68 Old Friend: Part 11 (1/2)
Library. 1500 Hours.
”So you were in a car crash last night?” Iris sipped her cup of tea that Lizeth made for her.
”Yeah,” Lizeth said.
”You have a hell of bad luck with car don't you think?” Iris commented.
”I have no idea about that. How did you escape by the way?” Lizeth wanted to know how she could attend the school today.
”My father SWAT team rescued me,” Iris said, but Lizeth knew that it wasn't the real truth. Hell, even the police weren't involved in last night businesses.
”I see. Good for you.”
Iris moved closer to Lizeth. She whispered something on her ear, ”My father is watching us. I can't be involved in illegal things.”
”Good for you. It's bad for your health you know,” Lizeth opened a pill tube and swallowed one of the pills. It was the same Oxycodone. She needed a painkiller for her bullet wounds.
”Why are you always taking those drugs? The others said that you are an addict,” Iris asked.
”Painkillers. I only take it when necessary. Still, I don't want to be addicted to this,” Lizeth showed her pill tube.
”I see. Want to hear some rumors?” Iris offered.
”Sure.”
”I heard that Clara is going to move here.”
”Really?”
”Yeah, and I heard that a new transfer student is coming with her,” Iris said.
”What's her name?”
”I don't know, but it ends with McGrath.”
”Hmm, I see,” Lizeth had the idea of what the person might be, but she wasn't sure. Clara would live next to her dorm room for sure. She wanted to take a rest for that night. She was still tired from dealing with the terrorist. Besides, she just got two million dollars which made her practically the richest person around there.
Iris left the library, ”Well, I have to go now. See you later Lizeth,” Iris said.
”See ya,” Lizeth waved her hand and she gulped her tea in a single strike. She wanted to leave the library, but someone with a guest tag came into the library. It was a friend. A student from another school. Aline.
She sat down in front of her and drunk Iris's tea. She put her bag below the table, ”What do you want?” Lizeth asked.
”Oh my. Why do you have to be so rude?” Aline said.
”Really though, what do you want?” Lizeth asked her again.
”I just really want to visit you,” Aline said.
”Really?”
”Nah. I just wanted to check on you.”
”Check on what?”
”Did Lynn really show you the ropes?”
”I guess.”
”Really? Even she didn't tell you the function of those colorful pens on your medic bag,” Aline said her doubt.
”What? Those injections? I don't even know that they were injections,” Lizeth said.
”Do you have a dog?” Aline asked.
”No, why? Is it a problem?” Lizeth said.
”Yes, a dog is important in solo operation. He can be your best friend,” Aline said.
”Ok. Anything else?” Lizeth was annoyed and wanted her to leave as soon as possible.
”Hmm, Lynn. Yes, that person,” Aline said.
”Why are you keep saying Lynn, Lynn, and Lynn?” Lizeth asked her.
”Your death really impacts her. She will need a replacement and Lizeth will be a perfect replacement,” Aline uttered her idea.
”Are you nuts?”
”No, I'm not. Lizeth tried to hit a girl in the past, I guess no harm will be done if you try to hit her,” Aline said.
”Are you sure? How should I approach her?” Lizeth asked.
”Be yourself,” Aline said.
”I see. Well, how should I meet her? We're in a different place after all,” Lizeth said.
”Haven't you heard that she will move here?” Aline asked. Lizeth was shocked. So that McGrath was Lynn McGrath. Her friend, where would she live though? Which room would she choose?
”So that McGrath is Lynn McGrath?” Lizeth asked.
”Yes.”
