Hidden Flames

Chapter 7

[Thursday - Millwood High]

The six girls are sitting at a table in the library, "Last night, I got a call from an unknown number. When I didn't answer, a video chat invitation came up on SpookySpaghetti, and..." Mouse explained
"You just couldn't help yourself?" Noa asked

"The invitation was from someone claiming to be Bloody Rose and whoever it was, threatened me" Mouse said

"Oh my god. I also got a missed call last night" Imogen said
"Oh, I got a random call too" Tabby said

"Yep" Faran said
"Same" Noa said

"I did too" Juliette groaned, "Please tell me this shit isn't starting again"

"Mamma Mia! two. Here We Go Again" Tabby said
"No, girl. That one's a reach" Faran said

"If it helps, I don't think it's one of our established supervillains" She opened her laptop, "I did some recon on SpookySpaghetti, and..." She turned the computer around, "Our phone numbers were posted on this site. Our new, private numbers" Mouse said

"Oh, wait, what the actual fuck?" Noa asked

"Seriously?" Juliette asked
"Who would've or could've leaked our numbers? I mean, I only gave mine to my moms, and they're on a Disney Dream Cruise with basically no internet" Mouse said

"I gave mine to my Dad, but he lives next to a quarry, with basically no internet" Imogen said
"I gave mine to my new boss, who happens to be Coach Rhodes, and he's a little too old for SpookySpaghetti, I think" Faran said
"Obviously I gave mine to Shawn but that's about it" Noa said, "Oh and my boss at Pinball Pizza, Benny"

"Other than my parents, Atlas is the only other person I gave mine to" Juliette said

"Of course you gave it to fucking Atlas" Noa mumbled

Juliette looked at the jealous girl, "What was that, Noa?" Juliette asked the girl

"Nothing, I just didn't know you were still that close with him. I thought you two weren't seeing each other anymore" Noa said

"Yeah, well he's still my friend" Juliette tilted her head, "Who knows, maybe I'll give him a second chance" Juliette told her

The look on Noa's face wasn't subtle one bit, "Anyways..." Tabby cut in, sensing the tension, "...I gave my number to a co-worker" Tabby said

"Cute Christian?" Imogen asked
"For official work purposes only" Tabby said

"Okay, well, any one of those people might have posted one of our numbers, but how could someone have posted all of them?" Imogen asked

"I don't know. But I emailed the SpookySpaghetti website, again, and asked to have them taken down. Obviously, I'm all over this until I hear back from them, but there is something else I wanted to talk about" Mouse said

"Shit" Noa said

"What is it?" Tabby asked

"I was kind of hoping someone else would bring it up, but it's my birthday Saturday" Mouse said

"Wait, it's your birthday?" Faran asked

"I...I wouldn't even be bringing it up, but...it's my sweet 16, and it wouldn't even be a big deal if we can't do anything. I just thought I would mention it. Oh, so casually" Mouse said

"Oh...I...I'm not sure about a birthday party right now, Mouse" Imogen said
"Yeah, even if that call was just some stupid SpookySpaghetti prank, maybe we should be keeping a low profile" Faran said
"Yeah, business as usual. Good call" Tabby said
