When Secrets Surface (Book #1)

Chapter 9

Dorothy's POV

We were in the art class room helping to create decorations for the class of 2023's reunion.

I stared to make paper cranes, but my attention started to drift off... Mark said Iris and another guy were selling the pills to him.

I'm certain it's Leo because they both specifically told us to stay away from them.

However, what does this have to do with Dad's case? There's probably a massive, hidden correlation, but we just can't put our fingers on it.

There is also a high chance that whoever is threatening Sophie
is one of our suspects.

Sophie's going to therapy today after the whole mom thing yesterday. She barely had any sleep last night, and she's more grumpy than me when she doesn't get her sleep. When that happens, I'm just terrified of her and stay out of her path.

"Dori, "May tapped me lightly on my shoulder. I looked down at the crane and it looked like a piece of scrunched up paper.

I groaned. Why can't I just concentrate for a few minutes ever since this whole Dad case?

"Your sister brought tons of snacks earlier. Wanna eat some?"She asked.

"Why not?" I responded. I think I need to take a break from folding paper or I may go crazy.

Sophie's POV

I felt something nugde me, and I shot awake. I rubbed my eyes and stretched a little. I felt nauseous. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. I looked around and saw Nichole. She woke me up, but I was feeling completely disoriented.

"I'm awake! Why...What happened? Where am I?" I asked, my voice sounding groggy.

"We are having a student body meeting, and you, the student body president, fell asleep. I called you like 10 times and you didn't wake up," Nichole complained.

"I'm sorry I got 3 hours of sleep last night. If you want me to stay awake, I need coff..." I paused. I felt like gaging.

"Are you okay?", Zach questioned me concerned.

"I feel like I could throw up," I was feeling more nauseous than before .

"Then don't puke here or I'll puke,"Nichole told me.

Nichole and I are complete opposites but we work flawlessly together.

"What were we talking about?" I don't even know what's going on.

"We are supposed to plan the graduation party for class of 2024 and plan the reunion party for class of 2023,"Nichole explained.

"Can someone please tell me what exactly were supposed to do in detail?" I have never felt more confused in my whole life.

Nichole placed her hand on my forehead and looked at my face with a worried expression. "You feel warm; maybe we should reschedule the meeting and you go to the nurse's office, " Nichole suggested.

"I'm fine, I just need coffee. I'll be back," I started to pack up my things. .

"You know coffee induces vomiting," Zach commented.

"I don't give a flip. I won't be able to stay awake, " I stood up to get a coffee form the cafe in our school. My mouth began to water, and my stomach cramped up. I ran to the bathroom and kneeled down near the toilet but I didn't throw up. What was wrong with me today?

I stood up and went back to the meeting.

"Zach can you reschedule this meeting. I feel sick, " I told Zach my voice sounding weak.
