SUCKER PUNCH 🛶 PACEY WITTER [book one]

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

SEX, SHE WROTE
...🛶...

DESPITE the raging downpour outside, Heather lowered her umbrella and made her way through the quiet halls of Capeside High to meet the mystery man. She reached the door to Mr. Peterson's classroom, finding a familiar boy pacing "Jack? What are you doing here?"

"I got an invitation, taped to my locker." He held it "It says 'your presence is requested in Mr. Peterson's room, 7pm. I have something very valuable that may belong to you'."

Heather sighed "Yeah, I got the exact same invitation."

"Me too." Jen chirped as she followed the girl inside.

The door opened once again and Jack was surprised at the sight of his sister "Andie?"

"Jack?" Her eyes widened when she spotted him standing beside Heather "W-what are you guys doing here?"

The McPhee boy held up his invitation just as Pacey entered the room, closely followed by Joey "I see you all got the mysterious summons, too. So what's going down? Is this some impractical joke or what?"

"That's what I wanna know." Joey grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest.

A sigh escaped Heather "You know, I have this horrible feeling I know exactly who's behind this."

"Who?" Dawson questioned his sister as he entered the room in confusion "Could you tell me what's going on?"

Heather was prevented from sharing her theory by the devil herself, Abby Morgan strutting in "Oh, look! All my favorite people gathered together in one room and I forgot my camera!"

Dawson sighed heavily "I should've known."

Abby merely laughed as Chris Wolfe followed her in, camcorder in hand "Oh, no I didn't!"

"Okay, Abby, what devious scheme have you hatched up this time?" Jen questioned in annoyance.

"All good things come to those who wait." Abby rebutted before smirking at the blonde "But you've never been very good at postponing pleasure, have you?"

Pacey rolled his eyes "Why did you bring us here Abby?"

"To take part in one of your Satanic rituals?" Heather jibed.

"Actually, it's my mystery project." Abby smirked as she held up a piece of paper "In my possession, I have a letter. A lost letter. That was written by one of you in this room to another one of you in this room. Stop me if you've heard this before. 'I wanted to say this in person but I couldn't bring myself to face you, so I'm sorry it has to be this way. The truth is, I'm just not ready to be in a relationship with you. It's too much too fast. Relationships should be easy, the concept of sex should be easy. But being with you... it's too hard'."
