The following week, Mr. Sanders had given his class the grades for the projects he had assigned earlier in the year. Given that David was no longer one of his students, he told Eli, River, Nadia, Payton and Jessica that he would split David's credits between them so as to complete the overall grade.

They had gone to the student hub after lunch to discuss end of academic year celebrations, when Jessica's phone started ringing on the table. She quickly cut the call and put her phone on silence, but it didn't stop there. It wasn't the first time this unknown number consistently rang her and the group was starting to get frustrated.

"Let me talk to them" Payton grabbed Jessica's phone and answered the call. "Hello?"

"Payton!" Jessica whisper-yelled at her friend

"Payton!" Jessica whisper-yelled at her friend. She saw Payton's face contort in confusion as the person on the other side of the line spoke.

The truth was as follows:

Take y'alls slow asses back to the locker incident...

Remember that? Alright.

So, after David and Hannah had been suspended, somebody had started contacting Jessica. The messages were simple, but disturbing, plus the way she would sometimes act nervous or hide her phone when she was with her friends didn't go unnoticed by them. Jessica had blocked that number but another one then started messaging and calling her.

Somehow, it got worse when the person on the phone found out that Jessica and Eli had broken things off, which was almost 6 weeks ago. That number kept messaging Jessica's phone saying that whoever was behind it, who they clarified were a girl, was sorry for coming between Jessica and Eli and that 'she' would do any and everything possible so they (Eli and the anonymous girl) could be together.

If y'all also remember, it was around that same time that a girl by the name of Aaliyah started talking to Eli and asking him to hang out almost every other day. For some reason, though, the group never mentioned it to Jessica.

What struck as the most chilling was that the person would always know exactly when she was with Eli or where the group was hanging out.

At first, Jessica didn't believe it, she thought it was just a joke. But then, how did this person get her phone number? How did they know her and Eli? Why exactly did they only start contacting Jessica right after Hannah and David got suspended? And why would they want to break the couple up? That didn't matter by now anyway, but I mean...

It was all weird and confusing from day one and Jessica paid it no mind, but as the messages got more specific, it downed on her that someone seriously wanted to mess things up (even more). Jessica never said anything to anyone until a couple of days ago, when they were in class and her phone kept ringing and pinging. Eli had snatched her phone away when she was using it and saw the messages she had been receiving on social media and from the mysterious number.
