The Facility

Thursday

"Alright kids. That's a wrap for today. It's all sounding really good so far! We just might win this year!" Said the choir instructor. It was about 7 p.m and they were just wrapping up on their choir rehearsal.

Ray was drinking some water off to the side a few moments after Mr. Luke gave them the okay to go. They were in the school's recreation wing. This was the same room they had been having dance rehearsals with Ms. Patterson.

Yoongi was at his side, drinking and staring at him as if amused.

Ray stopped drinking and put his water away. Next he shook his head and got his bag onto his shoulder. Today had been . . . a long day.

Yoongi chuckled, resting against the wall by his shoulder. "Still shaken up by what you heard from your little phone app? What? It wasn't anything concerning was it?" He spoke slowly as his eyes closed down.

Ray gave him a look. "I wasn't shaken up." He knew that Yoongi was referring to the recording he'd taken of what Perrie and Leigh had been talking about. Ray had listened to it during their lunch break and what he heard was . . . interesting. "Hmm . . . Jesy likes luring people in . . . and she's dangerous according to Perrie. But . . . why?" He stroked his chin, trying to hide that he was actually excited about uncovering all of these mysteries. This was the most fun he had had at school yet. But of course, he did not appear that way, to be having fun.

"Why is she dangerous?" Yoongi asked slowly.

Ray looked at him.

"I can answer that."

Ray groaned. He had asked Yoongi about all of this after listening but all the guy had done was laugh softly at him. "I know you can but you won't-"

"Because- oh you don't want the answer?" Yoongi shrugged extremely slowly. "Okay suit yourself."

"Wait what? You were actually gonna tell me?" Ray couldn't believe this guy!

Yoongi sipped his water then took in their surroundings. Everyone was packing up and talking to their friends. "I will try to give you answers to at least one question. Ask me away. The one question I mean."

Ray narrowed his eyes. "Okay, how on earth do you know so much about Jesy? Are you bluffing? I've literally never seen you two interact and yet . . . you act like you know her really well."

"Jesy . . . is my best friend."

Ray was frozen. "Okay uhhhh when-when-when exactly did this happen? In the story Perrie told Hoseok was in it but you weren't. Where the hell were you?"

"I do not like to be seen. I was always there and I always will be there. Me and her have been friends the longest but no one will know unless they follow us into the night." Yoongi smiled devilishly.

Ray . . . was intrigued. "Into the night?"

Yoongi fanned at him slowly. "Ask about what you heard, not me and Jesy's personal business. I am growing exhausted." He yawned into his hand.

"Okay and you're gonna answer for real? You're not trolling me?" Ray narrowed his eyes.

Yoongi smiled tiredly.

Ray groaned. "Alright well . . ." His eyes were on Jesy and Perrie who were speaking to each other. Perrie was leaning against the wall on her shoulder while Jesy twirled her hair with her finger. They were acting basically like what guys imagined when they thought of a hot lesbian couple. He shook his head. "Why did it seem like, in the story of how they met, Jesy was kinda like . . . crazy about Perrie? I mean she was basically stalking her and allowing her to beat her up. Was that like an exaggeration on Perrie's part? Was Jesy actually that creepy?"
