••AT THE ASSEMBLY ••

"We hereby urge you students to bear with us throughout this whole heartfelt moment for our school and cooperate with us as much as you can, in fact we plead with any of you that might have a clue or a little knowledge about the burning of the school premise and the people who are involved in it... please do come forward even with the little information that you have and we will keep it anonymous as much as we can. Because losing a building is nothing compared to losing a life inside that building, it's a great loss for the school and the family of the deceased"

Lowell turns to glare at Jordan and Jordan glares back at him..

"So please let's work together in this situation in order to bring justice for our student so that we can make things easier for the police and for the family that has lost their child in that fire, and until then we don't want to see any of our students making assumptions about this matter on social media or around the school premises because if so then you will be implicated and be in so much trouble for that matter."

"Other than that the investigation goes on and we will find out about what really happened yesterday in our school come hell or high water and those involved will be severely punished by the law."

Everyone murmurs and Jordan pulls down his blazer sleeves to cover his hands also swallowing hard.
He shoves his gloved hands into the trouser pockets and then looks around checking on anyone who must be watching him.

"Now we will release you back to your classes and good luck to those that are continuing with their exams today...good luck"

Now everyone disperses to different directions heading to class.
But Jordan can't shake off the sense of discomfort that he is feeling about everything that is happening right now over the scene that he was involved in.

"We are no longer safe in our own school friend."
"Shh we can't assume anything right now, let's wait on the police reports to determine whether that was suicide or someone caused it...for now just shhh"..

Jordan clears his throat walking past them and Lowell eventually catches up with him to walk side to side like they usually do, they can't act suspiciously right now so they have to act like they are still okay even if they are not.
But thank goodness this Angela situation is overshadowing their sextape at the moment so there is less focus on them.
And that's a great thing

Lowell (whispers): Don't mind what they said about finding out the truth, they won't find anything implicating us just as long as you will keep your mouth shut partner, no one will know.
Jordan: Don't tell me something that I already know Lowell, I know how to keep my mouth shut okay?
Lowell: But man I-... Wait isn't that Angela's car?
They stop on their tracks turning to look at the parking lot.
They both gasp noticing that there is a police officer checking out the car and searching it.

Jordan: You didn't touch her car last night right?
Lowell: No I didn't, I may have tried to get rid of it but I reconsidered that it would raise so much suspicion if her car was further away from her death place and we don't need that.

"IT'S A PHONE SIR, IT WAS IN THE CAR!"

Jordan and Lowell exchange looks covered in so much shock.
Jordan: If it's her phone that they found then I am done for, they will trace the chats and they will-
Lowell (Grabs him by the blazer): Shhh just catch a grip, what the hell man?
Jordan yanks Lowell's hands off him loosening his tie on the process.

Lowell: You better pull yourself together because we can't act suspicious right now...this matter has everyone's attention so let's go to class to write that test and then we'll discuss about this after school privately...how about that?
Jordan: I won't discuss anything with you Lowell because there is nothing to discuss about. This is all your fault that I am in this position right now and if you were honest with me from the beginning then I wouldn't have stayed here yesterday to get burnt, and that bitch would still be alive now to save me all of this trouble.
Now they'll find out that I was the last person she texted and it was me that she asked to stay behind after school.... so do you know what those people will assume about what happened then?
They'll probably assume that I raped her and then killed her afterwards just to clear up everything that might point back to me... anything worst as that will be pinned back to me and now you fucking expect me to calm down?

*Silence*

Jordan: So please don't you dare tell me to pull myself together, I-...
"What are you boys whispering about over here, shouldn't you be in class by now?"

Lowell clears his throat standing up straight and Jordan fixes his tie turning to face Mr Crawford.
He looks at them with a raised brow and then folds his arms analysing their moves like a hawk and then he looks back at the spot that they were facing which is the crime scene and then he looks back at them.

Lowell: I think that we should be heading back to class.
Mr Crowford: Yeah sure run away...(pulls Jordan back) but you stay behind..

Jordan groans yanking his painful arm from his hold and Crowford pulls up Jordan's hand noticing the bandages through his wrist.

Mr Crowford: What happened to you?

Jordan quickly yanks him off.

Jordan: Nothing happened to me, Look I have to go to class, I have a test that I should prepare for Sir.

With that Jordan marches away from his presence holding his breath so hard with hopes that he's not following them to class.
But fortunately enough he's not. But of course he must have got very suspicious about their edgy actions right now.
And if Jordan continues to cry out when people hold his burnt arms then more of them will be suspicious about the fact that he got burnt right after a burnout occured in his school.
And they can't afford that right now, especially after the evidence that that they found that could point out everything back to him.

Jordan: Fuck!.. I'm screwed.

••

Everyone minds their own business in class with Jordan tapping his feet on the floor and also leaning his head in his fist thinking so hard.
Lowell sighs and holds Jordan's leg to remain still and calm.
Jordan looks at Lowell's hand that is resting on his thigh and then looks back up at him.
He looks around just in case someone else was watching him panicking and zoned out.
Lowell: Calm down..
Jordan: I am trying.
Lowell: Try harder Hans..

"Jordan Hans and Lowell Adams"

They quickly look up at the classroom's entrance and there stands Mr Crawford slightly smirking at them.
They sigh and with Jordan starting over to panic.
Lowell tightens his hold on Jordan's leg suddenly panicking as well.

Mr Crowford: To the Principal's office...now.

They first look at each other and then they slowly get up to make their way towards Mr Crawford and they walk with him in silence to the Principal's office but when they get there they see Anastasia and Missy.... Out of relief they sigh out loud realizing that they are only in trouble for the video nothing else.
Thank goodness they can breathe again, they exchange looks in relief.

Mr Crowford: The principal has his hands full with the loss of one of his students and the burnt premises to be dealing with you right now, so I will deal with you all by myself.

They all look up at him dumbfounded but he has his eyes set on Jordan and his hands. Jordan slides them into his pockets and keeps his eyes on his, Crowford smirks.

Mr Crowford: I called each and every parent of yours for a meeting tomorrow after school in regards of the video that you all recorded together. So let's meet again tomorrow after school when your parents are around okay?
And you all better be here, and you better prepare yourselves for anything because there will be hell to pay... Do I make myself clear?
Them: Yes Sir.
Mr Crowford: Good now leave my sight.

They nod all walking out of his office and Anastasia hurries up to Jordan.
Anastasia: Guys I am really sorry about that night, I-
Lowell: Just save it, what will your sorry do us any good right now?
He clucks his tongue and then walks away with Jordan heading back to their class.
Justin and Scott look at each other smirking as Jordan and Lowell walk to comfortably sit on their desk.
They lean closer to whisper to each other.

Justin: Should we tell them that we know about Angela?
Scott: No not yet, let them freak out first and then we will surprise them with relief when the time is right. We only need to talk to my brother about this because he will know what to do with them.

Justin nods and then rests his back watching Jordan and Lowell talking beneath whispers over their desk seemingly freaking out about this whole situation.
He smirks focusing back on his business.
Those morons are in so much trouble right now.
