Impossible These personal remarks and Insights denote a deep knowledge of adioal held, How could someone like Bonnie write them down?”
Jordynn compared the handwriting of the remarks with the name written on the cover of the medical journal. “The handwriting matches. Did Bonnie seriously write these herself?”
Her head was full of suspicion and disbelief as she set aside the medical journal and picked up the blue file.
“Now, let’s see what this is.”
“Latest Nanomaterial Augmentation Research?” she read it aloud and then muttered,
What the heck?”
She was dazed and astounded as her hands began to tremble. She gulped and opened the file, unsure of what she would find. At that moment, she heard footsteps outside the
lecture hall.
“Shit! Someone’s coming!‘
Jordynn looked left and right, then decided to duck behind the podium. The footsteps drew closer, and someone entered the lecture hall. The person said to herself, “I think that’s
Bonnie’s seat.”
‘Huh, why does that voice sound so familiar?‘ Jordynn had a good idea who it was. She poked her head out and checked, thinking, ‘It’s Trina! What’s she doing here? She
mentioned Bonnie’s name, too.”
Jordynn
in continued to spy on Trina as the latter found a necklace in another student’s bag
and stuffed it into Bonnie’s.
Jordynn realized Trina was trying to set Bonnie up.
‘Jeez, I never thought Trina would do something like that. She always looks so innocent
and harmless. Wait a minute. I heard rumors that Bonnie loves picking on Trina. It seems I
was a fool to believe that. Those rumors are unfounded.”
Jordynn thought perhaps that was a good reason why Ivor loved Bonnie so much.
However, it was all just circumstantial evidence, and Jordynn wanted to keep monitoring.
Bonnie to find out the truth.
Once the physical education class ended, Bonnie and her classmates retumed to the lecture hall, One of the classmates, Rene, nervously ruffled through her bag, forehead covered in sweat.
Huh? Where is it? I remember keeping my necklace in my bag before PE. Where’d it go?”
Natalee, the classmate beside her, said, “Did you put it in your pocket instead?”
“No, my grandma gave it to me as a gift for getting into this university. It’s an expensive necklace, too.”
“Keep searching. Maybe you left it somewhere on you and forgot about it.”
Rene turned out all her pockets, but the necklace wasn’t there. She grew so worried that she was on the verge of tears. “Oh, man! That necklace costs nearly ten grand. My life is over if my family finds out I lost it.”
Natalee noticed the other students leaving and exclaimed, “Hey, guys! Rene misplaced her necklace. Someone in this hall must’ve stolen it. Still, I’m not accusing anyone. I’m just saying there’s a thief among us.”
Rene sobbed, “I–I’m sorry, everyone. Please stay here for a while. My necklace means the. world to me. I can’t afford to lose it.”
The class representative said, “If anyone finds a necklace on the ground, please return it to Rene immediately.”
