The sound of Michael loud alarm clock rang loudly as he woke up in a daze. Using his hand to hit the alarm clock as it fell to the ground. He slowly sat on his bed , his head was aching him so much, "great a fucking migraine in the morning" he said to himself as he walked into the bathroom and had a nice hot shower which was different from other days where he had a cold shower. He put on his clothes after having his shower then taking a bottle of water from his desk he drank it hoping the headache would stop but it  didn't so he just shrugged and ignored it, a plain headache was not going to ruin his day.He walked slowly out of his room and closed the door behind him then headed downstairs for breakfast. "well you're up early" Emily said as she gave him a smile while placing the plates filled with bacon and eggs on the table. " so? , can't I wake up early if I want to" Michael said as he sat down and started eating his food. Emily sat directly opposite him as she had a cup of tea in her hand, sipping the tea with her pinky out she had a news paper in her hand. Michael was still experiencing his painful headache but trying his best to hide it from Emily, he failed. "Are you alright?" Emily said as she stood and walked over to him, placing her hand over his forehead , it was hot. " seems like you're coming down with a fever" she said with a concerned look on her face. Michael moved her hand from his head "I'm alright" he said in a harsh tone. Finishing his breakfast he walked towards the door as he put on his shoes and was already turning the door handle when Emily called his name, "oh by the way, some officers stopped by this morning saying they wanted to ask you questions about a recent incident" she said as she folded her hands giving Michael a cold stare. Michael stared back at her briefly before turning around and walking out the door. "The police...hmm, I wonder what they want" Michael talked to himself as he walked to school. Since he had woken up early the bus won't be arriving for about 50 minutes so Michael decided to go for walk atleast walking once in a while can be healthy. Michael decided to take a short walk through the park, the Reheim park , there were few that visited the park in the morning mostly runners and cyclist that passed through it .The park looked so magnificent and the cold wind blowing against Michael's face was very refreshing, he thought about visiting the park more often as he stopped by a rose bush and plucked a small red rose. Putting it against his noise he breathed in slowly as the sweet smelling scent enchanted him. Michael's fun in nature was caught short when he turned slightly to put the rose in his bag he noticed that for a while, a man sitting on bench a few metres away from him had been occasionally glancing at him. He pretended to not notice as he put the rose in a plastic transparent bag . He really wanted to believe that it was only his imagination, it wasn't, the man had now been following Michael and everytime he turned to look the man would pretend to be on a call or just casually look at flowers like he was studying them. "Atleast try not to be obvious, idiot" Michael thought to himself as he finally walked out the park and was now at school. When he turned around to look if the man was still following him, he didn't see anybody, "what a weird man" he said as he heard the bell rang and the teachers telling everyone to go to the auditorium, the assembly was about to start.

♤ ♤ ♤

All the students were gathered in the assembly hall , the auditorium was shut down for some "renovation reasons", they probably didn't want to use it anymore since someone died last time, a wise choice. Principal Merriweather announced to the students that classses would be ending early from now on and everyone was advised to go straight home due to the incident , this was precautionary measure agreed by the teachers.He told the students that they report anything strange they notice or if they see anyone whether a teacher, student or stranger at school doing something suspicious. Michael who was sitted amongst the crowd couldn't help but smile inwardly, he acknowledged himself for being to get away with three murders and no proof or witness had been found against him.But even at that there was something that still bothered Michael , who was the man that followed him in park and Emily said the police were looking for him, it looks like they may have caught on to him or maybe not but either way he was going to have to be careful in every move he takes. The assembly was soon over and every one in an orderly manner were asked to leave the hall. Michael had already exited the hall and was walking towards his locker to get some of his books and his bag when a girl who was carrying many books that were stacked on her hand bumped into him and fell on her back on the floor with the books getting flung in the air and then falling at his feet. "are you ok" he said as he stretched his hand offering to help her up. The girl raised her head as she looked at Michael . She extended her own hand and held his. Their eyes were locked for a moment and even though she had Glasses Michael could see that she had blue eyes,the same color of eyes he also had. He helped her up to her feet then helped her gather her books. He was about to walk past her when she blocked his path, "you're Michael watterson right" she said looking down , Michael titled his head to the side as he smiled and said, "yh , but everyone just calls me Michael...can i help you with something?" he said but the girl was still looking down with her hands held together, "no its no...no..thing, its just we've been in the same class for a while and this is the first time I'm actually ta..ta..talking to you, funny right?" she said as she stuttered slightly. Michael didn't know what the hell this girl wanted but she was wasting his time. "yh...funny. So if there's nothing else i guess i will get going..." he said but was stopped half way by the girl "uhmm are you free on saturday, I was wondering if you wanted to catch a movie" the girl said as Michael could clearly see her face had turned red. "Yh wonder on bitch"Michael thought as he looked at this girl who he had never seen but according to her they were in the same class.Michael ususally didn't go out on saturday's unless something important came up.He was usually in his room , reading his books or novels . "I'm sorry I won't be free" he said and with that he left her. He really didnt have time to waste on girls, speaking of girls he hadn't seen sydney after their breakup, poor girl most have been suprised I broke up with her. During his interaction with the strange girl Michael could see Dr Nancy by a corner talking to a man who he couldn't really see because he had his back turned to him , Michael stopped at his locker and pretended to be taking things out his locker while carefully observing them. He saw the man giving Dr Nancy a big brown envelope and then he walked out of the school. Michael didn't know why but he felt really curious as to what was in the envelope. He saw Dr Nancy heading for her office so he ran and caught up to her, " hello there Doctor Nancy or should i just call you Nancy or Doctor" Michael said with a smirk on his face as he placed his hand on his face. "well you seem happy judging by the fact you don't have respect for your teacher, what do you want!?" Dr Nancy said with a smile . "well I was interested to know the contents of that envelope" Michael said as trying reaching for the envelope but Dr Nancy stepped back "hmm seems like you have forgotten who is a student and teacher here" she said. Michael gave her a cold stare and she equally stared back at him when suddenly their conversation was caught short as a girl walked between them, I've gotten the files you wanted from the Principal Miss Nancy. It was Emily. Dr Nancy gave Emily the files she had been holding, "here keep this in my drawers and lock it with this key" she said giving her the files and a small silver key.Michael observing everything turned around and walked away, "well guess i was rude, sorry Dr. Nancy" he said as he waved her goodbye and walked to his class. Dr Nancy looked at him as he walked away and couldn't help but feel something was off but gave a casual shrug and walked into her office.

Michael was reading his textbook as he sat on his seat in English class , Mr zuniga was still teaching but Michael was still lost in thought wondering who the man he saw in the morning was and now this strange man that gave Dr Nancy the envelope, "what a pain in the ass". Michael's thoughts were interrupted as he heard laughter and the teacher Mr zuniga scolding a girl who was looking at Michael in the class. Michael turned his head to look at the girl, it was Emily. "so she really is in my class" Michael said as his put his hands together and closed his eyes. He recalled the memory of Dr Nancy giving Emily her key, seems like she trust her because teachers never really give their keys to students unless they are tasked with assisting that said teacher. Michael had a plan , he was going to get close to this girl and use her to get hold of those files. After the bell rang and the class was over, Michael walked up to Emily and told her he was going to be free on saturday, "uhm ...ok that would be g..great!" she said with a cheerful expression on her face. Michael waved her goodbye as he went to his other classes.

The day was finally over and Michael took his bag and walked home to school, he stopped at the park again to enjoy the view of the afternoon sun which would soon set. He didnt want to get home late and answer loads of question from his step mum so he continued his journey home.

Opening the door slowly, he took off his shoes. "I'm home" he said. As he turned to look towards the sitting room, just there right before his eyes, he saw Emily his step mum seated down but she was with two men who wore brown jackets and had police badges on them. He recognized one of them to be the man that was following him this morning. "welcome Michael, these two kind gentlemen would like to have a word with you" Emily said as she looked at Michael with a smile. One of the men who Michael saw in the morning stood up and walked over to Michael, extending his hand, "well hello..Michael right, I have heard so much about you" the man said in a deep voice. Michael felt his heart skip a beat.....SHITT!!!!.
