[Charlotte's POV]

Faith and Bryan turned the corner to come to the cafeteria. Corbyn and Daniel got in position. Jonah, Jack, and Zach were at the lunch table with Ellie, waiting for Lily. Isabella and I were here to distract Faith and take her away, while Emma caught Bryan.

"Are you ready? Isa asked.

She sighed. "Ready as I'll ever be."

"Let's get this twatwaffle!" I said to reassure Ermo. This was the right thing to do. Isabella and I brought Fay to the cafeteria while Emma did her thing.

Soon Faith's phone buzzed. It was a text from Corbyn with an attachment. I glanced over at Zach with a smirk, and he returned it. I studied Faith's facial expression as she watched the video. It was confused, but also angry. After the film finished, she rushed out of the lunch room.

"I hope this goes well." Jonah sighed and watched her walk away.

About a minute later, Faith returned. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. She picked up her lunch and ran.

"Well aren't you going to go after her?" Jack gestured from Jonah to where Fay had left.

"No dont. She need some time." Ellie shook her head to confirm the decision.

After a few moments, Corbyn, came into the room with Emma and Daniel following. He was all smiles, and the other two were giggling about something.

"Where'd she go?" Emma's face dropped after she saw Faith wasn't here.

"She just ran out." Jonah explained. Corbyn took over where Faith was sitting.

"Well I got dibs on her lunch." He started munching on the taco in a bag.

"Well what happened? How did it go with that rodent?" I wanted to hear the whole story.

"He fell right into the trap." Corbyn said with food in his mouth.

"Yeah." Daniel agreed. He was awfully quiet, it wasn't like him.

"And then he was like, 'I'll get you Emma Wood' but I don't actually care." Emma shrugged.

"So we got him?" Zach asked, hopeful.

"Yes sir." Corbyn nodded, lettuce coming out of his mouth.

"Bean! Close your mouth when you eat!" Isabella scolded and we laughed. He obeyed. After swallowing, he spoke.

"We also have an announcement!" He pointed to Isa with a finger.

"Oh my lasagna! She's pregnant." I exclaimed and buried my face in my hands.

"Charlotte Riley McGregor!" Isa smacked my arm. "I am not pregnant!"

Zach and Jack were snickering, and I'm sure everyone else was trying to hold in a laugh too.

"Lottie, no." Corbyn rolled his eyes. "We're-" He paused and let Isabella finish.

"Official!" She exclaimed with a smile on her face.
