Chapter 67: alternative arrangements?

God. I'm writing this while watching the Heather's musical and it is fucking funny.

So much death, murder and high schooler suicide.

What's not to love?

Anyway, sorry for the late two chapters today.

Clay POV.

A day had passed, I'd worked hard overnight trying to keep up with the amount of work that George, Zak and Darryl had done. Today, Nick and Wilbur insisted on coming over to 'mine' to do work. If you could call whatever they were doing work.

I'm pretty sure they just wanted to see if all the rumours coming from people around the school about me being rich was true or not.
I, obviously, was trying to convince them to not come. The pair (plus Zak) had been ruining George's life since he was a kid, and having them come into his house while they still were bullying him didn't seem like the smartest idea.

Currently George, Darryl, Zak and I were all sitting in a corner in the library talking. They were trying to help me come up with reasons to not have them over, so far none seemed like they'd work.
Either way, Nick had approached me earlier to remind me that they were coming over, and that they'd just follow the Ferrari if I tried to avoid them.

That was pretty much the pair showing how desperately they wanted to see 'my' house.

Darryl piped up again, "what if you told them your house was getting renovated, so it would be too much of a mess to have guests over."
I shook my head, "that still doesn't matter, they said even if I came up with an excuse they'd just follow me home after school."
"Yeah they're a pair of big fucking pains in the ass to everyone around." George mumbled, earning a 'language' in response.

"Moving on from what George said," I continued, "I... Don't think we could find a way to stop them from coming over, they're like judgement day, not preventable."
"So we need an idea to stop them from coming to George's house?" Darryl said, as both a question and a statement.

I nodded and Zak spoke up, "if you wanted you could take them to my house. Say it's yours."
"What kind of house do you have again?" The brunette beside me asked.
"It's a small two bedroom flat." Zak explained.
"No good."
We all looked to George for an explanation, which he gave. "Clay drives a Ferrari too and from school every day, you don't have a 500,000 dollar car and live in a 200,000 dollar flat. It's just unreasonable. Plus, wouldn't Nick and Wilbur have come to your house, at least once or twice while you were friends?"
"Fair point." Zak agreed, sitting up straighter and beginning to brainstorm another idea.

"My house is bigger than Geppy's." The green-eyed boy said, pushing his glasses further up his nose. "It was about the same price as your car."
All of us looked over to George again, expecting him to point out a flaw to Darryl's suggestion, which he quickly did. "What will you do about Rat?" He asked, looking over so his eyes met Darryl's.
"Well we could go get Rat before Clay, Wilbur and Nick arrive, maybe Clay can stall them long enough."

I seemed satisfied with that answer, so did Zak, but George still had more picking apart of the plan to do. "We've all been to your house and there are pictures of you with Rat and your family everywhere. What about all of those?"
Holy shit, when did George start focusing on this so much. It seems likes he's become a detective. Or, more accurately, a crook, and he needs to cover up a murder before the cops come.

Darryl thought for a moment, his green eyes twinkling as he did before answering. "I doubt they'll go into most of the rooms, as long as we remove all my photos from the kitchen, living room and hallway then we should be fine."
George shrugged and seemingly accepted his answer. Then he noticed something else, "Rat's white, so all of her fur will be easily visible. They'll easily notice it and wonder why there's dog fur and no dog."

Oh my god it's like he wants Nick and Wilbur to come to his actual house.

"What the hell do you want us to do then George!" I was just getting really annoyed. The Brit greatly overestimates Wilbur and Nick's intelligence.
The entire groups eyes widened in suprise, I barely ever lost my tone like that with anyone, especially George. I glanced away, partially in shame as I took several slow, deep breaths to calm myself before turning back.

"Sorry" I muttered quietly, "but I don't think we need to put this much effort into making them think I live in Darryl and Zak's houses."
Zak spoke up, it was something he and Darryl had both been thinking but only now decided to speak up about, "I honestly, don't think it will matter if we got them to come to your house as it is. As long as Clay could keep them well away from us three I don't see the problem in having them come to George's house."

He looked to us expecting to get an annoyed reaction but seemed surprised when he didn't get one.
"I suppose that you're right Zak." George said warily, not meeting the ravenette's eyes. "There'll probably be problems wherever we try to go. With less than two hours of school there's not much that we can do, plus I have a big space or we could just all go to yours or Darryl's."
"What can I say, I'm just smarter than all three of you combined" Zak shrugged his shoulders and gave a cocky smile.

"Geppy!"
The ravenette was hit on his shoulder and he looked to his boyfriend beside him apologetically, "sorry. I meant those 2, you're smarter than me."
He kissed Darryl lightly on the forehead, and if the library wasn't empty I'm pretty sure it would have been highly noticeable.

✨Time skip✨

I gave a small wave to my three friends as they climbed into Zak's car again and turned to see Nick and Wilbur waiting by their car which had been parked directly beside mine. After taking a moment to cover my disgruntled expression I approached them.

"Are you guys ready to see my house then?" I struggled to suppress a sigh.
"Yes we are" Wilbur replied with a sly smile.
"Cool. Just follow me to my house I guess." I climbed into my car and they followed me as I drove down the road.

I may not have precognition but I knew this was going to go bad.
