The New Girl

Chapter 56: Yes or No

(BRILLIANT HIGH)

Patricia spot Daniel and Barbara walking into the school together. Their hands were interlocked as they kept talking to each other. She hid herself into the class behind her, when they were coming towards her direction.

Resting her back on the door she took a deep breath. "I must be crazy.. no he must be crazy to choose Barbara. Maybe he was right.. I lost my chances" she muttered to herself.

But then, she heard some noise coming from the extra office in the empty class.

"Liam, Selene, Jennifer, Annabelle and Ethan, are the students currently not in school" She heard the familiar voice. She walked towards the door and peek though the keyhole. She found the principal talking on the phone.

Patricia frowned. If students are not in school, why is he telling someone? It's feels strange.

"I'll let you know if they don't Come tomorrow and question them... yes.. but why are you so curious about Annabelle?"

The person seems to yell at him. "I'm so sorry, I apologize".. the call ended.

Patricia quickly went to hide herself and watch the principal walk out of the class.

"Daniel" Patricia called Daniel when she found him alone.

"Hey" Daniel greeted awkwardly.

"Have you heard anything from Annabelle?" She asked and Daniel frowned.

"Did you eat something?" He asked and Patricia glared at him.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"You're the last person I expect to ask about Annabelle"

Patricia rolled her eyes. "I still hate her, I'm just curious"

"I don't know" he replied.

"But you guys are friends"

"Yeah, I haven't heard from her. Ethan is also not in school with some others. I think something is going on" he said.

"I thought so too" Patricia muttered.

"Why did you ask anyway?"

Patricia made to explain but Barbara showed up.

"Hey" She went to wrap her arm around Daniel. "I was looking for you"

Patricia heard this and rolled her eyes.

"I..." Daniel made to speak.

"Let's go" Barbara tipped toe and peck his cheek before Patricia and then drag him with her. Patricia closed her eyes and sighed. This is seriously getting on her nerves.

"You kids should go back. I and Ethan are staying" Mrs Serena said to the three people staring at her. They all made a sad face except Jennifer.

"They can actually stay if they want to" Daisy shrugged as she sat on the couch.

"They need to be in school. Beside that guy Ricky must'nt know you guy have an idea about what's happening. It'll put your life in danger" Mrs Serena said.

"She's right" Peter appeared and walked towards them. "Daisy cleared every footage of you coming here with Annabelle and we are going to do the same once you leave. That devil is a very cunny type of person, so you need to be careful"

"What of Ethan? When is he returning?" Jennifer asked.

"I can't answer that" Peter replied. "A car is waiting for you outside, my men will take you home safely" He exchanged a look with Jennifer.
