I walked out my third class for the day with Ava behind me, "do you think she's fine?" Ava asked looking worried "I hope she is because I already made her promise to call me if she needs anything," I answered her "she will be fine Dave" Ava said to me giving my tensed shoulder a squeeze as we stopped in front of my next class with Mils waiting for me outside "I will be in the next door and after this class is lunch, we can go out for lunch with Diamond just to take her mind off it." Ava suggested I and Mils nodded in acceptance and we departed we walking into our next class and she walking into hers. We are twenty minutes into class when the teacher's phone rang, he excused himself to pick it up and phone beeps was heard from every corner of the classroom so much for the instruction of switching all gargets off before entering class, the teacher walked back into the class in shock as he looked around the classroom trying to find someone I guess once his eyes landed on me, he looked beside me to see Mils "Mr. Marshall, where is your sister?" he asked "she is in our room sir, is there any problem?" I said to him noticing his discomfort "the headmaster said she isn't picking your parents call and that you should make sure she doesn't check her social media accounts," he said looking at me pleadingly.
I looked round the classroom to see the students on their phone with different expressions on their faces, I looked at Mils who was seated beside me to see tears rolling down her cheeks with her phone in her hand, I picked up my phone to check what was making her cry but the door of the classroom was slammed opened with Lucia and Ava running into the classroom "please, don't check it Dave" Ava pleaded also having tears in her eyes also I looked at the three of them and unlocked my phone, I opened Instagram first to see different videos of the hallway incident playing with million views already but the comments sections was the worst with different names used to qualify my sister, I opened her own profile to see the same thing which made my heart stop beating but before I could do anything my phone rang and I saw dad as the caller which I picked immediately Uncle Lulu entered the classroom with Justin and the guys behind him.
Me: hello dad
Dad: sweetheart, Dave picked up
Mom: baby, where is your sister?
Me: she is asleep in the room
Dad: whatever you do make sure she doesn't pick up her phone
I was very appreciative to them for wanting to help her in her times of need, "thank you very much guys but she is missing and we are certain she is still within the school grounds, but we need more eyes to help search for her," Lulu said to them "we would love to help sir," a guy said and everyone nodded their heads in agreement to help that's how the search for my twin sister started with I, Mils and Lucia taking the Library building, I noticed some teachers and securities also joining the search and her name can be heard been called in every corners and buildings everyone having their phones in hand in case she is found.
{AVA'S POV}
I was scared out of my mind with different possibilities playing in my brain, what if she was taken, but by who? What if she is hurt? She is too innocent for this stupid world but she doesn't think so, ever since she made her way into our group, I have been extra protective of her and more protective when the incident of Texas happened and I can say the same thing about everyone, seeing more students coming up to help comfort her made me happy that she had people out there ready to fight her battles with her no matter what is been thrown at her. I, Justin and a girl I found out her name is Miranda decided to go search for Diamond together in our building with some securities and teachers joining us, we searched every classroom and recess rooms but she wasn't found "Miranda and I will search the bathrooms," I said to the securities who were standing outside the only place left to be search which is the bathroom "she has never been in there before, do you think she will be here." Justin asked and it was obvious he was getting scared so was I and everyone in this search "only one way to find out" I replied him as I pushed the door opened and Miranda stepped in after me.
