Closer ☞ Audrey Jensen Romance

T h i r t e e n

"There's our little felon." Noah laughs as Audrey walks up to us. She and I decided we wouldn't tell anyone about us yet, "I'm so glad my ordeal brought you such amusement." Roni chuckled as Audrey spoke flatly.  "It would've brought me cold hard cash hawking these bad boys, but then you got sprung early so..." We all laughed as we walked down the schools corridor, and it nearly made me feel like a normal teenager again. But then I remembered 'normal teenagers' don't get threatening phone calls by murderers during late nights. Though I haven't gotten anything yet, I am prepared for the worst.

"Silver linings, my Christmas shoppings done." 

"Okay, before you ask me about my Shawshank Redemption, no, I did not get traded for a pack of cigarettes, or get chin-checked and I definitely did not wear the four-piece."  Audrey chuckles.

"But you did Google prison slang." I smile and stick my younger out a little bit, biting down on it lightly.

"Yep, you got me." 

"We're really glad you're back and, you know, not a demented psychopath..."  Noah cuts in.

"Jury's still out on that one." Audrey says in a serious manner. "But I'd still be there if it wasn't for Emma." She playfully glares at me, indicating she was fake-mad at me for not being the one to bail her out. I, for one, would've helped if I had known they were going to do anything.

"Watching that video must of really freaked you out." Audrey says, could tell she was disappointed in herself.

"What? No!" Noah exclaims as I pat her shoulder.  "Okay" Audrey tries at a new topic. "So aside from these lovely midterms I get to make up after school... What did I miss?" 

"Well we've been digging more into our mysterious Mr. Branson- who we now know is actually Mr. Palmer, but nothing more than what we already know." Noah says in a whispered voice.

"So maybe it's time to report his ass for the malware." Audrey starts.

" We would, but... It's gone. Someone's scrubbed it." I interfere, trying to make myself seem like I've actually done something. "Peep shows closed. Almost like it never existed." 

"And he got a sub today..." Noah says, looking the doorway into the busy classroom they were standing outside of.  "The sub-plot thickens." Noah smirks as Audrey rolls her eyes and I snort, trying to refrain myself from laughing at his shit joke.
