ch. 33

jack had come to terms with himself that he needed to speed up his plan.

time was running out and so was his patience. "molly i'm gonna need you to take over again. i have to get back to working on the plan." jack explained. molly sighed, "yes sir. good luck with your plan." she said, lacking enthusiasm in her voice.

jack nodded and gathered his things.

"sir, i hope you know what you've gotten yourself into. please be careful." molly said as he walked out, a longing look on her face.

"if i didn't, i wouldn't have gotten this far."

*******************************

noah noticed finn was acting off, he knew why. it was clearly because of jack. if you couldn't tell how much jack bothered finn you were either dense — no, just dense.

the constant glares, the pissed off face he had when jack was around, the bad mood, it was all pretty clear. to noah at least.

he didn't know why everyone else couldn't see it, they all said he was just moody. they were just dumb. it was up to him to figure out why he hated jack so much.

not that noah particularly liked jack either, he just didn't see a good enough reason to hate someone so much. there was enough hate in the world already.

caleb told him that he'd take care of it, and noah trusted him.

but that doesn't mean he wouldn't talk to finn himself.

noah decided to leave it alone for a while, not wanting finn to be upset more than he already was.

he was now over at sadie's, playing SORRY! with her and gaten. he was winning, obviously. he was the king of board games.

except for monopoly. he always lost.

"noah don't you dare move those two spaces!!" sadie said as she threw some m&m's into her mouth. noah smirked, "cmon sades, you know me better than that!"

noah moved his game piece, successfully winning the game.

gaten cursed loudly, flipping the board. "WITCH CRAFT!" he shouted, "THIS IS PLAIN WITCH CRAFT!" noah laughed at his childishness, sipping on his diet coke, diet coke because he was supposedly on a 'diet.'

sadie slapped gaten upside the head, "oh shut up you knuckle head."

gaten chuckled and got up to fill his cup again.
