"Aaaaaaah!" screams a girl. Anna arrives as soon as she hears the scream and then Anna says "ALICE!" She then saw blood dripping onto the floor. Anna's eyes became watery and water droplets landed straight onto the blood. Anna then saw three boys, one of them had a ripped shirt, the second one had blood on his shirt and the last one had a knife filled with blood. Anna called the police to clear everything and to know who the real murderer was. Who killed Alice and was it for revenge?
" I want this Ipad please give it," says Alice
"I'm so sorry I don't have enough pocket money," says Anna
Anna waking up with fear on her face trying to contact Alice but forgets that she is no longer in this world. Tears are screaming, screaming for someone to help its owner to forget Anna and live life without her. Anna and Alice were really close friends and sometimes people called them sisters, but Alice was a bit different to Anna. Alice used to steal things because her parents never brought anything useless, but Anna never did a thing like this, not even once. Alice started doing this when her teacher once told her " if you can't get it by words steal it" and that means if you like something and that person doesn't give it to borrow steal it, and after that, she started stealing things. Anna knew that Alice used to steal but she couldn't stop her, she used to tell her off and used to give lectures but Alice never cared.
One day Alice went shopping for new things and wanted that bag it was shining like a star with lots of glitter. Alice thought that if she had that bag people would be so jealous and would want to be friends with her, but didn't have enough money to buy it. Then three boys came to the store and Alice saw their wallets in the back pocket of the ripped genes. She then stole it and hid until they left. After one of the boys realised that their wallets is not with them and went back to that shop and wanted to see the CCTV footage. The same day Alice and Anna were going to the park at 5 but then Alice came an hour earlier to be in peace. That day the three boys came for revenge and one of them held the arms and the other one killed him. The last one was trying to help control Alice. Anna then came and saw everything happening after that.
Then the police started investigating and also took statements of the three boys and the shopkeeper that showed the CCTV footage. The police found out everything and told Anna so that she can explain everything to Alice's mother. The police also gave 20 years of jail since they killed the girl instead of reporting it to the police.
