Mathew's mother got out of the car and frowned at the two boys who looked ready to get into a fight. At the sight of his mother, Mathew immediately took several steps back from Adrian. Adrian on the other hand did not move. He still glared at Mathew in a way that plainly said "I would like to kill you."
It was unnerving to me to see Adrian like that. The sweet kind Adrian who never raised his voice or got into an argument...I felt guilty too. If I hadn't been such a hopeless and foolish girl this would never have happened.
"What is going on here? Mathew? Were you seriously thinking of getting into a brawl?"
Mathew, for some reason, completely ignored his mother, and looked straight at Adrian. "I'm sorry. I was out of line."
For a moment, Adrian looked ready to argue but Maya caught his arm and swiftly dragged him away.
"Who was that boy Mathew? And why were you two..."
"Mom...It's fine. Just school stuff." He said and started to walk away.
For a moment, Mathew's mother stood there looking at Maya and Adrian who were further down the road.
"Mathew!" She called out swiftly to her son. "Is that the girl who found Ophelia's body on the road?"582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3pqKaGFvF
Mathew turned back. "Yes. Why?"
"No reason."
"Ophelia was dead when Maya found her." Mathew said firmly. "All she saw was the body of her dead friend."
"I wonder..."
Without another word she got into the car and drove away. I saw Mathew clench his fists and whisper something that sounded like "Damn it."
He quickly took his phone out and dialed first Maya and then Adrian.
To both of them he said the same thing.
"Come back immediately. We need to talk."
