It was the next evening, Alaina stayed home from college. After all that happened at the cemetery and the whole police station, interrogation experiences, Alaina wasn't sure if she could bear another day at college when people were already so awful towards her and now the arrest would only give flame to the already burning fire. Her mental as well as physical capabilities gave away and she chose to stay home.
Her uncle who would usually give her supportive and motivational speeches about strength and facing obstacle head on and never to give up, also decided it be best if she doesn't go out much until matters with the police settles down.
