Who did it ?

Chapter 7 ~ Edited

Amber's POV:

Now that the school day has finally ended, and to be honest it truly couldn't have come quick enough - school mentally and physically drains the life out of me. So, I quickly run out of Hell and go to the nearest bus stop, since my dad couldn't pick me up.

Dana and Rana's mum kindly/relentlessly offered to give me a lift in her car but I didn't accept, obviously.

I'd feel weird and uncomfortable going home in someone else's car even if it's Lilly's mum's car in the mornings, which will most likely become a daily occurrence thanks to my father.

I can just about manage going with them, because it takes me quite a long time to get used to new people and new surroundings. Plus I hate change, it scares me. Yeah, u guessed it. I'm quirkeé.

I also need to keep an eye out for any texts from the new group chat. Alanna and me have been at the name of the group all day, arguing over what it should be called. She named it MISSION BRUISE then I changed it to MISSION ABUSE. Makes it sound more important, in my opinion.

We kept changing it between them two names until until Ebony, finally made an effort to join in, and she changed it to MISSION HELP LILLY. In the end we both just had to agree on it, in order to "stop wasting precious detective time" as Ebony so carefully put it.

BZZZZ! I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket as i whip it out and see it's an Instagram group message from the group. Quickly, I unlock my phone to see what the new detective group chat update is.

EBBBSSS <3 : Heyyy . So where r we meeting ?

Me : Not too sure tbh. Alanna u got any ideas ?

ALANNA 🦋: Roadside diner at 4. I'll meet u guys there.

ME : We'll be there.

I turn my phone off and quickly pull out an outfit from my wardrobe to change into.

I quickly spritz some COCO Chanel perfume over my neck, arms and shoulders and now I'm finally ready to go.

Okay almost ready, I sprint to the bathroom like the year 7's at lunchtime and quickly swipe on some mascara and clear lipgloss. I have a sudden urge to do a winged liner but decide against it, I'm not sure it'll go with my look today.

I check my watch and see that I have 10-ish minutes left if I want to get there on time, so I sprint up the stairs and grab my phone, £20, my mascara and lipgloss (just in case I need a top up) and shove them in my small purse.

I see that I only have two minutes left when I hear my mum scream my name.

" Yeaahhhh??!!! " I scream back

No answer.

" Yeeaahhhhh ?!!! " I scream even louder this time .

Still no answer.
