BUTTERFLY Act One: Chapter Nineteen ❝ Consequences of their actions ❞
AMERIE AND HARPER WALKED THROUGH the gates of Hartley High, their hands intertwined, students murmuring at the sight of them together after the year they had. Seeing them together felt almost unreal to Delilah.
They shot a hard glare toward her group—everyone but Delilah, that is. When their eyes met hers, they offered a polite, strained smile. Delilah returned the gesture, though she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for them. She had heard rumours swirl about Harper's visit to the police (a student saw them head to the police station with Amerie's mum). Despite the stunt Harper pulled, she hoped they were alright.
Under the tree where Delilah's group stood, the conversation shifted uneasily around the weekend's events. Spider kicked at the dirt, clearly uncomfortable. Delilah could see Ant sulking in the shade, still bitter about it all. Spider's eyes caught hers, and she gave him a quick nod, reassuring him that things would be okay.
"I can't believe they let what you guys did slide," Delilah broke the silence, her voice soft but tinged with disbelief. "I thought for sure you'd be suspended. Expelled, even."
The three boys had only gotten off with a warning. Ant though, got lectured heavily and his punishment was to join Bible study with their mum. The boy was not happy with that at all, but he knew he deserved it so he didn't put up much of a fight.
Spider let out an exaggerated sigh. "Mum was all up on my ass the whole weekend."
Delilah rubbed his back in sympathy, knowing well that their relationship had probably gotten worse. Her gaze flickered to Dusty, who had been unusually quiet.
Dusty ran a hand through his hair, the weight of something unsaid clear in his posture. "Dad just lectured me too and uh.." he trailed off, looking at his three friends. "I'm leaving Hartley."
The words hung in the air for a moment, sinking in slowly. Delilah's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, what? The fuck do you mean you're leaving Hartley? You can't just—"
