Chapter 17 | Football with Parker - Part 1

How do you like the new cover of the book?

Please comment on what you think. If you have any covers you'd like to share, I would gladly post them on a chapter of the book.

I was going to update with another chapter (part 2), but I realize it has been too long and I shouldn't wait no more.

I hope you like it!

"You're joking."

"I am a hundred percent serious."

"You're out of your mind."

"My plan is brilliant!"

"Shhh," a third voice says.

"You're going to get yourself killed," I whispered, my eyes not leaving the book I was currently reading.

Liz rolls her eyes. "You're being melodramatic."

"No, I'm being realistic," I retort, directing my attention away from the book to look at Liz. "Going against Alice will get you killed."

"She slashed my tires and tried to mess with one of my best friends. I am going to kill her," Liz stubbornly concluded, arching an eyebrow as if saying, are you really going to challenge me?

I let out a deep breath, keeping calm. "You're way out of your-"

"Shhh!"

Liz calms herself before exploding on the librarian, who is hell bent on keeping us quiet.

"No," I firmly tell her, flipping the page of the book I was reading.

"Carolinaaa," she whines, pouting at me. "Come on! Cara agreed to help."

My eyes stay trained on the book I'm reading, not wanting to look at Liz. "I'm not insane like Cara. I'm not risking getting caught."

"Please Carolina! Please, please, please, plea-"

"SHHH!!!"

"You're louder than me! How about you shush?" Liz snaps at the librarian, making her turn red with a bit of embarrassment and anger.

I try to go back to reading my book, but Liz snatches it from my grasp and closes it.

"Hey! I didn't get to mark my place!" I complain, narrowing my eyes at her.

"You can find it later," she replies, half annoyed. "You're helping me and that is final!"

"Fine," I agree, rolling my eyes. "I'll help you and Cara get back at the trio."

"Cara?" Liz smirks, mischievously. "Oh, we still have to convince her."

I just blink at her. "Excuse me?"

"Oh, yeah. I kinda forgot to tell you that Cara hasn't responded to my offer...but she's still thinking about it," Liz explains, with an evil smile. "Oops."
