Ever since the murder and the supposed murder of his teacher and the girl he hated he hasn’t done what he does best … He actually returned home, but he avoided his step father. Like Reece thought his stepfather didn’t really check on him much, but he did hear him walking up and down the hall just outside his room as if he wanted to enter but didn’t know what to say. He has entered his room with a tea which he layed on the table while Reece was under the covers believeing his life would fall apart because he’d be the main suspect considering he just argue with the murder victim a few days ago and he’s still angry with her. What Reece didn’t know is that Richard, knowing the boy doens’t like him, thought it best to call his mother and have her comfort him, beleiveing him trying to do the same would yield negative results as the boy doesn’t trust him. She came home early, worried in this sudden change in behaviour and obvious notion something is very wrong and when she talked to Reece he told her about the murders. Since then he’s been sleeping in the house and Richard has made himself scarce knowing the boy needs alone time with his mother. He’s opted for staying in his old town for a week to oversee his business while he leaves his current cinema in the hands of his most trusty employee.
The day after Alissa had died, he recieved a text, alongside all the students it seemed as each cellphone dinger or vibrated at the same time.
He read the part about himself…
And instantly got nauseous from anxiety and fear. He was afraid of being prosecuted for something he didn’t do. He didn’t even realize the ANON, as they signed it, was just another Alissa, somebody who reports but takes no time to fact check anything they write about.
This constant finger pointing to him made Reece angry, but calling Alissa an angel made him seething with it. As the announcement came, he released the anger by shouting loudly “FOR F*CK’S SAKE!” before taking his backpack and heading for the principal’s. This probably startled everybody present and made him look like more of a murderer than he originally seemed like. He could only rely on Eric, Chase and his mother to believe him not to be the murderer. Oh and he also assumed Jenny doesn’t think he murdered Alissa because yes he was angry, but she’s seen him angrier with his stepfather before and nothing came of it.
can’t wait
