Jennifer's POV

"Thanks again for handing back the notes! He's so lazy." Michelle sighs and I giggle nodding. "That's zach. Do you know how he did on his test?" I ask and she shakes her head. I munch into my taco and hum.

My phone dings and I can only imagine who.

Pine tree 🌲; How's lunch? Tummy still hurt?

M; Good and no not anymore those Tums helped!! Have you eaten? :((

I respond quickly and continue with Michelle.

Pine tree 🌲; yes.

J; WHATD YOU HAVE :D I got a taco with some chips 😌

Pine tree 🌲; food.

J; ...anything specific? C:

Pine tree 🌲; no.

J; :((

Pine tree 🌲 typing...

Nothing.

I'll know sooner or later!

Another ping is felt in my pocket once I sit down for Physiology.

Pine tree 🌲; I hope those tacos don't get your tummy. You better have eaten them slowly.

J; hehe you'll never know c;<

Pine tree 🌲; I will when I ask.

J; sureee hehehehehehhe

I turn my phone off and continue to start my notes for today.

"Hey girlie." Lolita hums next to me. I was in the library since our professor wasn't here today. "Oh hey L! What's up?" I smile turning to face her. "So there's this party... and I was wondering if you would like to come with Zach and mich?" She asks turning her gaze away. I cross my arms and tilt my head.

"I know you're interested in Zachery. I can get him to come." I shrug picking my pencil back up. She sighs and her posture loosens . "I'm sorry! I wasn't using you but I was too scared to ask.." she whispers and I hum. "It's okay. When is it?" I speak and she explains the whole shabang.

"We can all go shopping!" She beams and I nod. My body was still but I was excited. "Is this your first college party?" She asks and I shake my head. "I'm friends with Michelle! She loves taking me but I ever stay long. It's not for me but I go just for her." I explain and she nods happily. "Good! I'll talk to you later girlie." She waves off and I nod.

Party?

It's in 4 days.

I quickly call my group and they all answer.

"Hey jenny!" Sky teases and I huff at her. "Hey guys soo I need advice. Also a favor.." I pull at my shirt. "That is...?" Zenday hums. "I'm going to a college party and I'm really nervous!" I pout. They all gasp. "Awe! When is it?" Zenday asks and I smile softly. "4 days." And then on we planned some things.

I knew me and Michelle weren't going shopping because she hates it. And Lolita isn't the type to um... hang onto her word.

"Thanks guys." I sigh and they all coo at me. I quickly hang up as I walk home.

Me and Zenday had dinner and I quickly popped in the shower afterwards. "Hey Jenny! I'm going to the grocery story real quick." She says cracking the bathroom door and I say okay.

10 minutes.

I was in there for 10 minutes until I heard a loud knock on my door.

I tightly cover my body with the towel. My brothers taught me from mom. "Coming!" I yell slowly walking out so I don't slip. The floor wasn't carpet so...

I open the door peaking outside.
Flowers!!

I pick them up seeing a small note.

It won't be long, I promise, Chaton.

I slowly walk back inside to figure out what he means.

Marcel POV

5 hours earlier

"What do you mean?" I growl. "He's under the grid. You know he switches locations after day. He's probably around the waters." I hear.

  My phone buzzes and I see Jennifer's contact. I texted her a while ago...

"And that new "girl" of yours is going to get in the way." I hear. My eyes flicker up to the person who spoke. "Tavante." I speak. "Zabell! You brought her fucking over! What's wrong with you? You have more important things to do than hang with a dang female." He scoffs pacing.  "She can't get involved with this type of shit. She's not like Carmen." I quickly grip his neck.

"Shut the fuck up." I speak lowly. He struggles against my grip groaning. "Worry about your own business, yes?" I growl.

"Je vais te casser le cou. ne me teste pas." My voice was stern, strong, and assertive. His jaw clenched abs takes a deep breathe.

(I will fucking snap your neck. don't test me.)

  "pense juste à ce que tu fais avant de tout regretter à nouveau.." he speaks. My grip around his throat tightens and I bang his head against the door. "Stop being so tight about the truth! Zabell you know better." Tavante growls. "I don't care." I say dropping him. He gasps for air leaning against the door.

(just think whatever you're doing before you regret everything again.)

I rip my gun out pointing at him. "sors avant que je change d'avis." I warn cocking the gun. Tavantes head shakes and slowly walks out.

(Get out before I change my mind.)
