7. Truth

V – You found out the murderer’s identity?

K – Who?

I – But I need all of you come to police station.

A – Here is fine.

D – What?

M – Just go there first.

A – No, I am the one you looking for.

V – Alvin?

A – You want to know the truth? This is the truth. I killed her.

M – Why?

A – I think you know that my mother died. She was killed by Miss Lee and Principle! That night, I saw the whole incident. I was too shocked and I had trauma. My memory was wiped off. I went for medication but it didn’t help. Later on, I continue my life. During exam, I cheated. Miss Lee caught me. She threatened me and I ruined Principle’s car. When I looked at the car, I remembered. They killed my mother! I wanted to revenge. I dug all information from Miss Lee. She took her broken watch to repair. From the shop, she found out that Principle was just playing fool with her. She needed help and she asked Mike. She knew Mike hated Principle. Mike took the photos of Principle and gave to Miss Lee. Then, I spread the rumors. Both of them did such things! They are criminal! So, I planned to kill her.

K – You hurt my husband too?

A – Well, I called him. I told him that the woman who was knocked down by him is my mother. He was too shocked and crashed. He did it by himself. At first I wanted to kill both of them but I let Principle go. I understand the feeling of losing the ones we love. I don’t want Vivian to be sad. I love her. Sorry.

I – Please follow me.

Both Vivian and Mrs. Kate are crying. Mike and Danny look at their friend speechlessly. It is a revenge that leads to a murder. However, killing someone to fulfill someone’s soul is not revenge, it is just pathetic.

“That night, Miss Lee asked Alvin to come to school. She wanted to try something new.

ML – Alvin, you’re late.

A – I’m sorry. I was busy just now.

ML – Are you sure the guard didn’t see you.

A – Don’t worry. No one knows.

ML – This is the video which recorded Principle and other woman kissing at the pub. Make sure the whole school knows, can you?

A – Why don’t you just give you and Principle’s photo rather than Mike took the photo?

ML – Hey, I don’t want my name appears with the dirt. Just do it unless you want me to expose the dark secret of you.

A – Oh, I know my secret will die with you, isn’t it?

Alvin stabbed Miss Lee. She fell down and tried to runaway. Before she did, Alvin stabbed her again.”One month later, Principle died of internal bleeding. Five months later, they graduate without their friend, Alvin.

6. Accident

School is small. Anything happens inside the school or outside the school, students will know and the news will spread in an unexpected speed.

A – Vivian, how’s Principle?

V – He’s still hasn’t wake up yet.

M – Don’t worry. I’m sure Principle will be fine.

D – What exactly had happened?

V – The police said that my father had lost control and crashed a tree.

A – So, it’s an accident?

V – We’re not sure yet. He was using his mobile at that time.

M – They can track back the line.

V – But his mobile was ruined.

D – How about later we go together to visit Principle?

M – Ok.

V – Thanks.

            An accident occurs every second. Some lives while some not. Even though we escaped from death, we can’t escape from injury.

M – Alvin, don’t just sit there. We come here to help.

A – I know but Vivian’s getting the water now.

D – Here she comes.

V – Don’t talk so loud. This is hospital.

M – Where’s your mother?

V – She went home. She had been staying here from last night. I asked her to go back home to rest.

A – I don’t think so. Hello, Aunt Kate.

V – Mum, why don’t you get some sleep?

K – I can’t sleep either. Thanks for helping.

M – He’s our Principle. We will do anything to help.

            Someone knocks the door again. Vivian opens the door. It’s Inspector with other polices.

I – I come here to do my job.

K – Sorry?

I – I found out something and I want to ask someone some question. That someone I think who is responsible for Miss Lee’s death.

5. Guilt

            If there’s no sound when a family is having meal, I’m sure that something is not right.

K – Only both of us tonight, Vivian. Your father received a call and went outside. He might be staying outside too.

V – Mum, you do know dad’s still on his bad habit, don’t you?

K – Vivian, shut up!

V – Why don’t you do something?

K – Are you blaming me? I’m guilty, am I?

V – I thought we won’t face the same problem since 3 years ago.

K – Believe me. He did stop his affairs 3 years ago.

V – You even knew the relationship between Miss Lee and Dad?

K – He gave money to get rid of her. He learned from mistake.

V – What mistake?

K – 3 years ago, I wanted to divorce but your father refused to do so. He decided to break up with Miss Lee. They quarreled. Your father was driving and it was raining. In a sudden, Miss Lee gone mad and pushed his hand. Then, they knocked down a woman. They were too scared and they ran away. Since then, your father came back to our family.

V – You all are evil! Don’t you feel guilty?

K – You don’t understand. This is the only way. For your information, your father and I are glad that Miss Lee died. You feel the same way, don’t you? Everyone hates Miss Lee and they must be happy and willing to celebrate for her death. I won’t surprise if the murderer is someone I know.

            In a sudden, phone rings. Mrs. Kate picks up the phone. She turns her head and cries.

K – Call from hospital.
