Eclipse {Ravi Singh}

25

disclaimers: i dont own agggtm and i hate my life 😊😊

it had taken a while but they printed everything. every. single. thing. and now, on the carpet of pip and amariss room, they had a whole shit ton of papers.
"it’s not environmentally friendly," ravi begins, resting his chin on amaris shoulder as they look down at the paper filled carpet, "but i’ve always wanted to make a murder board."
"me too, and I’m well prepared, stationery wise." pip says pulling out a  bundle of red strings and a container of tumbtacks
"and you just happen to have red string ready to go?" ravi asks, standing up while amaris pins her hair back with a clip, after she had finished he went back to how he was.
"i have every colour of string." pip says watching the two with an amused smile as she grabs her corkboard and taking off the photos that were pinned on it.
"of course you do." ravi mumbles.
"hey, mari has a whole box full of string in a box under her bed."
"thats because i had a crochet phase, you however are just a weirdo." amaris defends.
"you can crochet?" ravi asks, tilting his head slightly so he could look up at her.
"mhm." she nods
"what cant you do, moon?"
"get good grades."
"stop that." ravi mumbles his fingertips brushing against her arm as his hands travel to hers, "could you make me, like, a little penguin stuffy?"
"if want." she says with a shrug as ravis hands slipped into hers.
"oh i want." ravi confirms with a wide smile.
"okay, can we get back to the murder board?" pip asks, slightly annoyed.
amaris nods and pulls away from ravi who groans and follows.
they sat on the floor pinning the papers to the board-- which resulted in amaris stabbing herself with the thumb tacks several times before she ultimately just gave up with them.so now she sat leaning against pips desk leg, her sock clad feet resting in ravis lap as she crocheted the penguin for him--- ravi and pip had just began to connect the red string when pips phone rang.
"hello?" pip question due to the unsaved number.
"hi, pip, it’s naomi." naomis voice came out of the speaker as pip and ravi continued working.
"hi. that’s weird: you’re not saved in my phone." pip replies
"oh, it’s ’cause i smashed mine, i’m using a temp until it’s fixed."
"oh yeah, cara said. what’s up?"
"i was at my friend’s house this weekend, so cara only just told me
about barns. i’m really sorry, pip. i hope you’re ok."
"not yet, i’ll get there."
"how's mari? i tried calling her but she didnt answer."
"uh, shes doing alot better than she was earlier." pip says with a small smile as she watches amaris and ravi laughing about something, paying no attention to pips conversation with naomi.
"okay good i was a little worried she was shutting herself up in a room or somthing."
"she was but um shes not now."

because of a certain singh boy.

"i know you may not want to think about this right now, but i found out my friend’s cousin studied english at cambridge. i thought maybe i could see if he’d email you about the exam and interview and stuff, if you wanted."
"actually, yeah, yes please, that would help. I’m a bit behind on my revision."
"ok, cool, i’ll ask her to contact him. The exam’s on thursday, right?"
"yep."
"well, if i don’t see you before, good luck. you’ll smash it."
pip mumbles a thanks before she hangs up and ravi looks over at her, "right, so, our open leads right now are the ivy house hotel, the phone number scribbled out of andie’s planner and the burner phone. as well as knowledge of the hit-and-run, access to sal’s friends’ phone
numbers and yours and moons. pip, maybe we are over-complicating this. as i see it, these are all pointing to one person."
"max?" amaris questions picking up ravis train of thought.
"let’s just focus on the definites here, no ifs or maybes. he’s the only one with direct knowledge of the hit-and-run." ravi says glancing between the two girls.
"true."
"he’s the only one here who had access to naomi, millie and jake’s
phone numbers. and his own."
"nat and howie could have." pip counters and amaris looks over at her.
"pipsqueak do you know what the word 'definite' means?" she asks sarcastically
"okay what shes trying to say in her own way is we're looking for definites and and 'could' isnt a definite, he says he just found it, but he has a naked picture of andie from the ivy house. so he was probably the one meeting her there. he bought rohypnol from andie and girls were getting spiked at calamities; he probably assaulted them. he’s clearly messed up, pip. also, he’s the only one here we know definitely has your phone number."
"actually, no, nat has it from when I tried to phone- interview her. howie has it too: i rang him when trying to identify him, and forgot to withhold my number. i got Unknown’s first text soon after."
"oh."
"none of them have my number but they could have easily got it from someone." amaris speaks up
"and we know that max was at school giving a statement to the police
at the time when sal disappeared." pip adds
amaris frowns when ravi slumbs back and says defeatedly, "we must be missing something."
she puts down her crochet stuff and moves over to him, "we'll find it ravi."
"let’s go back to the connections." pip says holding out a spool of ref string to ravi.
"okay while you guys do that im gonna go get a snack, anyone want anything?" amaris asks standing up, the two shake their heads, amaris nods and leaves.
"you know mari was devastated when you left yesterday." pip says after a minute of silence
"what?" ravi asks looking up
"

she was so upset and it didn't really dawn on me how much she cares about you until earlier."
"i don't- what are you getting at pip?"
"she cried in your arms, ravi. she never cried infront of anyone, not even me. and im her twin sister. she felt safe enough to break down infront of you, she really cares for you ravi. but anyway all im trying to say is please dont hurt her. please."
ravi was stunned, to say the least, he didn't know what to say. how was he supposed to respond to that. luckily enough for him amaris came back before he had a chance too.
"i got cheez-its and goldfish." she says holding the door open with her foot. "and i know you guys said you don't want anything but i know you guys and you'll probably be hungry in like a second. what?" amaris asks noticing ravis gaze.
"nothing." ravi shakes his head, amaris furrows her brows but says nothing as she sits and opens the cheez-its.
"ok, the two da silvas are obviously connected. and daniel da silva with andie’s dad. and daniel also with max, because he filed the report on Max’s crashed car and might have known about the hit-and-run."
"mhm and maybe covered up the spiking." amaris says before stuff cheez-its into her mouth
"ok," ravi mumbles connecting the red string and hissing when he stabbed himself with a pin.
"see that shit hurts." amaris exclaims refering to the many times she stabbed herself with the pins
"so max also knows howie and
they were both involved in andie’s drug dealing," ravi says ignoring amaris which makes her huff and throw one of her cheez-its at him
"yep. and max knew nat from school, and there’s a rumour she had her drink spiked as well." pip says
"so, basically –" ravi says looking up at the two girls – ‘they are all indirectly connected with each other, starting with howie at one end and jason Bell at the other. maybe they all did it together, all five of them."
"next you’ll be saying someone has an evil twin." pip says sarcastically but ravi just smiles.
"oh pip you do have an evil twin."
"fuck you ravi. pip give me the scissors im going to murder his penguin."
"see evil."
