Sayas pov
I was about to walk into class.
When I noticed Daniel and Henry, they were outside the classroom.
"There you two are!" I yelled, running to them.
I quickly looked at them.
Ok. No new scars. No tattoos.
"Hey, Ms.Phenoix," Henry said. "The retreat was a bust; all the activities were closed, so we just stayed in our room and watched old movies."

"Mr.Pearl pointed out all the inconsistencies in them," Daniel said.
Ok. That sounds like something Henry would do.
"What did the headmaster do?" I asked.
"Mostly stayed in the bar and talked to himself," Henry said. "It was sad."

Ok, that sounds like something Nikolai would do.
"Well, we should get to class," Daniel said. He was blushing slightly.
I entered the classroom with Henry and Daniel in tow.

But something was wrong.
Laurence wasn't there. That is odd. He's one of the good kids. He's here before me.
"Wheres Laurance?" I asked.
Everyone looked confused.
"I'll take that as a no, where's his dorm?" I asked. "I'll get him."

"Laurance doesn't stay in the dorms. He stays in an apartment with his adoptive dad," Simon said with no emotion.
"You don't talk about him like that," I yelled at him.
He just groaned.
He wrote down an address and gave it to me.

I left school and went to the address.
It was a tall building.
I walked into the lobby.
I saw a man with......a giant wart on his cheek.
"WHAT!" He yelled when he saw me.
"Uh, I'm here to see Laurance Star," I said. I went to focus on his face.
But that wart is so distracting. How did that even happen?
"GET OUT!" He yelled," I HATE PEOPLE!"
"Then....then why did you become a doorman?" I asked.
He then grabbed a smoothie off the desk and threw it at me.
I screamed and ran up the stairs.
I ran until I was on the eighth floor.
I found Laurance's apartment. 8-C.
I tried opening the door. But it was locked.
I knocked......
No answer.
I knocked on the door across the hall.
"What?" A woman with greying brown hair wearing an apron answered the door.
"Um, miss," I said," One of my students lives across from you, and he isn't answering the door."
"Uh, the comedian?" She groaned annoyed.
"Yeah," I said. "Do you know a second way in?"
"Yeah, the comedian's dad gave me a key so I could water their plants," She said, giving me a silver key.
"Thanks," I said. "What's your name, miss?"

"Marissa," Marrissa said, slamming the door.

Ok, rude.
I used the key, and it opened.

It was more of a loft than an apartment.

I smelled the faint smell of rosemary and cinnamon.
Also, running water?

I walked towards the source.
The bathroom.

I gently opened the door.

And then. A new nightmare greeted me.

In the overflowing bathtub was Laurance Star, the ultimate comedian.
His wrists were cut open, and the water had blood flowing in it.
His eyes had lost all light and happiness.
On a small table next to the tub. Was.........is that eggs Benedict?
It took me a second to realize I was screaming.

Then everything.......started going dark.

"Ms.Phenoix, wake up," I heard Henry say.
I wake up. I was on the couch in Laurance's apartment.
"What happened?" I asked him.
Maybe I just walked in on Laurance bathing, and I passed out.
"You fainted when you found the dead body." Henry said calmly. " You're squeamish, you know."
"Well, I'm not used too seeing dead bodies of people I care about," I said.
"Yeah, after you screamed. Mrs.Benson came in and discovered the body, and she called the police," Henry said," And they sent a car and me since I was close."

"So, figure out what happened?" I asked.
"Of course, it's simple," Henry said " It's suicide"

What?
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, we found a pocket knife in the tub with him," he said calmly. "Suicide is very likely"

Wait....something doesn't feel right.
Did Henry overlook something?
