Behind Their Smiles

Chapter 3

I didn't ever tell Molly that I even thought about the fact that we had a really smart person on our so called "murder team." I would never tell her now that I think about it. She wouldn't want to work with us anymore. Anyways, she is my BEST friend. I wouldn't trade her for the world.

"So guys, after school do you guys want to go to TSC?" I asked. 

"What's TSC?" Jase asked.

"You don't know what TSC is?" I asked. 

"No." He replied looking confused. 

"It's the Two Street Cafe! They finest Cafe in Pennsylvania!" Molly said smiling. Molly loved Two Street Cafe. 

"Um-Sure-Alright-Yeah." He stuttered.

"Alright, I'll meet you guys there at four. Does that sound good?" I said getting up to throw my trash away.

"Yep! See you there!" Molly said leaving to go to study hall. 

When I got to study hall, I had Mrs. Talbert. She was short, kind of chunky, and has hair that was about as greasy as a frying pan. Luckily, I had homework to finish so I didn't have to sit and do nothing the whole time. 

"Hey. Priscilla. Over here!" A voice whispered to me.  

I looked around wondering where in the world that voice came from. 

"Priscilla!" I heard it again, but this time, I knew where it was coming from. 

"What do you want, Andy?" I asked rolling my eyes. 

"I need to ask you a question." Andy said scooting closer and closer to me. 

"What?" I asked annoyed, backing away from him

"Do you have a crush on Trey Holcomb?" He asked.

"Why do you care?" I said with my face turning hot and my cheeks getting rosy red. 

"Just because, in Math you always make googly eyes at him and it's kind of creepy." He said with a chuckle. 

"It's not creepy! And no, I do not like Trey." I said getting up. 

Right then I was so thankful that study hall had ended. Because I DID have a crush on Trey Holcomb. He was tall, blonde hair and blue eyes- just for me! It's almost like we're perfect for eachother. 

7th Period ended and I went to my car to go to TSC. I got into my car and took off. There was a wreck in front of the school so I was stuck there for like 20 minutes. I wonder if all the others were stuck. Apparently not because I got a call from Adam asking where I was at and if I was okay. 

"I'm fine Adam, there was a wreck at the school and I got caught in the traffic. I'll be there in like 15 minutes." I said speaking quickly. 

"Alright, well call us if things get bad. We'll come get you." Adam said. 

"Okay, but that's not possible with the conditions of this accident. It won't be long. I promise." I said hanging up.

They always worried about me. I guess because I was the youngest. Jase and Adam were like the big brothers I always wanted. If anyone harmed me, they would have them dead the next day. A couple minutes later the traffic moved along and I was back on the road moving at regular speed. I called Molly and told her I would be there in like 5 minutes. 

"Just hurry! We've got good news!" Jase said taking the phone from Molly. 

"Alright, Alright. I'm hurrying. See you there!" I said hanging up. 

As soon as I got in, I looked to the table farthest from the door and closest to the back. That's where all of us were sitting. They were staring at me from across the room like I had some big secret they all wanted to know.
