it started with a dare (COMPLETED)

9) mystery on our hands

"Why are you parking all the way here?" I asked Luca. He parked near the back where no one was in sight. "I locked the car. You are not going anywhere until you tell me what Aubrey told you about me," he says with cold eyes. "Why do you care so much?" I asked. "I just do ok," he says. "Fine but you can't tell anyone ok?" I tell him, giving up. 

"Ok, so basically she told me she rejected you because she didn't want to fall in love you," I spill. I leave out the main details. "Did you love her?" I add. "That's all she told you?" he asked. "Yup," I confirm. "Oh," he answers and unlocks the car. 

"Come on, I heard you have a math test coming up and you better pass or I won't get a recommendation note from James," Luca tells me. "Ok," I follow him to the library.

"Before we get started you need to tell me why you and Aubrey became close all of an instant," Luca says. We chose to sit near the back. "Teen hormone shit, you know?" I answer. "Liar," he chuckles. "I'll get it out of you," he adds. "Good luck," I shrug and take a math notebook from him. "Ok let's start," he says.

Tuesday after school~ 

"How was math tutoring with Mr. Handsome yesterday?" Ethan asks. "Don't," I tell him. "Ugh, I got the junk food ready. Come on tell me what happened this time," he says and hands me some bags of chips.

I tell him about how Luca really wanted to know what Aubrey told me and all that shit that happened. "The tutoring part was normal you know. Besides the occasional flirting," I finish, rolling my eyes. 

"Well, we got a mystery on our hands. I think Luca murdered Aubrey and that's her nice twin sister," Ethan said once I finished my rant. "Maybe," I said sarcastically. "I was kidding," he chuckled. "But there is some shit going on. Find out what it is," Ethan said.  "Ok, how was Colorado?" I ask him. "Eh, boring. I was texting Josh the whole time," he smirked and I laughed. 

"I'm just so happy for our gang. Addalyn's over the mood about Eli. You and Josh love each other. Ember... you know her... hooking up with random people," I chuckle. "You and Luca," Ethan adds smirking. "Nope. That's only for a dare," I tell him. "Sure, tell me that once you 2 have kids and you name them, Trey, Juliet, and maybe a Romeo," Ethan goes on. "Wow, you have been planning our future," I give an astonishing look. "Yup," he beams and I face-palm.

Wednesday morning~

"Come on, Zoe! Hurry up," Addalyn calls. I overslept and now I had 5 minutes to change clothes. I usually skipped breakfast and good thing I took a shower last night because I went out skating after Ethan left and I was pretty sweaty. "Did you beat the annoying skater boys yesterday?" Addalyn asked once we're in her car. 

"I kicked ass," I smirk. "Good, that's what they get for mixing us up on purpose," she smirked back. 

I told her about the Luca and Aubrey dilemma- the same thing I told Ethan and she told me to find to more about their relationship. 

Holy shit! Luca might be a fucking murderer! 

"See ya at lunch," I tell Addalyn before going to find Luca. We arrived at school 15 minutes before the final bell rang and that was plenty to interrogate Luca Martinez. 

I made the chapter short because I wanted the next part to start off on a new chapter
