Chapter Eight
Cat And Dog Fights.
Anna
"Seriously, what's the catch?" I whisper-ask for the second time, as Luke peeks from around the corner.
I agreed on Luke coming with me, because he said he knew someone who could hack in the school's system and delete any footage of us. I'm hoping that he's not lying.
"Why are you whispering?" Luke whispers back.
"Why are you whispering back?" I ask.
"I don't know."
"You didn't answer my question."
"What the hell are you talking about?" He asks in confusion.
"Well, I'm sure your mind wasn't all like: Hey, I'm not going to be a jerk for once and help my mum's nemesis' daughter," I say, mocking his voice.
"Firstly: I don't sound like Batman in flu season," he says. "And secondly: what if I really just want to help you?"
"I believe in aliens, but not in what you just said," I reply. "What do you really want?"
He sighs and stops looking around, turning to face me, "I noticed that you're really good at history in Mr. Miller's lesson and I really want to understand that French Revolution lesson, because if I fail in History again. They're going to tell mom that I need to attend night school," he explains. "And I've already had it enough with this shitty place, so I don't really need night school in my life."
"You want me to tutor you?" I ask.
"That would be really nice."
"Why can't you ask someone else?"
"Usually, it ends up with me tutoring them, if you know what I mean," he winks.
"Gross," I grimace.
"I'm just kidding, I don't do hookups," he grins.
"Oh."
"So, are you going to help me?"
"Fine, but only if you promise we will get my notebook back," I cross my arms.
"I promise."
"Okay, then."
"Come on, let's go," he gestures for me to follow him, then he walks from around the corner and I follow him. That's when I remember Colette and I text her, telling her that we're near the lockers.
Merida aka Lottie: We?
Me: Just come here and I'll explain.
We keep walking in the hallway for a few minutes, before I hear footsteps and I stop in my tracks. I send Luke a panicked look as the footsteps come closer. A shadow of a hooded figure appears on the floor and Luke and I hide between two lockers.
