Chapter 29

°Fynn (tw)

I'm a little nervous about the meeting with the papergirl this afternoon. We agreed to do a picnic in the nature and I think that's a good idea.

I had to bribe Theo with a week of ice cream for breakfast, because he had a full-on tantrum after I told him that he has to stay longer in kindergarten again.

It was a though task when I told him on Friday but it was even harder today.

Before I can think about it further, Aiden bumps into me.

"I heard from Lenox that you volunteered to partner up with Harriet on Friday. What's wrong with you, man? Since when are you two best friends?"

"Can you let it go?" I'm starting to notice how annoying Aiden is about the whole Harriet thing.

"No, we have a bro code."

"We don't? Can't you leave her and me alone with this shit?"

"WTF, bro?"

I give him an annoyed glare, but for Aiden the conversation isn't over.

"I got an idea. I stole some sleeping pills from my mom. We will put it in her drink, then she will sleep through the whole last period and gets detention. Doesn't that sound fun?"

"When you talk, do you listen to yourself? Because I only hear stupid things at the moment."

I look at Ethan who walks with us to the cafeteria. I don't know if I imagined it but it seemed like he had a smirk on his face for a second.

"Can you tell this idiot that his idea is crazy." I say to Ethan.

He looks at Aiden and just shrugs, which puts a smile on Aiden's face.

Lol?

I thought Ethan and Harriet have a thing why would he want that for her

"Don't do it!" I say and begin to walk faster to catch Harriet before Aiden does.

I look around the cafeteria but don't see her neither at the food counter nor at our regular sitting spot. I leave the room on the other side hoping to catch her in the hallway.

I pull out my phone.

Me:

Don't drink from your bottle

My message only gets one arrow.

°Ethan

I've been watching Harriet the whole last period. Aiden managed to put two pills in her bottle and I haven't seen or heard from Fynn since our talk.

I assume he didn't find her and so she doesn't know what's going on. But she still didn't drink from it.

When Aiden told us about his plan, I almost exploded with joy.

The bell rings and everyone packs their things.

My whole attention is on her now

Ever since Bella became my girlfriend, I had to neglect Harriet for a while to create an alibi.

I was afraid that Harriet would notice or Bella would tell her and the bond I tried to form would fade, but apparently the two are not as good friends as I thought.

She walks through the entrance of the school and I'm already searching for my car keys. But she doesn't turn left to go to the parking lot. She turns right instead.
