Chapter 12

Why are they taking so long to answer? I've been standing outside of Josh's house for at least a minute. Are they home? They could be sleeping. It is 8am, I was supposed to meet Josh at his house today to walk to college with him. Has he slept in?

I was about to knock again, but then the door swung open. Um...

"Oliver." Mr Fuentes opened the freaking door. He looked... tired. Why is he at Josh's house?" You looking for Josh?"

I didn't know what to say. I looked everywhere, the left, the right, the sky, the ground, anywhere but him. "Um-um, err..." I had to look at him, he looked at me as if I was the devils reincarnation. I felt targeted.

"He's sleeping right now. You know it's Saturday, right?"

"What? It's... it's Friday?" I looked at him, furrowing my brows. Has he gone mental?

"No, it's definitely Saturday." He literally slammed the door on me. What the hell!?

Am I the one who's gone mental? Why is the headmaster at Josh's house, why is he saying it's Saturday? Is it Saturday? Possibly, but I swear Josh and I made plans to meet this morning! Why is he even here? Is this because... oh my gosh. This must be because William and him have some sort of weird affiliation. What if they're talking about what we did to his mother?

I pulled my cell out of my pocket, and dialled Josh's number. It took him a few seconds to answer, but he eventually did.

"Mmph... who- who's this?"

"Josh, are you sleeping?"

"Oh, Oli! Yeah, why are you calling?"

"I'm at your door and I swore it was Friday, so I was gonna see if you wanted to walk to college together."

"You're at the door!? Hold on!"

He hung up and I saw him run downstairs in a rush through the windows. I giggled at his cuteness, he literally just woke up and he was still running as fast as ever. The door slammed open again with an ecstatic looking Josh, still in his PJs. I swear, stars were sparkling in his eyes he was that excited. He pulled me into a tight hug, which I of course returned.

"Oli! What are you doing here so early?" He pulled away, giving me a cheerful grin, thrilled to see me. I was so touched by the fact that he was happy to see me. It made me feel so special.

"It's Friday, right? Haven't we to walk to school today?" I made Josh chuckle, embarrassingly.

"No no, it's Saturday, we planned that for next week. It doesn't matter now, come in." He wrapped his arm around me, pulling me inside and shutting the door.

"Wait! Josh, why is the headmaster in your house?" I whispered in his ear. He gave me a confused look, as if he had no idea what I meant. "Yeah, I knocked the door and he opened it, then told me it was Saturday and slammed it in my face."

"He slammed it in your face?" Josh growled, anger suddenly washing over him. I nodded, more confused than ever. "I'm going to kill that prick." He seethed through gritted teeth. "Where is he at? I'm going to go find him." He took ahold of my hand. We walked to the kitchen, where to my surprise, there he was. He was there with Josh's dad, they seemed like they were having a conversation, but stopped as soon as we entered the room. They stopped and stared at us both. Josh was absolutely fuming, steam was practically coming off of him.

"Josh, why are you awa-" Josh's dad was trying to speak, but was interrupted.

"Why the fuck did you not let Oliver in?" Josh spat, Mr Fuentes just widened his eyes and flickered them between Josh and I.
