. I found the desk on the corner and sat on the chair. Kate stood in front of me "What do you mean, ALi?" I sighed again
"Kate, I know you wonder where I was and all, but whatever I'll tell you doesn't have something with you, okay?" she nodded
"Alright, now tell me what's going on?"
"You heard Red John killed my family, right?"
"Yes, there was the telecast about it but I don't know it everything was correct" I nodded
"I see. Kate, Red John is the serrial killer and all I know about him is that he doesn't kill without the reason. He killed my parents but I survived. I was injured so much, I spent the whole 6 months in the hospital, in coma" she winced but I shushed her "let me finish, Kate. After that I had the mental break and I was forced to spent my days in the clinic. Right now, I'm fine, Kate. If I wasn't, the doctor wouldn't let me out, isn't it so?" she nodded "and you, suffering here and blaming yourself, make everything worse. I can't come at school and watch you when I'm here and I'm not killing myself because I lost my parents, do you understand, Kate?"
Kate stayed sileny for awhile, realizing all of the words I told her and then sighed
"Yes, I understand, ALi" I grinned widely
"Very well, now promise me that you won't come here with that soure expression, I noticed you were wearing on the Maths" Kate smiled a little
"I'll try, I promise"
"Good"
Mission accomplished
