Chapter One

CHAPTER 1

I'm Nervous, Scared and bothered while walking in front of my sofa repeatedly.

I'm still thankful that, that woman didn't hurt me.

I already turned the Television off because I don't want to heard bad news anymore.

The beggar killed someone and that's a serious situation.

I want someone to talk to. I was about to get my phone when it suddenly rang.

I answered the call without looking at the caller's name.

"Hello?"

"OMG Mary! Have you seen the news?" She probably pertaining to the news I saw earlier.

"It's happening now, turn your TV on" She said so I did.

My eyes got widened with a sudden surprised. What the hell. This isn't happening. I'm just dreaming right?

I'm on the news! I'm so nervous specially when the reporter said it's possible that I'm an accomplice!

Who she is to make a judgement?She didn't even know the situation yet she's judging me.

"Care to explain why are you with her?" I almost forgot that Julia is still on the line.

The news was about the beggar and I, it was played in the CCTV that we're together other people would probably think that we're related to each other. That's how people think. And judge.

"Honestly I don't know that woman I was just trying to help her" I reasoned out and sighed.

"Okay I trust you, If ever the police ask you just tell the truth I'm on your side girl" She said then I ended up the call.

I deeply sighed as I closed my eyes, relaxing my self. I hope the police will believe me. I mean I'm confident because I know that I didn't do anything but who knows.

There might be some kind of police who's hard to believe.

___~~~___

6:30 AM when I woke up. I did my usual routine;I take a bath and wear my school uniform.

I cooked for myself after that packed my things. I'm sure I will be late as usual.

It's only a few distance away from here to school so I decided to walk instead.

As I enter the school building I'm wondering why most of the students I saw were looking at me—cut the word looking cause it's more likely staring.

I just ignored them cause I don't really care it's just that I'm not used to be center of attraction.

I enter the room silently but my classmates suddenly become quite when I'm inside.

What's with them?

"How are they related to each other?"

"They look so close"

"Maybe it's her mother"

Gossiping someone who's near to you is just too funny. Like they gossip on purpose for you to hear it.

I slowly shake my head as I sat ony chair. I ignored their remarks cause I don't have time to explain myself and I'm too lazy to talk.

"Guys There's a police!" I turned my gaze to my garrulous  classmate who suddenly came inside.

I saw a wondering looks of my classmates. Seconds later our home room Lecturer came.

"Good morning Class, please be seated" She muttered as she put all her things on the table.

Miss Dolores—our lecturer is about to speak when we heard a knock coming from the door. Miss Dolores gave us a quick glance before she walked to open the door.

Three Police showed up.

Miss Dolores turned her gaze to us again this time with forehead furrowed.

“Good Morning Ma'am, sorry for disturbing your class Is this Class Class A-2?” I heard the Police asked. He had a well built body but for me He's like a cartoon character who I watched back then—Jhonny Bravo.

“Ah yeah” Miss Dolores answered.

I have a bad feeling about this.

They went outside the room that's why I couldn't heard them anymore maybe they're talking something private.

Minutes later Miss Dolores came and she's still with the three Man.

"Evans?Come here" I was nervously stood up and went outside with her.

"Mary Madison Evans?We are inviting you for some questions in the police station" I deeply sighed I know this would happen. I slowly nodded.

I went back inside and get my back, My classmates eyes were full of wonder. Well I don't care.

“Dont be scared we only need to know the truth" The man besides me said seriously. He seems kind unlike Jhonny Bravo.

"We won't bite you" The other man said while laughing, Now this Man seems to be annoying.

We're now walking out of the campus when I saw Julia walking we bumped into each other. She gave me a curious look and I just shrugged my shoulder.

I feel anxious walking together with the police, I got a sharp stares coming from my schoolmates.

For my three years of living in Herson City I didn't imagine my self getting into trouble.

We arrived in Herson Police Station in Less than 30 minutes. It's not that long ride but for me it was, I was nervous being seated besides that annoying guy who always talk even it's nonsense.

“I am Chief Inspector Velasquez I'm handling the case of That Woman” He said firmly as he sat on her chair.

The two police we're on my back.

“I'm gonna straight to the point, We saw you on a CCTV video together with that beggar woman—I assume you know her?She was the one who caused a scene on your school” He said Seriously. He has this scary look.

“Hmm yeah” I answered nervously.

“how are you related to her?”

“I don't know her Sir, It just happened that I want to help her” I said honestly. But he seems not convinced on my answer. What? Is he suspecting me or something?

“Is there a person who could prove what you've said?” He asked with raised eyebrows.

I'm thinking about two person who knows my background. Julia and Tita Melody but I don't want to dragged Tita Melody here, She already help me in so many ways just not this.

“Julia Cordova my Bestfriend, she can prove you all wrong”  I muttered confidentially.

“Let's see” She said then he stood up, he communicate to other police using signs.

“I'll give you a ride” I nodded slightly as I follow the man outside. I read earlier his name tag—Vescinzo. It sounds rare. He's the only police that's way better than the two.

“I'm sorry it's just that Sir Velasquez is a little bit upset about what happened yesterday he's the one who blamed” He said while we're heading to he's car—the police car.

“It's okay Sir” I assured him. He's really kind. It's too unusual that a police apologize to you.

Minutes later we arrived at the school I bid my goodbye and immediately walk inside the building.

I'm well informed that I'm late on my first two subject.

It's already 9:45, Fifteen minutes before my third subject so I decided to wait in cafeteria.

I only saw a countable students who's here and I'm not familiar of all them.

So I don't care.

I sat on the end of table the one who can't easily see by the teachers or students.

As I sat on the chair I suddenly remember the things that happened to me yesterday. It was so quick.

I met a beggar who turned out to be a criminal—well she killed someone so she considered as a criminal.

I've been dragged on the case that I've nothing to do. O just wanted to help that's all. But I didn't know that helping someone will put you on a case.

I suddenly remember what my grandma once said. It's okay to be kind but don't trust easily.

I didn't trust her Grandma, I helped her. But sometimes doing kind things will get you into trouble. It will just hurt you sometimes. Especially when no one can appreciate what you did.

My explanation was just too easy to understand why can't they just trust me? I'm just a simple student who got dragged into this kind of trouble.

And now they're suspecting me. How funny. Two days ago I was just a introvert student a normal one.

And now I'm all over the news.

I can't believe this is happening.

I didn't imagine that I could be like this. I didn't wished this.

I regret helping too much. I'm the one who helped but look at them suspecting what I did.

I wonder when will this be end. Or should I say, I wish this is just a dream.

But the moment I opened my eyes, Random memories runs through my mind. The day when I met that Woman and the Day when I knew she was crazy. I know it's real. It's the reality.

And I must face it. Because nothing will happen if I will going to sit her and stares at the endless view. 

This is just a glimpse of my problem. I may bot used to this problem but I'm used to the painful feeling.
