Mischief in senior secondary school.

Chapter Seven: Almost there...

     Hannah was panting when she finally reached Rebecca's table. Rebecca knew that she had some news for them.

"The prank group are planning to trick someone again" She said when she had finally caught her breath"

"Who do you think it's for?"  Rebecca asked.

"I don't know. Before I could find out, Sarah caught me spying on them. She was chasing me for a while but I think I lost her" Hannah replied.

"You shouldn't run that much Hannah. You could really..."

"I know, I know. But it wasn't that long a distance so don't worry" Hannah said.

Gabriella didn't know what to do. She wanted to say what she knew, but she knew Rebecca would never forgive her for being a part of it. But she knew who she could tell. Tom. She excused herself from Rebecca's table saying that She wanted to get a book and she dashed of to the library.
     Tom was reading about the classification of animals when Gabriella rushed in. Tom looked up from his book as Gabriella pulled out a seat behind him. Tom didn't really like Gabriella. He knew about her history with the prank group and didn't know  how Rebecca found her so interesting. She interrupted his thoughts with her sudden outburst.

"I have something important to tell you" she said.

Tom have her a signal to continue and she told him all about the prank group's plan. Tom had mixed feelings about it. He felt betrayed, afraid and angry. He thought about what he could do to avoid the situation. Then an idea but him but only Rebecca could know about it. I'm or set not to make Gabriella suspicious, he decided to say something.

"Don't worry" He said "I can handle it"

Gabriella eyes him  with a doubtful expression then shrugged and left. She had done her part. Rebecca would understand why she had told Tom.
     Meanwhile in the classroom (You guessed it), Rebecca was reading a book. Betty rushed towards her and asked her if she could help her with an equation.

Betty was a really short girl with skin that reminded you of toffee and short brownish-black hair. Her shiny brown eyes have you the impression that she was a very nice person.

That couldn't be further from the truth.

"Could you help me with this?" She asked.

"Sure, just grab your chair"

"The textbook I need is in the library. Can we just study there?" She asked feigning innocence.

"Yeah okay"

Betty smirked on delight as she led the way to the library.

     When they got to the library, Betty suggested that they sit at the same table that Tom was sitting at. Betty expected Rebecca to turn pink, but Rebecca say down comfortably beside him, while betty say on his other side. Rebecca explained the equation and Betty left her alone with Tom. Betty pretended that she had left the library but she was still at the window spying on them.
     Rebecca and Tom talked about a lot of things, argued about a lot of things and found out that they had a lot in common.

"Eminem's raps are so cool" she had said. "I never get tired of listening to them"

Tom was a bit surprised. Why would Rebecca like a rapper like Eminem.

"But he swears all the time! I thought you hated it when I swore" He said.

"It's different when he does it" She says. They both laugh.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened until Rebecca decided to leave the library. Tom realized that she had left her purse behind. Tom knew that she would be a mess without her purse. He left the library hoping to catch up to her.
