A three way conversation Sophie Lovelock
Carmen
I’ve only been back at school for 4 days and more gossip is going round ‘I can’t believe he cheated’.‘I heard their breaking up’ It’s like the scandals get bigger everyday. ‘Hey whatcha doing?’ I look up from my flashing phone screen and meet Louis’ eyes .So do you wanna hang out after school today or what .’ I watch as he stuffs his face with another chocolate sprinkled donut. ‘ I’m busy.’ I reply On an average day I wouldn’t be so blunt but I am actually busy today and if he asks I’m not going to tell him why . Louis shrugs and brushes the doughnut crumbs from around his mouth . ‘ Okay but don’t tell me I didn’t ask.’ when he turns away I roll my eyes. Why does he have to be like that? ‘What’s up with you anyway?’ Uh, I was hoping to avoid this. Was it Mr Cohen’s test ? Because I heard that was pretty hard, was it? …’ I try to avoid his questioning gaze and start walking away, but his questions keep coming and each time I reply with a blank ‘no’ They don’t stop until we get to the canteen. We both go silent.

Matt
For the first time in Greenville history everyone was silent . I mean, don’t get me wrong, silence is nice, but this was weird - silence. I glanced over at Abby , this is the first time I’d seen her since summer . ‘Matt’ and just like that I was snapped back into reality . I looked over ‘What luca?’ ‘ How do you think he’s gonna react to this? Did you tell anyone ?’ ‘No, of course not.’ At least I think I didn’t. Canteen tv : “A local girl has died aged 14 , Kristen Hudson was reported missing on Sunday. Her body has been found in a local quarry by Paul Hastings, her father . Our thoughts go out to her parents and relatives. Our newest suspect is Isla Hastings, one of her close friends . If you know anything please contact the police”.
Abby
Wow, I mean I knew Kristin, she was my neighbour for a couple of years . There is something suspicious about this, Isla couldn’t have done it. She is one of the nicest people I know . lt doesn’t make sense. I was deep in thought when I heard something from behind . ‘How do you think he’s gonna react to this..? Did yo-’ Well I know what I need to find out now. Why is Luca talking to Max ? Who is he and is the supposed accident actually murder ?
