This is a bad idea.

This is a very bad idea.

Oh, well. You only live once.

I slowly climb into the boot of the car and shut it. Thank God I'm not claustrophobic or I would be dead by now. I take slow, deep breaths and put a hand over my mouth to stop myself from making any noise.

Once I hear footsteps, my heart races faster than Usain Bolt. I tightly shut my eyes and cover my mouth.

Why am I doing this again?

Oh right, cause I'm stupid and like getting myself in trouble. Don't I have college tomorrow?

Oh, fuck.

I suddenly remember that tomorrow's the first day of college and it's already 10 pm. Shit. Shit. Shit.
I want to get out of the car but I hear everyone get in and the engine roar to life.

Fuck, get me out of here.

Rina is going to kill me if I miss tomorrow.

I hear Felix's voice right beside me. I stop breathing and clutch the side as the car goes over a speed breaker.
My back fucking hurts.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

"What did Tyril even say to her?" He asks. I hear Bianca clear her throat before speaking.
"Probably something about trying to mend their broken ties. She's an emotional one"

So Roxy and Tyril did have something going on. I shouldn't be eavesdropping, but I'm nosy.

"Diesel is not gonna be happy about this" Felix snorts, hitting the seat so hard that I feel vibrations under my hand.
Who's Diesel? God, I really shouldn't know this stuff.

"Well, he always says that duty comes before love, so he's gonna have to compromise" Bianca says.

My silent brute remains silent, as always.

"The MPC is a very strange place to take someone on a date" Felix remarks. I finally hear Zane's voice as he speaks.

"You're stupid if you think a date is what he really has in mind" Nerdy, smart statements, as always. Bianca hmms and replies "True. Tyril is not one to get involved with women".

Felix laughs "And how do you know that?"
"Personal experience. Tyril may not, but Mal is"

I still, my heart jumping to my throat. My entire body is drenched in sweat and I'm pretty sure my dress is ruined, but at this moment, I don't care. They're speaking about Mal.

"Wait, what?" Felix asks, confusion lacing his rich voice.
"You know Astraea's friend? Rina?"

I swear to God I forget how to breathe for a minute. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
I listen closely.

"Well, yeah?"
"We all know that they met Mal, but you know why?"

Do they know that we met Mal? Why are we still alive then?
