Coleen’s POV
I still need to figure out what Collin was about to say. I do have a slight interest about Jayden’s diary even though I don’t much like writing on diaries. It just seems so… weird inside, you know? At that fact that Collin discussed about what he read inside the diary, that part he was discussing about crushes, I sensed I was about to hear my name.
Well, I don’t know much exactly. What if I was just mistaken? I’d be ending up expecting something that will never ever happen. Ugh, I have to focus on this mission. Without Alex, we’ll need to be extra careful about the things we’ll be doing. Nobody with iron bones will be there to protect us from aliens.
In the first place, why did Alex jump off the train anyway? He had the USB all this time and he gave the man the decoy. But he still refused to believe that the boy he saw sitting unconsciously in that chair was just an optical illusion. Stubbornness can kill. I have to keep that quote in my head.
“Collin…!” somebody was banging on the Collin’s door. “Collin Maverick Graham-McHale Leonardo, open up this door this instant!”
Well, somebody has a really long name.
Collin, scratching the back of his head in misery, yelled back to the woman calling him outside. “What is it, Mom?” he asked with a few humiliations in his voice. I could guess that nobody else knew his entire name. “And please, you don’t have to say my entire name out loud. I insist”.
“You stole my Wi-Fi!” a female voice yelled from another room.
“I did not! I have my own connection. I research a lot of things more than you do, Sasha”.
“Would you mind getting your lazy little butt from your desktop and come out here? I have something to discuss with you!” Mrs. Leonardo called again outside his door.
“If it’s about the Wi-Fi connection that I took from Sasha, I didn’t take it. It was her little boyfriend who took the thing yesterday. I have my own connection”.
“Just get out here! I want to see your naughty little face!”
“Mom, I’m not a little kid anymore!”
“Maverick…!”
“Collin…?”
“I mean it, Maverick, if you don’t get out here, I will be banning you from using your computer and I will be donating your books to the library, mister!”
Collin sighed and facepalmed as we were left to giggle at what attitude his mom treats him. “Ugh, I’m coming, Mom”, he stood up and opened the door.
“I thought you’d never come out of that room! What…” her mom’s voice faltered by the time she saw the six of us there. “I see you’ve been busy”, she stepped into the room and looked around.
“Mom, please don’t go near my computer”.
“Hi, Mrs. Leonardo”, Jayden and Emmet waved.
“Good morning, boys”, she saw us through the screen but eventually we greeted her back politely. “Well, no wonder it took you time to get out. That girl with the auburn hair over there would make a perfect girl for my boy, don’t you think, kids?” Uh, yeah, she was talking about Courtney. We just nodded in response as Courtney just smiled back at Collin’s mom.
“Mom…!” Collin cried at the door. “Are you scolding me or not?”
“I’m already giving you the punishment. I know you hate being paired up with a girl. And hold on, why didn’t you tell me your friends were here?”
