Sebastian and I arrive at school earlier than we're supposed to, so what better things to do but kill the time with a make-out. We are at the backseat of his car, my one hand under his shirt just feeling his well-toned body as the other grabs his hair to pull him closer to me.

"You know we should stop." I suggest in between kisses.

"Why?" He proceeds to give me trails of kisses from my lips to my neck then back to my lips.

"Do you want to come to class with another boner accident?" I pulled away and look at him. He sighed, rolling his eyes at me. I got off him and sit next to him.

"We can skip first period." He kisses my neck.

"No." cupping his face and making him look at me. "You have a test on the first period, remember? You don't want to fail the class."

"Okay." He nodded.

"Good Boy." I peck on his lips one last time. I fixed my shirt as he does the same, I was now redoing my bun again after it got messed up. We were about to get off his car when our phone beeps at the same time, taking our phones out and reading the message.

"It's about a stupid game." He shoves back his phone as he saw the message. But for me, it was a big deal, especially if it concerns my best friend who doesn't even want to be friends with me anymore. The message was informing about another photo being posted with the clue - All our favorite conversations are made not in the A.M, instead while the sun's burning high up.

"Cafeteria." I blurted out and rushed out of Sebastian's car. "Aren't you coming?" I glance toward him still sitting on the driver's seat.

"Do we have too?" He complains.

"Yeah, someone is being bullied with the game and you just want to seat there, not do something." I glare at him.

"Okay, okay. You don't have to be mad." He hops out the car. We arrive at the cafeteria; many students are already there trying to find the puzzle piece that could lead them to know who the person is, but I will never let that happened. "What now?" Sebastian asks.

"Find the piece." I ordered. "It must be around here somewhere." I look around, scanning the room as several students do the same. I need to try harder if I wanted to succeed, I need to think if I we're Nate where would I post the photo? Then a flashback of the first puzzle came to me, it was posted by the name of the school, could be that it's not inside the cafeteria but by the cafeteria. Quickly walk by the entrance and there it was the photo, but how can I reach it if it's too high up?

Walking towards the janitor's closet, I grab a broom and with it, I tried to pick the photo like I was picking mangoes from a tree. I jump up and down just to make it fall, just when I was about to triumphantly succeed, I heard a group of students say, "I think it's not in here, let's search by the field."

My heart was rapidly beating inside my chest, I need to have the photo now before they see me and just before they walk out the cafeteria the photo fell. I acted like I was cleaning the floor, so I won't look suspicious. I sighed in relief as they finally left, I even forgot that I was with Sebastian until he calls out to me. "Abby."

"Yeah?" I turn to look at him.

"Should we still continue looking? I think it's not here." Looking under a table.

"It's probably not here anyway," I said as I put the photo in my back pocket.

Before I went to eat lunch, I went to the Fire Exit to look at the photo earlier. It was a photo of the lower arms to the hands. Thank goodness it isn't the face yet, or something that's too revealing. I tore the photos into pieces and threw it in the trash. I happily walk out, when a squirming student came rushing to the cafeteria. I saw one of my classmates from Physics and ask her. "What's happening?"
