活在旋律中，我的音乐人生，烙印在这音符的日记。

            Sometimes, students need a break. They can walk around anywhere before going back to home. Four of them walk around in a shopping mall.

A – Still don’t want to go home?

V – I hate my family. They lie to each other.

A – At least you have a family. My father left me and my mother died in an accident.

M – I hate my job but without it, I can’t go to school.

D – If I can choose, I won’t go to school. I hate school.

A – Me too. I hate Miss Lee. She used me.

D – You’re lucky because she just used you only.

M – I thought she got only 2 helpers.

V – She asked you to do things for her too?

D – No, but she was evil. Remember I broke her watch?

A – You apologized and Miss Lee didn’t angry.

D – She took it inside her heart. I saw her tearing all my papers and made me re sit my exam every time.

M – For a watch?

V – What watch is that? Show us. There’s a watch shop.

D – This watch.

V – You’re kidding me. This is the watch my father gave to my mother during their anniversary.

M – Every woman with Principle gets this watch! I saw him giving the watch to them.

A – You broke her watch. Then, she took it to repair and found out she shared the same watch with others. She was totally hated Principle.

M – That’s why I helped Miss Lee.

V – You hate my father?

M – He accused me for smoking in school. I was nearly expelled!

V – My mother knew!

A – Same watch to every woman. Of course, she knew.

D – Miss Lee loved the watch. She must be very upset.

M – Looks like all of us hate Miss Lee.

V – Everyone hates her.

M – I saw something at my working place.

V – Wait a minute. I thought you quitted your job.

D – You’re underage and you still work at the pub.

M – I’m poor. I got no other way. Listen to me. I saw Principle with other woman. In fact, he’s with women.

V – Impossible.

M – It’s true. So did Miss Lee.

D – Miss Lee did have affair with Principle.

M – I helped Miss Lee to take the photo. Now I know that she threatened you to spread the news.

A – You took those photos? Wow, she definitely wanted to revenge against Principle. Vivian, your mother knew anything?

V – I’m not sure. Lately, she locked herself in her room and cried. When I talked to her, she pretended to be ok.

D – It means that Miss Lee knew Principle had been seeing other women. So she decided to sabotage Principle. She asked for Mike’s help to take photos of him at the pub. Then, she threatened Alvin to spread rumors with photos.

A – But how did Miss Lee know that Principle went to the pub? Mike, did you tell her?

M – No.

V – I can’t believe this. He betrayed mother and me.

A – What are you going to do?

V – 3 years ago, my parents quarreled almost everyday. I can’t imagine if my mother knew.

D – I don’t think that your mother is stupid. You said that she had been acting strangely. She might know.

M – What if she knew and confronted with Miss Lee?

People always have secrets. They lie to keep secrets. To protect the lie, they make sacrifices. What happened 3 years ago that made Miss Lee left? Who told Miss Lee about Principle? Did Mrs. Kate know about Principle? Who killed Miss Lee? Each of them holds an answer for different questions.

Everyday, students learn new knowledge. After school, they go back home to finish their homework and do revision. Vivian cleans her table and walks downstairs to have dinner but she hears her parents.

P – Kate, please stop it! I had enough for today.

Kate(K) – Then, you tell me. Is the rumor true?

P – Kate, I love you and I know I shouldn’t been trusted since last time incident. I was wrong 3 years ago. I broke up with her and never saw her again. I am always loyal to you. Honey, please believe me. I love this family and I never let anything spoils us.

            On the next day, students are still on their latest topic. Who killed Miss e? Are the rumors true?

V – Alvin! Why would you spread the rumors?

A – What?

V – Don’t deny! I checked last night. You are the one who posted the rumors onto the forum!

A – I heard from someone else.

V – Who?

M – Hey guys, calm down.

V – Everyone knew that Alvin hated my father. He put chewing gums into my father’s car.

A – I was given order to do it!

V – Who?

D – Alvin, is there something we don’t know?

M – Tell us, secrets are safe among us.

A – Miss Lee.

V – No way! Why?

A – I cheated during my exam. Miss Lee caught me but she promised me that she won’t take action if I do something for her.

D – You were threatened by Miss Lee to do all this? Rumors too?

A – I did as she told.

M – No wonder.

V – What do you mean, Mike? You know something else?

M – You all want to know secrets?

            It’s morning again, students on their move to go to school. Along the way, they wonder what’ll happen on that day but they never aspect to see a death body in their school.

Inspector(I) – Victim is a Math teacher, she was stabbed by knife twice, front and back, bleeds until death. So tell me exactly how you found her, Principle?Principle(P) – Most of the time, I am the first person who arrives. This morning, I drove my car and I saw her lying on the floor with blood. I checked her pulse and I called the police.

I – What kind of teacher is she?

P – She’s kind to students. I never heard any complains about her. Actually, she just came back to school last year. 3 years ago, she quitted her job and went for vacation. She said that she needs to relax after years of teaching.

I – She had no family or boyfriend?

P – No.

I – Ok, I will come back if I need any information.

            Such an unfortunate case happens but still they continue their work. Teachers keep on teaching while students keep on learning.

Mike(M) – Vivian, any news from Principle?

Vivian(V) – I don’t know. I haven’t talk to my father yet.

Danny(D) – I can’t believe that Miss Lee was killed.

Alvin(A) – Police still fail to find out who did this, they are such losers.

V – Hey, she died in our school, my father’s school.

D – But Vivian, I really need to praise Principle for being so calm when handling this case.

V – My father is a good principle.

M – Are you sure? Have you forgotten something?

V – I admit that my father did have an affair with other woman but it was 3 years ago. We dealt with it and solved the problem.

A – Rumors happen for reasons.

D – I heard something. Miss Lee and Principle had been together for 5 years. Principle was the one who gave Miss Lee money to go away 3 years ago.

V – You’re just joking.

M – He tried to kick her off. What if he tried to finish her this time?
