Amara's POV
"AHHH THAT HURTS DORA!" I yell at her as she puts the disinfectant on my knee.
"Then you should stop being so clumsy! Who falls out of their own car door?" Pandora chuckles and I feel a little guilty about lying to her but it was for her safety. The less she knew, the better. "Okay all done!" She picks up all the waste and washes her hands.
"Do you want to go shopping on Saturday? I need to update my wardrobe and could use your help." I give her my puppy eyes and she gives me a sad look.
"I would Mimi but I have a modelling gig on Saturday." Her face brightens. "You should come!" I shake my head immediately.
"No no no! I would rather spend the day with Dad at his golf club." We both chuckle.
"You are so rude!" She hits me lightly and we laugh.

Strange. For the past couple of weeks whenever I opened my locker a note would fall out but today there was nothing. Maybe C was scared he would actually get caught and decided to stop. I hope he fucking did or I would have killed him.
"Hey, Queen." I turn and see Vincent and wince. "Yeah I know it's bad." He had this big purple and blue bruise over his jaw and a few cuts over his eyebrow.
"Bad? You look like a truck ran over you and then decided that wasn't enough so reversed over you and then drove off again." I chuckle slightly and he pouts.
"You're mean."
"And you look like a chewed up piece of gum." I smile at him innocently.
"At least I won." He smirks. I lean and place a kiss to congratulate him.
"You should've taken the day off!" I scold him.
"And have you worried about me again? I'm fine I've done this before. Now tell me what note did you get today?"
"I actually haven't gotten a note today. And I think it might have something to do what happened yesterday." His face turned from surprised to confusion.

"So you're telling me that C was watching us and then you heard him, chased him down, threw a pair of heels at him, tripped and hurt yourself and then drove home without telling me?" Vincent looks at me with a look of betrayal which was mixed with anger.
"You had the fight to focus on! And maybe the fact that he knows he can be caught so easily that he stopped sending notes"! I shrug.
"Let's hope it's just that." He pulls me in for a hug and people were still staring at us like we were out of this world. I get that Vincent is hot and you wouldn't think he would go for someone like me but like get over it.
"I have the first period free so I am going to go to the library. I'll see you soon." I kiss him and grab my textbook from my locker and make my way to the library.
Just before I walk into the library I hear someone call out my name, "Amara!" I turn and see it was Connor jogging towards me.
"Hey."
"Hey! I wanted to ask if C took the bait?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.
"He did. But it wasn't anything useful." I give a small smile. "Thanks for the idea anyway."
"That's shit. I was hoping we could catch this weirdo."
"It's okay, he can't do anything." I make a gesture towards the door. "I got to get going. I have a tone of notes to catch up on."
