Hey guys, it's Amber again. How was the last chapter? Please give me your feedback. Not receiving any is really discouraging. Please remember to vote and comment.

"Guess what." She suddenly said and we all looked at her. "Temi wasn't with any of her friends the night of the murder." We all shared a look.

"So where was she?" Zikora asked.

"That's the thing, I don't know. She was seen talking to Kay Kay at about 5pm that evening. I can't say they were having an argument of any sort but they weren't really smiling with each other." Derin said, opening a footage from that day.

RVHS had CCTV cameras everywhere, except private places and the corridor leading to our spot. It was not that easy to hack into it,but Derin was good at things like this. She showed us a footage of Temi and Kay Kay having a conversation, after a while, Kay Kay stormed out angrily.

"So they were talking but it wasn't a very nice conversation. So Temi knows something and we're going to get it from her." The bell for the end of the siesta rang and we left the room one after the other to avoid being caught.

I got to my room and saw Angela preparing for prep. "Angela, what was the meaning of what you said today?" I asked after closing the door. She pretended like she didn't hear what I said.

"Angela I'm serious. Can't you answer me? What did you mean by someone is always watching?"

"I'll tell you but then I'll have to kill you. Some secrets are better left unsaid." She said, leaving the room. She really got me creeped out there.

I quickly changed and packed my things for prep. I wasn't the type of person to cajole someone into talking, I got to the study room, sat down beside Angela and began vto read. I didn't want to her to know I was scared to my bones. I began to study everything we learned in class and I did the homework we were given.

After studying for a while, it was time for recreation. I went to my room to drop my stuff on my bed, after that I left the building to the tree, where I always stay. I sat down, looking at everyone and everything.

How did everyone feel knowing that the killer of Kambili wasn't caught? How did they feel, knowing that her death was ruled out as suicide and not murder? Deep down inside their hearts I knew everyone wanted to know what happened that night, but they were all scared to ask questions.

"A penny for your thoughts?" I knew it was William talking. My heart started beating and I knew that wasn't normal.

"Um, hey! Aren't you playing football with your friends?" I asked him and he smiled, sitting down.

"I would have but you looked so lonely and I just felt like talking to you." He said and I nodded. "So what are you thinking about?" He asked again.

I contemplated whether to tell him the truth or to just ignore. "Well, do you think Kay really committed suicide?" He scoffed and smiled.

"If there's anything I knew about Kay Kay, it was she loved life. She didn't like hurting herself, she didn't even want to die. If it was possible, she would have lived forever, so no I don't think it was suicide. I know someone killed her but the question now is who did and why?" He said the last part quietly, his voice was almost breaking and I knew he was hurting.

I took his hands in mine and squeezed it. "That's what I keep asking myself too but the more I ask, the more I'm confused. Kay Kay would never hurt a fly. Yes, she was problematic but who isn't? She tried her best to treat everyone equally." I said with tears almost in my eyes. As if he knew I was struggling with the tears, he squeezed my hands and rubbed them.
