just showed her posing at a McDonaldâs kiosk.
âOkay, at least we know she likes fast food,â I remarked. âWhich is rare for a 40-year-old.â
âWhat if we click on the other albums and pictures, no?â Mundi suggested.
âYeah,â Janice agreed. âLetâs do that.â
Her other pictures were not captivating either. In fact, most of them were of her standing in front of tourist attractions. The zoo, in Marina Bay Sands, in Resorts World, Universal Studios.
âShe is as boring as I thought,â Clandestino groaned. He scratched himself red in impatience. âSee, thereâs nothing here!â
âOooh⦠Oooh⦠I know!â Janice exclaimed. âCheck the comments under her pictures!â
We moused over the comments and we noticed something strange.
âNice shot, Bluefox,â a friend commented.
âWhere to meet for art group, Bluefox?â another asked.
âShe has another name â Bluefox!â Janice concluded.
âWait, wait,â Mundi said. âLetâs check out her About and Likes pages.â
Clandestino clicked on Likes.
To our surprise, Genevieve Teo did in fact have a long list of Likes. What was more unbelievable was that all of them had nothing to do with school and everything to do with ART!
She had liked: deviantART, artnet, ARTINFO, Artcyclopedia, TheArtsmap⦠so on and so forth.
âMy goodness!â Janice gasped. âMiss Teo is an ARTIST!â
âHold your horses, no, Janice, we have to check to confirm this,â Mundi reminded. He scrolled over the various website links one by one and thought carefully about which one to check out.
âLetâs just do all!â Clandestino said. âWe have time.â
Janice clicked on deviantART and searched Bluefox. There were a few people who had Bluefox as their profile names. But one painting belonging to one Bluefox stood out. It portrayed caricatures of children and adults, and all of them looked strangely familiar!
âLetâs click on that painting, no?â Mundi pointed to the painting of caricatures.
When Clandestino clicked on it, our hair stood on end; it was a caricature of Mr Grosse and Madam Siti.
âHahaha,â Clandestino laughed. He was tickled pink. The painting was funny and yet worrying. Mr Grosse had metal studs all over his face, on his nose, ears and eyes. Madam Siti was in her traditional Malay costume and she was blown out of proportion! She was the fattest lady anyone had ever seen.
âGreat job!â someone called Rancidfan had commented.
âCool, you really do have talent, Bluefox!â another user called Angelfire commented.
She was a deviantART star! Many people commented freely on her uploaded artwork. All those who commented had weird names and funny hairdos.
âUsually, criminals have more than one name, so they can confuse people with their multiple identities,â I said.
âLook, there are some caricatures of children wearing our school uniform, with the red tie,â Janice noticed.
âYes, she could very well be the vandal and arsonist.â
âLook at her artwork. It is very similar to the painting on the wall. Look at the style and the colours,â Mundi added. âThey are so similar to the graffiti outside the main office. No?â
It was true. Everything seemed to match â the colours, the style and the way the letters slanted to the left (typical of some lefties).
We clicked and clicked and clicked and we saw more of Miss Teo, Genevieve Teo and Bluefox in all her drawings. They were very clear and distinct. Most of her drawings, although funny, screamed rage, sadness, anger and horror.
âThis doesnât seem like Miss Teo at all,â Janice lamented. Deep down all of us were disappointed that we had to see the ugly side of Miss Teo. She was one of our favourites in school.
Mundi let out a heavy sigh. âShe was just so nice to
