6 Chapter 4

'So, we are all gathered to celebrate the death of that stupid idiot, Jessalyn. As the leader and the most powerful of the group, after Jessalyn and the currently absent Brooklyn, I, Noelle Ching, will give you all a toast. To us, class P456. May we have prosperity and peace after so long. CHEERS!!' Noelle screamed. The others, including Natalie, repeated. 'KANPAI!!!!!!!!!!! (CHEERS!!) They screamed and drank either apple juice or cola from their cups. 'Drink, Ching Ching,' Hissed Natalie. Emily drank her paper cup of coca cola. 'Why are you all so happy?' She asked. 'Wait... Your sister looks familiar. Is she... the famous television star 瑤瑤姐(Yiu Yiu Jie)???? Wait??? Is she??? Why didn't you tell me??'

Natalie sighed, and thought about her past...

*flashback*

'Onee-chan!!' Natalie shouted as soon her sister had returned home from school. 'Hi, Nat,' the 8 year old Noelle put down her school bag. 'We're going to try out for SETS today. Have you practiced your routine?' Noelle then said with a serious expression on her face. 'Okay!! I'll try my best!!'

TIME SKIP...

'Both of you got in to SETS just like your cousin. I'm so proud of you both. Right, Nicole?' Mrs Ching said while fondling the newest addition to the family- a baby girl whom they named Nicole. 'Hai!! Thanks mama. I promise to work hard and make my family proud of me!' Natalie said, happy. 'Thank you. If you excuse me, I'll go back to my room,' Noelle said, and went back to her room. What happened to ka jie (older sister)?? She used to be energetic. Doing homework? I'll just leave her alone, I guess. The 5 year old Natalie thought. She was still naive and childish and did not understand sadness.

TIME SKIP...

'Noelle Ching, congratulations for making it to the one of the best classes in the entire Hong Kong. Please tell me if you have any difficulties because you're competing against girls 3 years your senior. Okay?' Miss Tana said to Noelle. 'Okay. Thanks Miss Tana.' Noelle replied and went to class. 'Ha!! That's a baby. What's a baby doing in our class, huh?' A group of big girls laughed. Noelle was shorter than most children her age, and even though she wore glasses, you can easily mistake her for a 7 or an 8 year old. 'I'm ten...' Noelle whispered. 'You're ten? What's a ten year old doing in a class that's supposed to be for 12 year olds? Get out here!!' A girl with a ponytail, obviously the leader, teased, no bullied the newcomer girl. 'Yeah, Jessalyn. 給我們滾!!! (Beat it, kid. Get out and leave us alone!!)' The girls all chorused.

However, 5 year old Natalie saw everything...

TIME SKIP...

As time passed, Noelle used her skill, tactics and intelligence to beat the other kids, making it to the top class and become the head prefect of Happy Valley Public Primary School soon after. The other kids learnt to respect her and stopped bullying her, some of them even offered to be friends with her. Except Jessalyn, of course. Since she made it to the national television as an aspiring star, Jessalyn's jealousy grew. Luckily, Noelle's unit partner, Luna, helped confront Jessalyn and report her to the school. Jessalyn then turned her bullying target to Noelle's younger sisters, Natalie and Nicole, who were still inexperienced.

The Ching siblings hated Jessalyn, and would do anything to get their revenge.

*Flashback ended*

Then... Could Noelle or Natalie killed Jessalyn, or had took part in the murder??

Emily decided to secretly investigate this case, for Noelle and Natalie might be the main suspects.

So, she decided to go back to the girls' bathroom, her hand holding a pen and some paper from a useless exercise book, to where the body lay, and started to draw a picture of the crime scene...
