"Who do you guys think did it?" Jake asked looking at Quinnel and Zaire.Zaire looked at Quinnel who shook his head lightly."Maybe we can get a hacker to help us track down the IP address of the poster?" Jake asked and Zaire and Quinnel looked up at him immediately.Presently, they were in the cafeteria with students chatter all over the room. And the word on their lips was about the post.No one. Absolutely no one could guess who posted it. They thought Navaeh was someone loved by the whole school so something like this happening was absurd."IP address?" Zaire asked foolishly and Jake shook his head."Yes. An IP address is your house internet address of a sort. It's like, when you have that number... You already know whose house the internet is coming from. Simple as that. But you can't just randomly find it. Cause the IP address is like the key to your house internet. But, a hacker can access the internet and find someone that posted it by tracking down the IP address. Simple as t
"So this is the house where the IP address was tracked to?" Navaeh asked turning to Quinnel who gave me a nod. They were all standing in front of a house that was constructed with wood that had almost fallen unto the house. The woods had been eaten by woodpeckers yet it seemed someone was living in it since there was light in what they presumed to be the kitchen."Ready to find out who it is?" Zaire questioned Navaeh and she nodded her head."We need a plan first. Whoever is in there won't just say they indeed did it, you know?" Ashley asked and Navaeh nodded her head slowly."Okay, Jake and Zaire... You guys should go maybe into the person's room, get the person's phone or a laptop of a sort... Any device the person might have used to post it.""Why?" Jake asked Ashley."We're going to need evidence you know? You can't just barge into the school and say so so is the person that framed our baby. No one would believe you without an evidence. People would think you're desperate to cle
In the school hallway that led to the auditorium. Students were filing out of the auditorium with shock on their faces. They discussed what they had just heard in twos, threes, groups... Even people that had never talked to each other in their whole lives talked to each other! "I can't believe Amelia would do something like that." "I know right? It's really confusing. She didn't seem to hate Navaeh. She greeted her once in a while." "Exactly. Those you never think would do something are the ones that stab you in the back." "Those that chose to believe Navaeh are really wise." "I know right? The poor girl had to work to cater her siblings need and someone used that against her? How horrible." "But I have to give kudos to Navaeh. I have trouble babysitting my junior brother that is even 10! But she has to take care of her two siblings that are half his age! And they're two!" "Me too! She's really trying." "I pity her. How could a hardworking student be called a slut just like t
Navaeh. "Come on. Aelin. Where's Aerin?" I asked wearing my sneakers. "Oh... she's already outside. I have no idea why she's there though. She really weird if you ask me." She replied scrunching her nose before focusing back on her cereal. I looked at Aelin in disbelief. I shook my head and stood up straight having successfully worn both shoes. "You shouldn't say that about your sister. She finished her breakfast earlier than you and is ready to go doesn't mean she's weird. Understood?" She nodded her head and muttered an apology before taking her bowl of finished cereal to the sink. She climbed up the stool right in front of it and washed her dish placing it back in it's rightful place. We walked outside hand in hand to see Aerin standing there looking in distance. She noticed our presence as she looked up at both of us. "Hola." I smiled in response. "Lunch?" I asked. "Check." They both replied. "Lunch money?" "You haven't given us." Aerin said. "Oh shoot. I'll be ri
Quinnel. "Bye Mom." I said. "Won't you eat breakfast?" She asked coming from the kitchen. "I know... I'm late for practice." "Regards to coach." "Kay... bye big man." "Bye." Caspian muttered eating his cereal. Today was the first day of school and yes we really do have practice... Crazy coach. I could ditch practice but I'm the captain so I can't. I entered my Corolla and drove to school passing by the Thatcher's. Standing outside was a girl whose hair was packed into two ponytails or was it quacktails? I knew it was one animal tails staring into the air with no care in the world. I drove past her and then to school. Running out of the car, I ran to the stadium. "You're late, Ashford!" Coach bellowed. "I know I know..." I said and dropped my bag on one of the bleachers. "Why were you late?" Zaire asked me after practice. "I slept in." I said and winked at him before gulping water. "Well, let's go. People are arriving! It's our last year and first day! Yayyyyy!" Zaire ye
Is this the sign a rapture is coming? Is the world coming to an end?! I'm not ready to die! "Quinnel?" I asked again. Don't blame me. I'm shocked to the bones right now. Quinnel Ashford is on the phone with me?! As in, it's Quinnel, the captain of the basketball team. The one I only talked to by mistake this morning! Yes, that Quinnel. "Navaeh, you still there?" I heard making me shake my head slipping the thought out of my head. "Umm, Quinnel Ashford?" I asked still in disbelief. "Don't hang up...please. I know you probably hate me but..." "I don't hate you Quinnel." I said cutting him off. "You don't?! Oh my God! Thank you so much. Oh Goodness! I was scared you did." He replied heaving a sigh of relief. "Well I don't so..." I dragged kicking the air. "Oh right... Look I know what happened has happened but could you kind of... forgive me? That's all I need. Look..." He said and then paused. "I'm sorry for that time and all but I just need your forgiveness. Could you forgi
With a furrowed brows, I continued to stare at Quinnel who was also staring at me with both hands in his pocket."Dude, what the fuck?" Was the first thing that flew out of my mouth before I could even process it."Hold on, I mean... What are you doing here?" I corrected shaking my head."Right. Can I come in first?" He asked and I blinked and then nodded."I think I saw a ladder there this afternoon, check that side." I said pointing at the wall."Oh okay." I nodded my head and then leaned on the window pane. Turning my head briefly to my room, my eyes widened."Ah geez, this ladder is heavy." He said placing it on the side of my wall.I would have asked him to climb the tree, but my room is not like the typical cliche girl having a tree by her room.Shut up, Navaeh... That's not the point right now.I turned my head back to him and he was already on the second to the last step."Stop!" I yelled holding his shoulder and he froze blinking at me."Don't look into the room. Just close
Being the only black girl gave me a kind of popularity when I first came to this school. And then my academics gave me more popularity. Hold on, I didn't tell you I was black? Let me describe myself again. My personal appearance now I mean. "Ash..." When did we go on nickname calling? It all happened when she and her girlfriend saw me this morning and came to meet me so we could enter the school together. "Morning, Neve." I'm like, what?! "Ash... Could you like describe me? My physical appearance, I mean." I said and she nodded her eyes twinkling. "Why does she look so happy?" I asked Connie. "You'll find out soon." Connie replied with a smile looking at her girlfriend. "Shhh! I'm about to go." Ashley said making us look back at her. I wanted to talk but Connie held my arm and shook her head. I blinked before going back to Ashley. "Alright. Get ready to hear the most fascinating and most interesting description ever." She said rubbing her palm together. I smiled at her en
