ELLA FREAKING CONWAY.

RING RING RING.
my whole body jumps at the sudden sound. i was so focused on finishing my english test i didn't even realize how much time had gone by. i quickly grab my books and paper and hand it over to my english teacher. i wait at the door for cami and caroline. as people file out of the class room, adam stops next to me.

"can we please talk?" adam asks with hope in his eyes. i sigh.

"yeah, but not now. i'm actually trying to do something important." i say crossing my arms across my chest.

"and what's that?" he asks leaning against the wall.

"something i can't say just yet, but i'll fix it you don't need to worry." i say. he gives me a confused look.

"ready?" cami asks as her and caroline walk up beside me. i nod my head slowly. i place a hand on adam's chest.

"i'll see you later." i say sadly. to be honest i was sad. i was sad that he didn't trust me when i said that nicole is not who she really is, and instead he became even more closer with her. so yes i'm hurt and upset with him but that doesn't mean i'm not going to save him. actually i AM going to save him.

"this is all so confusing." i say looking down at the book. caroline had snuck one of nicole's books from her bag so now we are going through it to see if she has anything in here about her plan.

"i agree. maybe it's all in secret or something." cami says , making a point. that's when i realized what i was looking at.

"i got it! she drew a picture of a boy. the next page is the scenery of a dance with two people slow dancing. the next page is a girl grabbing the boys hand and dragging him away from the scene. the next is them on a roof? or some sort of building and it looks like there talking. the next page is her dragging the boy off the roof and down a hole in the roof? the next is her getting into some type of car, but she's not driving. someone is in the drivers seat as the boy and girl get into the back of the car. then the next page is a , lighthouse? oh! the lighthouse by the lake! and then the last picture is them at the top, with a gun in her hand." i explain. cami and caroline look at me with wide eyes.

"so you're saying that the girl is nicole and the boy is adam and she drew her plan in pictures?" caroline asks. i nod my head quickly.

"if you think about it it's actually pretty smart. if any one were to see this they wouldn't think it was a plan , they would just think that it's pictures." i say scanning over the pages of photos.

"ella, you are actually a genius! how did you know all of this?" cami asks in shock.

"i didn't , it made sense. i mean look at the pictures , a boy and a girl dancing. she even told caroline that her plan would start off there." i say closing the book.

"now i have a plan. first of all we need to find that gun , it's obvious that she already has it. considering her plan will take place tomorrow. i'll get the gun. caroline i need you to take nicole out. take her shopping or anything. i'll text you when i found it. cami, i need you to show the book to the ducks. we are going to need as much help as we can get. so if you can explain to them what's about to happen, the might help. and then tomorrow. depending how many people we can get , we should put at least two people in each scene. we really do need more people." i explain. caroline nods her head

"i could ask my friends elena and bonnie (if you understand this , like what i'm referring to. i love you 💞) if they could help. i'm pretty sure they would." caroline suggests.

"perfect , now we just have to be ready."

"you wanted to talk?" i ask adam as i sit down next to him. he had texted me to meet him out front of the school. it was now dark , as soon as i got back to my dorm from the park i did my homework so now here i am.

"yeah, i miss you." he says sadly. i smile.

" i miss you too, but you know that you are the one who has ditched me for nicole for the past week." i say crossing my arms across my chest.

"i know. and i'm stupid. i just felt bad since she has no other friends besides that girl caroline you were with earlier." adam says. that made me wonder about the mysterious person who is driving the getaway car. if she had no other friends, then who the hell is driving that car.

"yeah i know what you mean." i lie. really she isn't as innocent as she seems. i mean she is freaking trying to kill you. i haven't told adam yet mainly because i don't want him to worry or say something to nicole that could drive her to go crazy and possibly hurt adam.

"will you forgive me?" he asks. the sound of saddens dripping from those words made me feel bad. i smile at him in the darkness.

"hmm let me think about it." i say sarcastically as i pull his face closer to mine.

"i've missed you." i whisper as i break the inches between. we were both so happy to have each other back that neither of a noticed that one person was watching us the whole time.
