Read Online Confessions of a Serial Alibi by Asia McClain Chapman - Free Book Online Page B

least you’ll know who your real friends and new friends should be. [those being supportive] Also, you’re the most popular guy in school. Shoot...you might get prom king. [assuming he would be released soon and everyone would know who he is because of all the gossip—it’s a joke]
     
    You’ll be happy to know that the gossip is dead for your associates, [people who don’t know Adnan well] starting to get old. [my opinion of the repetitive nature of high school gossip and how quickly the talk gets old when there is no new information] Your real friends are concentrated on you and your defense. [not referring to myself, rather his crutches] I want you to know that I’m missing the instructions of Mrs. Ogle’s CIP class, writing this letter. [Wrote it during class and made a decision to keep it in the final draft because I thought it sounded cool for some weird reason. Dumb, I know.]
     
    It’s weird, since I realized that I saw you in the public library that day, you’ve been on my mind. The conversation that we had, has been on my mind. Everything was cool that day, maybe if I would have stayed with you or something this entire situation could have been avoided. [wondering if I had stayed at the library longer I could have served as a potential alibi, not realizing that I was his alibi] Did you cut school that day? Someone told me that you cut school to play video games at someone’s house. [rumor] Is that what you told the police? This entire case puzzles me, you see I have an analytical mind. I want to be a criminal psychologist for the FBI one day. I don’t understand how it took the police three weeks to find Hae’s car, if it was found in the same park. [rumored] I don’t understand how you would even know about Leakin Park [I didn’t even know where Leakin Park was until 2016] or how the police expect you to follow Hae in your car, kill her and take her car to Leakin Park, dig a grave and find you way back home. [speculation based on rumors] As well how come you don’t have any markings on your body from Hae’s struggle. [My classmates and I discussed this and then asked one another if we remembered Adnan having any abnormal markings in the last few weeks. No one did.] I know that if I was her, I would have struggled. [Adnan would have been hurt if I was the victim. I would have fought back. I think Hae would have, too.] I guess that’s where the SO-CALLED witnesses [not sure if there were really witnesses or if that was just a rumor] . White girl Stacie [not a friend of mine] just mentioned that she thinks you did it. Something about your fibers on Hae’s body... something like that (evidence) [one of the many rumors floating around school] . I don’t mean to make you upset talking about it...if I am. [telling him that he is a topic of gossip] I just thought that maybe you should know. [so that he would be prepared for all the rumors when he came back] Anyway I have to go to third period [the bell had rung and I needed to report to co-op before leaving school for the day] . I’ll write you again. Maybe tomorrow. [never did write again]
     
    Hope this letter brightens your day... Your Friend,
    Asia R. McClain
     
    P.S: Your brother said that he going to tell you to maybe call me, it’s not necessary, save the phone call for your family. [I still wanted Adnan to contact me but I was attempting to be considerate of the fact that his phone calls may have been limited in prison] You could attempt to write back though. So I can tell everyone how you’re doing (and so I’ll know too).

    Apparently a whole bunch of girl were crying for you at the jail. [It was rumored that a bunch of girls were so upset that they actually tried to visit him in jail but were denied visitation] Big Playa Playa (ha ha ha he he he). [just trying to be funny]
     
    My Original Affidavit
     
    As much as it shames me to admit this, in the months after Adnan’s arrest, our student life simply
