I'm a living gossip. My last name says so... I'm Vanessa Baker, Hannah Baker's fraternal twin sister. Being far away didn't get her to do well either bad, it just let her to be what she is now: dead. Dead. Dead.
Liberty High is as guilty as every...
I woke up the next morning with a new scent. It was not the same smell of sweat that I always thought I had every day, but a touch of fruit with perfume. Vanessa's perfume. I reacted and saw her, delicate and sublime, sleeping next to me. I remembered what had happened between us and a silly smile came out of my face. It was the best night I could have had. I ran my hand around her waist and moved closer to her. She grabbed my hand and entwined it with hers. It felt good, even if it reminded me of Hannah. Both had a great resemblance and was impressive. But I didn't want to overwhelm her for that. Not now.
"What time is it?", growled the brunette, "Or rather, what day's today?"
"It's Friday...", I looked at the clock, "And it's six in the morning, Ness."
"Oh, then we have two hours left to look like we didn't have sex yesterday", she turned and looked at me with a smile, "Although it was the best."
"Do you want to repeat it?", I asked coquettishly.
"No, thanks", she planted a chaste kiss on the lips, "I think that right now I need to get to school for my P.E clothes. Thank God I can have those clothes stored in the locker."
"But let's stay here for another five minutes", I let go like a little boy.
"Do you want May to see us like this? No, right? Then move. We go to school, I pick up my clothes, I change and have breakfast anywhere."
"Did you plan that in five seconds?", I joked and she hit me on the arm, "Ouch!"
"Never underestimate my plans, Dempsey", she got up and picked up what we had stripped several hours ago, "I'm not asking you, but I'm going to grab a shirt of yours."
"Whatever you want", I said and got up.
[...]
"See? My plans are great", Vanessa glorified herself while she wore her sportswear on, "I am the best. And nobody noticed."
"If you say so", I scoffed before opening the dining room doors, "What's up, guys!"

"Dempsey!", Monty shouted, "You two missed yesterday's meeting!"
"Exactly! What were they doing?", Bryce hinted.
"I was with Zach in Rosie's and from there he left me at work, I couldn't skip it", Ness excused herself, "Although you'll have another one today? I'm free so I have to take advantage", and she looked at me as an accomplice. I knew exactly what it meant.
"Of course!", they all released.
"I want you two in my house at seven. Don't miss it", Walker said, "Oh, and we found Tyler, as always, taking pictures. But of you two."
"Oh, really?", I got angry, but Vanessa put her hand on my thigh trying to calm me down.
"Of course, he's an idiot", Montgomery cleared his throat, "How much do we bet he is in love with Vanessa?"
