The Dropped Note: Part 4

The saga continues! I’m posting this for LIZA who has one answer to where Amanda may have been running, at least the day she got the note.  And by the way, she HAS been back to school since she got this creepy note.  So whatever it was, it did not send her away for good, or not right then.

LIZA - 

My mom works at the Bank of Orion downtown and I remember her asking me that day if I knew anyone at school who dressed like Uma Thurman’s character from Pulp Fiction. She thought it was strange someone my age wouldn’t be at school at 1:30 PM, especially on the day of a pep rally. I a) kindly reminded her that she wouldn’t let me see Pulp Fiction and b) told her that no, nobody at school looked like that.

I’m like Tai – I didn’t know Amanda before she disappeared. But from what I’ve heard about her since she vanished and what people have posted on the website…
 

…this has got to be the same girl, right?

    I think it has to be! Who else would be wandering around during a pep rally? But, it seems like Amanda is everywhere. Her clothing sounds like her; she always liked to wear bizarre things. Like how she cut her hair the day before and the next day she wore a wig.

    But, what would she be doing there?

    • Rosie

      Well that note sounded pretty threatening, if I was her, I’d be at the bank to withdraw money and run. Like the person who wrote the note told me to…

        it’s hard to tell if it’s amanda, becauese she always dresses differently and can some times wear a wig…

        • kayleigh

          To me it sounds like her because she always stands out to every one because of her unique clothing. Plus Amanda doesnt seem like the pep rally type.

            Oh dear, this is indeed getting a little spooky. I don’t know if this particular young lady is Amanda, but I do know that Amanda owned a similar black wig. She wore it to my Home Ec elective last Fall (when she still bothered showing up at least a few times a week). I don’t know who this Uma character is, but when Amanda walked into my class (late) wearing that wig I said, “Well, it looks as if Cleopatra herself has decided to grace us with her presence.” Amanda just smiled that radiating smile of hers, and said, “The way to prevent war is to be ready for it!” So odd, that child. I don’t know if that helps at all, just wanted to offer my two cents. Liza’s grandmother, Mrs. Mary Lewis, and I are good friends, and when Liza’s mother Jeanne told Mary about the happening at the bank and about this website you all set up, Mary told me. So here I am.

              maybe it is amanda, she might be withdrawing some money because the person who might be threatening her is asking amanda for money.

              • Liza

                Hey everybody, my mom was able to pull another image from a different camera at the bank (helps to bake brownies for the security guards!) and post it in Clues.  Check it out.  Do we think it is Amanda?

                • noraorchid

                  it is very possible that this is amanda….....i totally agree with you guys that ssid she might be getting money and running….........where was she in school and how was she acting….....??

                  • PhysicsNerd

                    That looks just like Amanda to me. She’s such a radical girl. Always changing everything and trying different crazy outfits and looks. Maybe those are disguises meant to ward off people that are after her?

                    • Tai

                      I am not so sure—that is not what she was wearing when she nearly knocked me over.  She had on one of her crazy old lady dresses and had a flowered Hibiscus thingie in her hair that day, typical weirdness. There are lots of strange girls in the world, I should know, I have sisters . . .

                      • dem_94

                        I can’t be sure if it’s Amanda or not. She was always dressing differently each day. Maybe she wore different clothes and hairstyles so someone tracking her tell properly identify her from a distance?

                        • Nia Rivera

                          Hey Liza - think there’s any way your mom could get us info on what Amanda/Uma was doing at the bank that day? I’m sure stuff on people’s account is super confidential, but it might help us to know if she was withdrawing money, depositing, how much, etc. I don’t know… just grasping at straws here.

                          • Kewpie83

                            Remember all those wigs Amanda would wear at school?  That girl could totally be her. 

                            I have an idea about the bank thing, but since it deals with someone’s personal information, I can’t really post it here.  If she wants to make it known, that is, if it even has anything to do with what I think it might, she’ll post.

                            • kimberly

                              I might have been Amanda because she, like many other teenagers, try to avoid pep rallys. But it’s hard to say because her other friends might dress like that as well. I think that if it were Amanda she would have been at the bank because, well, where else would she be if she were skipping…that doesn’t make very much sense. But Amanda is pretty scatterbrained so she never leaves home with wads of cash, she brings her card. so to be able to do anything she would have have to   of gotten money first, right?

                              • Shadoughes.

                                alright, what Amanda wears expresses how she feeling an who she is right?
                                so what does this outfit express? It would be a lot more helpful if it was in colour, if there’s a way to get that from someone that would be great,

                                • Rosie

                                  It IS in colour, the bank is just THAT dreary-looking. But I see where you’re going with this… It’s a tad blurry, but the outfit still screams anything BUT happy..

                                    has anyone eva thought that maybe she has a twin that acts/dresses and like the same things as her???

                                    you never know coz it could happen!!!

                                      hmmm..i dont know..amanda seems so ORIGINAL. it probably was her

                                        This girl who was at the bank reminds me of Penelope Taynt from The Amanda Show…

                                          Amanda was, is original. Weird, fearless, quirky, brilliant, and original.
                                          I had thought I had seen her near 3 near the train station, in ripped jeans and a black hoodie, and she had wavy blonde hair. So of course at first I didn’t think at all it was Amanda. Until I saw her face, that is. Haunted, scared, tortured which made me doubt. Amanda, scared? Everyone who knew her would reply, AS IF!
                                          But the expression. The same as when she got the note, almost.
                                          I must have been mistaken, unless she switched from one identity to another to escape the secret she thought was haunting her so much from that note.

                                            I think that this has to be Amanda. It seems like something she would do. Amanda would wear a wig like that, if she wanted to. If this is Amanda, maybe she was getting money because she knew that she would not be back (for ever, or for a little while).

                                              WAIT A MINUTE! If she was at the bank. Than maybe this was before she left the money for Callie! She probably went to the bank to get the money for Callie. Left it for her in her basement then now I don’t know where she is. -_-

                                              • stef_stone

                                                Yes…but did she leave the money for Nia and Hal too? Or just Callie?

                                                • Shadoughes.

                                                  Callie, is there a date attached to this?

                                                  • urban_hippie

                                                    Well, maybe she just left the money for Callie? Remember, it was exactly $2500. Also, didn’t Callie’s dad need the $2500 for the house?

                                                    • stef_stone

                                                      Yeah probably… I wonder how she knew to get that amount? Does anyone have any ideas?

                                                      • urban_hippie

                                                        Oh, because Callie told her that they would lose the house if they didn’t get that money soo yeah, that’s how Amanda knows.

                                                          • urban_hippie

                                                            I guess? I’m nor entirely convinced though.

                                                              Me neither…

                                                                That doesn’t make much sense to me. She gets this scary note during class then she dashes out and ends up going to the bank to withdraw money for Callie? I know Amanda is a good friend and nice too but I don’t think anyone who is that freaked out would think of doing something for friend in their moment of panic. Or am I missing something?
