I woke up rolling over to see that noah wasn't there I got up walking into the bathroom not able to find him , I could smell a delightful breeze in the air as I went to the the living room following my nose I walked into the kitchen before smiling at a humming noah I walked over wrapping both my arms around his waist before he sat the spatula in the pan of eggs , spinning me around to face him , Morning gorgeous sleep well? Yeah what is this? Breakfast you want some? Mmm I said rubbing my stomach pouting at noah.
We finished our plates before going back into noahs room , I sat on the bed while he took a quick shower, my eyes shifted across the room at four picture frames I walked over picking one up , awee I whispered to myself looking at a picture of noah and a woman who I assume is his mother he was dressed up as Count Dracula it was so cute he was covered in fake blood and a cape ,
Hey you, noah said walking up to me , he took the picture examining it then sitting it back down on the table . Why are you looking at them embarrassing pictures? Awe noah they're cute really cute I said walking to the bed , whatever he said grabbing his keys and wallet I picked up my stuff , still wearing noahs shirt , we walked outside him locking the door and got in the car , okay to your house we go he said pulling out of his drive way .

when we got to my house I jumped out running up to the door jamming my key in and running up the stairs I got in the shower real quick washing my hair and body off , when I got out Noah was looking through my shelf of xbox360 games , damn you have it made don't you? Well you have more lol but still you have a lot for a girl , I smiled I walked over grabbing my black leggings , black tank top , and plain white teeshirt which was grungy looking from the rips and holes in it but I thought it looked cool , I slipped on my red velvet vans and my burgundy red leather jacket from H&M , we walked out of the house, heading for school .

Are you kidding me? Brooke said snapping at the brunette who almost sat down in Riley's desk . You got a problem? She snapped back giving Brooke the eye . Yeah, I do. That's Riley's seat. Forever. She said sticking her nose up at the girl as she walked away finding another seat .

Okay, everybody Mr.B said getting everyone's attention, We are still reeling from Riley's death, but we do have learning to do. Noah, I know you two were scene partners. Uh, yeah, I, I think I'm just gonna sit this one out. If that's okay. I understand. But if you would like to work with Carter I would be fine with that , yeah yeah I guess That's fine yeah he said hesitant. But we will resume our scene work next week. Let's get back to Hawthorne. The Scarlet Letter. It's a classic tale of hypocrisy, misogyny, and female oppression. Mr. Branson, seriously, with all the cyber-bullying and GIFs and mayhem going down... Who cares? Jake said looking at everyone who was giving him a mean look as he laughed. Actually, Jake, it's very relevant. See, the birth of Hester Prynne's illegitimate child led to her being essentially outed and cyber-bullied, Puritan style. It just takes nine months instead of nine seconds . class dismissed he said as the bell rang .

Noah? Em said as she walked in joining me Noah and Audrey. Emma. Uh, welcome to my nightmare. What's up? I got this in the mail. I think the killer is sending me some weird message. A yearbook? That's not so weird. Oh, Holy Manson Family album! Noah said shocked as he opened the yearbook. Hey. Sorry. Just... These were Brandon's victims. He stole their faces. And then he scratched out my dad's. The only survivor. I guess Tyler could have sent this, but it seems a little analog for a killer who's been using social media and cell cloning. Well, I mean he is taking me to the past. Is this the message? Audrey and I asked at the same time,  Yeah. "The truth lies where the mask was made." You know, the mask Brandon James wore was actually a surgical mask. Some say it was all that held his face together... Noah. Okay, okay. Um, just... It was to protect his sutures from infection, post-op. So who made it? I don't know. Brandon's surgeries were done at Lakewood General, out on the turnpike, but it closed down, like, six or seven years ago he shrugged. Please tell me we're going there! Noah shouted big eyed. No. We're, we're not going anywhere Em said sounding creeped out. But it's a great lead! Look, I know that you want to do something for Riley, and I do, too. But, uh... This could be a trap Em said , Uh, yeah, fine. Okay. Why don't you take it to the sheriff? Yeah, go be law-abiding and whatever. I've got some grief-gaming to do. I'll catch you later Noah said going over to the couch plopping down picking up the controller. Emma? Em, you're going to that hospital alone, aren't you? Audrey said grabbing onto her arm , I... I just keep thinking about what you said this morning. About what a relief it would be if it actually was Tyler who was behind all of this. And, I mean, if he sent me that yearbook, and he's dead, then this isn't a trap. He's not there to ambush me. And you'd have your answer. Yeah. But also, if it wasn't him... Then we go together. Prepared Em said with a fierce look striking from her face. Okay. Cool. Should we take Noah? Em asked , Oh, God, no. He'd be like a four-year-old at Disneyland. We'd have to put a leash on him Audrey said causing me to laugh. Fair point. He can watch the highlight reel. Let's do this Audrey said signaling for both of us to leave before Noah saw us , but I think he still did.
