SILVER WOOD PSYCHIATRIC WARD

THE NEXT MORNING, my Mom and I are outside of the Silver Wood institute, awaiting for Trudy Young.

My Mom had told me that she worked out the whole suburban serial killers thing with Trudy Young. My Mom had tracked down the husband and wife, Fletcher and Mina Dreyfus at an abandoned house. And now, Fletcher and Mina has been committed into the Arrington Asylum.

The double doors to the Silver Wood Psychiatric Ward opens. Trudy Young slowly walks out, inhaling and exhaling the fresh air.

"Hi, Trudy." I said to her with a smile.

"Hi, Angie." Trudy Young said, slowly walks up to me and my Mom. "And thank you both, for sorting out the suburban."

"You're welcome, Trudy." My Mom said.

"Well, I'll see you guys around." I said, and walks away.

SAUNDERS HOME

Miss. Violet and I are sitting at the kitchen countertop, eating a bowl of Fruit Loops cereal.

"So, I had an uneasy vibe about the assistant principal, Miss. Fernkensi Periwinkle. Turns out she's a spy." Miss. Violet Benton said.

"How so?" I asked.

"There hasn't been a assistant principal at Somerville High. So, I assume that your psychopathic arch-nemesis, Amy Tooney, had sent her to spy on you." Miss. Violet Benton said.

"Fernkensi Periwinkle is just a pawn for Amy Tooney to use." I said.

Miss. Violet's phone buzzes in her pants pocket. She pulls out her phone and answers it. "Hey, Cherry."

Miss. Violet's calm expression turns bewildered. "What? I'm on my way." And she hangs up her phone.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Fernkensi Periwinkle's body was found in the janitor's closet this morning." Miss. Violet said.

Miss. Violet and I exchange bewildered looks at each other.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

After Miss. Violet and I had arrived, I went into Miss. Leuven's guidance counselor's office to keep up with my scheme ploy.

And besides, Miss. Leuven is barely in he guidance counselor's office anyway. She's always in the school office.

So, right now, the paramedics had put Miss. Periwinkle's dead body in a body bag and rolls her out on a gurney.

In Miss. Leuven's guidance counselor's office, I'm sitting on the sofa. And Miss. Violet slowly walks inside.

"I spoke to Principal Darla Bennett, and she said that you could come back to Somerville High, so, she can complete your semester exams." Miss. Violet said to me.

"You didn't have to do that." I said, getting up and slowly walks up to her.

"I know, but I didn't want you to miss your semester exams due to your fake death. So, you're good." Miss. Violet said.

Miss. Violet and I exchange small smiles at each other and we slowly walks out of Miss. Leuven's guidance counselor's office and into the half empty school hallway where the Saunders Gang are.

"Hey, guys." I said.

"Hey, Angie." The Saunders Gang said in unison.

"Well, I gotta go. But it was nice meeting you guys." Miss. Violet said.

"You too." Yvonne said.

Miss. Violet and I exchange small smiles at each other and we hugs each other. And gently pulls away from the hug.

"Thanks for helping me with my scheme ploy." I said to Miss. Violet.

"You're welcome, Angie. And you also have my phone number, so, you can phone call me at anytime." Miss. Violet said.

"I know." I said to her.

"Leaving so soon, Violetquinn." Miss. Cherry said, slowly walks up beside Miss. Violet.

"Yeah. Besides, you're tolerable, Cherry." Miss. Violet said to Cherry, playfully teasing her. And looks at Me and the Saunders Gang. "I'll see you guys."

"You too." I said.

Miss. Violet looks at me. "Angie."

"Miss. Violet." I said.

Miss. Violet and I exchange small smiles at each other and she walks away.

Angie (VO) It was great to see my older best friend, Miss. Violet Benton. And I hope she and I encounter each other again sometimes.

JEN'S DINER

That night, I'm sitting in a booth table with my strawberry milkshake. And Rowan slides into the booth table across from me.

"I got your text, what's up?" Rowan asked me.

"It's about Aiden and Me." I said to him.

"Okay." Rowan said.

"Aiden and I kissed and made out." I tell Rowan.

Rowan processes what I told him about Aiden and Me. "Aiden and You kissed and made out?"

"Yeah. I'm so sorry, Rowdy. I didn't mean to hurt you. So, I understand if you're mad at me. I'm mad at myself." I said.

"I appreciate your honesty about telling me, Andy, but I've known that Aiden and You are couple-game. So, I'm not mad, but like I said, I appreciate your honesty." Rowan said to me.

"You're welcome. Can we stay together until graduation?" I asked him.

"Yeah, sure. Of course we can." Rowan said.

Rowan and I exchange small smiles at each other. He and I shares a kiss and gently holds each other's hands on the booth table.
