Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 75

While we are walking on the hallways of the hotel, I can't stop myself from staring to Katharina. Lucy found something about his family, and I don't know what was that. But I know that Katharina knows something. I know that she does know something.

It is because of the way she reacted when she found out that her dad offered me a job to his business.

I can see that she is scared and that she is worried, not about me, abut about something.

If I wpn't join her dad's business, then there is no business for me to know what really happened back then. What was the start of the killing 37 or 39 years ago.

Maybe if I know how the killings started in 1887, then maybe I know how to stop it then. Maybe it is all connected.

If I know what Lucy found out about Katharina's family, then maybe it could give me an answer on why Victor Sable killed her, his own sister.

Maybe it could show me and gave me an answer if the killings of 1887 is connected to today's killing.

But... How could there be a connection? I mean, I just don't understand.

I have no choice but to work behind my girlfriends back.

After a minutes of driving from the hotel to our school inside the townn, we finally arrived the school.

A lot of studetns were outside, I don't know what is happening, but it loks like they are gathering, like everyone is gathering.

When we came out of the car everyone claps their hands and they all greeted me with their smile with a poster saying 'WELCOME BACK MR. PRESIDENT'

"Omay God? What the hell is happening?" I ask them with a smile in my face. I never experience this kind of surprise in my whole life, so I don't exactly know how to react towards their surprise.

I juts stood there while my tears are falling down on my cheeks.

"Welcome Back babe." Katharina said and she kisses me on my cheeks that makes me happy. I felt so... Happy that I couldn't even talk, I couldn't even react to what is happening right now. "Welcome back dude!" I lok back to see Vick and the girls witha cake oon their hands with a smiled on their faces. "Dude, I am just gone for almost a month..." I said with still my happy tone. "Yeah, only gone for a moth, but you could end up gone forever." Jonna answered. "And the fact thaat we miss our president is the other reason why we celebrated your return." She added. "Yeah, becasue Sarah controlled everyone like tommorrow is the start of the war." Carla said.

I look to everyone and everyone is smiliing and clapping. I didn't know that I affect these much of students. Like I remmeber I was being bullied because I am different, but now look, they are celebrating that I am back.

I just couldn't feel so sad right now.

It's like every problem that I am having is gone.

All gone.

"Okay everybody, that is enough. Don't forget that class is still happening." Mrs. Jospehine said that makes my eyes widened.

She is back?

I didn't know that.

I mean why? Didn't she knew that a murder is happening in our town But she still chooses to come back?

Have you remember her? The one that we all thought that her surname is Vagine even though it is Vagianna? The strict one.

Well, last year, she just disappeared after her whole family was massacred by her ex husband.

Isn't her life so tragic?

But now she is back.

And guess what? With more fear towards her? Noice.

I hate and love her at the same time but I just don't get why she came back.

"I know that face." I look to Katharina. "And yes, we all ask that question after she came back last week. It looks like she doesn't care that a murder is happening, like she is used to it, ever since the massacre." She said.

Her family wasn't living in here, in our town, they are living outside the West, probably like in Chicago.

"She lives here now again?" I asks her, Katharina and she nodded.

I hope she survives this killing in our town. It looks like she went through hell after a year. I mean...

It is so sad though, her story.

Everyone followed Ms. Josephine's inside the academy. Everyone went to their classes except for us. "becareful alright?" Katharina said and she kisses me and went to the other hallway since we are not in the same class.

Just me and Vick.

"Have you seen Austin?" I asks him out of nowhere.

I just got curious.

I mean, as far as I know, his suspension is now done, it is lift up last week, but I don't see him anywhere.

I mean, I don't expect him to be outside earlier since he hated me so much for him to celebrate that I am back and that I am out form the hospital.

It's just I always see him in the hallway, walking with his jock friends, having a conversation in front of his locker, which is the locker that we just pass through, no Austin.

Vick look to me.

"You are finding the maan who tried to kill you?" He asks me and I just smiled since I don't know to answer that.

Austin did a lot of things towards me, I hate him so much that I want to kill him, but part of me doesn't hate him ever since I've ehard his story, the reason why he became the person who he is right now. Like... I don't know.. Every mad ness is gone.

He raped me, he accused me as Chase killers, he tried to kill me,which is not his fault, he was possessed. I know that.

"Ever since he was suspended to our class, to school, got kicked out of the football team, he decided not to show up. I heard he spent his day in the hospital. And ever since then, he just disappeared. He didn't drop out, he just left school." He answered. "poeple say that he become a gangster since he was seen with this big ass man who is wearing a shade while bringing a gray suitcase, which is probably a drug inside, or a money inside." He said.

Gangster?

I mean, yeah, it is predictable.

It's just why didn't he drop out?

If he is not going to school anymore, why didn't he drop out?

After having that conversation, we went straight to our classroom and after that we just listened to our class.

After the bell ring, we all prepared our self to eat our lunch.

Nothing really special happens, everyone just talks about anyhting. They just asks me what did I do after me being released to the hospital and why didn't I came back to school and had a 2 weeks rest.

We all just talks and laughs.

But I can see that jake is faking his laugh. Like he is thinking about something.

Like his mind wasn't focus to us, like he is htinking about something so deep that I couldn't even reach him. And when he saw me looking at him, I avoided my eyes at hm and just went straight looking to my food and start eating it.

Damn Jackson, what is he going to say now?
