Brutal (H.S.)

Ch.7

I turned down the road that were surrounded by trees and and the longer I drove the more it felt like driving through a forest and then I also thought about how we had been invited in the first place and knew this was important.

"Wait if this banquet is important then how did we get invited?"

"Because just like school here we're supposed to be dating."

I wanted to say something and I knew now why he had put us together because out of all us we were the only ones who were comfortable enough to pull of a fake relationship for the sake of some information. I kept driving and my mind was juggling a million questions with each seconds that was passing. "Why? Aren't I suppose to be persuading Mathew? And not you?"

"This cover isn't suppose to be permanent. That's why I wanted you to dress more lady like because it's like a small gathering except with wealthier people."

"You could have told me that instead of making it sound like what I was wearing seemed repulsive."

"I said it was important didn't I?"

"Ugh. So what now am I going to do?'

"Work with what you have?" He said not sounding too sure. "Take a right."

I pulled into another drive way and then met this huge golden gate with someone in a uniform who clicked some numbers into the a key pad and then the gates opened and we continued to drive in. "Their going to just let us in?"

"He works with us."

"Oh."

I kept driving and finally we stopped at this huge house that had a stereotypical white picket fence to match the color of the paint on the house. There were a whole bunch of bushes shaped into different types of animals and a flower garden off to the side that looked it lead to a back yard. On the way here I had noticed cars were parked making a huge line but didn't see people on the outside. I stopped the van not knowing what else to do. Harry grabbed the bag he threw into the back and dug into pulling out two ear pieces.

"Here just in case something goes wrong."

I put the small device in my ear getting flash backs to the first time we all had to rob a store as a small test to show whether or not we could be sneaky and still get away with it and we did which had given us a reward of a free weekend to ourselves. During this time our rewards were small but given we were still new to everything I felt we deserved more than we were rewarded with.

"Make sure your hair covers it so they won't see."

"How are you going to cover yours?"

"I won't need to."

I gave him a befuddled look "Why?"

"Because they won't be paying attention to me."

"I guess that makes sense."

I was still confused about the plan but I didn't want to ask any stupid questions or make the assignment anymore complicated but I was also being tied between also not wanting to accidentally mess something up by being stubborn and not asking any questions at all but you know me I can't hold back when it comes to my curiosity.

"So explain it to me one more time."

He pushed back his hair and gave me a look of annoyance and I honestly didn't expect anything less from him "Did you not just listen to a word I said?"

"I'm just making sure I don't mess anything up."

"What the fucks that suppose to mean?"

"What?"
