Dorothy's POV

I knocked on Sophie's door and heard a soft reply.

I looked at Sophie, sitting at the edge of her bed.

"You didn't sleep," I flat-out stated.

"No, I couldn't. I am going to the hospital to report sleep-deprivation," Sophie said looking exhausted," Maybe go to therapy".

"Should I drive you?" I offered.

"No, Mom will take me. Maybe I'll visit Nikki or Theo," She said sounding exhausted.

I sat in the school library with my laptop resting on my lap.

I scrolled through anything regarding my Dad and Matthew Rio until I found the 'thereaaalDavidGordon'

Wait I just realized Dad didn't have any X accounts. And why does it have an anonymous tag?

I tried clicking on the profile. No bio description whatsoever. No information on who the account belongs to. Only the name claiming to be David Gordon.

Is this another dead end? I was trying my hardest to create a correlation with any of our current information. But I couldn't think of anything.

I felt something tap me and on impulse, I slammed my laptop shut.

It was Ryan.

"Hi," he slumped down on the bean bag next to me.

"Can we talk later? I'm very busy," I said gripping onto my laptop for dear life.

"What are you hiding?" He asked.

"Excuse me," I tried to act dumb.

"I know you're not dumb. You're an honor student. You can't be stupid if you're an honors student, " He deduced.

"I'm just working on something private," I said.

He burst out laughing. "Don't worry. I just wanted to know when we will go on our date".

Crap. I forgot about that date my sister set me up for.

"I'll try to declutter my schedule and see when I can squeeze in some time," I thought of a quick excuse.

"Sure, let me know when you're free," Ryan said as he left me in the library.

What have gotten myself into?

Sophie's POV

I felt something cold drip down my back. I woke up realizing I slept through class.

"Looks like sleeping beauty finally woke up," It was Bella.

"Why?!" asked groggy from sleep.

"You're not supposed to sleep in class," Bella said.

I picked up my stuff and stormed out of class.

I felt someone grab my arm.

"Hi, I'm here to apologize for yesterday," He said remorsefully.
